ABOUT ADRs & OTCQX EXCHANGE

ADRs are commonly used to allow U.S. investors to buy securities issued by non-U.S. companies. An ADR is created when a broker purchases the company's shares on the company's home stock market and delivers those to the depositary's local custodian bank (ANZ Bank), which then instructs the depositary bank (Bank of New York) to issue Depositary Receipts. Depositary Receipts may trade freely, just like any other security, on the US Over-the-Counter (OTC) and other U.S. market exchanges. Each Pryme ADR (Ticker: POGLY) represents 10 shares of Pryme stock (Ticker: PYM) listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX).

Pryme has listed its ADRs on the OTCQX, which is a new market tier organized by Pink Sheets, LLC that sets apart a select group of issuers as worthy of consideration by U.S. investors. Qualified issuers use the efficient and robust OTCQX listing process to provide credibility and visibility of disclosure to investors. OTCQX is designed to meet the needs of small to medium sized, publicly-traded U.S. companies and non-U.S. companies listed on qualified international stock exchanges such as the ASX.

The Bank of New York serves as Pryme's Depositary Bank that is responsible for the issuance and cancellation of ADRs. They manage the ADR holders and provide a myriad of services and tools to support the issuers, investors and brokers.
