SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE

COMMISSION

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application

To Withdraw From Listing and

Registration; (Medeva PLC, American

Depositary Shares, Each One

Representing Four Ordinary Shares,

Par Value 10 Pence Sterling Per Share)

File No. 1–10817

March 12, 1997.

Medeva PLC (‘‘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 alleged in the application

for withdrawing the Security from

listing and registration include the

following:

According to the Company, it has

complied with Rule 18 of the Amex by

filing with such Exchange a certified

copy of preambles and resolutions

adopted by the Company’s Board of

Directors authorizing the withdrawal of

its Security from listing on the Amex

and by setting fourth in detail to such

Exchange the reasons for such proposed

withdrawal, and the facts in support

thereof. The Company has listed for

trading the Security on the New York

Stock Exchange, Inc. (‘‘NYSE’’) effective

March 4, 1997. Trading in the Security

on the NYSE commenced at the opening

of business on March 5, 1997. In making

the decision to withdraw the Security

from listing on the Amex, the Company

considered that the direct and indirect

costs and expenses and the division of

the market do not justify maintaining

the dual listing of the Security on the

Amex and the NYSE. The Amex has

informed the Company that it has no

objection to the withdrawal of the

Security from listing on the Exchange.

Any interested person may, on or

before April 2, 1997, submit by letter to

the Secretary of the Securities and

Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street,

NW., Washington, DC 20549, facts

bearing upon whether the application

has been made in accordance with the

rules of the exchanges 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.
