Ticker is EADSY in the U.S. Traded OTC/Pink sheets. Shares are listed in the Netherlands, so your dividends are subject to 15% withholding tax per the tax treaty between the U.S. and Netherlands.

Actually the shares themselves are listed in Germany, France and Spain, not the Netherlands. The ticker is AIR in all of the locations.
The company is headquartered in the Netherlands so the tax issue is as Otter stated, 15% withholding.

This is how funky Europe can be.

Ameritrade is off, then. It lists EADSY as registered in The Netherlands.

The company is registered there, the shares are listed elsewhere. :p
This is most likely due to the huge amount of mergers etc related to the company history. And the Netherlands is a pretty business friendly location so it just makes sense. For example, if it would be under the French or German tax law the dividends would be a pain for most people residing outside of those respective countries. UK would be good for the dividend tax but with all the brexit mess Airbus have already moved a lot of manufacturing out of there)

Yup. Got sloppy with my terminology. Am no stranger to those French/German withholding taxes as a holder of SNY and SIEGY.
