The New York Stock Exchange has approved the listing of the Companys Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company seeks to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange around the middle of next week. To achieve the Companys objectives under its plan of reorganization, it is important that the Form 10 be declared effective as requested herein, and we greatly appreciate the staffs efforts to accommodate the Companys timeline.
In connection with the foregoing request, the Company acknowledges that:
| the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; |
| staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and |
| the Company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. |
If you have any questions regarding this request, please contact our outside counsel, Robert J. Melgaard of Conner & Winters, LLP, at (918) 586-8973. Please notify Mr. Melgaard at your earliest convenience after the Companys Registration Statement on Form 10 has been declared effective.
Very truly yours, | ||
