(d) On January 6, 2005, Webco Industries, Inc. issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors had unanimously approved the deregistration of Webcos common stock and that it had filed a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to effect the deregistration. As a result of this filing, Webco's common stock will be delisted from the American Stock Exchange and Webco will cease filing periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission effective immediately. Webco also announced that it would not proceed with its previously announced proposal to effect a reverse stock split followed by a forward stock split, since the purpose of that transaction was to reduce the number of Webco's stockholders of record to fewer than 300 in order to deregister the common stock. A copy of the January 6, 2005 press release is being filed as an Exhibit to this Form 8-K Report.
