ADR Program

American Depositary Receipt (ADR) program
On January 18, 2013, HUGO BOSS initiated a Level 1 American Depositary Receipt (ADR) program. ADRs are a U.S. dollar-denominated form of equity ownership in a non-U.S. company. They represent that company’s shares and carry the rights attached to them. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (DBTCA) acts as the depositary and transfer agent for the HUGO BOSS ADR program. Five ADRs equal one HUGO BOSS ordinary share. The securities are traded on the over-the-counter market in the United States.

  • How are ADR dividends paid and taxed?

The dividend from HUGO BOSS is subject to a withholding tax in the amount of 26.375 % of the gross amount. In accordance with the provisions of the agreement to avoid double taxation between the U.S. and Germany, authorized ADR holders may request 11.375% back, thereby reducing the withholding tax imposed on them to 15%. According to the aforementioned agreement, the ADR holders must be located in the U.S. in order to be eligible to receive a reimbursement. We advise you to contact your broker or tax adviser to receive more information and, where applicable, valid U.S. tax forms.
