Re: Weidai Ltd.
  Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1
  Submitted May 25, 2017
  CIK No. 0001734902

 

Dear Mr. Clampitt, Mr. Envall, Mr. West and Ms. Lubit:

 

On behalf of our client, Weidai Ltd., a foreign private issuer incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), we submit to the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) this letter setting forth the Company’s responses to the comments contained in the Staff’s letter dated June 21, 2018 regarding the Company’s draft Registration Statement on Form F-1 confidentially submitted to the SEC on May 25, 2018 (the “Draft Registration Statement”). 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”) via EDGAR to the Commission for confidential non-public review pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act.

 

To facilitate the Staff’s review, we have separately delivered to the Staff today five courtesy copies of the Revised Draft Registration Statement, marked to show changes to the Draft Registration Statement.

 

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.

General

 

1.Please supplementally provide us with copies of all written communications, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, that you, or anyone authorized to do so on your behalf, present to potential investors in reliance on Section 5(d) of the Securities Act, whether or not they retain copies of the communications.

 

The Staff’s comment is duly noted. The Company undertakes that if any written communication as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act is presented to potential investors in reliance on Section 5(d) of the Securities Act, it will provide the Staff with copies of such written communications on a supplemental basis.

 

2.Please provide us with copies of the agreements that you enter into with various counterparties during the transactional process, including investor agreements, borrower agreements, and any other specific agreements you may enter into (i.e., risk reserve, cash incentives, separate guarantee, investment programs, or other programs).

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company encloses, as Annex A hereto, the English translations of the relevant agreements (or the forms thereof) that it enters into with various counterparties during the transactional process.

 

Overview, page 1

 

3.Please indicate whether Oliver Wyman’s report was commissioned by you or any of your related parties. Also indicate whether you or any of your related parties have any connections with Oliver Wyman.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that as disclosed in the italicized paragraph under the heading “PROSPECTUS SUMMARY” on page 1 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement, the Oliver Wyman Report was commissioned by the Company and Oliver Wyman is an independent market research firm. Oliver Wyman does not have any connections with the Company or any of the Company’s related parties.

 

4.Please indicate the source of your assertion that you “were the first in China to introduce auto-backed financing products” with the described features in 2011. In addition, clarify the percentage of your auto loans that are for used vehicles.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 1 and 113 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement to indicate the source of the referenced statement.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that all of the auto-backed loans offered by the Company are secured by automobiles as collateral. The Company respectfully refers the Staff to the definition of “auto-backed loan” under the heading “PROSPECTUS SUMMARY—Conventions that Apply to this Prospectus” on page 5 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement, which defines auto-backed loans as “secured loans using automobiles already owned by borrowers as collateral.”

5.Please cite your source for your statement that you were among the top five marketplace lending platforms with the lowest delinquency ratios as of December 31, 2017 to indicate whether these other marketplace lenders also function in the auto-backed financing with GPS tracking lending space.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that as disclosed on pages 2, 114 and 116 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement, the referenced statement is derived from the Oliver Wyman Report. The Company has further revised the disclosure on page 2 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement to clarify that according to the Oliver Wyman Report, none of the other four marketplace lending platforms offers any auto-backed financing.

 

The Offering, page 7

 

6.Please indicate in this section what the percentage of voting power ADS holders will have over your corporate actions following the offering.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 7 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement to indicate the percentage of aggregate voting power of the ADS holders upon completion of this offering.

 

Risk Factors

 

The laws and regulations governing the marketplace lending industry in China…, page 14

 

7.This discussion is to be of “the most significant factors that make the offering speculative or risky.” This section appears to be a summary of marketplace lending regulations. Please revise this section so as to describe how it will impact your business rather than providing a summary. Refer to Item 503(b) of Regulation S-K.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 14-17 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement to describe how relevant laws and regulations governing the marketplace lending industry impact the Company’s business.

 

8.Revise (iv) to disclose the aggregate amount of consumer loans guaranteed in 2017, the amount of guarantees to institutional funding partners and corporate investors in 2017 and quantify the amount of guarantee liability within your balance sheets.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 15 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that all of the consumption loans for which it provides guarantees (the loan volume of which totaled RMB2.2 billion in 2017) are recorded on its balance sheet and the funding provided by online investors of such consumption loans is recorded as secured borrowings. The guarantee liability is not separately recorded for these arrangements because the amount to be repaid to the investors is recorded on its balance sheet.

