Re: SportsMap Tech Acquisition Corp.
Amendment No. 5 to Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A
Filed October 26, 2023
File No. 001-40916
 

 

To Whom It May Concern:

        

The undersigned serves as counsel to SportsMap Tech Acquisition Corporation (“SportsMap” or the “Company”). On behalf of SportsMap, we are writing to submit the Company’s response to the comments from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Division of Corporation Finance of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) set forth during a telephone discussion between the Staff and my colleague, Cody Boender, on November 3, 2023, relating to the Company’s Amendment No. 5 to Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) filed via EDGAR on October 26, 2023. Contemporaneous with the submission of this correspondence, the Company filed its Amendment No. 6 (the “Amendment”) to the Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, we have revised the disclosure in the Amendment as follows:

 

·We have revised the disclosure on page 133 to remove the assumption of a private placement financing of $10 million.
·We have revised the disclosure on pages 133 to 134 to indicate that the assumption of a $10 million private placement was included in prior investor presentations, but has been removed from the Proxy Statement to reflect the current status of the Company’s fundraising.
·We have revised the disclosure on pages 37, 51, 52 and 74 to describe risks that would result if the Company is unable to secure additional financing in connection with the business combination.
·We have revised the disclosure on page 74 to describe risks related to the difference in the valuation of the post-closing company and the valuation presented to the Company’s board of directors in recommending the business combination to the stockholders.
