Your letter indicates that the proponent has withdrawn the proposal and that Parker therefore withdraws its July 8, 2015 request for a no-action letter from the Division. Because the matter is now moot, we will have no further comment. Copies of all of the correspondence related to this matter will be made available on our website at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/cf-noaction/14a-8.shtml.
