Dollar-Denominated Negotiable Certificate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An ADR is a dollar-denominated negotiable certificate that represents ownership of shares in a non-U.S. company. The structure of an ADR includes a ratio, which correlates the amount of underlying shares to the receipt. An ADR can be canceled for its underlying shares at anytime.