The Company further advises the Staff that it also provides guarantees for loans funded by a portion of institutional funding partners and corporate investors, the loan volume of which totaled RMB4.0 billion in 2017. RMB3.1 billion of these loans are recorded on the Company’s balance sheet and the funding provided by the relevant institutional funding partners and corporate investors is recorded as secured borrowings. Similarly, the guarantee liability is not separately recorded for these arrangements because the amount to be repaid to the investors is recorded on its balance sheet. The remaining RMB0.9 billion of these loans are recorded off the Company’s balance sheet (i.e. arrangement 2 under “Revenue Recognition” on page F-22 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement), the guarantee liability for these loans was immaterial as of December 31, 2016 and 2017.

 

(v) Restrictions on self-financing and regulations on online microcredit companies, page 16

 

9.We note your disclosure that the application of Fuzhou Weidai Online Microcredit Co., Ltd.’s operating certificate has been suspended because of certain rectification requirements. Please respond to the items below.

 

·Clarify the business implications of the operating certificate being suspended. For example, can this legal entity continue to make advances without legal repercussion, and do you have other entities that can make advances?

 

The Company has revised the disclosure on page 16 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment.

 

·We note from your disclosure on page 132 that the outstanding balance of advances to borrowers was RMB 2.5 mm ($0.4 mm) at year-end 2017. Tell us the maximum and average outstanding balance of advances to borrowers.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the maximum and average daily outstanding balance of advances extended to borrowers in 2017 were RMB233.4 million (US$35.9 million) and RMB29.3 million (US$4.5 million), respectively.

 

·Revise to disclose the amount of advances made in 2017.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that as its auto-backed loans primarily serve small and micro enterprise owners who typically lack sophisticated financial planning capability and often have very unpredictable and time-sensitive financing needs, it provides advances through Fuzhou Online Microcredit to ensure that these borrowers’ imminent financing needs are timely served. As disclosed on page 16 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement, Fuzhou Online Microcredit has not been, and is not expected to be, the Company’s major funding source.

The Company further advises the Staff that such advances are repaid as soon as loan proceeds are received from online investors. In 2016 and 2017, loans that were subscribed to within 12 hours accounted for 85% and 90% of the Company’s total number of transactions, respectively, and loans that were subscribed to within 24 hours accounted for 89% and 98% of its total number of transactions, respectively.

 

Based on the foregoing, the Company does not believe that the total amount of advances made is a material or meaningful disclosure for investors to understand the Company’s business.

 

(viii) Restrictions on deducting interests and fees upfront, page 16

 

10.We note your disclosure on page 17 that you stopped deducting service fees payable to you from investors’ loan disbursements and from advances made to borrowers in early 2017 and in the second quarter of 2018, respectively. Please describe your new fee collection processes in more detail.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 17, 120, 122 and 125 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

 

We have been and may continue to rectify our business…., page 17

 

11.We note your references to fraud risks in multiple risk factors, such as on pages 18 and 22. Please tell us if you have historically experienced any fraud and whether it has had any impact on your allowance for credit losses and guarantee liabilities. In addition, tell us if your obligations to online or institutional investors in the instance of fraud differ from your normal arrangements.

 

(1)Whether the Company have historically experienced any fraud

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it considers its level of exposure to fraud risks to be relatively low compared to other online marketplace lending platforms because (i) its auto-backed loan products are only available to registered owners of the automobile collateral, and (ii) the Company has implemented multifaceted fraud detection measures. As such, the Company historically has only experienced a limited number of fraud incidents where borrowers provided false information when applying for loans, which in aggregate involved insignificant amounts. These incidents collectively have not had a material adverse effect on the Company’s business operations.

 

(2)Whether such fraud has had any impact on the Company’s allowance for credit losses

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that historical fraud incidents have had no direct impact on its allowance for loans and advances losses. As disclosed on pages 85 and F-17 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement, the Company’s allowance for loans and advances losses is calculated using a roll rate-based model based on the Company’s historical loan losses (including loan losses that are caused by fraud), as adjusted for various macroeconomic factors.

(3)Whether such fraud has had any impact on the Company’s guarantee liabilities

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that historical fraud incidents have had no direct impact on its guarantee liabilities. As disclosed on pages 86 and F-18 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement, the value of the Company’s guarantee liability is impacted by borrower defaults and the Company’s historical loan losses (in each case regardless of whether such historical defaults are caused by fraud).

