For those holders who are not registered because their shares are held through a "Street name" (nominee account), your nominee will receive company documents from The Bank of New York Mellon to distribute to ADR holders. You need to make arrangements with your nominee if you wish to receive such documents and to be able to exercise your vote through the depositary bank at general meetings.

  • Call The Bank of New York Mellon toll free number +1-888-BNY-ADRS / +1-888-269-2377 to request an enrolment form.
  • Complete the form providing full registration name, address and social security number of the new participant.
  • The completed enrolment form should be sent along with a written request indicating the number of ADRs which should be transferred to the new participant. All participants in the current plan account should sign the instructions and their signatures should be guaranteed by a bank, broker, or financial institution that is a member of the Signature Guarantee Medallion program.

The exchange ratio between BASF ADRs to ordinary shares is 1:1, i.e. one BASF ADR represents one BASF ordinary share.
