Re:     Box, Inc.
    Registration Statement on Form S-1
    File No. 333-194767

Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of our client, Box, Inc. (“Box” or the “Company”), and in connection with the submission of a letter dated February 12, 2014 (the “First Response Letter”) in response to comments from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) contained in its letter dated January 30, 2014, relating to the Company’s Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) submitted to the Commission on January 3, 2014, we submit this supplemental letter to further address comment 1 of the First Response Letter.

Because of the commercially sensitive nature of information contained herein, this submission is accompanied by a request for confidential treatment for selected portions of this letter. The Company has filed a separate letter with the Office of Freedom of Information and Privacy Act Operations in connection with the confidential treatment request, pursuant to Rule 83 of the Commission’s Rules on Information and Requests, 17 C.F.R. § 200.83. For the Staff’s reference, we have enclosed a copy of the Company’s letter to the Office of Freedom of Information and Privacy Act Operations, as well as a copy of this correspondence, marked to show the portions redacted from the version filed via EDGAR and for which the Company is requesting confidential treatment.

For the convenience of the Staff, we are providing to the Staff by overnight delivery copies of this letter. In this letter, we have recited the prior comment from the Staff in italicized, bold type and have followed the comment with the Company’s response.

General

 

1. We will process your amendments without price ranges. Since the price range you select will affect disclosure in several sections of the filing, we will need sufficient time to process your amendments once a price range is included and the material information now appearing blank throughout the document has been provided. The effect of the price range on disclosure throughout the document may cause us to raise issues on areas not previously commented on.

We supplementally advise the Staff that, on December 23, 2014, representatives of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, the lead underwriter for the Company’s initial public offering, on behalf of the underwriters, advised the Company that, based on then-current market conditions, they anticipated the underwriters would recommend to the Company a preliminary price range of [***] per share (the “Preliminary Price Range”).

The Company does not intend to disclose the Preliminary Price Range in the Registration Statement until it commences the marketing efforts for the Company’s initial public offering, which is currently scheduled to begin on January 9, 2015.

We further advise the Staff that the Company expects to grant additional equity awards prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and we will update the Staff once the details of such awards are finalized.
