Stora Enso delists its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) from the New York Stock Exchange
ADRs to trade over-the-counter (OTC) in the United States
Stora Enso has delisted its ADRs from the New York Stock Exchange. The last day
of trading was 28 December 2007. Starting 31 December 2007, Stora Enso will
maintain a sponsored Level I ADR facility and its ADRs will be traded on the
International OTCQX - a premium market tier that distinguishes leading
international companies from other securities traded over-the-counter.
Stora Enso intends to file Form 15F with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) in January 2008 to deregister and terminate its reporting obligations
under the Exchange Act. By law, upon filing Form 15F Stora Enso's reporting
obligations under the Exchange Act are immediately suspended and the
deregistration becomes effective 90 days later unless Form 15F is withdrawn by
Stora Enso before then or the SEC delays the deregistration process. Stora Enso
reserves the right to postpone the filing of the Form 15F or withdraw Form 15F
for any reason prior to its effectiveness.
