1.An ADR (American Depositary Receipt) is a receipt which represents an ownership interest in the underlying securities of a non-U.S. company. When registered withthe U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a negotiable security in the U.S., an ADR may, like the securities of U.S. companies, be traded, settled, and held. There are two types of ADRs. In a Sponsored ADR, the company selects a depositary bank that handles payments for the issuance and distribution of ADRs.In an Unsponsored ADR, ADRs are issued based on investor demand without involvement by the company.

2.Sponsored ADRs are ADRs issued by aspecifieddepositary bank under adeposit agreement between the depositary bank andthe company issuing the underlying shares. The deposit agreementsets forth the rights and obligations of thecompany, its investors/holders and the depositary bank with respect to the depositary receipt. Sponsored ADR programs are classified as one ofthree types, Level-1, 2 and 3, depending on the disclosure requirementsof theSEC, which in turn depend on whether the program is unlisted/listed, or an initial/secondary public offering. A Level-1 ADR is an unlisted program, a Level-2 ADR is a listed program (e.g. on the New York Stock Exchange), and a Level-3 ADR is a listed program in connection with thecapital raising through theissuance of new shares.

3.Up to now, Daito Trust Construction ADRs have been an Unsponsored ADR in the U.S. market with no involvement by Daito Trust Construction. With the establishment of the Sponsored ADR program all the Unsponsored ADR will be converted to “the Sponsored ADR.”
