Business Wire
ViryaNet Ltd. (NasdaqCM: VRYA), a leading provider of solutions
that automate business processes for mobile workforce management
and field service delivery, announced today that it has submitted
written notice to The NASDAQ Stock Market, voluntarily requesting
that its Ordinary Shares be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market
at the opening of business on Monday, June 11, 2007. Memy
Ish-Shalom, the Company�s president and chief executive officer,
stated, �The Company�s Board of Directors carefully considered the
Company�s past experience with NASDAQ standards along with the
advantages and disadvantages of continued listing on The NASDAQ
Capital Market, including the significant costs and resources
required to maintain listing compliance and other regulatory
burden. These regulatory costs are expected to increase
substantially in the near future as a result of the SEC�s recent
final determination for the compliance of Section 404
(Sarbanes-Oxley) on smaller public companies. The costs, resources,
and management attention being expended by the Company to maintain
its NASDAQ listing were determined to be significantly greater than
the benefits received by the Company and its shareholders from
continued listing. We believe that the delisting will reduce the
Company�s administrative expenses related to maintaining NASDAQ
listing compliance, will allow the Company to reinvest the savings
in its products, and will enable management to focus more of its
time and resources on operational matters directly impacting
shareholder value.� The Company�s Ordinary Shares may become
eligible for trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB)
if a market maker makes application to quote the Ordinary Shares
and such application is cleared by the NASD. The Company expects,
but cannot be certain, that trading on the OTCBB would commence on
June 11, 2007, or soon thereafter. In the event the Company�s
Ordinary Shares are not traded on the OTCBB, the Company�s Ordinary
Shares may be quoted in the �Pink Sheets� (www.pinksheets.com), an
electronic quotation service for over-the-counter securities.
However, there can be no assurance that any market maker or broker
will continue to make a market in the Company�s Ordinary Shares.
Mr. Ish-Shalom continued, �This decision does not reflect any
change in the Company�s intention to continue to provide investors
with information regarding significant business and financial
developments. As well, ViryaNet remains steadfast in its goals of
operational excellence, customer commitment, and market
leadership.� About ViryaNet ViryaNet is a provider of software
