VIA EDGAR Securities and Exchange Commission Attention: Ms. Mara Ransom, Office of Mergers and Acquisitions Re: The Republic Corporation Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13E-3; File no. 5-03196 Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 14A; File no. 0-08597 Filed April 13, 2005
Dear Ms. Ransom:
On behalf of our client, The Republic Corporation, a Texas corporation (the “Company”), we are filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), by electronic submission, Amendment No. 5 to the above-referenced Schedule 13E-3 originally filed with the Commission on December 6, 2004, and amended on January 26, 2005, February 23, 2005, March 21, 2005, and April 12, 2005 which amendment includes, pursuant to Item 16, as Exhibit (a)(i) a revised preliminary proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) for the special meeting of shareholders of the Company. We are also filing Amendment No. 5 to the above referenced Schedule 14A originally filed with the Commission on December 6, 2004, and amended on January 26, 2005, February 23, 2005, March 21, 2005 and April 12, 2005. Original signature pages and exhibits will be retained by the Company and will be available for inspection by the Commission.
Due to an error in transmitting the Proxy Statement to EDGAR, Appendix G to the Proxy Statement was not updated to incorporate the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 and Appendix H was not deleted to remove the Company’s Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2004. This error was not detected until the Proxy Statement was posted to EDGAR. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 5 to the Proxy Statement only updates Appendix G with the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 and deletes Appendix H to the Proxy Statement.
