The Board of Directors ("Board") of the Issuer approved a resolution on November 14, 2001 to withdraw its Securities from listing on the Exchange. The Board cited low trading volume and negligible benefit derived from the Issuer's listing as reasons for delisting its Securities from the PCX. The Issuer will continue to list its Securities on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE").
The Issuer has stated in its application that it has met the requirements of PCX Rule 5.4(b) governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a security from listing and registration on the Exchange. The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the Securities from listing on the PCX and shall have no affect upon the Securities' continued listing on the NYSE and registration under Section 12(b) of the Act.3
