Form 20-F for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2022 | |
File No. 000-29442 |
Dear Madams and Sirs:
We have received the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) concerning the above-referenced filing that were provided to the Company by the Staff in its letter dated November 6, 2023 (the “Comment Letter”).
As mentioned on the telephone by our external legal counsel, Jonathan M. Nathan of Meitar Law Offices, on November 16, 2023, we are unable to respond to the Comment Letter within the initial ten business day period provided for in the Comment Letter. This is due to the Company’s, and its publicly-traded subsidiaries’, current engagement in their reporting processes for the third quarter of 2023. We expect to file our response letter within an additional eight calendar day period following the initial due date, i.e., by Thursday, November 30, 2023.
We appreciate your attention to this letter. Should you wish to discuss this letter or the Comment Letter at any time, please do not hesitate to contact our legal counsel, Meitar Law Offices (Mike Rimon, Adv. at 011-972-3-610-3621 or Jonathan M. Nathan, Adv. at 011-972-52-312-5574).
Sincerely, | |
