| | | | | Request for Withdrawal of Registration Statement on Form S-1 |
| | | | | File No. 333-239944 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On July 20, 2020, Remark Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) initially filed Registration Statement No. 333-239944 on Form S-1 (together with the exhibits and amendments thereto, the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).
Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Company hereby requests that the Commission consent to the withdrawal of the Registration Statement effective as of the date hereof. Pursuant to Rule 477(b), the Company understands that this request for withdrawal of the Registration Statement will be deemed granted as of the date hereof unless the Company receives notice from the Commission within 15 days of the date hereof that such request will not be granted.
The Company is seeking withdrawal of the Registration Statement because it no longer wishes to conduct a public offering of securities at this time. The Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission and no securities have been issued or sold under the Registration Statement. Based on the foregoing, the Company submits that the withdrawal of the Registration Statement is consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors, as contemplated by Rule 477(a).
The Company acknowledges that no refund will be made for fees paid to the Commission in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement. However, in accordance with Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act, the Company requests that all fees paid to the Commission in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement be credited for future use.
The Company requests that the Commission issue an order granting the withdrawal of the Registration Statement effective as of the date hereof and provide a copy of such order to Robert H. Friedman of Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP, the Company’s corporate counsel, by email at rfriedman@olshanlaw.com.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Friedman at (212) 451-2220.
