[ESMA 70-1861941480-56 MiFIR data reporting Q&A, Q&A 2.7] Field 5 should be populated with the LEI of the issuer of the financial instrument represented by the depository receipt in line with MAR Article 3 (1) (21)[1].  

[1] For example, in case of a depository receipt on share A field 5 should be populated with the LEI of the issuer of share A and not of the depository receipt itself.
