紐約和東京，2024年12月18日 /PRNewswire/ - Pixie Dust Technologies, Inc.（"Pixie Dust"）特此通知，紐約梅隆銀行（"BNY"）於2024年12月13日發佈的公告，關於終止Pixie Dust美國存託憑證（"ADR"）計劃。請參見BNY的鏈接公司行動通知，其中詳細說明了自2025年3月14日起生效的終止，以及希望將其ADR兌換爲基礎Pixie Dust普通股的ADR持有人的適用程序。
In addition to the information provided by BNY, Pixie Dust notes the following requirement under Japanese law:
除了BNY提供的信息外，Pixie Dust還指出根據日本法律的以下要求：
Japanese law requires that any Foreign Investor (as defined under the Japanese Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act (FEFTA)) wishing to receive delivery of Shares upon surrender of American Depositary Shares must obtain pre-clearance from the applicable Japanese governmental authority prior to accepting that delivery. The applicable governmental authority may take up to 30 days to respond to applications for that pre-clearance. Accordingly, ADS holders that are Foreign Investors wishing to surrender American Depositary Shares for the purpose of withdrawal of deposited Shares should apply or advise the persons to whom they intend to direct delivery of Shares to apply for pre-clearance at least 30 days in advance. The Depositary will not accept surrender of American Depositary Shares for the purpose of withdrawal of Shares until it receives assurances satisfactory to it that any required pre-clearance for delivery of the Shares to be withdrawn to a Foreign Investor has been obtained.
日本法律規定，任何希望在交回美國存托股份後接收股票的外國投資者（根據日本《外匯及外國貿易法》（FEFTA）的定義）必須在接受該交付之前獲得相關日本政府機關的預先批准。相關政府機關可能需要最多30天才能對預先批准的申請作出回應。因此，作爲外國投資者的ADS持有人希望爲了提取已存放股票而交回美國存托股份的，應提前至少30天申請或提醒他們希望指向的股票交付的相關人員申請預先批准。在獲得滿意的保險以確認向外國投資者交付需提取的股票所需的任何預先批准已獲得之前，存託機構將不接受美國存托股份的交回以提取股票的申請。
