Dear Mr. Dunn,
This letter will confirm our conversation of January 5, 2016, requesting additional time to respond to the SEC’s comment letter dated December 29, 2015 directed to Hanmi. Instead of ten (10) business days, Hanmi will have sixteen (16) business days to formally respond, or January 22, 2016.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this matter. If I can be of any assistance, I can be reached at 213 368 3214 or juliet.stone@hanmi.com.
Sincerely,
/s/ Juliet Stone
