Level I ADR Program (American Depository Receipt)

Grifols launched a Level I American Depository Receipt (ADR) Program in the US in May 2009. An ADR is a negotiable US certificate representing ownership of shares in a non-US corporation. Grifols' Level I ADRs are quoted and traded in US dollars in OTC markets.

Two ADRs represent one common Class A share of Grifols and has the same voting rights. The dividends are equivalent to the Grifols' Class A shares and are paid to investors in US dollars. Dividends are converted into US dollars by the depository bank at the prevailing rate.
