Please expand your discussion here to reflect the fact that this offering involves the potential sale of a substantial portion of shares for resale and discuss how such sales could impact the market price of the company s common stock. General 4. Revise your prospectus to disclose the price that each selling securityholder paid for the shares being registered for resale. Highlight any differences in the current trading price, the prices that the Sponsor, private placement investors, and other selling securityholders acquired their shares and warrants, and the price that the public securityholders acquired their shares and warrants. If applicable, disclose that while the Sponsor, private placement investors, and other selling securityholders may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price, the public securityholders may not experience a similar rate of return on the securities they purchased due to differences in the purchase prices and the current trading price. Please also disclose the potential profit the selling securityholders will earn based on the current trading price. Lastly, please include appropriate risk factor disclosure. 5. In light of the significant number of redemptions and the unlikelihood that the company will receive significant proceeds from exercises of the warrants because of the disparity between the exercise price of the warrants and the current trading price of the ordinary shares, expand your discussion of capital resources to address any changes in the company s liquidity position since the business combination. If the company is likely to have to seek additional capital, discuss the effect of this offering on the company s ability to raise additional capital. We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff. Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please allow adequate time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of the registration statement. Please contact Jimmy McNamara at 202-321-4485 or Jason Drory at 202-551-8342 with any questions. Sincerely, Division of Corporation Finance Hui Shao YS Biopharma Co., Ltd.
