Spirent is going to quit NYSE listing because of Sarbanes-Oxley

Published by claudia October 6th, 2006 in News, SOX, Europe Tags: , , , , , , .

SPIRENT, the telecoms testing group, yesterday blamed the cost of meeting tough new corporate governance rules in America for its plan to drop its New York listing.

The company, which has its primary listing in London, said that the Sarbanes-Oxley rules, introduced after the Enron collapse to regulate US-listed businesses better, were costing it too much.
