       Dear Tracy M. Preston:

              We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments. In

understand your
       disclosure.

               Please respond to these comments by providing the requested
information or advise us as
       soon as possible when you will respond. If you do not believe our
comments apply to your facts
       and circumstances, please tell us why in your response.

       PRE 14A filed March 14, 2024

       General

   1.                                                   We note that your
preliminary proxy statement was filed under EDGAR tag "PRE 14A,"
                                                        as opposed to EDGAR tag
"PREC14A," the latter of which should be used for contested
                                                        solicitations. Please
keep this in mind for future reference, and please ensure that
                                                        subsequent filings are
filed under the correct EDGAR tag.
       Background of the Solicitation, page 11

   2.                                                   We note your reference
to Jefferies' materials at a virtual meeting on December 19
                                                        reflecting a "proposed
common equity contribution of only 25% of the required capital."
                                                        However, Arkhouse's
preliminary proxy statement (page 4) refers to that same
                                                        presentation showing a
50% equity financing figure. Please advise or revise.
       Summary of other Material Terms of the 2024 Plan, page 70

3.       Refer to the last bullet on page 73 summarizing the 2024 Plan's
definition of "change in
         control." Please revise to include the description from the 2024 Plan
referenced in this
         bullet, summarizing as may be appropriate.
Compensation Discussion and Analysis, page 81

4.       We note a number of blanks throughout this section, such as on pages
86, 88, 92-93, 101,
         106-107, and 1127-117. Please fill in the blanks (information subject
to change may be
         bracketed).
Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control, page 110

5.       Please disclose the impact that a change in control could have on the
Company as a result
         of this proxy contest, including with regards to the Company's
material agreements and
         compensation plans (including the 2024 Plan).
Proposals for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, page 133

6.       State the deadline for timely notice of a solicitation of proxies in
support of director
         nominees by someone other than the Company. See Rule 14a-5(e)(4). In
addition, to the
         extent the Company's advance notice bylaw provisions do not require
the same
         information as Rule 14a-19, revise to include a statement that any
dissident party must
         also comply with the information requirements of Rule 14a-19(b). See
also, CDI 139.03
         under "Proxy Rules and Schedule 14A" (August 25, 2022).
Form of Proxy, page 155

7.       Please revise to fill in the date of the scheduled annual meeting,
consistent with the
         disclosure throughout your preliminary proxy statement.
8.       Please revise to disclose the maximum number of nominees for which
authority can be
         granted. Refer to Rule 14a-19(e)(6).
        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.
