Sims Metal Management Limited to deregister from SEC in US
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Sydney, Australia and New York, 14 October 2014 (ASX:SGM) (OTC:SMSMY) -- Sims
Metal Management Limited (the Company) announced today that it intends to
deregister its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) under the U.S. Securities
Exchange Act (Exchange Act). This follows the delisting of the ADRs from the New
York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on 11 October 2013.
As the Company has now met the criteria for deregistration, the Company plans to
file a Form 15F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to
terminate the registration of the Company's ADRs under the Exchange Act. Upon
the filing of the Form 15F, the Company's obligation to file certain reports
with the SEC, including Forms 20-F and 6-K, will immediately be suspended. The
Company expects that the deregistration of its ADRs will become effective, and
the Company's Exchange Act reporting obligations will be terminated, 90 days
after the filing of the Form 15F with the SEC.
The Company will continue to provide a sponsored ADR programme in conjunction
with Bank of New York Mellon in the U.S. on the 'over-the-counter' (OTC) market
to enable investors to trade ADRs. The Company's ordinary shares are entirely
unaffected by the proposed deregistration and will continue to be listed on the
Australian Securities Exchange.
