ADR
What is an ADS/ADR?
ADRs are a negotiable US dollar denominated certificate representing ownership of shares in a non-US company. Ericsson’s ADRs represent Ericsson’s ordinary shares deposited with the depositary bank, to underlie such certificates and carry the rights attached to them as detailed in the Depositary Agreement. Holders of ADRs receive dividends in US dollars and have the right to vote on shareholders resolutions. The term ADR and ADS are often used interchangeably. ADRs were specifically designed to facilitate the purchase, holding and sale of non-U.S. securities by US investors.
What is the ADR ratio?
This is the relation between the number of ADRs and the number of ordinary shares.
Every 1 ordinary Ericsson share represents 1 Ericsson ADR.

Dividend fee of $0.01 per ADR ($0.005 per dividend distribution, in April and October).
Annual service fee of $0.02 per ADR (in October).
