Dear Ms. Dietz and Ms. Akst,
On behalf of Autodesk, Inc. (the “Company”), this letter is being submitted in reference to the Securities and Exchange Commission's letter to Andrew Anagnost, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, dated December 20, 2018, relating to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018 and the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2018 (the “Comment Letter”).
The Comment Letter indicates that the Company must respond within ten (10) business days from the date thereof, or inform the Staff when the Company would provide a response. The Company is working expeditiously to respond to the Comment Letter. However, due to the holidays and an office closure the Company will not be able to submit its response within ten (10) business days of the date thereof. The Company currently anticipates submitting a response to the Comment Letter on or before January 15, 2019.
Please do not hesitate to contact me (415-675-8267) or Stephen Hope, the Company's Assistant Controller (415-580-3404), with any concerns you may have regarding the timetable described above. Thank you for your consideration.
