Request for Withdrawal of Registration Statement on Form S-1
File No. 333-266072
Dear Mr. Danberg,
Pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), Ayala Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the Company) hereby requests that the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-266072), initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on July 8, 2022 (as amended, the Registration Statement) and all
exhibits thereto, be withdrawn effective as of the date hereof or at the earliest practicable date hereafter.
The Company is seeking withdrawal of the
Registration Statement because it is no longer pursuing a public offering of securities at this time. The Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission and no securities have been issued or sold under the Registration
Statement.
The Company acknowledges that no refund will be made for fees paid to the Commission in connection with the filing of the Registration
Statement. However, in accordance with Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act, the Company requests that all fees paid to the Commission in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement be credited for future use.
Please direct any questions or comments regarding this correspondence to our counsel, Keith Halverstam of Latham & Watkins LLP, at (212) 906-1761, or in his absence, Jennifer Yoon at (617) 880-4540,
Thank
you for your assistance in this matter.
