Post-Effective Amendment No.1 to Form S-1 on Form S-3 filed March 6, 2023
General
1. You do not appear to be eligible to use Form S-3 for the proposed transaction. In this regard, we note that your quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 was due on February 14, 2023 and has not been filed to date. To be eligible to use Form S-3, registrants must timely file all required reports during the twelve calendar months prior to the filing of the registration statement, subject to certain limited exceptions. See General Instruction I.A.3(b) of Form S-3. Please advise us as to the reasons you believe that you are eligible to file on Form S-3, or re-file your post-effective amendment to Form S-1 on the appropriate form.
We believe the Company is eligible to use Form S-3 for the proposed transaction. On August 22, 2022, the board of directors of the Company approved a change to the Company’s fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31. This was disclosed in Item 5.03 of the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Commission on August 25, 2022.
The Company expects to file its transition report on Form 10-KT on or about March 22, 2023 for the transition period from March 31, 2022 to December 31, 2022.
Please contact me at 212.735.2227 or michael.hong@skadden.com if the Staff has any questions or requires additional information.
Very truly yours, | |
