Stratus Services Group, Inc., 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 Boston Stock Exchange (“BSE”).
15 U.S.C. 78 l (d).
The Issuer stated in its application that it has complied with all applicable laws in effect in the State of Delaware, in which it is incorporated, and with the BSE's rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a security from listing and registration.
In making the decision to withdraw the Security from listing on the Exchange, the Board of Directors of the Issuer determined that the continuing costs of maintaining the Security's listing on the BSE outweighed the benefits of listing. The Issuer represents that the Security is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The Issuer's application relates solely to the Security's withdrawal from listing on the BSE and from registration under section 12(b) of the Act and shall not affect its obligation to be registered under section 12(g) of the Act. Any interested person may, on or before September 24, 2002, 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 BSE and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the protection of investors. 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.
15 U.S.C. 78 l (b).
15 U.S.C. 78 l (g).
For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
