The numbered items set forth below repeat (in bold italics) the comments of the Staff, and following such comments are Rockwell’s responses (in regular type).
General
| 1. | We note the following disclosure: “Richmond and Ravich have ... [t]hreatened to gain control of Rockwell (without paying a premium to Rockwell shareholders).” Please qualify any such statement in the future by noting that control premiums are not commonly associated with exercising a right to nominate directors, but rather with purchases of a controlling interest in the capital stock of a company. |
Response: In the future, Rockwell will qualify any such statement by noting that control premiums are not commonly associated with exercising a right to nominate directors, but rather with purchases of a controlling interest in the capital stock of a company.
