File No. 333-252374

 

Dear Mr. Jones and Ms. Purnell:

 

On behalf of Thunder Bridge II Surviving Pubco, Inc. (the “Company”), we are hereby responding to the letter dated April 6, 2021 (the “Comment Letter”) from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission, regarding the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed on March 23, 2021 (the “Registration Statement”). In response to the Comment Letter and to update certain information in the Registration Statement, the Company is publicly filing its Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Amended Registration Statement”) with the Commission today.

 

For ease of reference, the text of the Staff’s comment is included in bold-face type below, followed by the Company’s response.

 

Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed March 23, 2021 Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, page 8

 

1.It appears that in response to prior comment 5, the company deleted the disclosure about “significant” out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with performing due diligence on suitable targets for business combinations and the negotiation of the business combination. Please revise the disclosure in the Summary beginning on page 8 and in the Q&A beginning on page 23 to quantify, if material, the out-of-pocket expenses.

 

Response:

 

The Company has modified its disclosure on pages 8, 29 and 49 to clarify that the Sponsor, officers and directors of the Company have not incurred material out-of-pocket expenses in connection with performing due diligence on suitable targets for business combinations and the negotiation of the business combination.

2.We note your response to prior comment 2. Please clarify your disclosure on page 15 and elsewhere that the proposals are being presented “in accordance with the requirements” of the SEC to clarify that you are giving shareholders the opportunity to present their separate views on important corporate governance provisions.

 

Response:

 

The Company has added the requested disclosure on pages 15, 32, and 146 as requested.

Beneficial Ownership of Securities, page 187

 

3.We note that in footnote 5 to the table, you indicate that there will be additional directors of the company after the business combination. Please identify all directors in a pre-effective amendment, and include them by name in the table. In addition, please fill in the identities of the beneficial owners in each of the footnotes.

 

Response:

The Company has deleted the referenced disclosure, as no additional directors are contemplated to be added after the business combination.
