Investors in ADR companies may
now receive shareholder documents over the Internet.
What is e-consent?
E-consent reflects your request
to receive shareholder communications online for the companies you own.
What types of materials are available to investors over the Internet?
With e-consent, you get online delivery of annual reports, interim reports, prospectuses and proxy materials—most shareholder documents that you presently receive by mail. However, certain documents such as voting cards must still be sent in paper form.
What types of companies offer
e-consent?
All types of listed US companies
offer e-consent, and the number of those participating is growing rapidly.
In addition, leading ADR issuers from around the world are now offering
e-consent. This enhances the convenience of diversifying your portfolio
internationally.
What are the benefits to receiving
these materials online?
Benefits of e-consent include convenience
and timely receipt of important information. Instructions for accessing
online shareholder documents will be e-mailed to you on the company’s mail
date. Mail time will be eliminated.
What if I change my mind and decide
I prefer to get hard copy information?
Your consent is entirely revocable,
regardless of whether you are a beneficial owner or a registered holder.
