TEMECULA, CA, Dec 19, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- CHNL | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Channell Commercial Corporation (NASDAQ: CHNL), a designer and manufacturer of telecommunications equipment supplied to operators of communications networks worldwide and water harvesting solutions distributed in markets throughout Australia and North America, today announced that it intends to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to deregister its common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company has notified the Nasdaq of its intent to deregister. The Form 25 application to deregister will be effective 10 calendar days after it is filed, at which time the duty to file Securities Exchange Act reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission will be suspended. In connection with the deregistration, the Company's common stock will cease to be traded on the Nasdaq. Accordingly, the Company expects its shares to cease trading on the Nasdaq Global Market on or about January 8, 2009. Thereafter, the Company believes that its common stock will be eligible to trade on the Pink Sheets. For more information about the Pink Sheets, see its website, www.pinksheets.com.

The decision to deregister and delist was driven principally by the ongoing efforts of the Company to reduce direct costs while improving overall efficiencies through eliminating administrative burdens. The Company concluded that the costs and burdens outweigh the benefits of maintaining a Securities and Exchange Commission registration and a Nasdaq Global Market listing. Those costs and burdens rose substantially in recent years, in part as a result of the ongoing implementation of provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and are projected to continue to rise. Moreover, the company remains deficient on both the market value of publically held shares (MVPS) and minimum bid price requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, which the Company concluded were highly unlikely to be cured by the date necessary to avoid eventual delisting. Consequently, the Company has elected to voluntarily deregister and delist in order to accelerate the anticipated cost savings and related benefits.
