In its announcement today, Hitachi said it would continue its ADR program and “anticipates that its ADSs will continue to be traded on the U.S. over-the-counter market.”
The company says that trading volumes do not justify the costs of maintaining a listing on the NYSE. Hitachi will also de-list from exchanges in Fukuoka and Sapporo, Japan.
Hitachi also said it would continue to prepare its consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP reporting guidelines.
