The Issuer's Board of Directors ("Board") approved resolutions on May 14, 2003 to withdraw the Issuer's Security from listing on the NYSE and approved the listing on the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX"). In making its decision to withdraw the Security from the Exchange, the Board determined that it was in the best interest of the Issuer to delist from the NYSE and list on the AMEX due to considerations of expense and the resulting benefits to the Issuer's shareholders.
The Issuer stated in its application that it has complied with the NYSE's rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a security from listing and registration. The Issuer's application relates solely to the Security's withdrawal from listing on the NYSE and from registration under section 12(b) of the Act3and shall not affect its obligation to be registered under section 12(g) of the Act.4
