Depositary Management Corporation
Depositary Management Corporation helps non-U.S. issuers establish and maximize the potential of depositary receipt programmes from all perspectives and ensure that their choice of depositary banks is based on both dollars and sense. Few companies contemplating or maintaining depositary receipt programs understand to what extent they should be maximizing the financial benefits of their depositary receipt programs. If your company is like the majority of issuers, you may not be receiving all of the additional financial and/or ancillary incentives and value-added services to which you are entitled in exchange for allowing a bank to serve as your depositary. The laundry list of contributions and incentives your depositary bank provides in exchange for its appointment may be enticing, but without an understanding of the multitude of ways the depositary will benefit from your company's program, it is impossible to evaluate the fairness of such contributions and incentives. This need for an insider's knowledge of the depositary receipt industry is why companies around the globe team with Depositary Management Corporation. With over two decades of experience advising on an extensive range of depositary receipt matters, Depositary Management is the ally of choice for issuers looking to maximize the benefits of their depositary receipt programs. Depositary Management Corporation will go beyond the monetary amounts presented to you by a depositary bank and delve into your current and/or proposed depositary agreements (engagement letters, deposit agreements, etc.) to pinpoint additional opportunities for your company to derive benefits from its program. To ensure that you are receiving the highest possible financial contributions from your depositary bank, Depositary Management Corporation will assist and/or advise on contract negotiations and renegotiations, evaluate the service levels and services provided or proposed to be provided and, where necessary, manage and oversee the process of requesting proposals (RFPs) from competing depositary banks. By teaming with Depositary Management Corporation, your company will learn how to shift the playing field to its advantage, leaving you poised to aggressively and knowledgeably negotiate and/or renegotiate your agreements to seize every available opportunity for improvement.
