schin Posted December 8, 2024 Posted December 8, 2024 Does anyone have experience on how takeovers or mergers work on OTC or ADRs positions? For example, if Unicredit (UNCRY) takes over Commerzbank (CRZBF) using stock -- do US investors get UNCRY? Or whoever the CRZBF (acquiree) administrator generate a new OTC/ADR symbol? Or if BBVA (NYSE) merges with Sababell (BNDSF), how does the administrator in Sababell handle this in the US? I understand the fractional shares will be paid out, but will BNDSF owners get a new BBVA ADR system or will it translate to a BBVA shares on NYSE? If a shareholder has 1,000 shares of Banco Sabadell, BBVA would exchange them for 199 shares of BBVA (1,000 / 5.0196) and the remaining fractional share (0.219) would be paid in cash. The shareholder would also receive a cash payment of €57.77 (1,000 shares x €0.29 / 5.0196). I am interested in how mergers/takesover are handled in ADRs and unusual tax treatment by IRS.
