Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

In accordance with Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), we, as underwriters, hereby join in the request of Dova Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) for acceleration of the effective date of the above-named Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, so that it becomes effective at 4:30 PM, Eastern Time, on February 22, 2018 or as soon thereafter as practicable, or at such other time as the Company or its outside counsel, Cooley LLP, may orally request via telephone call that such Registration Statement be declared effective.

 

Pursuant to Rule 460 under the Act, we, as underwriters, wish to advise you that there will be distributed to each prospective underwriter, institution or dealer who is reasonably anticipated to participate in the distribution of the securities as many copies of the proposed form of Preliminary Prospectus, dated February 20, 2018 and included in the above-named Registration Statement, as amended, as appears to be reasonable to secure adequate distribution of the Preliminary Prospectus.

 

We, the undersigned, as underwriters, will comply with the requirements of Rule 15c2-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 



 

 

Very truly yours,
