AMTD IDEA Group Announces ADS Ratio Change
AMTD IDEA Group will change its ADS ratio from one ADS per six Class A ordinary shares to one ADS per 360 shares, effective on or about October 19, 2026 — the same effect as a one-for-60 reverse ADS split.
The move follows a July 8 NYSE notice that the company fell out of compliance with continued listing standards after its ADSs averaged below $1.00 over 30 consecutive trading days; the company says the ratio change should help regain compliance.
BNY Mellon will handle the exchange under a new CUSIP, and no fractional new ADSs will be issued. The company also disclosed it has repurchased 4,417,036 ADSs under existing buyback programs as of October 7, 2026.
