[[Page 5710]]

(``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, $.01 par value (``Security''), from listing and

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On December 15, 2004, the Board of Directors (``Board'') of the 
Issuer approved a resolution, pursuant to an action by unanimous 
written consent, to withdraw the Issuer's Security from listing on the 
Amex and to list the Security on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. 
(``NYSE''). The Board stated that it determined to withdraw the 
Security from the Amex and list the Security on the NYSE for the 
following reasons: (i) Due to recent acquisitions, the Issuer has grown 
significantly worldwide, achieving recognition as the industry leader 
for its products; and (ii) it is desirable and for the benefit of the 
Issuer to list its Security on the NYSE, which is an internationally 
recognized stock exchange. The Security commenced trading on the NYSE 
on January 21, 2005.
    The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the 
requirements of Amex Rule l8 by complying with all applicable laws in 
Wisconsin, 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.\3\
