Re: ReleaseNow.com Corporation - Application for Withdrawal of Registration
Statement on Form S-1
Commission File No. 333-95559
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477(a) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, the undersigned registrant (the "Registrant") hereby applies for an
order granting the immediate withdrawal of its Registration Statements on Form
S-1 and Form 8-A (the "Registration Statements"). The Registration Statement on
Form S-1 was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") on January 28, 2000 and amended on February 2, 2000, March 9,
2000, March 14, 2000 and April 5, 2000. The Registration Statement on Form 8-A
was originally filed with the Commission on February 16, 2000 and amended on
March 24, 2000.
Pursuant to the Registration Statements, the Registrant proposed to register its
Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Shares"), for issuance to the
public with a proposed maximum offering price of $16.00. The Registrant believes
that terms obtainable in the marketplace at this time are not sufficiently
attractive to warrant proceeding with the sale of the Shares. The offering of
the Shares would be a discretionary financing for the Registrant, and the
Registrant does not believe that completing a discretionary financing on
unfavorable terms would be in the best interests of the Registrant and its
stockholders. No securities have been offered or sold under the Registration
Statements and all activity in pursuit of the offering has been discontinued.
Accordingly, we request an order granting the withdrawal of both Registration
----
Statements, as amended, including all exhibits thereto, be issued by the
Commission as soon as possible.
If you have any questions regarding the foregoing application for withdrawal,
please contact Valerie L. Russell, outside counsel of the Registrant, at (650)
496-2847.
Sincerely,
/s/ Michael Maulick
