ADR Program
Sponsored level II ADR program
Sanofi stock is traded under a sponsored level II ADR program on Nasdaq, thereby offering a higher visibility in the U.S. market, more active trading and greater liquidity. Level II ADR programs must comply with the full registration and reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for foreign private issuers. This entails, among other things, the filing of a Form 20-F registration statement to register the listing of ADSs, including financial statements and a reconciliation of those statements to U.S. GAAP, and the filing of an annual report on Form 20-F for each year following the initial registration.
How to purchase ADRs
To purchase Sanofi ADSs, shareholders may contact a licensed stockbroker or may buy directly from our ADR depositary bank, JPMorgan Chase, through a Direct Purchase Plan with EQ Shareowner Services. The Plan provides first-time purchasers and existing shareholders of Sanofi ADSs with a convenient and economical way to invest in Sanofi. Participants can enjoy the same benefits as an investor who holds ordinary shares; they remain the registered owner of the shares and have full control over their investment decisions.
ADR Dividends
Dividend reinvestment plan
Dividends are paid by check, or they may be directly deposited into a bank account of your choice. Please let your brokerage or EQ Shareowner Services know how you would like to receive your dividend.
As a Direct Purchase Plan participant, you may elect to reinvest all or a portion of your cash dividends in additional shares. To do so, you will have to check the applicable box on the enrolment form.
Income Tax Information
ADR dividends are paid in U.S. dollars and are generally taxable, just like dividends on U.S. shares. In addition, the Republic of France, Sanofi’s home country, may withhold taxes. Depending on individual circumstances, foreign taxes withheld might be applied as a credit against U.S. taxes, or tax reclaim opportunities may be offered. For specific information, consult your tax adviser.
You may also contact Goal Group Recoveries Inc. at adroit@goalgroup.com or on +1 (212) 248-9130.
To obtain further tax information, please read our current annual report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
