Registration Statement on Form F-3 filed May 31, 2024

General

 

  1.

We note the securities referenced in the filing fee table exhibit do not match the securities referenced on the cover page. Please revise to ensure consistency. Please also ensure Exhibit 5.1 covers the securities being registered.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the filing fee table exhibit.

Exhibits

 

  2.

Counsel should opine that the Selling Securities currently “are” (as opposed to “will be”) validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable. See Section II.B.2.h of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19. Please revise Exhibit 5.1 accordingly.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the Exhibit 5.1.

 

  3.

The consent filed as Exhibit 23.3 refers to the registration statement as an “annual report” and identifies an incorrect filing date. Please revise and refile the consent.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the Exhibit 23.3.

 

  4.

Please file the form of indenture as an exhibit to your registration statement prior to requesting effectiveness. For guidance, refer to Questions 201.02 and 201.04 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page II-4 of the Amended Registration Statement. In addition, the Company has filed the form of indenture as Exhibit 4.5 to the Amended Registration Statement.

 

  5.

Please revise your exhibit index to include a statement of eligibility of trustee for the indenture. Refer to Item 601(b)(25) of Regulation S-K. If you wish to designate the trustee on a delayed basis, as permitted by Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act, additionally indicate that you will separately file the Form T-1 under the electronic form type “305B2” in the notes to the index, and include the undertaking contained in Item 512(j) of Regulation S-K. For further guidance, refer to Questions 206.01 and 220.01 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page II-4 of the Amended Registration Statement.


If you have any questions regarding the Amended Registration Statement, please contact the undersigned by phone at +852.3551.8690 or via e-mail at ning.zhang@morganlewis.com.
