Filed April 7, 2022

File No. 333-259619

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter sets forth the response of ShiftPixy, Inc. (the “Company”) to the comment letter, dated April 20, 2022, of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) with respect to the Company’s Amendment No. 5 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 publicly filed with the Commission on April 7, 2022. Concurrently, the Company is filing publicly an amendment to the registration statement (the “Amendment”). Defined terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Amendment.

 

In order to facilitate your review, we have repeated each comment in its entirety in italicized text in the original numbered sequence and followed by the Company’s response. When indicated, the responses below are contained in the Amendment. References to page numbers in this letter refer to the pagination of the Amendment.

 

1.In the risk disclosure regarding the Company’s investment company status, you (i) state that you "exceeded the 40% Threshold on October 19, 2022" (emphasis added) and (i) identify such date as the date that you believe began the one-year safe harbor for transient investment companies under Rule 3a-2(b). It appears that these are, actually, intended to be references to October 19, 2021 (emphasis added). Please make necessary changes.

 

Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised its disclosure on page 14 of the Amendment.

 

2.In the risk disclosure regarding the Company’s investment company status, please also address the risk that the Company could be deemed to be an investment company under section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
