       soon as possible when you will respond. If you do not believe our

       and circumstances, please tell us why in your response.

               After reviewing your response to these comments, we may have

       All defined terms used here have the same meaning as in the proxy

       Schedule 13E-3 filed August 22, 2022

       General

   1.                                                   Please advise
supplementally why you have not included Mr. Richard Pzena as a filer on
                                                        the Schedule 13E-3. We
note that he is Chairman, CEO, founder and the largest
                                                        shareholder of Pzena
Investment Management, LLC and also a control person of PIM,
                                                        LLC. Alternatively,
revise the Schedule 13E-3 to add him as a filer and to include all
                                                        of the information
required by the Schedule in the proxy statement.
   2.                                                   We note the disclosure
in the proxy statement that PIM, LLC engaged JPMorgan as a
                                                        financial advisor on
this transaction. We further note the disclosure regarding JPMorgan's

         role in the negotiations relating to the merger. However, we are not
able to locate the
         disclosure required by Item 1015 of Regulation MA and Item 9 of
Schedule 13E-3 as to
         JPMorgan and any reports, whether oral or written, it presented to a
filing person. In
         addition, no written materials from JPMorgan have been filed as
exhibits to the Schedule
         13E-3. Please advise. Among other matters, your response should make
clear whether
         JPMorgan provided written materials to a filing person or its
representatives. If so, but
         you do not believe those materials must be filed or described in the
proxy statement, it
         should outline your views on why those materials are not materially
related to the going
         private transaction.
3.       The safe harbor for forward-looking statements in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform
         Act of 1995 does not apply to statements made in connection with a
going private
         transaction. Therefore, please delete or revise the reference to the
Act's safe harbor
         provisions found on page 77 of the proxy statement.
        We remind you that the filing persons are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of
their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.

         Please direct any questions to Christina Chalk, Senior Special
Counsel, at (202) 551-
3263.
