News update: Asyst CEO resigns. The NASDAQ Stock Market is to delist Asyst Technologies on April 30, 2009, due to its recent move for Chapter 11 insolvency in the U.S. Asyst said that it would not appeal the decision. The fab automation specialist has not been profitable for many years and was already at threat of being delisted due to its stock trading below US$1 dollar.
