Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

On behalf of Chagee Holdings Limited (the “Company”), a company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, we are submitting to the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) this letter setting forth the Company’s responses to the comments contained in the Staff’s letter dated January 21, 2025 on the Company’s Amendment No. 6 Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1 confidentially submitted on January 13, 2025 (the “Draft Registration Statement”). Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company is submitting its Amendment No. 7 to the Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “Revised Draft Registration Statement”) via EDGAR to the Commission for confidential review in accordance with the procedures of the Commission. The Company confirms that its securities have not been previously sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company also confirms that it will publicly file the registration statement previously submitted on a confidential basis at least 15 days prior to any road show in connection with the offering.

 

The Company has responded to all of the Staff’s comments by revising the Draft Registration Statement to address the comments. The Staff’s comments are repeated below in bold, followed by the Company’s response to such comments. We have included page numbers to refer to the location in the Revised Draft Registration Statement where the language addressing a particular comment appears. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

 

Along with this submission, the Company also included its audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 in the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

 

Based on the current timetable, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that it expects to publicly file the Registration Statement by the end of March 2025 and have it declared effective in mid-April 2025. The Company, together with the underwriters, will file joint acceleration requests in time before the requested effective time once all outstanding comments, if any, are resolved. The Company would greatly appreciate the Staff's assistance in meeting the proposed timetable.
