Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), Athena Pubco B.V. (the “Registrant”) respectfully requests that the effective date of the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form F-4 (File No. 333-259916) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on September 30, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on December 14, 2021, Amendment No. 2 filed on January 18, 2022 and Amendment No. 3 filed on February 1, 2022 (the “Registration Statement”), be accelerated by the Commission to 4:00pm Eastern Time on February 10, 2022, or as soon as practicable thereafter.

The Registrant hereby acknowledges the following:

 

 

should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

 

 

the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Registrant from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

 

 

the Registrant may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

The Registrant hereby confirms that it is aware of its responsibilities under the Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as they relate to the proposed public offering of the securities specified in the Registration Statement.

The Registrant requests that it be notified of such effectiveness by a telephone call to Amanda Fenster of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP at (212) 310-8096 and that such effectiveness also be confirmed in writing to the addresses listed on the cover page of the Registration Statement
