Financial Holdings Company Announces ADS Ratio Change
Move Designed to Boost Trading Price
Dunxin Financial Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong-based company operating in real estate management, investment, and digital security technology, has announced a planned change in the ratio of its American Depositary Shares (ADSs). The aim is to boost the ADS trading price.
Effective December 4, 2024 (US Eastern Time), the ratio will be adjusted so that one ADS will represent 60,000 Class A ordinary shares, rather than the current ratio of 480 shares per ADS. For existing ADS holders, this change mirrors the effect of a 1:125 reverse stock split.
This change is intended to bring a proportional increase in ADS prices. However, the company cannot guarantee that the new price will precisely reflect the propbability. ADSs will continue to trade on the OTC under the symbol “DXFFY.”
There will be no changes to Dunxin’s Class A common stock as a result of this ADS ratio adjustment. Holders of record on the effective date will be required to surrender their existing ADSs for cancellation and exchange. Full details regarding the specifics of this process will be communicated by the depositary bank.
Fractional Shares
Rather than issuing new ADSs with fractions, the partial claims to these new ADSs will be aggregated and sold by the custodian bank. The net proceeds from these sales, following deduction of fees, taxes, and other costs, will be distributed to respective ADS holders by the custodian bank.

## Financial Holdings Sees Future in ADS Ratio Change

**Anchor:** Welcome back to “Market Movers.” Today, we’re joined by financial analyst Jane Davis to discuss a recent announcement from a major financial holdings company regarding a change to its American DepositaryShare, or ADS, ratio. Jane, thanks for joining us.
**Jane Davis:** Thank you for having me.
**Anchor:** This company believes this change will boost trading activity. Can you explain what an ADS ratio is and how this change might impact investors?
**Jane Davis:** Absolutely. An ADS represents ownership in a foreign company traded on American exchanges. The ADS ratio essentially determines how many shares of the underlying foreign stock each ADS represents. This company’s decision to adjust its ADS ratio suggests they believe it will make their shares more accessible and potentially more attractive to a broader range of US investors.
**Anchor:** Does this typically translate to an immediate boost in trading volume?
**Jane Davis:** It can. A lower ADS ratio often leads to a more affordable share price, which can entice new investors.
However, it’s important to remember that market reaction can be complex. The overall performance of the company’s underlying business, investor sentiment, and broader market conditions also play a significant role.
**Anchor:** It sounds like investors should certainly take note of this change. What advice would you give them as they evaluate the situation?
**Jane Davis:** I would encourage investors to carefully consider the company’s underlying fundamentals and long-term prospects.
Don’t just focus on the immediate impact of the ADS ratio change. Conduct thorough research, analyze the company’s financial statements, and understand the reasons behind this decision. As always, consulting with a qualified financial advisor is essential for making informed investment choices.
