October 20, 2008 - Concordia Bus
Nordic AB (publ) (the “Company”), Concordia Bus Finland OY AB, Concordia Bus
Nordic AB and Concordia Bus Nordic Holding AB (together with the Company, the “Concordia
Companies”),
announced today that they intend to voluntarily file deregistration forms with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection
with terminating their respective reporting obligations under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).


 


The
Concordia Companies are filing Form 15F’s with the SEC on or about the
date hereof.  Upon filing the Form 15F’s,
their respective reporting obligations under the Exchange Act are immediately
suspended, meaning they will no longer submit reports to the SEC.  The deregistration will be effective 90 days
after the filing, unless the Form 15F’s are earlier withdrawn by the
Concordia Companies.


 


The
Company expects to continue publishing its annual report and consolidated
financial accounts and other documents and communications in accordance with
Exchange Act Rule 12g3-2(b) on its website
http://www.concordiabus.com.


 


The
Concordia Companies decided to deregister under the Exchange Act to reduce both
the costs and complexity of complying with the periodic reporting obligations
of the Exchange Act in addition to those of their own jurisdictions.
