DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 11, 1997--ATMI Inc.
(NASDAQ:ATMI; was temporarily "ATMID") tomorrow reverts back to its
standard Nasdaq trading symbol "ATMI."
Gene Banucci, ATMI CEO said, "On Oct. 10, 1997, Nasdaq appended
a 'D' to our symbol. ATMI traded as ATMID for 20 days as required
by Nasdaq to highlight the change in our corporate structure --
Advanced Technology Materials Inc. had completed its acquisitions of
ADCS and Lawrence Semiconductor by creating ATMI Inc., a new public
holding company. Now we are back to our 'ATMI' symbol."
Dan Sharkey, CFO, said, "Advanced Technology Materials Inc. is
no longer the public entity. ATMI Inc. replaced Advanced Technology
Materials Inc. as the public company to allow us tax-free treatment
of our two acquisitions. Our subsidiaries EcoSys (San Jose,
Calif.); ADCS (Austin, Texas); and Epitronics (Phoenix, Ariz.) are
now consolidated under ATMI Inc. Newspaper listings for ATMI now
appear earlier in the 'A' section for Nasdaq stocks, among the
acronym-named companies."
ATMI is a leading provider of advanced semiconductor materials
and environmental equipment. It is also developing next-generation
semiconductor devices based on its new materials technologies.