 

(4)Whether the Company’s obligations to online or institutional investors in the instance of fraud differ from its normal arrangements

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that its obligations to investors in the instance of fraud do not differ from its normal arrangements. As disclosed on pages 15, 17, 24, 79, 86, 87, 125 and 135 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement, the Company is under no obligation to compensate online investors’ default losses, whereas it is obligated to compensate certain institutional funding partners and corporate investors for all of their default losses, in each case regardless of whether such default losses are caused by fraud.

 

12.Revise to disclose the amount of loans made in 2017 that exceeded statutory interest rates and the amount of loans made in 2017 offline.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has included the disclosure on page 18 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement to disclose the amount of loans made in 2017 that exceeded statutory interest rates.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that “promoting loans offline” as disclosed on page 17 of the Draft Registration Statement refers to the Company’s historical practice of conducting offline marketing activities for its loan products. This practice was deemed by regulatory authorities to be non-compliant with the Interim Measures, and the Company has ceased conducting offline marketing activities for its loan products. According to the Interim Measures, however, the Company is allowed to conduct risk management and other necessary business processes (such as information collection and confirmation and post-loan management) offline. The Company has revised to clarify the disclosure on page 18 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

 

Cyber-attacks, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins or other unauthorized access…, page 28

 

13.We note that your contractual arrangements provide for the resolution of disputes through arbitration in China. Please revise your disclosure to state, if true, that the arbitration provisions relate to the claims arising out of the contractual relationship created by the VIE agreements, rather than claims under the US federal securities laws and do not prevent shareholders of the company from pursuing claims under the US federal securities laws.

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on page 36 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement to clarify that disputes arising from the VIE agreements will be resolved through arbitration in China, the arbitration provisions relate to claims arising out of the contractual relationship created by the VIE agreements rather than claims under the United States federal securities laws, and do not prevent ADS holders of the Company from pursuing claims under the United States federal securities laws.

 

Any failure by our variable interest entity or its shareholders to perform their obligations under our contractual arrangements…, page 35

 

14.You indicate here that you are the targets of, and potentially vulnerable to cyber risks and that your security measures may be breached. Please revise your disclosure to discuss whether you have experienced any material business or reputational harm as a result of fraudulent activities in the past. If so and to the extent material, please quantify the amount(s) by which past fraudulent activities have increased your costs and expenses.

 

The Company has revised the disclosure on page 29 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment.

 

Risks Related to this Offering and our American Depositary Shares, page 50

 

15.Please include a risk factor indicating that you will likely be considered a “controlled company” under NASDAQ rules and what the impact of such a designation will be to holders of your ADSs.

Contractual Arrangements with Weidai Financial Information

 

Exclusive Call Option Agreement, page 71

 

17.Revise to disclose the current estimated value for the purchase price and the current plan for the purchase of the equity interests. Also, disclose the consideration paid for the Agreement.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it currently has no plan to exercise the exclusive call option to purchase Weidai Financial Information’s equity interest. If the Company elects to purchase part or all of Weidai Financial Information’s equity interest, the Company will purchase such equity interest at the lowest price as permitted by PRC laws at the time of such purchase pursuant to the Exclusive Call Option Agreement. As advised by Grandall Law Firm (Shanghai), the Company’s PRC counsel, as the PRC laws continue to evolve, the “lowest price as permitted by the PRC laws” can only be determined at the time of such purchase.

 

The Company further advises the Staff that the Exclusive Call Option Agreement provides that once the exclusive call option is exercised, the shareholders of Weidai Financial Information and/or Weidai Financial Information shall return the purchase price they have received to the Company or its designated party. Therefore, the exercise of the exclusive call option is not expected to have any material impact on the Company.

 

The Company further advises the Staff that no consideration was paid for the Exclusive Call Option Agreement. As advised by the Company’s PRC counsel and as disclosed on page 73 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement, all the contractual arrangements among Weidai Co., Ltd., Weidai Financial Information and shareholders of Weidai Financial Information that are governed by PRC law, including the Exclusive Call Option Agreement, are valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms and applicable PRC laws.

 

The Company has revised the disclosure on page 72 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment.

 

Shares Pledge Agreement, page 71

 

18.Revise to disclose the consideration paid for the Pledge Agreements.

 

The Company further advises the Staff that no consideration was paid for the share pledge agreements. As advised by the Company’s PRC counsel and as disclosed on page 73 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement, all the contractual arrangements among Weidai Co., Ltd., Weidai Financial Information and shareholders of Weidai Financial Information that are governed by PRC law, including the Pledge Agreement, are valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms and applicable PRC laws.

