We present follow-up XMM observations of three AGN that were selected from the Swift BAT hard X-ray survey as candidate Compton-thick AGN: ESO 417-G006, IRAS 05218-1212, and MCG -01-05-047. The XMM spectra, however, rule out reflection-dominated models based on the weakness of the observed Fe K-alpha lines. Instead, the spectra are well-fit by a model of a powerlaw continuum obscured by a Compton-thin absorber, plus a soft excess. This result is consistent with previous follow-up observations of two other flat-spectrum BAT detected AGN. Thus, out of the six AGN in the 22-month BAT catalog with flat Swift XRT spectra, all five that have had follow-up observations are not likely Compton-thick.
