Re:
Comment Letter—GlaxoSmithKline plc (“GSK”) Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2010
Dear Mr. Rosenberg:
As Chris Buckley, GSK’s Director of External Reporting, discussed with your colleague Frank Wyman earlier this week, this is a brief note to indicate that GSK will seek to respond by September 2, 2011 to the comment letter dated July 21, 2011 relating to GSK’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2010.
The preparation of a response to staff comment letters typically involves a number of GSK business, financial and legal personnel, as well as members of the GSK audit team from PricewaterhouseCoopers and outside counsel. Arranging for this involvement in order to meet an earlier deadline would be difficult, particularly in light of the summer holiday schedules of many of the individuals involved.
Mr. Jim B. Rosenberg, p. 2
