Re: | First Choice Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) PREC14A filed on June 18, 2020 Filed by VIA Acquisition Corp. et al. File No. 0-53012 |
This letter is in response to supplemental comments from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) regarding the above-referenced Preliminary Proxy Statement filed on Schedule 14A (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”) by VIA Acquisition Corp. et al. (collectively, the “Filing Person”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The specific items are included below in bold print, along with the Filing Person’s responses.
1. | Provide clarification on the number of directors being elected at the annual meeting. |
In response to the Staff’s comment, the Preliminary Proxy Statement has been revised to clarify that if only three (3) directors are to be elected at the 2020 Annual Meeting, while the Filing Person would not concede that any such action is valid, the three directors receiving the most votes will be elected. If the Filing Person’s four nominees receive the same number of votes, then the following three (3) of the Filing Person’s nominees will be elected: Terence T. Herzog, Eric M. Weiss, Esq. and Lance B. Friedman.
2. | Provide clarification on any agreements with the nominees. |
In response to the Staff’s comment, the Filing Person understands that no agreements have been entered into with the nominees, and therefore the Preliminary Proxy Statement has been revised to remove any references to letter agreements with the nominees.
