Re:                             Kuke Music Holding Limited
Confidential Submission of Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1

 

Dear Sir or Madam:

 

On behalf of our client, Kuke Music Holding Limited (the “Company”), a foreign private issuer incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, we are submitting the Company’s draft registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Draft Registration Statement”) relating to a proposed initial public offering in the United States of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), representing the Company’s ordinary shares, which have a par value of US$0.001 per share. The Draft Registration Statement is submitted via EDGAR to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) for confidential non-public review pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). The Company confirms that it is an “Emerging Growth Company” as defined in the JOBS Act and its securities have not been previously sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Company also confirms that it will publicly file the registration statement and the non-public draft registration statements previously submitted on a confidential basis at least 15 days prior to any road show in connection with the offering. A registration statement on Form F-6 relating to the ADSs will be filed with the Commission in due course.

 

The Company respectfully advises the Commission that it acquired 100% equity interest in Rosenkavalier Limited (“Rosenkavalier”) on February 29, 2020 (the “Acquisition”). As such, the Company has included in the Draft Registration Statement (i) the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and January 1, 2018 and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019; (ii) the audited consolidated financial statements of Rosenkavalier at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and January 1, 2018 and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019; and (iii) the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 based on the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and Rosenkavalier’s historical consolidated financial statements as adjusted to give effect to the Acquisition.
