Re: OCA Acquisition Corp.

Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2021

Filed March 28, 2022

File No. 001-39901

 

Dear Mr. Demarest and Ms. Marrone:

 

OCA Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) hereby transmits its response to the comment letter received from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), dated October 5, 2022.

 

For the Staff’s convenience, we have repeated below the Staff’s comment in bold and have followed the comment with the Company’s response.

 

Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2021

 

General

 

1. We note your response that indicates your Sponsor may have substantial ties to non-U.S. persons. Please revise your proposed risk factor disclosure in future filings to include the substance provided in your response letter, so that investors have necessary context to assess the risk you disclose.

 

The Company respectfully proposes to add the following risk factor in the Company’s subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to be filed with the Commission:

 

We may not be able to complete an initial Business Combination with certain potential target companies if a proposed transaction with the target company may be subject to review or approval by regulatory authorities pursuant to certain U.S. or foreign laws or regulations.

 

Certain acquisitions or business combinations may be subject to review or approval by regulatory authorities pursuant to certain U.S. or foreign laws or regulations. In the event that such regulatory approval or clearance is not obtained, or the review process is extended beyond the period of time that would permit an initial Business Combination to be consummated with us, we may not be able to consummate a business combination with such target. 

 

Among other things, the U.S. Federal Communications Act prohibits foreign individuals, governments, and corporations from owning more a specified percentage of the capital stock of a broadcast, common carrier, or aeronautical radio station licensee. In addition, U.S. law currently restricts foreign ownership of U.S. airlines. In the United States, certain mergers that may affect competition may require certain filings and review by the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission, and investments or acquisitions that may affect national security are subject to review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”). CFIUS is an interagency committee authorized to review certain transactions involving foreign investment in the United States by foreign persons in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States.

 

 

 

 

Outside the United States, laws or regulations may affect our ability to consummate a business combination with potential target companies incorporated or having business operations in jurisdiction where national security considerations, involvement in regulated industries (including telecommunications), or in businesses relating to a country’s culture or heritage may be implicated. The majority and managing member of the Company’s Sponsor, Olympus Capital Asia V, L.P., is a Cayman entity. Less than 20% of the direct and indirect minority investors in the Sponsor are non-US persons.

 

U.S. and foreign regulators generally have the power to deny the ability of the parties to consummate a transaction or to condition approval of a transaction on specified terms and conditions, which may not be acceptable to us or a target. In such event, we may not be able to consummate a transaction with that potential target.

 

As a result of these various restrictions, the pool of potential targets with which we could complete an initial Business Combination may be limited and we may be adversely affected in terms of competing with other SPACs that do not have similar ownership issues. Moreover, the process of government review, could be lengthy. Because we have only a limited time to complete our initial Business Combination, our failure to obtain any required approvals within the requisite time period may require us to liquidate. If we liquidate, our public stockholders may only receive $10.00 per share, and our warrants will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose any potential investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.
