[File No. 1-06314]
Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application of Perini Corporation to
Withdraw its Common Stock, $1.00 Par Value, and Associated A Junior
Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock Purchase Rights From Listing
and Registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC
June 4, 2004.
On June 1, 2004, Perini Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation
(``Issuer''), filed an application with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of
[[Page 32633]]
1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder,\2\ to withdraw its
Common Stock, $1.00 par value, and Associated Series A Junior
Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock Purchase Rights
(``Securities''), from listing and registration on the American Stock
Exchange LLC (``Amex'' or ``Exchange'').

The Board of Directors (``Board'') of the Issuer unanimously
approved a resolution on March 10, 2004 to withdraw the Issuer's
Securities from listing on the Amex, and to list the Securities on the
New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE''). The Issuer states that the
trading of its Securities on the Amex ended at the close of trading on
March 31, 2004. The Securities began trading on the NYSE on April 1,
2004. The Board states the reason for delisting its Securities from the
Amex and listing on the NYSE is (1) to provide a market that the Issuer
believes can better absorb the increased public float resulting from
the Issuer's recent secondary offering of the Common Stock; and (2)
potentially increase the trading volume in the Common Stock.
The Issuer stated in its application that is has met the
requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in
the State of Massachusetts, in which it is incorporated, and with the
Amex's rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a security
from listing and registration.
The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the
Securities from listing on the Amex, and shall not affect its continued
listing on the NYSE or its obligation to be registered under Section
12(b) of the Act.\3\
