An American depositary share (ADS) is an equity share of a non-U.S. company that is held by a U.S. depositary bank and can be traded in the U.S.

Why does Arm list ADSs rather than shares?

What does owning ADSs mean for my rights as an investor?

As an owner of ADSs, you will not have direct shareholder rights. The depositary will exercise on your behalf the shareholder rights attached to the ordinary shares underlying your ADSs. As an owner of ADSs you will be able to exercise the shareholder rights for the ordinary shares represented by your ADSs through the depositary as contemplated in the deposit agreement. More information on the deposit agreement can be found in Arm’s registration statement on Form F-1.

As an ADS holder, can I still vote on decisions of Arm?

As an ADS holder, you generally have the right under the deposit agreement to instruct the depositary to exercise the voting rights for the ordinary shares represented by your ADSs.

As an ADS holder, will I still receive any dividends which are paid out by Arm?

As a holder of ADSs, you generally have the right to receive the distributions Arm makes on its securities. However, your receipt of these distributions may be limited by practical considerations and legal limitations.

Why is there an annual fee for holding an ADS?

All ADS holders are required to pay certain depositary fees (see page 200 of the Prospectus filed with the SEC on September 14, 2023, for a list of all the fees). There is an annual ADS service fee charged by the depositary bank to cover their costs for managing the ADS program. In the case of Arm, Citibank collects up to USD $0.05 per ADS held on the annual record date. Note that the fees and charges may be changed, but you will receive prior notice from Citibank of such changes.
