Cuculic Best Western International Inc. June 19, 2018 Page 2 2. It appears that the offering, as structured with respect to contingently-approved applicants constructing new properties, fails to comply with Securities Act Rule 415(a)(2). In this regard, your offering is structured to continue beyond two years from the initial effective date. Please revise or tell us how you believe the offering complies with Rule 415. 3. We note your response to comment 6, the transfer restrictions applicable to the Common Stock, and your representation that the seven series of Common Stock will convert into a single series upon consummation of an initial public offering. Please confirm that you do not plan to register the Common Stock under Exchange Act Section 12 while the different series are outstanding. Please also tell us what consideration you have given to providing expanded beneficial ownership disclosure on a series basis, to provide transparency as to significant holdings with respect to each series.
