AMERICAN STOCK EXCHANGE LLC
DETERMINATION AND NOTIFICATION OF REMOVAL FROM LISTING
AND/OR REGISTRATION UNDER SECTION 12(b) OF THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
Attachment to Form 25
July 25, 2006
The American Stock Exchange LLC (the “Exchange”), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 12d2-2(b) promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), has determined to strike from listing and registration on the Exchange, the following:
Regalito Copper Corporation
Common Stock – No Par Value
Commission File Number – 001-32175
1.
The standards of the Exchange provide, among other things, that consideration may be given to the removal of a security when the financial condition and/or operating results of the issuer appear to be unsatisfactory; or when any other event shall occur or any condition shall exist which makes further dealings on the Exchange unwarranted.
In applying these standards, the Exchange gives consideration to delisting the securities of a company that is not in compliance with Section 1003(b)(i)(B) of the Amex Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) which states that the Exchange will normally consider suspending dealings in, or removing from the list, a security of a company that has less than 300 public shareholders.
2.
Regalito Copper Corporation (the “Company”) does not qualify for continued listing because on July 6, 2006, the Company publicly disclosed that PPC Canada Enterprises, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Pan Pacific Copper Co., Ltd., completed the compulsory acquisition of 865,986 shares of the Company’s common stock not already owned pursuant to a take over bid price of U.S. $6.00 per share. As a consequence the Company disclosed to that it had less than 300 public shareholders.
3.
In reviewing the eligibility of the Company’s common stock for continued listing, the Exchange has complied with its standards and procedures as follows:
(a)
By letter dated July 17, 2006, the Company was advised of its status in relation to the standards. Specifically, the Company was not in compliance with Section 1003(b)(i)(B) of the Company Guide. The Exchange’s letter also advised the Company that the Exchange determined that, in accordance with Section 1009(a) of the Company Guide, it was necessary and appropriate for the protection of investors to truncate the continued listing evaluation and follow-up procedures as set forth in Section 1009 of the Company Guide and initiate immediate delisting proceedings. In addition, the Exchange’s July 17, 2006 letter notified that, in accordance with Sections 1203 and 1009(d) of the Company Guide, the Company could appeal Staff’s determination no later than July 24, 2006 by requesting an oral or written hearing before a Listing Qualifications Panel.
(b)
The Company did not appeal the Exchange’s determination.
Accordingly, the Exchange, having complied with all of its procedures, is authorized to file this application in accordance with Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules promulgated thereunder.
4.
In the opinion of the Exchange, all of the material facts relating to the reasons for this application are contained herein.
5.
The Exchange official whose signature is set forth below is duly authorized to file this application.
6.
In accordance with the provisions of Rule 12d2-2, the Exchange has issued public notice of its final determination to remove the Company’s securities from listing and/or registration by issuing a press release and posting notice on www.amex.com. Further, a copy of this application has been forwarded to Mr. Eiji Kato, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
