Application for Withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to
Registration Statement
Commission File No. 333-43540
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477(a) of Regulation C under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, Vicom, Incorporated ("Vicom") hereby applies for an order granting the
immediate withdrawal, effective as of the date of this letter, of its
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1, together
with all exhibits thereto, Commission File No. 333-43540 (collectively, the
"Amendment"). The Amendment was filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") on August 31, 2000.
We hereby request withdrawal because we have been informed that the Amendment is
not complete. Please note that the Amendment was not declared effective by the
Commission, no securities were sold using either the Amendment or the Prospectus
portion of the Registration Statement to which the Amendment relates, and no
preliminary prospectuses were delivered by Vicom to prospective investors in
connection with the Registration Statement.
If you have any questions regarding this application for withdrawal, please
contact Michele D. Vaillancourt at Winthrop & Weinstine, P.A., legal counsel to
Vicom in connection with this Amendment, at (612) 347-0681. Please fax the order
granting the withdrawal to Ms. Vaillancourt's attention at (612) 347-0600 as
soon as it is available.
Sincerely,
VICOM, INCORPORATED
