DIALOG SEMICONDUCTOR Plc.: Dialog Semiconductor to terminate ADR program and
de-list from NASDAQ
KIRCHHEIM/TECK, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 1, 2006--Dialog
Semiconductor Plc. / Delisting
Dialog Semiconductor PLC (NASDAQ: DLGS, FWB: DLG), a leading provider of
power management semiconductor solutions, announces today that the Company
intends to terminate its ADR program (American Depository Receipt) with the Bank
of New York and seek a de-listing from NASDAQ. It is currently anticipated that
the effective date of the termination of the ADR program and de-listing from
Nasdaq will be December 28, 2006. As soon as is reasonably practicable after the
termination date, any ordinary shares not previously withdrawn from the ADR
program will be sold in the market by the ADR Depositary in accordance with the
Deposit Agreement governing the ADR program and the net proceeds of any such
sales will be distributed to the holders of those ordinary shares. As soon
thereafter as it is eligible to do so, the Company intends to suspend or
terminate its registration under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Any such suspension or termination will also suspend or terminate the
Company's periodic reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. The Company
intends that its ordinary shares be traded solely on the German stock exchange
(Prime Standard) for the near to medium term.
Commenting on the announcement Jalal Bagherli, Dialog CEO, said: 'The
increasing regulatory burden of NASDAQ both in terms of third party legal and
accounting costs and more importantly management resources have not for some
time been matched by a corresponding benefit from the NASDAQ listing where ADR
trading is light. The primary market for our shares has always been Frankfurt.
This decision will permit us to focus our communication efforts on this key
market.'
