E5-410. Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application of Regal-Beloit Corporation To Withdraw Its Common Stock, $.01 Par Value, From Listing and Registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC File No. 1-07283

January 28, 2005.

On January 19, 2005, Regal-Beloit Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation (“Issuer”), filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) ^[1] and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder,^[2] to withdraw its common stock, $.01 par value (“Security”), from listing and registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC (“Amex”).

On December 15, 2004, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Issuer approved a resolution, pursuant to an action by unanimous written consent, to withdraw the Issuer's Security from listing on the Amex and to list the Security on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (“NYSE”). The Board stated that it determined to withdraw the Security from the Amex and list the Security on the NYSE for the following reasons: (i) Due to recent acquisitions, the Issuer has grown significantly worldwide, achieving recognition as the industry leader for its products; and (ii) it is desirable and for the benefit of the Issuer to list its Security on the NYSE, which is an internationally recognized stock exchange. The Security commenced trading on the NYSE on January 21, 2005.

The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the requirements of Amex Rule l8 by complying with all applicable laws in Wisconsin, in which it is incorporated, and with the Amex's rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a security from listing and registration.

The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the Security from listing on the Amex, and shall not affect its continued listing on the NYSE or its obligation to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Act.^[3]
