SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing
and Registration; (Benchmark Electronics, Inc., Common Stock, $.10 Par
Value) File No. 1-10560
August 4, 1997.
Benchmark Electronics, 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'' or ``Exchange'').
The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Security
from listing and registration include the following:
The Company's Security is listed on the New York Stock Exchange
(``NYSE'') effective May 13, 1997. The Company's Board of Directors
resolved on April 4, 1997 to withdraw the Company's Security from
listing on Amex to avoid the direct and indirect cost and the division
of the market resulting from dual listing.
The Company has complied with Rule 18 of the American Stock
Exchange (``Amex'') by filing with such Exchange a certified copy of
preambles and resolutions adopted by the Company's Board of Directors
(``Directors'') authorizing the withdrawal of its common stock from
listing on the Amex and by setting forth in detail to such Exchange the
reasons for such proposed withdrawal, and the facts in support thereof.
By letter dated April 30, 1997, the Amex stated that the Exchange
would not interpose an objection to the Company's application to
withdraw its Security from listing.
Any interested person may, on or before August 25, 1997, submit by
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 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.