 

The Company has revised the disclosure on page 73 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, page 77

 

19.Please clarify whether the figures describing your online investors is inclusive of your institutional funding partners.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the term “online investor” refers to corporate investors and individual investors, which term does not include institutional funding partners. The Company has revised the disclosure on page 6 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment.

 

Loan Performance Data, page 79

 

20.Please describe at what stage of delinquency will begin your automobile repossession process. Please include a section where appropriate with details about the policies and procedures of your repossession practices.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that in a majority of cases, the Company is able to collect the overdue payments by following up with borrowers by phone without taking the automobiles into custody. Whether and when to take automobiles into custody is determined by the Company’s risk management team on a case-by-case basis, after assessing a borrower’s ability and willingness to repay, default risk, as well as the feasibility and cost of taking the automobiles into custody.

 

The Company has revised the disclosure on pages 24, 125, 131 and 132 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment.

 

Delinquency Rates by Balance, page 79

 

21.We note your disclosure that the delinquency rates provided in the table on page 79

 

(delinquency rates by balance and delinquency rates by vintage) exclude loans that are charged-off and discontinued loan products. Please address the following:

 

·Revise to quantify the amount of charge-offs and discontinued loan products that have been excluded from the table(s). Also, disclose what the delinquency rates would have been if such products were included.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 80 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement to (i) disclose the amount of charge-offs and discontinued loan products in 2016 and 2017, and (ii) include discontinued loan products in the calculation of delinquency rates by balance.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it does not track delinquency rates by balance of charged-off loans, as these loans are deemed uncollectible and do not serve as useful references in evaluating the Company’s overall loan performance. To the Company’s knowledge, none of the other marketplace lending platforms of comparable size tracks delinquency rates by balance of charged-off loans. As such, the Company does not include charged-off loans in its calculation of delinquency rate by balance.

·We note that you make adjustments to the M1+ and M3+ aging analysis, which you refer to as the “M1+ Delinquency Rate” and “M3+ Delinquency Rate,” respectively. Based on the current disclosures, we are unclear as to the nature of the adjustments and why such adjustments are appropriate. Explain how you consider adjustments to the M1+ and M3+ analysis, including what adjustments are possible, how they are determined, and how these adjustments may impact any other related metrics or financial statement amounts. Provide us with any sample calculations to enhance our understanding, as applicable.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that similar to delinquency rate by balance, M1+ and M3+ Delinquency Rates by Vintage are also operating metrics used by the Company’s management to evaluate its loan performance. The Company uses M1+ and M3+ Delinquency Rates by Vintage to evaluate the lifetime performance of the loans it facilitates or originates during a particular period of time (a “vintage”).

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the only adjustment it made to M1+ and M3+ Delinquency Rates by Vintage is to add back the past due principal and interest for loans in the relevant vintage that have been subsequently collected (the “Subsequently Collected Past Due Principal and Interest”) to the nominator. To the Company’s knowledge, this adjustment is widely used in the marketplace lending industry when calculating M1+ and M3+ delinquency rates by vintage, because delinquency rates by vintage that take subsequent collection into consideration more accurately reflect the lifetime performance of loans facilitated or originated during a particular period of time.

 

The Company further advises the Staff that this adjustment has no direct impact on the Company’s other operating metrics or financial statement amounts.

 

The Company sets forth below a sample calculation of M1+ Delinquency Rate by Vintage:

 

(i)If at the beginning of Month 2:

 

othe initial principal in the M1+ vintage for Year X (which represents the volume of loans the Company facilitated or originated in Year X) is RMB1000,

 

othe total balance of outstanding principal of loans facilitated or originated in Year X for which any payment of principal or interest is over 30 calendar days past due is RMB100, and

 

othe Subsequently Collected Past Due Principal and Interest is RMB0,

 

 10 

 

 

Securities and Exchange Commission

July 6, 2018

Page 11 of 28

 

Year X’s M1+ Delinquency Rate at the beginning of Month 2 is calculated as follows:

 

Initial principal
(RMB)
  Outstanding principal
for which any
principal or interest is
over 30 calendar days
past due  (RMB)
  Subsequently collected
past due principal and
interest (RMB)
  M1+Delinquency
Rate by Vintage (%)
1000   100   0    

 

