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. Dividends are paid to investors 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.

An American Depositary Share ("ADS") is a US dollar denominated form of equity ownership in a non-US corporation. It represents the foreign shares of the company held on deposit by a custodian bank in the company's home country. One or several ADSs can be represented by a physical ADR certificate. The terms ADR and ADS are often used interchangeably.

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 an ADR's main advantages is the facilitation of diversification into foreign securities. ADRs also allow easy comparison to securities of similar companies as well as access to price and trading information, if listed. ADR holders also appreciate dollar dividend payments and receiving corporate action notifications.

ADR issuers are typically large multinational corporations. Any non-US company seeking to raise capital in the US or increase their base of US investors can issue ADRs.

Investors receive annual reports and proxy materials in English. ADR issuers are generally accessible through websites in English, and through the main depositary bank websites. US-listed ADRs provide holders with the same level of information as any other US security. As MultiChoice Group's ADRs are not listed on a US exchange, MultiChoice Group does not provide US GAAP financial statements.

The ADRs are traded over-the-counter. The trading code is MCHOY. The CUSIP number is 62548D100. The ratio between the ordinary share and the ADR is 1:1.

A registered ADR holder is one whose name appears on the books of the depositary. The registered ADR holder is considered the owner of record. A beneficial ADR holder is one whose holdings are registered in a name other than their own, such as in the name of a broker, bank or nominee.

Dividends are paid in US dollars and are generally taxable, just like dividends on US shares. In addition, taxes may be withheld by the ADR company's local government. Depending on individual circumstances, foreign taxes withheld might be applied as a credit against US taxes, or tax reclaim opportunities may be offered.
