(“Nasdaq National Market”), effective at the opening of business on Wednesday, January 17, 2001.

The Company's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the Security from listing on the Amex and registration under section 12(b) of the Act,^[3] and shall have no effect upon the approval of its application for quotation of the Security on the Nasdaq National Market or its obligation to be registered under section 12(g) of the Act.^[4]

Any interested person may, on or before January 25, 2001, submit by letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549-0609, facts bearing upon whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the Amex and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the protection of investors.
