Response to the Staff’s Comments on the Registration Statement on Form F-1 Confidentially Submitted on January 8, 2018

 

Dear Mr. Spirgel, Mr. Fischer, Mr. French and Ms. Wong:

 

On behalf of our client, OneSmart International Education Group Limited (formerly named as OneSmart Education Group Limited), a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), we submit to the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) this letter setting forth the Company’s responses to the comments contained in the Staff’s letter dated January 17, 2018.

 

Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company is submitting a revised draft registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Revised Draft Registration Statement”) and certain exhibits via EDGAR to the Commission for confidential review pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act. In addition to adding and revising disclosure in response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has updated the Revised Draft Registration Statement to include its audited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended November 30, 2017 and related financial information.

 

To facilitate your review, we have separately delivered to you today four courtesy copies of the Revised Draft Registration Statement, marked to show changes to the draft registration statement that was confidentially submitted on January 8, 2018.

 

The Staff’s comments are repeated below in bold and are followed by the Company’s responses. We have included page references in the Revised Draft Registration Statement where the language addressing a particular comment appears. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

2.                                      We note your response to prior comment 3. Further revise to make clear whether your IPO will trigger MOFCOM pre-notification under each of the three clauses of the M&A rules.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that this offering is not expected to trigger the MOFCOM pre-notification under each of the three clauses of the M&A rules.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 41 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.
