General
1.To help us evaluate your response to prior comment 1, please provide us additional detail
concerning the mechanics of the installment conversion process, including a discussion of
how that mechanism has operated with respect to the 2018 Convertible Notes. With
reference to your risk factor disclosures on pages 10-11, please explain why the 2019
Convertible Notes “likely will be converted only at times when it is economically
beneficial for the holder to do so” and discuss whether/how Alto has done so with respect
to its conversions of 2018 Convertible Notes. Also explain why you might choose to
“voluntarily reduce the conversion price of the 2019 Conversion Notes” and indicate
whether you have done so with respect to the 2018 Convertible Notes. Also, clarify for us
whether you repaid any portion of the 2018 Convertible Notes in cash as opposed to stock

with the 2019 Convertible Note offering.
2.To help us evaluate your response to prior comment 2 concerning the Series B
Convertible Notes, please address the following in your response:
•Explain the reason(s) (i) why Alto has given a security interest in cash and/or cash
equivalents rather than simply paying cash for the notes and (ii) why there is a netting
mechanism.

arrangements; and
•Explain whether it is expected that Alto will pay cash to the company (i.e., convert
the Investor Note) only in connection with the periodic installment conversion
process.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.
