1. What is an American Depositary Receipt (ADR)?
ADRs are a negotiable US dollar denominated certificate representing ownership of shares in a non-US company. Technicolor's ADRs represent Technicolor's ordinary shares 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 have the right to vote on shareholders resolutions, at the Company's discretion (as a matter of fact, it has not been made possible for the last past years), and to receive dividends in US dollars. 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, and to provide a corporate finance vehicle for non-U.S. companies.

2. What is an ADR ratio? How are ADRs related to Technicolor's ordinary shares?
The ADR ratio is the relation between the number of ADRs and the number of ordinary shares. Every Technicolor ADR represents one Technicolor ordinary share, i.e. the ratio is 1:27.

3. 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. One of an ADRs' top advantages is the facilitated diversification into foreign securities. ADRs also allow easy comparison to securities of similar companies as well as access to price and trading information.

4. What types of companies issue ADRs?
ADR issuers are typically large multinational corporations. Any non-U.S. company seeking to raise capital in the U.S. or increase their base of U.S. investor can benefit from ADRs. (Citi comment: ADRs are issued by Citi as depositary bank)
