What are CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs)?
CHESS Depositary Interests, or CDIs, are a way of allowing securities of foreign companies to be traded on the Australian Stock Exchange. CDIs afford shareholders all the same direct economic benefits as ordinary shares, like the right to dividends and the right to participate in rights offers. Where we refer to shares or shareholders on this website, we also mean CDIs and holders of CDIs, unless specified otherwise.
