NVDR Trade
Definition
Non-Voting Depository Receipt (NVDR) is
a new trading instrument initiated by the Stock Exchange of
Thailand to allow foreign investors to invest beyond the foreign
ownership limit. The NVDRs are themselves listed securities
in the SET.
Foreign investors holding NVDRs will be
eligible to receive financial benefits; i.e., dividends, right
issues and warrants, in the same manner as they invest in
an ordinary share. However, they have
no rights to vote at company shareholders' meetings.
Trading Guidelines
NVDR's
price quotes will be referred from the local board of the
underlying stocks. The price is exactly the same as that of
the corresponding counter on the local board. In other words,
NVDR orders will be executed in the local board.
Foreign
investors who wish to retain voting rights are advised to
hold 'foreign" shares only.
