1. Staffs Comment: We note your response to prior comment 1 and updated disclosure and re-issue in part. Please revise the letter to shareholders to quantify the consideration to be paid in connection with the acquisition. In that regard, we note your disclosure on page 245 indicates that the Seller and its equity holders will receive aggregate consideration with a value equal to $3,522.7 million.
Response: We respectfully acknowledge your comment and have revised the letter to shareholders by adding a paragraph to quantify the consideration to be paid in connection with the acquisition.
Beneficial Ownership of Securities, page 294
2. Staffs Comment: Please advise us why Primary Care (ITC) Holdings, LLC does not appear in the post-Business Combination beneficial ownership table.
Response: We respectfully acknowledge your comment and have updated the assumptions to the beneficial ownership disclosure on page 294 to note that Primary Care (ITC) Holdings, LLC intends to distribute to its members, immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, all of its PCIH Common Units and Class B common stock. Additionally, please reference our response to your comment #3 below.

Management of the Company following the Business Combination, page 356
3. Staffs Comment: We note your response to prior comment 7 and re-issue. Your disclosure on pages 124-25 indicates that you will be a controlled company following the consummation of the Business Combination. Please revise this section and the Summary, where appropriate, to note that you will be a controlled company within the meaning of NYSE listing standards and discuss whether you plan to utilize any of the exemptions available to you.
Response: In light of the anticipated distribution of shares by Primary Care (ITC) Holdings, LLC immediately following the Business Combination, the Company will not qualify as a controlled company following the Business Combination and such distribution. The Company does not intend to take advantage of any of the exemptions available to controlled companies in connection with its corporate governance program. As such, we have removed the risk factor and disclosure noted in your comment.
