Océ announces its intention to voluntarily terminate its listings in Germany and Switzerland
Venlo, January 23, 2008, Océ N.V. ("Océ"), a leading international company in printing and document management organized under the laws of the Netherlands, today announced its intention to voluntarily terminate the listings of its ordinary shares for quotation on the Stock Exchanges in Germany (Frankfurt and Düsseldorf) and Switzerland (SWX Swiss Exchange) and filed a request for delisting with the relevant Stock Exchanges.
The Océ shares are thinly traded in Germany and Switzerland and represent less than 0.29% and 0.05% respectively of all trading in Océ over the past twelve months. Maintaining multiple listings and multijurisdictional filings result in burdens and costs which outweigh the benefits. Océ’s ordinary shares will continue to be listed for trading in Amsterdam (NYSE Euronext). Océ will continue to make available all of its annual and quarterly information (as well as any other information that is required under Dutch law or under the NYSE Euronext rules) to its investors through its website. Océ will also continue to host all of its regular investor relations activities, analyst meetings and road shows.
