Re: Computer Horizons Corp.
Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-4
Filed July 26, 2005
File No. 333-125370
Dear Mr. Caulfield:
This is to advise you that we have limited our review of the
above-referenced registration statement to the comments below.
Where
indicated, we think you should revise your document in response to
these comments, and ensure that corresponding changes are made as
applicable with respect to the disclosure concerning Analysts
International. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation
as
to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary.
Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. After
reviewing this information, we may or may not raise additional
comments.
General
1. We note that a notice for a special meeting was sent to you by
members of the Full Value Committee. Please provide appropriate
disclosure in your registration statement, including a discussion
of
the purpose of the special meeting. Please also include your
determination on whether the notice was proper.
2. Please confirm why you apparently believe that your
registration
statement includes the information with respect to all
participants
in the solicitations being made by both CHC and Analyst as
required
by General Instruction E to Form S-4 and the corresponding Item
18(a)(5)(i), or revise.
3. Please revise to provide, as of the record date, the security
ownership of certain beneficial owners and management in tabular
form
as required by Item 403 of Regulation S-K. See Item 18(a)(5)(ii)
of
Form S-4 and Item 6(d) of Schedule 14A.
Risk Factors
CHC and Analysts each expect to incur significant costs associated
with the merger.., page 29
4. Please describe the nature of the allegations by your former
financial advisor.
Vote Required; Shares Owned by CHC Directors, Officers and
Affiliates, page 43
5. Please tell us the specific provisions under the New York
Business
Corporation Law and your charter documents that set forth the
method
for counting votes, including the effect of abstentions and broker
non-votes on the merger proposal. Please also revise your
disclosure
to indicate, if true, that abstentions and broker non-votes have
no
effect on the outcome of the merger agreement proposal. We note
that this outcome will be based on the shares actually voted.
6. We note that abstentions will be counted for purposes of
determining the existence of a quorum for the transaction of
business. Please revise to also disclose whether Computer
Horizons
will count broker non-votes for purposes of determining a quorum.
7. Because a solicitation in opposition has been filed on EDGAR,
please clarify whether or not brokers will have discretion to vote
securities for which they have not received instructions. In
addition, to the extent brokers do retain discretion to vote the
securities they hold on behalf of beneficial holders, advise us,
with
a view toward revised disclosure, what consideration has been
given
to disclosing the date by when brokers must receive instructions
in
order to have the votes reflect security holder selections.
8. Please tell us the provisions of your charter documents and the
New York Business Corporation Law that impose the voting
requirements
of a majority of the outstanding shares with respect to this
proposal. Please also revise disclosure in this section to
indicate
the effect that abstentions and broker non-votes on the proposal
to
amend the certificate of incorporation would have on a vote
against
that proposal.
