Re:Worldwide Webb Acquisition Company (the “Company”)
Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1
  Submitted April 2, 2021
  CIK No. 0001853044

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We are writing on behalf of the Company in response to the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) set forth in the letter dated April 29, 2021 (the “Comment Letter”) with respect to the draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 confidentially submitted by the Company on April 2, 2021 (the “Draft Registration Statement”).

 

This letter is being submitted together with the Company’s submission of its revised draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Amended Draft Registration Statement”), which reflects revisions to the Draft Registration Statement to, among other things, address the Staff’s comments.

 

Each comment of the Staff is set forth below, followed by the corresponding response. For ease of reference the headings and numbered paragraphs below correspond to the headings and numbered comments in the Comment Letter. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Registration Statement.

1.            Please clarify here that the low price the founders paid for the founder shares creates an incentive whereby your officers and directors could potentially make a substantial profit even if you select an acquisition target that subsequently declines in value and is unprofitable for public investors. As a separate matter, add a risk factor that explains how these incentives create a risk to potential investors.

 

Response:  In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 7, 65 and 91 of the Registration Statement.
