Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application of Holly Corporation To Withdraw its Common Stock, $.01 Par Value, From Listing and Registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC

Holly Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Issuer”), has filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), pursuant to section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder, to withdraw its Common Stock, $.01 par value (“Security”), from listing and registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC (“Amex” or “Exchange”).

The Board of Directors of the Issuer unanimously approved a resolution on March 25, 2004, to withdraw the Issuer's Security from listing on the Amex and to list the Security on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The Board states that it determined that it is in the best interest of the Issuer to delist the Security from the Amex and to list the Security on the NYSE to avoid direct and indirect costs and the division of the market resulting from dual listing on the Amex and NYSE.

The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in the State of Delaware, 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 Security 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.

Any interested person may, on or before May 14, 2004, submit by letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the Amex and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the protection of investors. All comment letters should refer to File No. 1-03876. The Commission, based on the information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission determines to order a hearing on the matter.
