SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (ARM Financial Group, Inc., Class A Convertible 
Common Stock, $.01 Par Value) File No. 1-12294

June 4, 1998.
    ARM Financial Group, Inc. (``Company'') 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) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified 
Security (``Security'') from listing and registration on the American 
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'' or ``Exchange'').
    The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    The Security has been listed for trading on the Amex and, pursuant 
to a Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed on April 24, 1998, on the 
New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE''). Trading in the Company's 
Security on the NYSE commenced at the opening of business on April 28, 
1998, and concurrently therewith such Security was suspended from 
trading on the Amex.
    The Company complied with Amex Rule 18 by filing with the Exchange 
a certified copy of a resolution adopted by the Company's Board of 
Directors authorizing the withdrawal of the Security from listing and 
registration on the Amex and by setting forth in detail to the Exchange 
the reasons and facts supporting the withdrawal.
    The Company's decision to withdraw its Security from listing and 
registration on the Amex was based on its belief that the securities of 
most of its competitors

trade on the NYSE and that listing its Security on such Exchange would 
enhance its competitive position.
    By letter dated April 24, 1998, the Amex informed the Company that 
it had no objection to the withdrawal of the Company's Security from 
listing and registration on the Amex.
    By reason of Section 12(b) of the Act and the rules and regulations 
thereunder, the Company shall continue to be obligated to file reports 
with the Commission and the NYSE under Section 13 of the Act.
    Any interested person may, on or before June 25, 1998, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts bearing upon whether 
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of Exchange 
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.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
