General
18.We note your placeholder for the initial public offering price range in the IPO Prospectus
cover page, indicating that the initial public offering price will not be fixed at the time
of effectiveness and that you will disclose the midpoint of the range. However, the
Selling Stockholder Prospectus cover page includes a placeholder for the fixed initial
public offering price. Please tell us whether the selling stockholders plan to sell their
shares at a fixed price, and if so, please confirm that you will specify prior to effectiveness
the fixed price at which or price range within which selling shareholders will sell their
shares and revise the Selling Stockholder Prospectus cover page as applicable. Refer to
Item 501(b)(3) of Regulation S-K. In the alternative, please confirm that the selling
stockholders will not make any sales until the shares are listed on a national securities
exchange, and revise your Selling Stockholders Prospectus cover page to remove the
reference to a fixed price and clarify that such selling stockholders will sell their shares at
market prices once trading of your common stock begins. Please also revise the IPO
Prospectus cover page to state that the offering is contingent on approval of the Nasdaq
listing, as your disclosure on page 73 states that "we will not complete this offering unless
we are so listed."
19.Please provide us with supplemental copies of all written communications, as defined in
Rule 405 under the Securities Act, that you, or anyone authorized to do so on your behalf,
have presented or expect to present to potential investors in reliance on Section 5(d) of the
Securities Act, whether or not you retained, or intend to retain, copies of those
communications. Please contact the staff member associated with the review of this filing
to discuss how to submit the materials, if any, to us for our review.
You may contact Scott Stringer at 202-551-3272 or Joel Parker at 202-551-3651 if you
