SIMO charges an ADR fee, and always has. Is this a new fee? Is it normal for an ADR to charge both an ADR fee AND a fee with each dividend? SIMO didn't charge a dividend fee last year. ------- And on a different note, I don't see what's so hard about ADRs that they necessitate the normal ADR fees. SIMO's is 2 cents per year. With 33 million shares outstanding that's $6.6 million in fees, just to list an ADR? What's so complicated about an ADR that it needs that charge while normal stocks get no such charge?
