US and Canadian residents can purchase Sony ADRs through a brokerdealer or through the Global Invest Direct Plan (the "GID Plan"). The GID Plan is sponsored and administered by Sony's Depositary Bank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The GID Plan registration is open to U.S. and Canadian residents only and is designed to provide existing owners of ADRs and new interested investors who would like to participate in the GID Plan a convenient way to invest and/or increase their investment in Sony ADRs. The plan allows you to reinvest your dividend. Sony has agreed to the establishment of the GID Plan by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., but does not, and should not be deemed to, sponsor or administer the IDI Plan. Sony assumes no obligation or liability for the operation of the GID Plan. Please refer to the Sony website Terms of Use (below) for more details regarding links to non-Sony sites.
