SIMS METAL MANAGEMENT TO VOLUNTARILY DELIST ADRs FROM THE NYSE AND TRADE OVER
THE COUNTER
SYDNEY, Australia and NEW YORK, June 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - - Sims Metal
Management Limited (the Company) today announced that it intends to voluntarily
delist its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) from the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE). The delisting of the Company's ADRs is expected to become effective on
or about 11 October 2013.
Following the NYSE delisting, the Company's securities will not be listed on any
national securities exchange in the United States (U.S.). The Company, however,
expects to retain an ADR programme in the U.S. on the "over-the-counter" (OTC)
market, in order to enable investors to continue to trade the Company's ADRs.
Trading on the OTC market is expected to commence on or about the date the
Company's ADRs are delisted from the NYSE. The Company's ordinary shares are
entirely unaffected by this decision and will continue to be listed on the
Australian Securities Exchange.
The Company will eventually seek to deregister from the U.S. securities market.
When accomplished, deregistration will reduce administrative costs and the
complexity that is associated with a dual listing in both the U.S. and
Australia. Deregistration cannot occur until criteria relating to average daily
trading volume or the number of holders of the ADRs are met, not anticipated
until October 2014 at the earliest.
The Company remains committed to its U.S. business, its U.S. investor base, and
its high standards of corporate governance including comprehensive and
transparent financial reporting.
