Tyco International Ltd. to Cancel Secondary Listing of Common Shares in London
PEMBROKE, Nov. 12 -- Tyco International Ltd. (NYSE:
TYC; BSX: TYC; LSE: TYI) today announced that it intends to delist Tyco common
shares from the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and from trading on
the London Stock Exchange plc, effective from close of business on December
12, 2003.
This action is being taken due to the low trading volume of Tyco shares on
the London Stock Exchange and the costs associated with the maintenance of the
London listing. Tyco common shares will continue to be listed on the New York
Stock Exchange and on the Bermuda Stock Exchange.
Until the cancellation of the listing on close of business on December 12,
2003, Capita Registrars (formerly IRG plc) will continue to act as Tyco's
transfer agent in the United Kingdom. After that date, as Tyco will no longer
retain a branch register or transfer agent in the UK, all communications
relating to share registration, dividends and similar matters should be sent
to Tyco's global transfer agent, Mellon Investor Services, LLC, at Mellon
Investor Services, LLC, 85 Challenger Road, Ridgefield Park, NJ 07660, U.S.A.
(telephone: 001-201-329-8810). A letter is being sent to shareholders with
registered addresses in the UK today informing them of this change.
