Konami has announced today that it has been voluntarily delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. This took effect on April 24. Konami stocks are still available through the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange.

Konami is also being deregistered from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The firm will be deregistered on July 12, which is 90 days after the company filed with the SEC.

"After the delisting of its ADSs from the NYSE, the Company maintains its American Depositary Receipt Program in the U.S., and therefore its ADSs continue to be traded in the U.S. on the over-the-counter market," reads the press release.

"While the Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act (including the obligation to file annual reports on Form 20-F) will be terminated, the Company will continue to disclose financial statements and other information, in English, on its website to ensure that its overseas shareholders and investors will continue to have appropriate information about the Company."

beginning of the end? or well.... middle of the end really since it's been going on a few weeks now.

Given Konami's scant releases since 2010 I'd say it's been going on for a few years now. They've been complaining about the poor returns from console games compared to their other business lines for quite awhile now.

Sorry about the double post, BTW. A mod can delete if s/he wants.

Sell Suikoden to someone who will use the IP before the end.

Quick guys, lets put together our allowances and buy the Metal Gear Franchise before EA does

What is going on with them lately?

Everyone is worried about Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid. I'm more worried about Contra.

I hope that whoever manages to buy the Silent Hill IP has talent, enough respect for the franchise and does not change it into first person just to follow trends.
