Press Release |
Swisscom initiates delisting from the New York Stock Exchange
Today, Swisscom AG (virt-x: SCMN, NYSE: SCM) provided written notice to the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE) of its intent to delist its ordinary shares and American Depositary Shares (ADSs),
which are traded as American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), from the NYSE (see also Swisscom press
release of 6 July 2007). Swisscom AG intends also to file a Form 15F with the SEC to deregister and
terminate its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. The delisting is planned to be
effective from 31 August 2007.
Swisscom AGs board decided to delist from the NYSE and deregister under the Exchange Act in
accordance with the new SEC rules with a view to reducing both the costs and the complexity of
complying with two sets of regulations that are substantively quite similar. Trading volume for
Swisscom securities is low in the US compared with the virt-x in London.
The current ADR programme will be converted from a Level 3 programme to a Level 1 programme with
over-the-counter (OTC) trading. Accordingly, the Company has not arranged for the listing of its
ADSs or ordinary shares on another national securities exchange or for the quotation of its ADSs or
ordinary shares in a quotation medium in the United States. The Companys ordinary
shares will continue to be listed at SWX Swiss Exchange in Zurich and therefore to trade on
the virt-x in London. Current holders of ADRs will be able to retain their shares or exchange them
for ordinary Swisscom AG shares in CHF. ADR holders will receive applicable notices from the Bank
of New York.
The Company will continue to publish its Annual Report, financials and other documents and
communications in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 12g3-2(b) on its Investor Relations website at
www.swisscom.com/ir.
The timetable for delisting and deregistration is available on the Internet at
