Registration Statement on Form S-1 and Amendment No. 1

Filed February 20, 2019

File No. 333-229748


Ladies and Gentlemen:


On behalf of the Company, we are responding to comments contained in the Staff letter, dated March 18, 2019 addressed to Ioanna Kallidou, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, with respect to the Company’s filing of its Registration Statement on Form S-1.


The Company has replied below on a comment-by-comment basis, with each response following a repetition of the Staff’s comment to which it applies (the “Comments”). The responses to the Comments are numbered to relate to the corresponding Comments in your letter. The Company has amended the registration statement consistent with this response. Where applicable, reference is made to the revised pages or sections of Amendment No. 1 to Form S-1.


Form S-1 and Amendment No. 1 to Form S-1 filed February 20, 2019 Cover Page

1.

Based upon the information provided in your registration statement, it appears that you are a shell company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act. You have nominal operations, nominal assets consisting solely of cash, cash equivalents and prepaid rent and no revenues to date. Please disclose on the cover page and in risk factors that you are a shell company and discuss the restrictions imposed on such companies.

RESPONSE:

While technically the Company may fall within a part of the definition of “shell company” set forth in Rule 405, the Company and its founders do not exhibit any of the characteristics of the abuses which Rule 405 and Release # 33-8587 were intended to address. Specifically:


·

The Company has a specific business plan which it is fully pursuing. This business plan has been in development for some time and the Company’s strategy for becoming a publicly-reporting company is to facilitate raising capital to pursue its business plan and to have stock which is subject to the public reporting requirements to potentially use in connection with the development and marketing of specific products as detailed in the prospectus.


·

The Company has never sought and has no intent to seek any merger partner or business combination transaction.


·

The founders of the Company have not placed any business assets in the Company with the intent to avoid classification as a “shell company”.


·

While the Company is a startup, development stage company, such status does not automatically imply that it is a shell company (see Release # 33-8869, below).

Footnote 32 to Release #33-8587 provides the clearest insight into the rationale behind the designation of certain companies as “shell companies”:


“We have become aware of a practice in which a promoter of a company and/or affiliates of the promoter appear to place assets or operations within an entity with the intent of causing that entity to fall outside of the definition of “blank check company” in Securities Act Rule 419. The promoter will then seek a business combination transaction for the company, with the assets or operations being returned to the promoter or affiliate upon the completion of that business combination transaction. It is likely that similar schemes will be undertaken with the intention of evading the definition of shell company that we are adopting today. In our view, where promoters (or their affiliates) of a company that would otherwise be a shell company place assets or operations in that company and those assets or operations are returned to the promoter or its affiliates (or an agreement is made to return those assets or operations to the promoter or its affiliates) before, upon completion of, or shortly after a business combination transaction by that company, those assets or operations would be considered “nominal” for purposes of the definition of shell company.”

None of the factors which are detailed in footnote 32 are present here.

The Commission further addressed this issue in Release # 33-8869, specifically in footnote 172:

“Rule 144(i) [the provision of Rule 144 related to shell companies] does not prohibit the resale of securities under Rule 144 that were not initially issued by a reporting or non-reporting shell company or an issuer that has been at any time previously such a company, even when the issuer is a reporting or non-reporting shell company at the time of sale. Contrary to commenters’ concerns, Rule 144(i)(1)(i) is not intended to capture a “startup company,” or, in other words, a company with a limited operating history, in the definition of a reporting or non-reporting shell company, as we believe that such a company does not meet the condition of having “no or nominal operations. (emphasis added).

While the Company has yet to generate revenues, it is pursuing its Business Plan and intends to use the proceeds of the $2,000,000 offering detailed in the registration statement to fund the commencement of full operations.  At this time, the Company’s business plan is not focused on any acquisitions or mergers, unless such represents a valuable adjunct to the Company’s operating plan.  

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without acknowledging that the Company is a “shell company”, the Company has included as a specific risk factor in its disclosure that the Company could be determined to be a “shell company” and to describe the implications of such status.
