Vedanta's Plan to Eliminate ADRs - THE Trade

Vedanta Promoters Buy MORE Increasing Eventiness, But There Are Headwinds

Vedanta To Eliminate Its ADRs - Creates VERY Interesting Possibilities

Quiddity Advisors

Event-Driven

<ul>
<li>Vedanta Limited decided to delist its ADRs last autumn. They were delisted but the process of unwinding them comes down to selling the unconverted ADR underlying shares. </li>
<li>Citi is conducting an offering to sell those underlying shares. This will aid in setting the unwind price for existing but unsettled listed ADR derivatives (yay).</li>
<li>The offering itself is just over 1% of shares out, 4% of float, and 12% of foreign portfolio investor holdings. Not huge, but the trend vs peers gives one pause.</li>
