The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that brokerage firm Banca IMI Securities Corp. (BISC) agreed to pay over $35 million to settle charges that it violated federal securities laws when it requested issuance of and received American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) without possessing the underlying foreign shares.

ADRs are US Securities that represent shares of a foreign company, and for all issued ADRs there must be a corresponding number of foreign shares held in custody at a depositary bank.

BISC is a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of Italian bank Intesa Sanpaolo SpA.
