Attention: Daniel Morris
Dear Daniel:
Pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), MDC Partners Inc., a company amalgamated under the laws of Canada. (the “Company”), hereby respectfully requests that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) consent to the withdrawal, effective as of the date hereof or at the earliest practicable date hereafter, of the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-248499), together with all exhibits thereto, initially filed on August 31, 2020 and as amended on September 3, 2020 (the “Registration Statement”), on the grounds that such withdrawal is consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors as contemplated by paragraph (a) of Rule 477 under the Securities Act.
The Company filed the Registration Statement with the Commission pursuant to which the Company registered shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock to be converted from equivalent common shares of the Company as part of the Company’s proposal to change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the federal jurisdiction of Canada to the State of Delaware (the “U.S. Domestication”). On October 6, 2020, and as previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission, the Company announced it has reached a significant milestone with respect to a potential business combination between the Company and Stagwell Media LP (the “Proposed Transaction”) that contemplates that the Company would change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the federal jurisdiction of Canada to the State of Delaware as part of the Proposed Transaction and separate from the U.S. Domestication as described in the Form S-4. Therefore, the Company will not proceed with the registration as contemplated by the Registration Statement.
No shares of Common Stock were issued, sold or converted pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with Rule 457(p) of the Securities Act, the fees paid to the Commission in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement may be used as an offset to the filing fees for future registration statements.
