Maxum Petroleum Holdings, Inc.
S-1 Registration Statement: (File No. 333-145396) |
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477 of Regulation C of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Act”), Maxum
Petroleum Holdings, Inc. (the
“Company”) hereby respectfully applies to the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the
“Commission”) for consent to the withdrawal of
the Company’s Registration Statement
(File No.
333-145396) on Form S-1 filed with the Commission on
August 13, 2008, and amended on
October 25, 2007,
November 21, 2007,
December 14, 2007,
January 8, 2008, and
January 10, 2008 (the
“Registration Statement”), together with all exhibits thereto, with such application to be approved
effective as of the date hereof or at the earliest practical date thereafter.
The Registration Statement was filed in connection with a proposed initial public offering of the
Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
“Common Stock”).
The Company has determined
not to move forward with its proposed initial public offering at this time.
The Company believes
that withdrawal of the Registration Statement is consistent with the public interest and the
protection of investors, as contemplated by paragraph (a) of Rule 477 of the Act. Since the
registration Statement was not declared effective by the Commission, no sales of
the Company’s
Common Stock were made pursuant to the Registration Statement.
If you have any questions, please contact Christian O. Nagler of Kirkland & Ellis, LLP at (212)
446-4660.
Sincerely,
|
