MINNEAPOLIS–(EMWNews)–ADC (NASDAQ: ADCT) (www.adc.com) today

announced that the company’s board of

directors has approved a fiscal year-end change from Oct. 31 to Sept.

30. The change is scheduled for the company’s

2009 fiscal year beginning Nov. 1, 2008 and ending Sept. 30, 2009, and

is being implemented to better align ADC’s

financial reporting periods with those of the company’s

telecommunications industry peers.

Financial results for ADC’s 2008 fiscal year

will be reported as planned on Form 10-K after the company reports

earnings for the fourth quarter ending Oct. 31, 2008.

“Our decision to change ADC’s

fiscal year-end is driven primarily by our desire to report the company’s

earnings during the same periods as other companies in the

telecommunications industry,” said James G.

Mathews, ADC’s Chief Financial Officer. “The

move to a September 30 year-end is designed to make it easier for the

investment community to compare ADC’s

operational and financial results to those of our industry peers.”

ADC will continue to report its quarterly financial results on the

current fiscal calendar through the third quarter of 2009, which ends on

July 31, 2009. At that point, ADC will transition to the Sept. 30

year-end, which means that the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 will be

shortened to approximately two months. The Annual Report for 2009 will

serve as the transition report for financial reporting purposes and will

be filed within 60 days of the new Sept. 30 year-end.

ADC’s 2009 fiscal year Annual Report on Form

10-K will include audited statements of operations for the 11 months

ended Sept. 30, 2009 and the 12 months ended Oct. 31, 2008 and 2007,

respectively. In order to provide financial statement comparability for

all of our stakeholders, we also plan to include an unaudited statement

of operations for the 11 months ended September 30, 2008.
