hi Guys,
I have PTR (Petro China) shares in TD Ameritrade. They turned inactive, when I did a bit of digging it turns out they are delisted and are in the process of converting to H shares (Hongkong?) .
TDAmeritrade told me that they will not do anything with those PTR ADR and I would need to go to another broker and see if they can assist in the conversion process to H shares. Can anyone let me know which broker assists in the conversion of PTR (not PTRCY) to H Shares and then help me in liquidating it.
Ok. Reach out to Fidelity or Schwab. They are usually good with ADR conversions to ordinary shares in foreign exchanges. They will be able to help.
Good Luck !
Buenas tardes yo estoy en el mismo caso ,en mi lugar es bankinter .
BNY MELLON es el depositario y es al que hay que acudir para hacer dicha conversion .
Lo que desconozco es el procedimiento y si posteriormente hay algun broker que gestione la venta.
Pediria porfavor si alguno dispone de mejor informacion que me la haga saber ,gracias.

Good afternoon, I am in the same case, in my place it is bankinter.
BNY MELLON is the depositary and is the one to go to to make said conversion.
What I don’t know is the procedure and if later there is a broker that manages the sale.
Please, if anyone has better information, let me know, thank you.

Ok. Contact Schwab or Fidelity who may be able to do the conversion. They will explain the process and the fees for the conversion. Good Luck !
Does anyone know what the conversion rate for ADR shares of Petro China into H shares is?
Thanks,
Mike
Yes. The conversion rate is:
1 ADR share = 100 H Shares
