Creative Technology Ltd Intends to File Form 15F to Terminate SEC Registration and Reporting Obligation
SINGAPORE - February 12, 2009 -- Creative Technology Ltd. (“Creative” or the “Company”) announces that it intends to file a Form 15F with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to voluntarily terminate the registration of its Ordinary Shares under Section 12(g) as well as its reporting obligations under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Pursuant to Rule 12h-6 under the Exchange Act, the SEC permits a foreign private issuer to terminate the registration of a class of securities under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act if it meets certain requirements. Upon the filing of the Form 15F, the Company's reporting obligations under the Exchange Act will be suspended immediately and will terminate no more than 90 days after the filing, barring any objections from the SEC.
The Company decided to terminate the registration to reduce the administrative workload and costs associated with meeting specific SEC reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, which are in addition to the Company's reporting obligations under Singapore law. The Company's Ordinary Shares will continue to be listed and trade on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”). As a SGX-ST listed reporting issuer, the Company will continue to file its continuing disclosure documents with the applicable Singapore securities regulators. About Creative # # #
