Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, page C-1
1.We note the reference to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Please
note that the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the
federal securities laws do not apply to statements made in connection with a tender
offer. See Section 21E(b)(2)(C) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Please revise.

2.We note your disclosure that "[t]he Company reserves the right, but does not intend,
to extend the period that Holders have to exercise the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Right, subject to the terms of the Indenture and applicable law." Please
revise to explain how the period could be extended. See Item 4 of Schedule TO and
Item 1004(a)(1)(v) of Regulation M-A. Please also revise to disclose that notice of
any extension will be issued no later than 9:00 a.m. Eastern time, as required

5.We note your reference to "Parent's filings with the SEC, including agreements
relating to Parent's Class A Common Stock, or as otherwise previously publicly
announced." Please revise to provide disclosure required by Item 1005(e) of
Regulation M-A as to such "filings" and "agreements," and, to the extent applicable,
attach them as exhibits. See Item 5 of Schedule TO, Item 1005(e) of Regulation M-A,

Reference Section of the SEC" and your disclosure that, among other things, the
tender offer materials "may be examined and copies may be obtained at the same
places and in the same manner as set forth above." The SEC no longer maintains a
public reference room where filings can be inspected and copied by the public. Please
revise.
7.We note that you attempt to incorporate by reference "[a]ll documents filed with (but
not furnished to) the SEC by Parent pursuant to Sections 13, 14 and 15(d) of the
Exchange Act subsequent to the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice
through, and including, the Fundamental Change Expiration Date " (emphasis added).
Please note that Schedule TO does not specifically permit "forward incorporation" by
reference. To the extent that additional filings are made, you must amend the
Schedule TO to specifically incorporate them by reference. Refer to General
Instruction F to Schedule TO which specifies how you may incorporate by reference
in a Schedule TO. Please revise.
We remind you that the filing persons are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy
of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by
the staff.
Please direct any questions to Eddie Kim at 202-679-6943 or Daniel Duchovny at
