Re: Application For Withdrawal of Registration Statement on
Form S-4 Filed For AEI Holding Company, Inc.
(Commission File No.333-45111)
Dear Sir or Madam:
Pursuant to Rule 477 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), AEI Holding Company, Inc. ("AEI")
hereby requests to withdraw its Registration Statement on Form S-4
that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
January 29, 1998 (Commission File No. 333-45111) (the
"Registration Statement"). The Registration Statement was never
declared effective.
Under the Registration Statement, AEI proposed to issue
$200,000,000 of its 10% Series B Senior Notes due 2007 which had
been registered under the Securities Act (the "New Notes"), in
exchange for $200,000,000 of its outstanding unregistered 10%
Series A Senior Notes due 2007 (the "Old Notes"). The New Notes
were otherwise identical to the Old Notes. AEI is requesting
this withdrawal because AEI retired the outstanding principal
balance of the Old Notes effective December 14, 1998, thus
eliminating the need to register the New Notes. None of the New
Notes were offered or sold.
Please contact Alan K. MacDonald at Brown, Todd & Heyburn
PLLC at (502) 589-5400 with any questions or comments regarding
this application. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
