Investing.com -- Shares of French telecommunications giant Orange SA (EPA:ORAN ) (NYSE:ORAN ) fell on Tuesday after it said it plans to voluntarily delist its American Depositary Shares from the New York Stock Exchange and deregister with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 

At 4:18 am (0818 GMT), Orange was trading 1.4% lower at €10.63.
