Orange completed its voluntary delisting from the NYSE and filed a certification of deregistration with the SEC. Orange maintains a level 1 ADR program

Orange announces today that Orange’s voluntary delisting of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) representing its ordinary shares from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) has become effective. The Company has filed a Form 15F with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to terminate its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), in respect of the ADSs and the ordinary shares. Deregistration is expected to become effective 90 days after the filing of the Form 15F.

The Form 15F and deregistration also relate to the following debt securities issued by Orange: the 9.00% notes due 1 March 2031, 5.375% notes due 13 January 2042 and 5.50% notes due 6 February 2044.

Information for ADS Holders
Orange maintains a level 1 American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) program, which will enable investors to retain their ADRs and facilitate trading on the U.S. Over-The-Counter (“OTC”) market, under the symbol “ORANY.”

Following the delisting and deregistration, Orange will continue to publish its quarterly financial information and half-year and annual financial statements prepared in French and in English in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as well as other information for investors on its website (www.orange.com) pursuant to applicable rules regarding financial communication and as required by Rule 12g3-2(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act.
