The June 30, 2022 financial statements of MC have not been provided in the proxy statement because as of the date hereof MC has not delivered such financial statements to Golden Path. In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company and Golden Path have executed Amendment No. 2 to the Merger Agreement to remove the requirement of the June 30, 2022 financial statements of MC as a representation and warranty in Section 4.8 of the Merger Agreement and to require such financial statements to be provided not later than September 15, 2022 pursuant to a new covenant in Section 7.2 of the Merger Agreement.

 

If you have any questions regarding the Amended Proxy Statement, please contact the undersigned by phone at (212) 599 3322 ext. 25115 or via e-mail at SGlauberman@beckerlawyers.com.

 

  Very truly yours,
