1. We note your response to prior comment 2 and your revised disclosure that states you will not be a “controlled company” and thus “will not be exempted from certain corporate governance requirements.” Please revise to remove this disclosure or clarify that you will be exempted from certain corporate governance requirements as a result of your status as a foreign private issuer, as discussed on pages 16-17.
Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the relevant disclosure on the cover page and page 62 of the Revised F-1.
