No, all it means is that each ADR is now worth a different number of underlying shares--fewer each. It doesn't affect the underlying number. For example, if there are 1 million underlying, and 1 million ADR's, each ADR is worth 1 share. If the ADR's split 4:1, each ADR is now worth 1/4 of an underlying share. But the ADR price is less due to the split, and more affordable.

Here is the deal, see if you can figure out whether there is going to be any material effect. I don't think there is any as all it means is after the split 4 ADSs will represent 1 equity share instead of the pre-split 1:1 ratio. ================== SATYAM INFOWAY LIMITED ANNOUNCES 4-FOR-1 ADS SPLIT Madras, India, December 20, 1999 - Satyam Infoway Limited (Nasdaq: SIFY), based in Madras (Chennai), India, announced today that its Board of Directors approved a 4-for-1 split of the company's American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") which are listed on the Nasdaq National Market.
