Dear Mr. Spirgel:
This letter relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-199178) (the Registration Statement) of INC Research Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company). The Company hereby provides the following preliminary proposed price range and share number information, which will be the basis for the information expected to be included in the Companys preliminary prospectus (the Preliminary Prospectus) forming part of the Registration Statement which relates to the Companys proposed initial public offering (the Offering) for the Staffs review. The preliminary price range presented herein reflects an initial offering price to the public of the Companys shares of Class A Common Stock (the Shares) of between $* and $* per Share, * Shares offered to the public in connection with the Offering (or * Shares should the underwriters option to purchase additional shares be exercised in full) with * Shares expected to be outstanding upon completion of the Offering (or * Shares should the underwriters option to purchase additional shares be exercised in full). Please note that as discussed with the Staff, the Company expects that price range ultimately included in the Preliminary Prospectus will be narrower than the range presented herein.
Please find enclosed the relevant sections of the Registration Statement updated to reflect (i) the price range and share number information after giving effect to the corporate reorganization (including a * for 1 reverse stock split) as described in the Registration Statement and (ii) the anticipated use of proceeds.
We are respectfully requesting confidential treatment for this letter pursuant to Rule 83 promulgated by the Commission, 17 C.F.R. §200.83.
