IRVINE, Calif. & BASEL, Switzerland -- Day Software Holding AG (SWX:DAYN), a leading provider of global content management software, today announced that it is establishing an American Depositary Receipt Program. The Program will enable the company to register an American Depositary Receipt (ADR) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

With this move, Day will be able to enhance communications with global technology shareholders, and provide an easier way for U.S. employees to participate in the company's employee stock option and stock purchase plan.

Day is working with The Bank of New York to establish the ADR. The Bank of New York is the world's largest depositary for American and global depositary receipts, allowing non-U.S. companies to offer dollar-denominated securities to investors worldwide. The Bank currently issues depositary receipts for over 1,180 American and global depositary receipt programs from issuers in over 60 countries, representing 64 percent of all sponsored programs worldwide.
