Cover Page
1. | We note that you have removed disclosure from your cover page related to LGPs postoffering holdings and control of your corporate decisions. However, it appears that LGP will still own a significant percentage of your common stock upon completion of your offering. Therefore, please amend the disclosure on your cover page to disclose that LGP owns and will own a significant percentage of your common stock after this offering, and disclose the significant percentage. Also, please disclose that LGP will have control of your corporate decisions and that, even if LGP owns less than a majority of your common shares, it will be entitled to nominate a certain number of directors pursuant to your Stockholders Agreement, as you disclose in your amended risk factor on page 31. |
Response: In response to the Staffs comment, the Company has revised its disclosure on the cover page of the Registration Statement accordingly.
