5.  Through issuance of Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) on the existing shares.  In practice, most Kazakhstan companies list their securities on foreign stock exchanges through issuance of GDRs due to the absence of a clearing system and centralised depositary in Kazakhstan (for instance, JSC KazMunaiGas EP, JSC Kazkommertsbank, JSC Halyk Bank, JSC Alliance Bank, JSC BTA Bank IPOs).  This option is available for joint stock companies only. In order to apply this option, it is necessary to convert the limited liability partnership to the joint stock company form (see next slide).  Through issuance of new shares / GDRs on its shares by foreign controlling entity (for instance, Kazakhmys, Zhaikmunai, ENRC IPOs).  This option is available for joint stock companies, as well as for limited liability partnerships.  Through issuance of GDR on new shares / Direct listing of existing shares.  These are legally possible options, but they were not tested in practice. Various local and foreign law issues might arise.
