CIK No. 0001785041

Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of CHP Merger Corp. (the “Company”), and pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, we are confidentially submitting to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), via EDGAR, Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the above-referenced draft Registration Statement confidentially submitted to the Commission on August 19, 2019 (the “Draft Registration Statement”). Amendment No. 2 reflects revisions to Amendment No. 1 to the Draft Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 1”), confidentially submitted to the Commission on September 20, 2019, made in response to the comment letter to James Olsen of the Company dated October 2, 2019 from the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”), as well as certain other updated information. The Company confirms that as of the date of this letter it continues to be an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act.

For your convenience, the Company is supplementally providing to the Staff three (3) copies of Amendment No. 2, which have been marked to indicate the changes from Amendment No. 1.

Please reconcile your disclosure indicating that you may redeem the warrants for stock only if there is an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the stock with section 6.2 of exhibit 4.4 which appears to include an exception to registration.

Response to Comment 1:

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised sections 3.3.1(b) and 6.2 of exhibit 4.4.
