"Each American Depositary Share ("ADS") represents eight (8) Class A ordinary shares."
An American Depositary Share (ADS) is a U.S.-listed certificate issued by a U.S. bank that represents one or more ordinary shares of a foreign company, letting U.S. investors buy and sell that foreign stock in dollars on U.S. markets. It matters because ADSs make access to overseas companies easier and more convenient—like a local ticket that stands in for a foreign product—while affecting liquidity, dividend payments, currency conversion and the regulatory disclosures investors rely on.
