Mahindra Satyam Announces that US Trading of ADRs Will Move from NYSE and anticipates the ADRs to be traded in OTC Market
|
| |
| Hyderabad, September 24, 2010: Satyam Computer Services Ltd. (Mahindra Satyam) today announced that it has notified the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) of its intent to delist its American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). |
|
| In accordance with the rules and regulations of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Company intends to file a Form 25 (Notification of Removal from Listing under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) with the SEC on or about October 4, 2010. The Company anticipates that the delisting of its ADRs from the NYSE will be effective on or about October 14, 2010. |
|
| The Company anticipates that after the delisting the ADRs will continue to trade in the over-the-counter (OTC) market. In addition, throughout this period and in the future the equity shares underlying the ADRs will continue to be listed on the principal Indian stock exchanges - the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange. |
|
| The Company is currently late in filing its annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2009. The Company was notified by the NYSE of its noncompliance. Pursuant to the NYSE’s rules, the Company was given until October 15, 2010, to make this filing, as previously announced, which represents the maximum time period available. The Company does not now anticipate that it will be able to file restated US GAAP financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2009 on or prior to the October 15, 2010 compliance date in accordance with the NYSE’s rules. Mahindra Satyam is, however, engaged in the effort to restate the US GAAP financial statements given the pending completion of Indian GAAP financial statements. |
|
| Commenting on the planned move to OTC trading, Mr. Vineet Nayyar, Chairman, Mahindra Satyam, said, “Due to our late SEC filings, which are among the unfortunate results of the misdeeds of former management, we are delisting from the NYSE. Keeping in view the paramount interest of the investors, our objective is to enable the ADRs to be quoted without interruption in the U.S. domestic Over-The-Counter market so that the investors can continue to trade the ADRs throughout the transition period and beyond. We remain committed to our US investors and we are as keen as ever to serve the needs of US customers.” |
