Re:Save The World Air, Inc./ Response to Comments regarding Preliminary Proxy Materials

 

Dear Ms. Bednarowski:

 

As you know, we represent Save The World Air, Inc. ("STWA") in connection with this matter.

 

We have amended STWA's Preliminary Notice of Annual Meeting, Preliminary Proxy Statement and Preliminary Proxy Card in accordance with your comments as relayed to me during our telephone conversation on October 21, 2013. The aforementioned amended preliminary proxy documents are being filed herewith in marked, red-lined form.

 

You provided me with three comments, as follows: (i) Add a proposal for a non-binding advisory vote on compensation for executive officers pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-21; (ii) Add a proposal for a non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of an advisory vote on executive compensation pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-21 ; and, (iii) Change total capitalization to total par value referenced in proposal 3. In accordance with the foregoing comments, the amendments are as follows:

 

1. Two (2) proposals (proposals 4 and 5) have been added to STWA's Notice of 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, one related to a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and the other related to the frequency on an advisory vote on executive compensation.

 

2. Page 1 of STWA's Proxy Statement has been revised to reference new proposals 4 and 5.

 

3. Page 10 of STWA Proxy Statement, under Proposal 3, has been revised to change "capitalization" to "par value." Please also note that under Proposal 3 we also added language confirming STWA's Board's fiduciary responsibilities to the Company and its shareholders.
