ADR ratio changed in 2026 - this is the main trap. Cslly was 2 ADSs : 1 ordinary share (1 ADR = 0.5 share) until an effective 2:1 ADR split on 2 March 2026; it is now 4 ADRs : 1 ordinary share, i.e. 1 ADR = 0.25 ordinary shares.

Share counts move on a filing cadence, prices move continuously — so this figure is exact only as of the two dates above, and we publish both rather than a single undated number. This company is quoted here through a depositary receipt (CSLLY), where one receipt represents 0.25 ordinary shares; the price is put on an ordinary-share basis before it meets the share count.
