ADR FAQs
The following is for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon for the purpose of making investment decisions concerning any securities of Lundin Energy. This information does not contain all information that may be important to you. For more complete information, we highly recommend that you read the entire deposit agreement and the form of American Depositary Receipt, which contains the American Depositary Shares terms, and seek your own investment, legal and tax advice.
What is an American Depositary Receipt (ADR)?
ADRs are a negotiable US dollar denominated certificate representing ownership of shares in a non-US company. Lundin Energy’s ADRs represent Lundin Energy’s ordinary share deposited with the depositary bank, to underlie such certificates and carry the rights attached to them as detailed in the Depositary Agreement. Holders of ADRs receive dividends in US dollars if and when declared by the company and have the right to vote at shareholder meetings, if duly registered to do so. The term ADR and ADS are often used interchangeably. ADRs were specifically designed to facilitate the purchase, holding and sale of non-U.S. securities by US investors.
What is an ADR ratio?
This is the relation between the number of ADRs and the number of ordinary shares. Every one Lundin Energy ADR represents one Lundin Energy ordinary share.
What are the benefits of ADRs to US investors?
U.S. investors may prefer to purchase ADRs rather than ordinary shares in the issuer’s home market because ADRs trade, clear and settle according to U.S. market conventions. ADRs also allow easy comparison to securities of similar companies as well as access to price and trading information.
Why did you establish an ADR programme?
Lundin Energy established the ADR program to make it easier for US investors to buy the Lundin Energy share.

Who is Lundin Energy’s depositary for ADRs?
Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas. The depositary bank plays a key role in issuance as well as cancellation of ADRs. It also maintains the ADR holder register, distributes the dividends in US dollars (if applicable) and facilitates the exercise by the ADRs holders of their voting rights (if applicable).
What currency are Lundin Energy ADRs denominated in?

Are you issuing extra shares of Lundin Energy AB? Does the ADR programme increase Lundin Energy’s share capital?

What is the difference between a Registered ADR holder and a Beneficial ADR holder?
A registered holder is one whose name appears on the books of the depositary bank. The registered holder is considered the owner of record. A beneficial holder is one whose holdings are registered in a name other than their own, such as in the name of a broker, bank or nominee.
