AMTD IDEA Group to Adjust ADS-to-Share Ratio on NYSE and SGX
AMTD IDEA Group announced a change to its American depositary share ratio, affecting holders on both the NYSE and Singapore Exchange.
AMTD IDEA Group, listed on both the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker AMTD and the Singapore Exchange under HKB, announced Tuesday it will alter the ratio of its American depositary shares relative to its underlying Class A ordinary shares, a structural adjustment that typically affects how investors hold and trade the stock on U.S. markets.

Such adjustments are a routine mechanism used by foreign private issuers listed in the United States to manage share price ranges, liquidity, or administrative costs associated with depositary receipt programs.
