UBA runs a GDR programme to enable foreign institutional investors to hold and trade UBA shares without having to expatriate funds into Nigeria.
UBA has run a bifurcated GDR programme since 8 May 1998 under the CUSIPs 90953F104 (144A), symbol UBAFYP and 90953F203 (Reg S). On 20 March 2007, UBA issued new Reg S GDRs to international investors, under a temporary CUSIP 90953F302. It is anticipated that Early in 2008 the programmes will be merged under a single CUSIP.
The Bank of New York Mellon. The depositary bank plays a key role in the process of issuance and as cancellation of GDRs. It also maintains the GDR holder register and distributes the dividends in US dollars. For additional information, please visit our profile at the Bank of New York Mellon’s website here.
For additional information not contained on this website, please visit www.adrbny.com. Go to the DR Corporate Actions or DR Dividends Distribution buttons on the vertical scroll bar on the left and then enter company name, CUSIP or symbol.
The GDRs are preferred by some investors who are unable to hold Nigerian securities for compliance reasons or due to a lack of the appropriate infrastructure for holding an Ordinary share (a local custodian). The GDRs also trade, clear and settle according to international market conventions rather than those prevalent in Nigeria.
Dividends are paid in US dollars.
Investors receive annual reports and proxy materials in English.
The GDRs are traded Over-The-Counter. The ratio between the ordinary share and the GDR is 1:200.
