SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application of TurboChef Technologies Inc. to Withdraw its Common Stock, $.01 par value, from Listing and Registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC
File No. 1-32334
June 22, 2005
On June 13, 2005, TurboChef Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Issuer"), filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission"), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act")1 and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder,2 to withdraw its common stock, $.01 par value ("Security"), from listing and registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC ("Amex").
On March 7, 2005, the Board of Directors ("Board") of the Issuer unanimously approved a proposal to withdraw the Security from listing on Amex and to list the Security on the Nasdaq National Market ("Nasdaq"). The Issuer stated that the reason for such action is that the Issuer believes that with respect to its own securities and stockholders, the trading system and involvement of market makers on Nasdaq is preferable to the Amex system of specialists, and a Nasdaq listing may be more attractive and provide the Issuer more exposure to potential investors.
The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in effect in the state of Delaware, in which it is incorporated, and provided written notice of withdrawal to Amex.
The Issuer's application relates solely to withdrawal of the Security from listing on Amex and from registration under Section 12(b) of the Act,3 and shall not affect its obligation to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Act.4
Any interested person may, on or before July 18, 2005, comment on the facts bearing upon whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of Amex, and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the protection of investors.
