The Business Division’s online services for business entities (including e-filing, searching and obtaining copies of documents and certificates of good standing) will be unavailable from 5:00 p.m., M.D.T., Friday, May 26, 2006 until 7:00 a.m., M.D.T., Tuesday, May 30, 2006. The Secured Transactions (UCC and EFS) services will not be affected.

This scheduled closure of online services is necessary to facilitate the transfer of effective trade name data from the Colorado Department of Revenue to the Secretary of State. We appreciate your understanding as to the necessity of these maintenance procedures and related service interruptions.

Any online filing transaction must be completed (payment must be submitted and accepted) prior to closure at 5:00 p.m., M.D.T. Friday, May 26, 2006 or the transaction will be terminated.

Thank you.

The Business Division
