GDR1. Listed on stock exchange

outside America2. Not so stringent

Accounting Requirements

Setting the RatioDetermining the ratio of underlying shares to

Depositary Shares (DSs)

DSs are established as a multiple or fraction of the underlying shares and the ratio can influence the price trading range

Point for Consideration: - Industry peers

Exchange options- Investor Appeal

Page 51: adr -gdr

Setting the Ratio (Contd…)

Example: Satyam Computer Services Ltd.15 Million ADRs = 30 Million local sharesTherefore, the ratio is:1:2 of ADRs to Local shares

There is no “correct” ratio for DRs

Page 54: adr -gdr

PRICING OF THE ISSUE Current regulations- companies have to

price their issue at the higher point of the preceding six months' average price or last 15 days' average price before the issue.

54

Page 55: adr -gdr

There is another simplification in the works. Under the existing norms, both the averages — six months and 15 days — are calculated from one month prior to the date on which the company’s shareholders decide to consider the issue. This norm is designed to ensure that there is no price manipulation by the issuer in the domestic market.

55

Page 56: adr -gdr

Pricing of AdrCorporates raising equity capital overseas

may soon get more flexibility in pricing their Americ Depository Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depository Receipts (GDRs). The move comes after corporate houses complained that under the existing pricing norms, their offerings may not find many takers in the current bearish market.

56

Page 57: adr -gdr

The finance ministry has proposed to shorten the period of trading used to compute the price at which equity shares could be issued in global markets.

57

Page 58: adr -gdr

The ministry also wants to remove this requirement that the closing prices should be calculated one month before shareholders decide to raise capital abroad. In future, closing prices up to the date on which the shareholders decide on the issuance could be considered. This would make the price more realistic, closer to current price.

Two Way FungibilityConversion of depository receipts into local shares and vice

It is the conversion of the already converted ADR/GDR stock back to depository receipts

Reverse Fungibility

Page 92: adr -gdr

Benefits of Two Way Fungibility to Issuer

The issuer can have the following benefits;Ability to increase the number of outstanding

depository receipts to the original amountIncreased liquidity in the international investor

market due to more number of depository receipts available

Increased stock price of the depository receipts due to increase in demand

More flexibility in acquiring companies overseas, as the stock component can be increased in a cash and stock deal, thereby saving precious foreign exchange.

Page 93: adr -gdr

Benefits of Two Way Fungibility to InvestorNon residents can avail of the tax benefits under

Section 115 AC of the Income Tax Act 1961 which is applicable to non resident investors in ADRs / GDRs offered against issue of fresh underlying shares. The same benefits will now be available to investors in ADRs / GDRs against existing equity shares.

Higher float available on the DR stock and hence better liquidity.

93

Page 94: adr -gdr

Dual FungibilityDR’s can be issued as investor demand increases in the

international market and can be Re-converted as demand is greater in the home market. Both should be done only when arbit

Example – Say ADR/GDR is traded in the international market at Rs. 1000. The local share is traded in domestic market say Rs.1300. Then there is an arbitrage opportunity and a profit of Rs.300 can be earned in the domestic market of the local share. If once again the ADR/GDR prices rise in the global market, then the local share can be Re-converted into ADRs/GDRs.

Arbitrage Strategy1. Buy DR2. Sell local stock in India in futures market3. Convert shares from DR to local4. Deliver shares to stock exchange in India5. Deposit proceeds in Indian bank account6. Repatriate funds7. Repeat process

HeadRoomHead Room is the extent to which Depository

Receipts can be issued under Two Way Fungibility with respect to the specific company

Head Room = Number of ADRs/GDRs originally issued - Number of ADRs/GDRs outstanding further adjusted for ADRs/GDRs redeemed into underlying shares and registered in the name of the non-resident investors

Page 98: adr -gdr

Head RoomThere is a crucial difference in ADR provisions of India

and other countries like Germany, Hong Kong, South Korea etc.

In India ADR’s have ‘Limited Two Way Fungibility’ .If Headroom is not available and ADR is trading at a

premium then no possibility of Arbitrage opprtunity.It is difficult to obtain the accurate information about

headroom availability in terms of current and historical data.

There can be a situation where Headroom is not available but ADR is trading at a premium…Then what are the factors responsible for higher ADR price?
