Notice Regarding Effective Voluntary Delisting of American Depositary Receipts from New York Stock Exchange
On February 24, 2023, Canon Inc. (the “Company”) filed Form 25 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for voluntary delisting from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). As the effective date of delisting was March 6, 2023, the Company informs as follows.
| 1. | Date of Delisting |
March 6, 2023
| 2. | Stock Exchanges on which the Company will Maintain Listings |
The Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Nagoya Stock Exchange, the Fukuoka Stock Exchange, and the Sapporo Stock Exchange
| 3. | Future Plans |
The Company, even after delisting of its ADRs from the NYSE, intends to maintain its American Depositary Receipt Program in the U.S. and therefore anticipates that its ADRs will continue to trade in the U.S. on the over-the-counter market.
In the future, the Company plans to file an application for the termination of registration of its ADRs with the SEC. In the case that all requirements are met, the Company’s reporting obligation under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which includes the filing of the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F, will terminate. That said, the Company will work to ensure appropriate disclosure to shareholders and investors, including those overseas, by posting on the Company’s website its financial statements and other information in English, as required under Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act.
