Dear Mr. Pa rrish:
We have reviewed your filing an d have the following comments. In some of our
comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your
disclosure.
Please respond to these comments within ten busine ss days by providing the requested
information or advis e us as soon as possible when you will respond. If you do not believe our
comments apply to your facts and circumstances , please tell us why in your response.
After review ing your response to these comments, we may have additional comments.
General
1. We note your response to comment 11 of our letter dated June 14, 2016; however, we
note that the change in domicile is contingent upon the passage of the other mer ger-
related proposals and, therefore, you do not appear to qualify for the exemption under
Rule 145(a)(2) for mergers where the sole purpose of the transaction is to change the
issuer’s domicile . In addition, your analysis states that shareholders of FHCO do not
have to vote on the APP merger. Please tell us how this is consistent with the by -laws
that require a vote of shareholders when more than 20% of your outstanding stock will be
issued.
We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure
in the filing to be certain that the filing includes the information the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and all applicable Exchange Act rules require. Since the company and its management are
in possession of all facts relating to a company’s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of the disclosures they have made.