(ii)If at the beginning of Month 3,

 

othe initial principal in the M1+ vintage for Year X is RMB1000,

 

othe total balance of outstanding principal of loans facilitated or originated in Year X for which any payment of principal or interest is over 30 calendar days past due is RMB100 (i.e. since the beginning of Month 2, no additional loans in the Year X Vintage had any payment of principal or interest that is over 30 calendar days past due), and

 

othe Subsequently Collected Past Due Principal and Interest is RMB10 (i.e., since the beginning of Month 2, the Company had managed to collect RMB10 of the past due principal and interest for loans in the Year X Vintage),

 

Year X’s M1+ Delinquency Rate by Vintage at the beginning of Month 3 is calculated as follows:

 

Initial principal
(RMB)
  Outstanding principal
for which any
principal or interest is
over 30 calendar days
past due  (RMB)
  Subsequently collected
past due principal and
interest (RMB)
  M1+Delinquency
Rate by Vintage (%)
1000   100+0=100   0+10=10    

 

(iii)If at the beginning of Month 4,

 

othe initial principal in the M1+ vintage for Year X is RMB1000,

 

othe total balance of outstanding principal of loans facilitated or originated in Year X for which any payment of principal or interest is over 30 calendar days past due is RMB200 (i.e., since the beginning of Month 3, payment of principal or interest for another RMB100 of loans in the Year X vintage has become over 30 calendar days past due), and

othe Subsequently Collected Past Due Principal and Interest is RMB30 (i.e., since the beginning of Month 3, the Company had managed to collect another RMB20 of the past due principal and interest for loans in the Year X Vintage),

 

Year X’s M1+ Delinquency Rate by Vintage at the beginning of Month 4 is calculated as follows:

 

Initial principal
(RMB)
  Outstanding principal
for which any
principal or interest is
over 30 calendar days
past due  (RMB)
  Subsequently collected

·Tell us if the M1+ and M3+ delinquency rates have any impact or relationship with the historical loss experience (roll rate-based model) used in the computation of your allowance for loans and advances losses as described in your financial statements (e.g. Allowance for Loans and Advances, page F-17).

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that M1+ and M3+ Delinquency Rates are operating metrics used by its management to evaluate its business performance, and have no direct impact on, or relationship with, the roll rate-based model used in the computation of allowance for loans and advances losses.

 

Customer Incentives, page 82

 

22.Please revise to quantify the amounts of customer incentives that you provide for each transaction arrangement.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 83 and F-23 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

23.Please revise your disclosure to include a table to identify and quantify the significant components of other revenues.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 84 and F-24 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

 

Acquired Non-Performing Loans, page 84

 

24.We note you use ASC 310-30 for your acquired non-performing loans and that impairment is measured based on the fair value of the repossessed assets less the estimated selling costs. Please address the following:

Securities and Exchange Commission

·Revise your disclosure to clarify that impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling cost (similar to your disclosure on page F-17).

 

The Company has revised page 86 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment.

 

·Tell us the amount of repossessed assets (e.g. automobiles, etc.) that you owned at December 31, 2016 and 2017. If material, revise your financial statements to include your related accounting policies and clarify where those assets are reported within your balance sheets.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it did not own any repossessed assets as of December 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively. As advised by the Company’s PRC counsel, Grandall Law Firm (Shanghai), the Company does not hold the creditor’s rights or the lien over the underlying collateral at any time, unless it voluntarily purchases the loan or is required to perform its guarantee obligation.

 

Restricted Cash, page 85

 

25.We note your disclosure that restricted cash partially represents cash held by banks as guarantee deposits paid on contracts and other restrictions. We also note your disclosure on page 137 that Circular 57 prohibits obtaining risk reserve funds or setting up new risk reserve funds. Please address the items below.

 

·Explain who pays the guarantee deposits, when they are paid, and why.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that guarantee deposits are refundable deposits the Company makes with certain institutional funding partners, all of which are licensed financial institutions, at the inception of their business arrangements. As part of the business arrangements, the Company is required to maintain such guarantee deposits with such institutional funding partners. If a borrower defaults, such institutional funding partners will deduct an amount equal to the delinquent principal and interest from the guarantee deposits in order to timely compensate for their default losses.

 

·Tell us if guarantee deposits are the same as risk reserve funds. If so, tell us whether and when you expect to reduce and eliminate them.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that as discussed in the preceding paragraph, guarantee deposits are refundable deposits required by certain institutional funding partners (all of which are licensed financial institutions) to ensure that their default losses will be timely compensated during the Company’s collaboration with such institutional funding partners, and are not regulated by Circular 57. Such guarantee deposits are not the same as risk reserve funds obtained or set up by online lending information intermediaries, which is prohibited under Circular 57. Grandall Law Firm (Shanghai), the Company’s PRC counsel, concurs with the Company’s understanding. The Company further advises the Staff that it does not maintain any risk reserve fund.

