Kayne Anderson MLP Investment Company (the “Registrant”)
File Nos. 333-151975 and 811-21593
CIK No. 0001293613
Accession No. 0000950123-10-003013 |
Dear Mr. Sandoe:
Pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), the
Registrant respectfully requests that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
consent to the withdrawal of the Registrant’s Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration
Statement on Form N-2 and all exhibits thereto that was filed with the Commission on January 15, 2010 (the
“Post-Effective Amendment”), and issue an order to that effect.
The Fund requests this withdrawal because, upon reconsideration and consultation with the
Staff of the Commission, the Post-Effective Amendment was not required to complete the offering of
5,500,000 shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock, for which a prospectus supplement was filed with
the Commission on January 15, 2010. Through the date hereof, the Post-Effective Amendment has not
been declared effective and no securities have been sold in connection with the Post-Effective
Amendment. Based on the foregoing, the Registrant submits that the withdrawal of the
Post-Effective Amendment is consistent with the public interest and protection of investors.
Upon the grant of the Commission’s consent hereto, please return a dated copy of the order
granting such withdrawal as soon as it is available. We would appreciate it if such order would be
placed in SEC File Nos. 333-151975 and 811-21593.
Please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned or David A. Hearth, Esq. of Paul, Hastings,
Janofsky & Walker LLP, counsel to the Company, at (415) 856-7008 with any questions with regard to
this matter.
