The Staff’s comments are repeated below in bold and are followed by the Company’s responses. We have included page references in the Revised Registration Statement where the language addressing a particular comment appears. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Revised Registration Statement.
Comments in Letter Dated October 14, 2021
Prospectus Cover Page
| 1. | We note your added disclosure in response to prior comment 3. Please revise to refer to the VIE entities and their subsidiaries under a distinct set of terms throughout the filing rather than combining the terms, “we,” “our company,” “our,” or “uCloudlink” to refer to both the holding company and operating entities. |
In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on the prospectus cover page of the Revised Registration Statement and made conforming changes throughout the document as appropriate.
Prospectus Summary
| 2. | We note your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 5. Please clarify that the enforcement of laws and that rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little advance notice; and the Chinese government may intervene or influence your operations at any time, or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, which could result in a material change in your operations and/or the value of your ADSs. Please also acknowledge in the prospectus summary that any actions by the Chinese government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers could significantly limit or completely hinder your ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. |
In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 13 to 14 of the Revised Registration Statement.
