American Depositary Receipts

An American Depositary Receipt ("ADR") is a U.S. dollar denominated form of equity ownership in a non-U.S. company. It represents the foreign shares of the company held on deposit by a custodian bank in the company's home country and carries the corporate and economic rights of the foreign shares, subject to the terms specified on the ADR certificate.

Volkswagen has 2 sponsored ADR programs, representing the ordinary and preference shares. Both are sponsored by J.P. Morgan and trade in the US on the over-the-counter (OTC) market.
