Deutsche Bank, as the depositary bank for CSL Limited’s sponsored Level I ADR program, performs the following roles for ADR holders:

Records and maintains the register of ADR holders;
Is the stock transfer agent;
Distributes dividends in U.S. dollars; and
Issues and cancels CSL Limited ADRs.

For those holders which are not registered because their shares are held through a ‘street name’ (nominee account), your nominee will receive company documents from time to time from Deutsche Bank to distribute to ADR holders. You need to make arrangements with your nominee if you wish to receive such documents and to be able to exercise your vote through the depositary bank at general meetings (if applicable).

Frequently asked questions

What is an American Depositary Receipt?

An ADR is a negotiable US certificate representing ownership of shares in a non-US corporation. ADRs are quoted and traded in US dollars in the US securities market. Dividend payments (if declared by the Board of Directors) are also paid in US dollars. ADRs were specifically designed to facilitate the purchase, holding and sale of non-US securities by US investors and to provide a corporate finance vehicle for non-US companies.
What are the benefits of ADRs to US investors?

US investors generally prefer to purchase ADRs rather than ordinary shares in the issuer's home market because ADRs trade, clear and settle according to US market conventions. One of the main advantages is the facilitation of diversification into foreign securities. ADRs allow easy comparison to securities of similar companies, as well as access to price and trading information. ADR holders also appreciate US dollar dividend payments (if declared) and receiving corporate action notifications

Why are ADS holders charged dividend fees or annual service fees?

It is common for depositary banks to charge ADR holders dividend fees and/or annual service fees of up to $0.05 per ADR per annum for companies with ADRs traded on the OTC market. The fees are charged to cover administrative costs associated with the ADR program.
