SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing
and Registration; (P.H. Glatfelter Company, Common Stock, $.01 Par
Value) File No. 1-3560
December 3, 1998.
P.H. Glatfelter Company (``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'' or ``Exchange'').
The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Security
from listing and registration include the following:
The Company's Security has been listed for trading on the Amex and,
pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form 8-A which became effective
on October 23, 1998, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE'').
Trading in the Company's Security on the NYSE commenced at the opening
of business on November 12, 1998, and concurrently therewith such
Security was suspended from trading on the Amex.
The Company has complied with Rule 18 of the Amex by filing with
the Exchange a certified copy of the resolutions adopted by the
Company's Board of Directors authorizing the withdrawal of its Security
from listing and registration on the Amex and by setting forth in
detail to the Exchange the reasons for such proposed withdrawal, and
the facts in support thereof. In making the decision to withdraw its
Security from listing on the Amex, the Company has concluded that after
the recent acquisition of S&H Papier-Holding GmbH, the specialty paper
division of the Schoeller & Hoesch Group, in Germany, a listing on
[[Page 67952]]
the NYSE will enhance its international visibility and will foster its
reputation as an international producer of fine printing and writing
papers, as well as tobacco and other specialty papers.
The Exchange has informed the Company that it has no objection to
the withdrawal of the Company's Security from listing and registration
on the Amex.
This application relates solely to the withdrawal from listing of
the Company's Security from the Exchange and shall have no effect upon
the continued listing of the Security on the NYSE.
By reason of Section 12(b) of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder, the Company shall continue to be obligated to file reports
under Section 13 of the Act with the Commission and the NYSE.
Any interested person may, on or before December 24, 1998, 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
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.
