Pivotal Systems provides the best-in-class gas flow monitoring and control technology platform for the global semiconductor industry. The company’s proprietary hardware and software utilizes advanced machine learning to enable preventative diagnostic capability resulting in an order of magnitude increase in fab productivity and capital efficiency for existing and future technology nodes.
The platform includes Pivotal’s Gas Flow Controller (GFC) product lines that offer high-accuracy, real-time monitoring and control of the most critical parameters difficult to control in wafer processing today: Gas Flow and Chamber Condition.
Pivotal Systems Corporation is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).
What is a CDI?
The ASX uses an electronic system called CHESS for the clearance and settlement of trades on the ASX. Pivotal is incorporated in the state of Delaware in the US, which does not recognise the CHESS system of holding securities.
Accordingly, to enable companies such as Pivotal to have their securities cleared and settled electronically through CHESS, depositary instruments called CDIs are issued. CDIs represent the beneficial interest in the underlying shares in a foreign company such as Pivotal and are traded in a manner similar to shares of Australian companies listed on the ASX.
Each CDI of Pivotal represents an interest in one share of common stock in Pivotal (Share) (a 1:1 ratio). The Shares underlying the CDIs rank equally with the Shares currently on issue in the Company. The main difference between holding CDIs and Shares is that CDI holders hold the beneficial ownership in the Shares instead of legal title.
How to Purchase Pivotal Systems Shares
Like all other ASX-listed companies, Pivotal’s CDIs are traded electronically and can only be bought and sold through an ASX participant broker. The ASX maintains a registry of ASX participant brokers which can be located here.
A number of brokers outside of Australia offer their domestic clients access to certain international markets, such as the ASX. Non-Australian residents should consult their financial adviser for more information on international share trading options.
