MADGE NETWORKS N.V. ANNOUNCES TRANSFER
TO THE NASDAQ SMALLCAP MARKET
Amsterdam, The Netherlands (June 10, 2002) — Madge Networks N.V. (NASDAQ: MADGF), a global supplier of advanced networking product solutions, today announced that The Nasdaq Stock Market has approved the Company’s application to transfer its common stock to The Nasdaq SmallCap Market. The Company’s securities will commence trading on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market effective June 11, 2002 and will continue to trade under the symbol MADGF.
The Company requested the transfer to The Nasdaq SmallCap market because it did not meet two of the requirements of the Nasdaq National Market, to have a $3.00 per share closing bid price and to have a minimum market value of publicly held shares of $15,000,000, both for a minimum number of consecutive trading days. Madge currently meets The SmallCap Market’s continued listing requirements for foreign private issuers. The requirement for a minimum bid price of $1.00 is not applicable to securities of foreign private issuers.
“We are very pleased to confirm that we are able to maintain a Nasdaq listing and to continue to provide our investors access to all the benefits of The Nasdaq Stock Market,” said Martin Malina, CEO Madge Networks. “With the uncertainty surrounding our continued listing resolved and with our new wireless product set announced we can now focus fully on the task at hand, the development of a profitable growth future for Madge.”