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that according to the custody account agreement between the Company and Xiamen Bank, Xiamen Bank is liable for all losses arising from its failure to timely transfer borrowers’ or investors’ funds, unless such failure was caused by (1) the Company’s failure to provide the correct account information or otherwise adhere to the agreed-upon operating procedures, (2) insufficient balance in the relevant account of the borrower or investor, (3) failure by the relevant borrower or investor to timely provide authorization for such transfer, or (4) force majeure. Therefore, the Company will only be liable for borrowers or investors’ losses if Xiamen Bank’s failure to timely transfer funds was caused by the Company’s own failure to provide the correct account information or otherwise adhere to the agreed-upon operating procedures, the occurrence of which is very unlikely.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 29 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement to highlight potential risks associated with errors, defects or breaches of computer systems of the Company or its business partners.

·Tell us what happens if a loan is not subscribed, considering a scenario when you have provided an advance and one where you have not provided an advance.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that loans listed on the Company’s platform are typically subscribed to within a very short period of time and historically, it has never encountered a situation where a loan is not subscribed to for an extended period of time. Hypothetically, if a loan funded to a borrower who has received an advance from Fuzhou Online Microcredit were not subscribed to, the borrower would be obligated to repay the advance to Fuzhou Online Microcredit, and Fuzhou Online Microcredit may urge the borrower to repay the advance within a reasonable period of time, pursuant to the separate advance agreement the borrower has entered into with Fuzhou Online Microcredit for the advance, a form of which is enclosed in Annex A hereto; if a loan funded to a borrower who has not received the advance is not subscribed to, then no transaction would have taken place and no contractual relationship would have existed.

Our Online Investors

 

Investor Profile and Demographics, page 129

Securities and Exchange Commission

July 6, 2018

Page 18 of 28

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that in order to provide investors with more varied investment options, the terms of the loans underlying its Premier Investment Program are the same as the investment periods of the investment program, whereas the terms of the loans underlying its X Investment Program do not necessarily match the investment periods of the investment program. As such, under the X Investment Program, if an underlying loan is repaid within the investment period, principal and interest gained during the investment period will be automatically reinvested in other loans as soon as the loan is repaid; if an investment period ends during the terms of the underlying loans, the Company will facilitate the investor’s exit by transferring, on the investor’s behalf, his creditor’s rights with respect to the underlying loans.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 134 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement to describe the respective features of the Premier Investment Program and the X Investment Program.

 

·Describe what agreements are put in place for these programs, and tell us who has contractual rights for loan contracts associated with loans included in the program.

 

(1)What agreements are put in place for the investment programs

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that in order to subscribe into an investment program, the online investor will enter into a service agreement with the Company, which sets forth his investment criteria for the underlying loans and authorizes the Company to take the necessary actions with respect to his funds. Once an online investor’s funds are automatically invested into a portfolio of individual loans listed on the Company’s platform based on the online investor’s pre-set criteria, multiple loan agreements will be automatically generated among the online investor, the Company, and each of the borrowers whose loans are within this portfolio, pursuant to the borrowers’ and online investor’s prior authorizations. The Company respectfully refers the Staff to the English translation of the form service agreement and loan agreement included in Annex A, which is being provided to the Staff in response to Comment 2.

 

(2)Who has contractual rights for loan contracts associated with loans included in the investment programs

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that loans included in the Company’s investment programs use the Company’s standard loan agreements and have the same contractual rights as individual loans not included in the investment programs. Once a loan in an investment program is subscribed to, a loan agreement will be automatically generated among the online investor, the Company and the borrower, pursuant to the borrower and online investors’ prior authorizations.

38.Revise to clarify if the 8% is before services charges and other fees and, if so, disclose the net annualized rate of return.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the 8% was the online investors’ average annualized rate of return before service charges and other fees in 2017, and the online investors’ net average annualized rate of return (i.e. annualized rate of return after deducting service charges and other fees) was 7.5% in 2017.

