Re:	Horizon Technology Finance Corporation
	Application for Withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 to the Registration Statement on Form N-2
	File Numbers 333-178516 and 814-00802

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

On behalf of Horizon Technology Finance Corporation (the “Corporation”), and pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we hereby request that Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 (“Post-Effective Amendment No. 5”) to the Corporation’s Registration Statement on Form N-2 be withdrawn, with such withdrawal to be effective as of the date hereof.

 

Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 was incorrectly filed on EDGAR on April 4, 2013 as a pre-effective amendment instead of a post-effective amendment. The Corporation requests the withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 so that it may be re-filed using the correct EDGAR code. No securities were sold in connection with Post-Effective Amendment No. 5.

Sincerely,

 

/s/ Thomas J. Friedmann
