MetaOptics provides guidance on the ADS conversion and issuance process.
Singapore, November 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MetaOptics Ltd (Catalist: 9MT; OTCQX: MOTLY) (hereinafter referred to as "MetaOptics" or the "Company," together with its subsidiaries collectively referred to as the "Group") is a leading semiconductor optics company. The Company refers to its press release issued on September 25, 2026, regarding its establishment of a sponsored Level 1 ADR program (the "ADR Program"), pursuant to which American Depositary Shares (ADSs) will trade on OTCQX.
The company stated that the ADR program aims to expand the company’s reach to international investors and provide U.S. investors with a more convenient channel to access and trade the company’s securities, while offering U.S. investors a platform to directly participate in the company’s growth story. The company believes that enhancing accessibility for U.S. investors will be particularly relevant as it advances to the next stage of commercialization and development.
In addition, the ADR program will enable Singapore investors to trade the company’s shares around the clock through OTCQX and the company’s local listing on the Singapore Exchange. The company aims to provide shareholders with step-by-step guidance on how to convert their existing shares, currently traded on the Catalist of Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited, into ADSs tradable on the OTCQX platform. For frequently asked questions about the ADR program, please visit: https://metaoptics.sg/investor-relations/resources/investor-faqs.
To complete the conversion of existing shares and the issuance of ADSs, shareholders must complete the following procedures:
- Open a U.S. Securities Account
Shareholders must first open a U.S. securities account with a broker that can receive ADSs through the Depository Trust Company (DTC) system. Retail investors can contact brokers such as Interactive Brokers (IBKR) and E*TRADE. - Notify Singapore broker
After opening a U.S. securities account, shareholders should instruct their broker in Singapore to act on their behalf in submitting the ADS issuance application. - Complete the ADS offering application documents
Singaporean brokers must complete and sign the ADS issuance application form on behalf of shareholders, a document commonly known as the Letter of Transmittal. - Provide your U.S. Securities and Exchange account information.
The shareholder's U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission account information must be included in the transfer letter to complete delivery after the ADS issuance. - Transfer base shares
Upon completion of the documentation, the Singapore broker will arrange for the transfer of shareholders' existing shares from CDP to the custodial account designated by J.P. Morgan (the depositary bank for this ADR program). - ADS Issuance and Delivery
Once the existing shares are successfully deposited into J.P. Morgan’s custodial account, J.P. Morgan will issue the corresponding ADSs and deliver them via the DTC system to the U.S. SEC account of the shareholder specified in the letter of transmittal.
