Orange's Strategic Move: Voluntary NYSE Delisting Announced
Orange's Voluntary Delisting from the NYSE: A New Chapter
In a significant move towards restructuring its operations, Orange has successfully completed its voluntary delisting of American Depositary Shares (ADSs) from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). This decision, effective immediately, was spurred by a strategic vision aimed at enhancing shareholder value while simplifying the company's reporting obligations. With the filing of Form 15F with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Orange opts for greater focus and control over its corporate governance and financial reporting.
Understanding the Delisting and Its Implications
The delisting from NYSE is set to pave the way for Orange to streamline its administrative processes. The deregistration of its ADSs and ordinary shares is expected to finalize within 90 days of the Form 15F filing. Such a transition allows Orange to manage its resources more efficiently and concentrate on core business operations without the burden of extensive compliance measures mandated by the Exchange Act.
Debt Securities Involved in the Deregistration Process
As part of the delisting process, several debt securities issued by Orange are also affected. Notably, the 9.00% notes maturing on March 1, 2031, the 5.375% notes due January 13, 2042, and the 5.50% notes set to mature on February 6, 2044, are included in the registration termination. This move is essential for reshaping Orange’s capital management strategies moving forward.
Maintaining the ADR Program: Ensuring Investor Accessibility
Despite the delisting, Orange remains committed to its level 1 American Depositary Receipt (ADR) program, which allows investors to maintain and trade their ADRs on the U.S. Over-The-Counter (OTC) market under the symbol "ORANY." This initiative ensures that U.S. shareholders still have access to investments in Orange while providing a platform for easier trading and liquidity.
Continued Commitment to Transparency in Financial Reporting
Even after the transition from the NYSE, Orange will maintain its dedication to transparency and diligence regarding financial communication. The company plans to continue publishing its quarterly financial information, as well as half-year and annual reports, both in French and English. These reports will adhere to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and be available on Orange's website, fostering an environment of trust and openness with investors.
Staying Focused on Euronext Paris
Even though the company has delisted from the NYSE, Orange's shares will continue to be actively traded on Euronext Paris, where a significant portion of its international and domestic investors conduct transactions. This dual-market strategy seeks to bolster Orange's trading volume while keeping a strong connection to its primary investors in Europe.
