About Level 1 American Depositary Receipt (ADR) Program
Level 1 ADRs allow US investors to trade shares in the form of securities from companies that are not listed on a U.S. stock exchange. ADRs represent ordinary shares of a company at a certain ratio. Level 1 ADRs are traded on the OTCQX, OTCQB or OTC Pink marketplaces and are issued by the designated depositary bank that acts as the transfer agent, either in cooperation with the company (Sponsored) or without the company’s involvement (Unsponsored). The price generally tracks the price of the foreign security in its home market, adjusted for the ratio of ADRs to foreign company shares.
