Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to Form F-1 on Form F-3

General

 

1. We note that you have attempted to add an unallocated shelf to Registration Statement 333-274806 in the post-effective amendment filed on March 17, 2025. Rule 413 of the Securities Act does not permit the inclusion of additional securities in a post-effective amendment, other than amendments to automatically-effective registration statements, submitted originally under form type F-3ASR or S-3ASR. This is not the case for Registration Statement 333-274806. Also, you do not appear to meet the eligibility requirements to file an automatically effective registration statement. As such, please revise your filing to remove all references to a shelf registration from the post- effective amendment, and update disclosures appropriately. To the extent that you wish to register additional securities, please file a new registration statement on a form that you are currently eligible to use.

 

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to remove all references to a shelf registration and update disclosures appropriately.

 

2. We note the changes you have made on the cover page and in the summary
section removing or significantly revising the discussion of the HFCAA and the risks related to doing business in China and the cross-references to specific risks discussed. The Sample Letters to China-Based Companies sought specific disclosures relating to uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and that the rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little advance notice. Please reinstate prior disclosure on the cover page and summary of the registration statement discussing the risks related to doing business in China.

 

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on the cover page and pages 6, 7, 9, 10 and 11 of the Post-Effective Amendment No. 3.
