Delisting Determination, NASDAQ OMX BX, June 1, 2009

NASDAQ OMX BX (the Exchange) has determined to remove from
listing the common stock of Argan, Inc. (the Company).
NASDAQ OMX BX has made this determination pursuant to
Section 2(c)(3) of Chapter XXVII of the Rules of the Exchange.
Section 2(c)(3) permits NASDAQ OMX BX to delist securities from
the Exchange in connection with the discontinuation of listing
and trading in all securities listed on NASDAQ OMX BX.  On
September 5, 2007, the Exchange announced that it was terminating
its programs for listing and trading cash equities.  Subsequently,
in October 2007, all issuers were given additional notice that the
listings program had ceased.  Since that time the Exchange attempted
to contact the Company to allow the Company to voluntarily delist
from the Exchange.  Notwithstanding these contacts, the Company has
not yet formally delisted from the Exchange.  As a result, the
Exchange has determined to delist the Companys securities pursuant
to Section 2(c)(3) and, on April 30, 2009 provided the Company notice
of this determination and offered the Company the opportunity to
appeal the determination.  The Company did not timely request an
appeal and, as such, the determination of the Exchange has become final.
