Commission File No. 333-93569 Application for Withdrawal
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477(a) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, Jato Communications Corp. (the "Registrant") hereby applies for an
order granting the immediate withdrawal of its Registration Statement on Form
S-1, together with all exhibits and amendments thereto, Commission File No.
333-93569 (collectively, the "Registration Statement"), as well as the return
of all materials previously filed pursuant to Confidential Treatment
Requests. The Registration Statement was originally filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on December 23, 1999.
Pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Registrant proposed to register
up to 10,263,750 shares of its Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the
"Shares"), for issuance to the public with a proposed maximum offering price
of $153,956,250. Based upon changed circumstances in the securities markets,
the Registrant has determined at this time not to pursue the initial public
offering of equity securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
Furthermore, no securities have been sold under the Registration Statement.
Accordingly, we request an order granting the withdrawal of the Registration
Statement be issued by the Commission as soon as possible.
If you have any questions regarding the foregoing application for withdrawal,
please contact James C.T. Linfield or Wendy W. Tuey of Cooley Godward LLP,
legal counsel to the Registrant in connection with the Registration
Statement, at (303) 546-4000.
Sincerely,
Jato Communications Corp.