 

The Company has amended the disclosure accordingly on pages 2, 114, 117 and 133 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

 

Institutional Funding Partners, page 132

 

39.We note that you have entered into cooperation agreements with a number of institutional lending partners, including a trust company. Please explain to us in more detail the trust structure and arrangement.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the referenced trust company, as a licensed financial institution, is one of the Company’s institutional funding partners and an independent third party. The Company provides a guarantee to the trust company, as an institutional funding partner which guarantees the contractual payments of the loans funded by the trust company when borrowers default. The trust company was neither set up nor administered by the Company, nor did the Company contribute any funds to, or hold any interest in, such trust company.

 

Limits on our obligations and the obligations of the depositary: limits on liability to ADR holders and holders of ADS, page 177

 

40.We note that your depositary agreement waives the right to have a jury trial. Please indicate whether this provision impacts the ability of ADS holders to pursue claims under United States federal securities laws.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has updated the disclosure on page 181 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement to clarify that the provision regarding waiver of the right to trial by jury does not apply to claims against the Company arising under United States federal securities laws.

 

Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, page F-5

 

41.Please revise your presentation of interest income, net to present this amount on a gross basis within your net revenues (i.e. disaggregate interest income and interest expense) and subtotal your net interest income.

42.Please change the label “allowance for loans and advances” to be “provision for loans and advances”. In addition, revise to present the amount after your net revenues, subsequently arriving at “net revenue after the provision for loans and advances”.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has changed the label accordingly on pages 9, 75, 88, 89, 92, 93, 100, F-5 and F-8 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement and has revised the presentation on its consolidated statements of comprehensive income to arrive at “net revenue after the provision for loans and advances.”

 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Guarantee Liabilities, page F-18

 

43.Quantify for us how much you have been required to repurchase during 2016 and 2017.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the Company was not required to purchase any loans during 2016 and 2017. Prior to 2017, the Company did not have guarantee arrangements with institutional funding partners which required the Company to purchase delinquent loans. Beginning in 2017, the Company has entered into guarantee arrangements with certain institutional funding partners, which require the Company to purchase loans that are delinquent for over a certain period of time. None of the loans funded by such institutional funding partners were purchased by the Company as a result of such purchase requirement during 2017.

 

44.We note your disclosure on page F-18 and elsewhere in the document that you provide a guarantee to various institutional funding partners. Please clarify whether this is an explicit guarantee and obligation.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the guarantee provided to the respective institutional funding partners is an explicit guarantee and obligation governed by relevant agreements.

 

45.We note that your guarantee liability is exempted from being accounted for as a derivative in accordance with ASC 815-10-15-58. Please address the items below.

 

·Tell us if you are obligated to compensate your institutional funding partners for any unpaid interest in the event of a prepayment by borrowers.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the Company is not obligated to compensate the institutional funding partners for any unpaid interest in the event of a prepayment by the borrowers.

·Provide us with your analysis supporting exemption under ASC 815-10-15-58.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the guarantee liability is exempted from being accounted for as a derivative as it has met the three conditions under ASC 815-10-15-58, namely, (a) the Company provides for payments to be made solely to reimburse the institutional funding partner for failure of the borrower to satisfy its required payment obligations at pre-specified payment dates; (b) the payment is made only if the borrower’s obligation to make payments as a result of conditions as described in (a) is past due; and (c) the institutional funding partner is, as a precondition in the contract for receiving payment of any claim under the guarantee, exposed to the risk of non-payment both at inception of the financial guarantee contract and throughout its term through direct legal ownership of the guaranteed obligation.

 

Revenue Recognition, page F-21

 

46.We note your disclosures beginning on page F-21 regarding the three types of arrangements you have with investors. Please address the items below.

 

·Tell us what written agreements, if any, that you and the borrower enter into for advances and provide a sample of any such agreement.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that as disclosed on pages 82, 83, F-21 and F-22 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement, under arrangements 1 and 3, the Company enters into an unsecured advance agreement with a borrower to advance funds. As requested, the Company is providing a sample of such advance agreement as A-11 in Annex A. Under arrangement 2, the Company does not advance funds to the borrowers and no agreement for advance is entered into between the Company and the borrower.

 

·Tell us who is the legal title holder of the underlying collateral between the time the advance is made and the time the loan is subscribed.

 

Ownership of the underlying collateral. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the borrower remains the owner of the underlying collateral before and after the loan is subscribed.

