Thx again Colin - I found more on "Y", and a good site for searching definitions. American Depositary Receipt (ADR) A receipt that is issued by a U.S. depositary bank which represents shares of a foreign corporation held by the bank. Because ADRs are quoted in U.S. dollars and trade just like any other stock, they make it simple for investors to diversify their holdings internationally. Depository Bank A bank organized in the U.S. which provides all the stock transfer and agency services in connection with a depository receipt program. This function includes arranging for a custodian to accept deposits of ordinary shares, issuing the negotiable receipts which back up the shares, maintaining the register of holders to reflect all transfers and exchanges, and distributing dividends in U.S. dollars. ---- So I'd say the shares of the company is traded via deposits, thus the US available shares is a part of the companys total OS.
