Deutsche Bank Appointed as Depositary Bank for the Sponsored Level I American Depositary Receipt Program of CYBERDYNE Inc.

Deutsche Bank today announced its appointment as sponsored depositary bank for the sponsored Level I American Depositary Receipt (ADR) program of CYBERDYNE Inc. (CYBERDYNE)

CYBERDYNE (OTC:CYBQY), founded in 2004 by Dr. Yoshiyuki Sankai in Japan, produces the robot suit Hybrid Assistive Limb® (“HAL®”), for the benefit of humankind in the fields of medicine, living support and labor support. HAL® is the only autonomously-controlled wearable robot in the world with Cybernic Voluntary Control technology. The technology integrates a human being’s intention to move with actual mechanical motion by utilizing bio electric signals that originate from the human brain and then register on the surface of the skin. The brain is then able to detect the successful movement in response to its signals, thus completing a biofeedback loop that is crucial to the functional improvement of the limb. On June 22, 2015, CYBERDYNE applied to the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for approval of robot suit HAL® as a medical device and plans to subsequently expand its business in the United States.

Shrinath Bolloju, Managing Director, Head of Institutional Cash & Securities Services, Asia Pacific at Deutsche Bank, said: “We are looking forward to working with CYBERDYNE to develop its ADR program and broaden its investor base."

Deutsche Bank’s Depositary Receipts team is part of the Issuer Services business within the Bank’s Institutional Cash & Securities Services unit.

In addition to specializing in administering cross-border equity structures such as American and global depositary receipts and global registered shares, Issuer Services provides corporates, financial institutions, hedge funds and supranational agencies around the world with trustee, agency, escrow and related services. The Bank offers a very broad range of services for diverse products, from complex securitizations and project finance to syndicated loans, debt exchanges and restructurings.
