SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing
and Registration; (The Alpine Group, Inc., Common Stock, $0.10 Par
Value) File No. 1-9078
October 31, 1996.
The Alpine Group, 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 above specified
security (``Security'') from listing and registration on the American
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'').
The reasons alleged in the application for withdrawing the Security
from listing and registration include the following:
According to the Company, the Board of Directors (the ``Board'')
adopted a resolution as of September 27, 1996 to withdraw the Security
from listing on the Amex and, instead, to list such Security on the New
York Stock Exchange (``NYSE''). The decision of the Board on this
matter followed an appropriate exploration of means to enhance
stockholder value, and was based upon the belief that the listing of
the Security on the NYSE will be more beneficial to its shareholders
than continued listing on the Amex.
Any interested person may, on or before November 22, 1996, submit
by letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549, facts bearing upon whether
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the
exchanges 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.
