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\
