BNY does not undertake any obligation to update or amend any information or data, and may change, update or amend any information or data at any time without prior notice.

 

BNY provides no advice, recommendation or endorsement with respect to any company or securities. No information or data is intended to provide legal, tax, accounting, investment, financial, trading or other advice on any matter, and is not to be used as such. This material has been prepared without taking into account your objectives, financial situation or needs and you should obtain independent professional financial advice that considers your circumstances before making any financial or investment decisions. We expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon any information or data, including market value loss on the sale or purchase of securities or other instruments or obligations.

Nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy securities.

 

BNY collects fees from DR holders pursuant to the terms and conditions of the DRs and any deposit agreement under which they are issued. From time to time, BNY may make payments to an issuer to reimburse and/or share revenue from the fees collected from DR holders, or waive fees and expenses to an issuer for services provided, generally related to costs and expenses arising out of the establishment and maintenance of the applicable DR program. BNY may pay a rebate to brokers in connection with unsponsored DR issuances; brokers may or may not disclose or pass back some or all of such rebate to the DR investor. BNY may also use brokers, dealers or other service providers that are affiliates and that may earn or share fees and commissions.

 

BNY may execute DR foreign currency transactions itself or through its affiliates, or the Custodian or the underlying issuer of securities underlying DRs may execute foreign currency transactions and pay US dollars to BNY. In those instances where it executes DR foreign currency transactions itself or through its affiliates, BNY acts as principal counterparty and not as agent, advisor, broker or fiduciary. In such cases, BNY has no obligation to obtain the most favorable exchange rate, makes no representation that the rate is a favorable rate and will not be liable for any direct or indirect losses associated with the rate. BNY earns and retains revenue on its executed foreign currency transactions based on, among other things, the difference between the rate it assigns to the transaction and the rate that it pays and receives for purchases and sales of currencies when buying or selling foreign currency for its own account. The methodology used by BNY to determine DR conversion rates is available to registered Owners upon request or can be accessed here. In those instances where BNY's Custodian executes DR foreign currency transactions, the Custodian has no obligation to obtain the most favorable exchange rate or that the method by which the rate will be determined will be the most favorable rate, and BNY makes no representation that the rate is a favorable rate and will not be liable for any direct or indirect losses associated with the rate. In certain instances, BNY may receive dividends and other distributions from an issuer of securities underlying DRs in U.S. dollars rather than in a foreign currency. In such cases, BNY will not engage in or be responsible for any foreign currency transactions and it makes no representation that the rate obtained by an issuer is a favorable rate and it will not be liable for any direct or indirect losses associated with the rate.
