Fairholme VP Series Fund, Inc. ("Registrant") files this Application for Extension of Time under Rule 8b-25 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act") (17 the CFR 270.8b-25), respectfully requesting that the date for the timely filing of its registration pursuant to Section 8 of the 1940 Act, be extended from May 8, 2015 to July 7, 2015, as provided in Rule 8b-25.
Narrative
On November 2, 2010, the Registrant filed a Form N-8A notifying the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") of its intent to register as an open-end management company under the 1940 Act. Rule 8b-5 under the 1940 Act (17 CFR 270.8b-5) provides that the registration statement of a registrant shall be filed within three months of the date of the filing of the notification on Form N-8A, unless the registrant's fiscal year is during that three-month period, in which case the registrant may file any time within three months of such fiscal year end. Rule 8b-25 under the 1940 Act provides for a 60-day extension of the date on which
such registration statement is to be filed if it is impractical to furnish the required information within the time required by Rule 8b-5.
The Registrant found it impractical to file the registration statement under Section 8 of the 1940 Act by March 31, 2011, because, at the time the registration statement was due, the Registrant was not able to provide certain information required by Form N-1A. The Registrant continues to finalize certain aspects of its structure and complete other organizational steps. As a result, expected modifications potentially could impact information required to be disclosed in Part A (Prospectus) and Part B (Statement of Additional Information) of Form N-1A.
Therefore, the Registrant respectfully requests that this application for extension of time to file under Section 8 of the 1940 Act be accepted under Rule 8b-25 under the 1940 Act and that the due date for the filing of the Registrant's registration as an open-end management company be upon resolution of the organizational matters.
