international depositories (ODB), and they
represent an interest in the underlying shares
held by them in the issuer company (Indian
Company). The shares are usually held by a
domestic custodian on behalf of the depositories

the holder of the receipts to get the underlying
shares on demand.

American Depository Receipts (ADRs) and those
listed and traded elsewhere are known as Global
Depository Receipts (GDRs). In Indian context,
DRs are treated as FDI

ADR
AMERICAN DEPOSITORY RECEIPTS

ADR is a dollar-denominated negotiable
certificate. It represents a non-US companys
publicly traded equity. It was devised in the late
1920s to help Americans invest in overseas
securities and to assist non-US companies
wishing to have their stock traded in the
American Markets.
ADR were introduced as a result of of the
complexities involved in buying shares in foreign
countries and the difficulties associated with
trading at different prices and currency values.

Levels of adr
Level 1- Level 1 depositary receipts are the lowest level of
sponsored ADRs that can be issued. When a company issues
sponsored ADRs, it has one designated depositary who also
acts as its transfer agent.
Level 1 shares can only be traded on the OTC market and the
company has minimal reporting requirements with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission [SEC].
Level 2- Level 2 depositary receipt programs are more
complicated for a foreign company. When a foreign company
wants to set up a Level 2 program, it must file a registration
statement with the U.S. SEC and is under SEC regulation.
The advantage that the company has by upgrading their program to

Level 2 is that the shares can be listed on a U.S. stock exchange.
These exchanges include the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE),
NASDAQ, and the American Stock Exchange (AMEX).
Level 3- A Level 3 American Depositary Receipt program is the
highest level a foreign company can sponsor. Because of this
distinction, the company is required to adhere to stricter rules that
are similar to those followed by U.S. companies.
Foreign companies with Level 3 programs will often issue materials
that are more informative and are more accommodating to their U.S.
shareholders because they rely on them for capital
GLOBAL DEPOSITORY RECEIPTS

A bank certificate issued in more than one country
for shares in a foreign company. The shares are held
by a foreign branch of an international bank. The
shares trade as domestic shares, but are offered for
sale globally through the various bank branches.
A financial instrument used by private markets to
raise capital denominated in either U.S. dollars or
Euros.
The voting rights of the shares are exercised by the
Depository as per the understanding between the
issuing company and the GDR holders.
Types of gdr
Rule 144A GDRs
Rule 144A GDRs are privately placed depositary
receipts which are issued and traded in accordance
with Rule 144A. This rule was introduced by the
SEC in April 1990 in part to stimulate capital raising
in the US by non-US issuers.
Non-US companies now haveready access to the
US equity private placement market and may thus
raise capital through the issue of Rule 144A GDRs
without complying with the stringent SEC
registration and reporting requirements.
Regulation S
With the global integration of the major securities
markets, it is now commonplace to have fungible
securities listed and cleared in more than one
market.
Just as ADRs allow non-US issuers to access the
important US market, GDRs allow issuers to tap
the European markets.
