Amendments to the Form of Adr Clause Samples
The "Amendments to the Form of ADR" clause defines the process and conditions under which the form or terms of an American Depositary Receipt (ADR) may be changed. Typically, this clause outlines who has the authority to make such amendments—often the depositary bank—and whether the consent of ADR holders is required. For example, it may allow for updates to reflect changes in applicable law or to clarify procedures, provided that such changes do not materially prejudice the rights of the holders. The core function of this clause is to provide flexibility for the issuer and depositary to adapt the ADR terms as needed, while balancing the protection of investors' interests.
