Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477 of Regulation C of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Loral Space & Communications Inc. (“Loral”), as successor-in-interest to SS/L Holdings, Inc. (the “Registrant”), hereby respectfully requests the immediate withdrawal of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-170919) together with all exhibits thereto (collectively, the “Registration Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 2, 2010. Effective August 1, 2012, the Registrant was merged into Loral. No securities have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. Loral is requesting this withdrawal because it has determined not to pursue the transaction contemplated by the Registration Statement. Loral believes that withdrawal of the Registration Statement is consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact our counsel, Maurice Lefkort of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, at (212) 728-8239.
Sincerely, | |