 

Lien over the underlying collateral. As the advance agreement in arrangements 1 and 3 is unsecured, the Company does not hold the legal title of the underlying collateral before and after the loan is subscribed. As advised by the Company’s PRC counsel, Grandall Law Firm (Shanghai), when the loan is fully subscribed by an online investor or institutional funding partner, the online investor or institutional funding partner will hold the creditor’s rights and the lien over the underlying collateral. The Company does not hold the legal title of the underlying collateral at any time, unless it voluntarily purchases the loan or is required to perform its guarantee obligation.

 

The Company further advises the Staff that the advance as described under arrangements 1 and 3 is an unsecured advance it makes to the borrower pursuant to a separate advance agreement between Fuzhou Online Microcredit and the borrower (please refer to A-11 of Annex A for a form of such advance agreement).  As such, the time when the advance is made and repaid is not related to the change of  legal title of the underlying collateral.

·Provide us with sample journal entries for each of these transaction types that show the flow of the loans, advances, and guarantees, as applicable, through your financial statements from inception to repayment or default.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company encloses, as Annex B hereto, the sample journal entries for each type of arrangements.

 

·Clarify for us whether investors can sell or pledge loans without your consent.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the investor remains the holder of creditor’s right throughout the life of the loan and is allowed to transfer such loan. As advised by the Company’s PRC counsel, Grandall Law Firm (Shanghai), according to the Contract Law of the PRC, investors can sell or pledge loans without the Company’s consent since the Company is neither the creditor nor the debtor.

 

47.We note your disclosure on page F-22 that you consider the two deliverables provided by the Company to be loan facilitation and post facilitation services. We also note your disclosure on page F-23 that, for arrangements involving a guarantee, the Company first allocates consideration to the guarantee, then to the two previously named deliverables. Please address the items below.

 

·Clarify whether you consider the guarantee to be a deliverable when it is present. If so, revise your disclosures to state this.

 

·If you do not consider the guarantee to be a deliverable, explain how you reached your conclusion.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company considers the guarantee to be a deliverable in accordance with ASC 605-25 as it has value to the customer on a standalone basis. The Company has revised the disclosure on page F-23 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

48.We note your aging tables presented on page F-31. Please revise to provide more granular disclosure by presenting the following aging buckets: 1-30 days, 31-60 days,61-90 days, 91-120 days, 121-150 days, 151-180 days, 180-360 days, and over 360 days.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages F-32 and F-33 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

 

49.We note your disclosures throughout the draft registration statement (e.g. pages 9, 74, 118, etc.) where you discuss a number of loan products available to borrowers based on their financing needs and risk profiles (e.g. Auto-backed loans, other Secured Loans and Unsecured Loans (professional credit loans, construction machinery loans, home equity loans, other)). Tell us how you considered ASC 310-10-55-16 through 18 in determining whether your loan products should be disaggregated and classified as separate classes of financing receivables for purposes of providing the disclosures required by ASC 310. Please advise or revise your draft registration statement as necessary.

 

The Company has revised the disclosure on pages F-31 to F-33 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that disaggregated its loans receivables and acquired non-performing loans by loan products (i.e. auto-backed loans, other secured loans and unsecured loans), in accordance with ASC 310-10-55-16 through 18, based on their initial measurement attributes and the level at which the Company assesses and monitors the risk and performance of a loan. In 2016 and 2017, 94.7% and 82.7% of the total loan volume the Company facilitated and originated were auto-backed loans, respectively. Therefore, the Company aggregated the other loan products into the categories of other secured loans and unsecured loans. The Company will continue to reassess the appropriateness of the separate classes of financing receivables, if the loan product mix changes significantly in the future.

50.Revise to add a column and indicate the percentage of equity purchased by each purchaser. In addition, clarify why Deqing Jinxiu is not listed on the Principal Shareholders table.

 

(1)To add a column and indicate the percentage of equity purchased by each purchaser

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised pages II-1-2 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement to disclose (1) the respective percentages of equity interest in Weidai Financial Information subscribed to by each purchaser, and (2) the percentage of shares in the Company purchased by each purchaser.

(2)Why Deqing Jinxiu is not listed on the Principal Shareholders table

 

The Company notes that Item 7 of Form 20-F requires disclosure of shareholders that are the beneficial owners of 5% or more of each class of the Company’s voting securities. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that although Deqing Jinxiu, an entity wholly owned by the founder and his wife, is a shareholder of Weidai Financial Information (the Company’s variable interest entity), Deqing Jinxiu does not hold, directly or indirectly, any beneficial ownership in the Company. Therefore, the Company believes that Deqing Jinxiu is not required to be listed on the Principal Shareholders table pursuant to Item 7 of Form 20-F.
