Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Diodes Incorporated, Common Stock, $.66\2/3\ Par 
Value)

July 3, 2000.
    Diodes Incorporated (``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'') \1\ and 
Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder,\2\ to withdraw its Common Stock, $.66\2/3\ 
par value (``Security''), from listing and registration on the American 
Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Company has effected a new listing for its Security on the 
National Market of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (``Nasdaq''). Trading 
in the Security on the Nasdaq commenced, and was concurrently suspended 
on the Amex, at the opening of business on June 19, 2000. The Company's 
Registration Statement on Form 8-A with respect to the Nasdaq listing 
became effective upon filing on June 15, 2000. In conjunction with 
creating the new listing on the Nasdaq, the Company is seeking to 
withdraw its Security from listing and registration on the Amex in 
order to avoid the costs associated with such listing and to prevent 
possible fragmentation of the market for its Security.
    On February 18, 2000, the Company's board of directors approved a 
resolution authorizing the withdrawal of the Security from listing and 
registration on the Amex. The Amex has in turn advised the Company that 
its application for such withdrawal has been made in accordance with 
the rules of the Amex and that the Amex would not object to such 
withdrawal, pending its ultimate approval by the Commission. In the 
light of the new listing of the Security on the Nasdaq, the Amex has 
not required the Company to notify its shareholders of its intention to 
withdraw the Security from listing and registration on the Amex.
    The Company's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the 
Security's from listing and registration on the Amex and shall have no 
effect upon the Security's continued listing and registration on the 
Nasdaq under section 12(g) of the Act.\3\

    Any interested person may, on or before July 25, 2000, 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. 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.\4\
