In accordance with Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Beneficient (the “Registrant”) respectfully requests that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) declare the Registration Statement effective as of 3:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, on September 29, 2023, or as soon as practicable thereafter, or at such other time as the Registrant or the Registrant’s legal counsel Haynes and Boone, LLP, request by telephone that such Registration Statement be declared effective.
