(TSX:ATY, NASDAQ:ATYT) announced today that David Orton, President and CEO of ATI, has advised the company that he intends to enter into a new trading plan to sell a portion of his holdings of shares of the company. The trading plan is identical in concept to the one Mr. Orton announced almost a year ago, in November 2003. Under the terms of the trading plan, which will comply with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Rule 10b5-1, Mr. Orton anticipates selling up to 40% of his common shares and options, subject to market conditions. At the time the original plan was announced, ATI was only the second Canadian company to announce trading by its senior executives, and the first to announce a trading plan. "This plan provides transparency to the investment community and separates executives from their trades and market conditions, consistent with good corporate governance," said Terry Nickerson, ATI's CFO. The SEC's Rule 10b5-1 permits senior executives to adopt written trading plans at a time when they are not in possession of material non-public information and to sell shares according to that plan with pre-determined volume and price parameters. Sales under the plan will occur in a systematic manner with the goal of minimal market impact by spreading such sales over a more extended period of time than would be available using traditional trading window periods. ...2 4 of 5 Mr. Orton has advised that he intends to implement the trading plan in order to continue to meet his personal objectives for estate planning and tax purposes.
