American Depositary Receipt Adr Issuance Legal Counsel in Manhattan
What the facility requires depends on its level. An unsponsored or Level I ADR trades over the counter and relies on the exemption in Rule 12g3-2(b), which requires the issuer to publish its home-market disclosures in English rather than to register. Level II is listed on a US exchange and requires registration on Form 20-F, and Level III adds a public offering on Form F-1. The deposit itself is registered separately. The depositary registers the receipts on Form F-6, which covers the ADRs rather than the underlying shares, and the deposit agreement sets the fees, voting mechanics and the holder’s right to withdraw the deposited securities. Ongoing obligations follow the level. A Level II or III issuer files an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of fiscal year end and furnishes Form 6-K, and the foreign private issuer status that permits those forms is retested annually as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter.
