Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed February 19, 2021

 

Exhibits

 

1.In response to comment 2, you revised Section 9.3 of Ex 4.4 to disclose that the exclusive forum provision in your warrant agreement applies to actions arising under the Securities Act. However, we reissue comment 2 as it related to the application of your exclusive forum clause in your warrant agreement to claims under the Exchange Act. In this regard, we note your disclose on page 62 that the exclusive forum provision in your warrant agreement will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum. Please revise the exclusive forum provision in Section 9.3 of your Form of Warrant Agreement filed as Exhibit 4.4. to state this clearly.

 

Response: The Company advises the Staff that the Company’s Form of Warrant Agreement, included as Exhibit 4.4 of the Amendment, will clearly state that the exclusive forum provision in your warrant agreement will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum.
