Re:                             Radius Health, Inc.

Withdrawal of Registration Statement on Form 8-A (File No. 001-35726)

 

Dear Mr. Reynolds:

 

Radius Health, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby respectfully requests withdrawal of its Registration Statement on Form 8-A (File No. 001-35726) (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 5, 2012.

 

Due to public market conditions at the time, the Company had determined not to proceed with its initial public offering and withdrew its Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-179397) on November 15, 2012. As a result, the Registration Statement did not become effective.

 

		Very truly yours,
		/s/ Robert E. Ward
		Robert E. Ward
		President and Chief Executive Officer
