    On January 5, 2006, CharterMac, a Delaware statutory trust 
(``Issuer''), filed an application with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``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 shares, no par value

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

    On December 5, 2005, the Board of Trustees (``Board'') of the 
Issuer unanimously approved a resolution to withdraw the Security from 
listing on Amex and to list the Security on the New York Stock 
Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE''). The Issuer stated that the following reason 
factored into the Board's decision to withdraw the Security from Amex 
and list the Security on NYSE: the majority of all real estate 
investment trust and financial services companies are traded on NYSE. 
The Issuer stated that the Board believes it is in the best interest of 
the Issuer to be traded on the same exchange as other market 
competitors. The Issuer expects the Security to begin trading on NYSE 
on January 10, 2006.
    The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the 
requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in 
effect in the State of Delaware, in which it is incorporated, and 
providing written notice of withdrawal to Amex.
    The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the 
Security from listing on Amex, and shall not affect its

continued listing on NYSE or its obligation to be registered under 
Section 12(b) of the Act.\3\
