Draft Registration Statement on Form 10 submitted March 22, 2022
General

1.
Please describe the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on your business, particularly in the energy sector. In addition to the general impact, please also consider the impact supply chain issues may have, any impact from sanctions and export controls, and whether you will need to evaluate any aspects of your business activities. If the impact is not material, please explain why.

Response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that, to date, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has not had a material impact on its business or operations, including its businesses in the energy sector.  The Company’s business, operations and assets are all primarily in North America.  The Company does not have any business, operations or assets in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine, or any material exposure to the Russian oil markets.  The Company is also not aware of any material impact, to date, from the conflict on our material customers or suppliers .  Furthermore, the Company has not experienced any material impact on its business or operations from the resulting sanctions and export controls imposed by the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, Switzerland and other countries on Russia and Belarus.  Finally, the Company has not experienced any material supply chain issues related to the conflict to date, including in connection with its ongoing construction projects.  Although the Company will continue to monitor the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on its business, it does not currently expect to need to evaluate any aspects of its business activities as a result thereof.
