  Filed December 5, 2022
  File No. 333-259611

 

To the Reviewing Staff Members of the Commission:

 

On behalf of our client, Planet Green Holdings Corp., a Nevada company (the “Company”), we submit to the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchanges Commission (the “Commission”) this letter setting forth the Company’s responses to the comments contained in the Staff’s letter dated December 9, 2022 on the Company’s Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form S-3 previously submitted on December 5, 2022 (the “Registration Statement”). 

 

Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company is submitting Amendment No. 4 to its registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Revised Registration Statement”) with exhibits via EDGAR to the Commission. 

 

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 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 Registration Statement.

 

Amendment No. 3 to Form S-3

 

General 

 

1.

Despite your response to prior comment seven, disclosure regarding regulatory permissions or approvals required to operate your business still appears to be lacking. Please add the following disclosure:

 

  Disclose each permission or approval that you, your subsidiaries, your WFOE, and/or your VIEs are required to obtain from Chinese authorities (including Hong Kong authorities) to operate your business.

 

  State affirmatively whether you have received all requisite operating permissions or approvals and whether any permissions or approvals have been denied.

 

  Describe the consequences to you and your investors if you, your subsidiaries, WFOE, or the VIEs: (i) do not receive or maintain such operating permissions or approvals, (ii) inadvertently conclude that such operating permissions or approvals are not required, or (iii) applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and you are required to obtain such operating permissions or approvals in the future.

 

  If your revised disclosure indicates no operating permissions or approvals are required from Chinese authorities (including Hong Kong authorities), then additionally disclose how you determined this. If you relied on counsel, identify counsel and file an exhibit. If you did not consult counsel, provide an explanation as to why you did not consult counsel. Please expand or revise related risk factors as appropriate.

 

 

 

 

In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure in the Revised Registration Statement on page 15 in accordance with the Staff’s instructions. A consent of Hebei Kaicheng Law Office, the Company’s Chinese counsel, has been filed as the Exhibit 23.3 of the Amendment 3 to the Form S-3 filed on December 5, 2022.

2. We note your revisions in response to prior comment four, and reissue it in part. Please revise your consolidating schedules to present information for the WFOE as primary beneficiary in a separate column.

 

In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure in the Revised Registration Statement on pages 9-14 in accordance with the Staff’s instructions.

 

We hope this response has addressed all of the Staff’s concerns relating to the comment letter. Should you have additional questions regarding the information contained herein, please contact our outside securities counsel Bill Huo, Esq. or Steven Glauberman, Esq. of Becker & Poliakoff LLP at bhuo@beckerlawyers.com or sglauberman@beckerlawyers.com.
