SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing
and Registration; (Eagle Financial Corp., Common Stock, $0.01 Par
Value) File No. 1-9901
September 21, 1994.
Eagle Financial Corp. (``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 from listing and registration on the American Stock Exchange,
Inc. (``Amex'').
The reasons alleged in the application for withdrawing this
security from listing and registration include the following:
According to the Company, its Board of Directors (the ``Board'')
unanimously approved resolutions on August 23, 1994, to withdraw the
Company's Common Stock from listing on the Amex and, instead, list such
Common Stock on the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotation/National Market System (``NASDAQ/NMS''). According
to the Company, the decision of the Board followed a lengthy study of
the matter, and was based upon the belief that listing of the Common
Stock on NASDAQ/NMS will be more beneficial to its stockholders than
the present listing on the Amex because:
(1) The Company believes that the NASDAQ/NMS system of competing
market-makers will result in increased visibility and sponsorship for
the Common Stock than is presently the case with the single specialist
assigned to the stock on the Amex;
(2) The Company believes that the NASDAQ/NMS system will offer the
Company's stockholders more liquidity than is presently available on
the Amex and less volatility in quoted prices per share when trading
volume is slight;
(3) The Company believes that the NASDAQ/NMS system will offer the
opportunity for the Company to secure its own group of market-makers
and, in doing so, expand the capital base available for trading in its
Common Stock; and
(4) The Company believes that firms making a market in the
Company's Common Stock on the NASDAQ/NMS system will be included to
issue research reports concerning the Company, thereby increasing the
number of firms providing institutional research and advisory reports.
Any interested person may, on or before October 13, 1994 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.
