 Dear Ms. Kohl:

 

On behalf of Tucows Inc. (the “Company”), we are responding to the comment of the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) contained in your letter, dated December 31, 2014, to Mr. Elliot Noss, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, with respect to the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to Schedule TO-I (the “Amendment No. 1”).

 

In response to your letter, set forth below is the Staff’s comment in bold followed by the Company’s response.

 

Letter of Transmittal

 

1.We note your response to prior comment 4 and the revised Letter of Transmittal filed on December 23, 2014. Please disclose how you will treat tenders that may be made using the Letter of Transmittal filed on December 8, 2014, if the price at which a shareholder chooses to tender is not within a $0.25 increment.

 

In the event that a tender is made and is not within a $0.25 increment, the Company will move the tender price to the next higher $0.25 increment. The Company has advised us that in its prior tender offers the shareholders have not had an issue with the Letter of Transmittal increments. In addition, to the extent that any issues arise, the tender offer agent will be available to provide guidance to the shareholders.

The Company’s acknowledgement of its responsibility for its disclosures, in the form requested by the Commission, signed by Elliot Noss, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, accompanies this response.
