Filed August 29, 2013
File No. 0000-22818
Dear Mr. Skinner:
In your letter dated January 30, 2014 (the “Staff Comment Letter”), you requested that we respond to your comments regarding our Form 10-K for Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2013 within ten business days or advise you when we would provide a response.
During our telephone conversation with Joseph Klinko on February 12, 2014, we advised him that due to timing constraints on our internal finance and legal personnel, we would like to request an extension of time to provide a response. Accordingly, we respectfully request an extension until Friday, March 7, 2014 to file our response to the Staff Comment Letter.
Thank you for your consideration of our request for an extension. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (516) 587-5010.
Very truly yours,
The Hain Celestial Group, Inc.
