registration statement.
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 Act of 193 3 and
all applicable Securities 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 disc losures they have made.
Notwithstanding our comments, in the event you request acceleration of the effective date
of the pending regist ration statement, please provide a written statement from the company
acknowledging that:
should the Commission or th e staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the
filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect
to the filing;
the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in
declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the company from its full responsibility for
the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and
the company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a
defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal
securities laws of the United States.
