SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to Withdraw From Listing
and Registration; (Gildan Activewear Inc./Les Vetements de Sports
Gildan Inc., Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, Without Par Value) File
No. 1-14830
October 18, 1999.
Gildan Activewear Inc./Les Vetements de Sports Gildan Inc.
(``Company'') has filed an application with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule 12d2-2(d)
promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the security specified above
(``Security'') from listing and registration on the American Stock
Exchange LLC (``Amex'' or ``Exchange'').\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Notice of this application was previously issued by the
Commission as Securities Exchange Act Release No. 41903 on September
22, 1999. Such notice, however, failed to appear in the Federal
Register, as required, and so is being reissued.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Security has been listed for trading on the Amex and, pursuant
to a Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Commission which
became effective on August 30, 1999, on the New York Stock Exchange,
Inc. (``NYSE''). Trading in the Security on the NYSE commenced at the
opening of business on September 1, 1999.
The Company has complied with the rules of the Amex by filing with
the Exchange a certified copy of the preambles and resolutions adopted
by the Company's Board of Directors authorizing the withdrawal of its
Security from listing on the Exchange and by setting forth in detail to
the Amex the reasons for such proposed withdrawal and the facts in
support thereof. The Amex has in turn informed the Company that it will
not interpose any objection to the withdrawal of the Company's Security
from listing on the Exchange.
In making the decision to withdraw its Security from listing on the
Amex and to list it instead on the NYSE, the Company has represented
that its long-term interests will be best served by listing on the
NYSE, as it is both North America's largest stock exchange and also the
exchange on which the shares of the Company's primary competitors
trade.
The Company's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the
Security from listing on the Amex and shall have no effect upon the
continued listing of the Security on the NYSE. Moreover, by reason of
Section 12(b) of the Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder, the Company shall continue to obligated to file
reports with the Commission and the NYSE under Section 13 of the Act.
Any interested person may, on or before November 8, 1999, submit by
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450
Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon whether
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the
Exchange and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission
determines to order a hearing on the matter.
For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation,
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
