Form 10
File Nos. 000-56375; 814-01334
Dear Ms. Dubey:
On behalf of MSD Investment Corp. (f/k/a MSD Investment, LLC) (the “Company”), set forth below are the Company’s responses to the comments of the staff of the Division of Investment Management (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that we received on January 14, 2022 regarding the Company’s registration statement on Form 10 (File No. 000-56375) (the “Initial Registration Statement”) filed on December 15, 2021. The Staff’s comments are set forth below and are followed by the Company’s responses. As we discussed, we are submitting this response letter along with a redline reflecting any revisions to the Initial Registration Statement supplementally, rather than by a filed amendment to the Initial Registration Statement in order to allow the Company additional time to complete the audit of its financial statements. We greatly appreciate the Staff accommodating our request to respond in this manner. We will file an amendment to the Initial Registration Statement no later than February 7, 2022, which will include, (i) all of the revisions set forth in the redline we are submitting today, (ii) the Company’s financial statements, audited as of December 31, 2021, and (iii) any further revisions that may be required as a result of any additional comments you may have. All page numbers herein refer to the numbered pages of the attached redline of the Initial Registration Statement (the “Redline”).
Explanatory Note (page 1)
| 1. | Please add the bulleted disclosure below, if applicable, in bold and if the Company makes additional offerings of its Shares in the future, an investor may be required to make additional purchases of the Company’s Shares on one or more dates to be determined by the Company. |
| • | | The Company intends to invest primarily in privately held companies for which little public information exists and which are more vulnerable to economic downturns and substantial variations in operating results. |
| • | | The privately held companies, below investment grade securities (“junk” bonds) and real estate in which the Company invests are difficult to value and will generally be illiquid. |
| • | | Our distributions may be funded from unlimited amounts of offering proceeds or borrowings, which may constitute a return of capital and reduce the amount of capital available to us for investment. Any capital returned to you through distributions will be distributed after payment of fees and expenses. |
