Comment 1. We note your response to prior comment 1. As you know, disclosure under Item 103 of Regulation S-K, which calls for a description of the relief sought, is required with respect to material pending legal proceedings. To the extent that you conclude that the relief sought is not material information required to be disclosed, you should be prepared to provide your analysis to support any such conclusions. Refer to the guidance provided in Section II.C. of SEC Release No. 33-5386 regarding materiality standards.

Response to Comment 1.

The Company respectfully agrees that to the extent that the Company concludes that the relief sought is not material information required to be disclosed, the Company will provide analysis to support any such conclusions.

In connection with the Company’s response to the Staff’s comments, the Company acknowledges that:

 

  •  

the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;

 

  •  

staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and

the Company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

If you have any questions regarding these matters, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at 216-447-9000.
