| What is an American Depositary Share (ADS)? |
|
| An American Depositary Share, or ADS, is a negotiable U.S. security representing ownership of publicly traded shares in a non-U.S. corporation. ADSs are quoted and traded in U.S. dollars in the U.S. securities market. Dividends and other cash entitlements, when paid, are paid to investors in U.S. dollars. ADSs were specifically designed to facilitate the purchase, holding and sale of non-U.S. securities by U.S. investors |
|
| What is an American Depositary Receipt (ADR)? |
|
| An ADR is a physical certificate evidencing the number of ADSs you own. The term is often used to refer to the ADSs themselves. |

|
The Santander share is currently quoted on the 4 Spanish stock markets through the Continuous Market and in London, Milan, New York, Lisbon, Buenos Aires and Mexico.
Santander is quoted on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "STD" in ADS format. JP Morgan, as the issuer, issues the Santander ADS. Each Santander ADS represents the ownership of one ordinary Santander share. |

| What dividends will I be paid if I buy shares? |
|
The future dividend of your shares cannot be quantified and will basically depend on 2 factors: net attributable profit divided by the number of shares for profit per share, and the policy for profit distribution via dividends.
Dividends are paid in U.S. dollars.
|
|
| When am I paid dividends? |
|
- From August 1st: first dividend based on the results of the current year
- From November 1st: second dividend based on the results of the current year.
- From February 1st: third dividend based on the results of the year just closed.
- From 1 May: fourth dividend, or extra dividend
The approval of the total dividend to be paid for a given year is the responsibility of the Annual General Meeting that is usually held in the first half of each year. |
