Tokyo, Japan July 24,
2013 - samco-ucp ltd. (Located at 36 Waraya-cho, Takeda, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto - Second
Section of the TSE: 6387) announced today that SAMCO's stock listing was
transferred from TSE JASDAQ (Standard) to the Second Section of the Tokyo Stock
Exchange market (TSE). SAMCO is the first transfer of its listing since the
consolidation of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) and the Osaka Securities
Exchange (OSE) on July 16, 2013.
SAMCO is a global company
specializing in the manufacturing and sales of thin-film deposition and etching
systems for semiconductors and electronic components. SAMCO is actively engaged
in the growing field of Green Electronics, including next-generation power
devices, LEDs and electronic components. SAMCO's management conducts business
to sell competitive, high value-added products. Since the founding of the
company in 1979, it has continually maintained profitability for the past
thirty-three years. In May 30, 2001, SAMCO went public on the Japan Securities
Dealers Association over-the-counter (present TSE JASDAQ - standard) market.
However, SAMCO determined it was best to switch to the main market of the TSE to
improve its performance in developing new fields and expanding into global
markets, and obtained approval from the TSE to switch to the Second Section of
the TSE.
SAMCO aims at being
listed in the First Section of the TSE in the near future, and is committed to
return more profits to its shareholders through improved corporate value.
