Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Regulation S-T thereunder, Datto Holding Corp. (f/k/a Merritt Topco, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has today filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) an Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”).

On behalf of the Company, we are writing to respond to the comments raised in the letter to the Company, dated October 9, 2020, from the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) relating to the Registration Statement previously submitted to the Staff. The Company’s responses below correspond to the captions and numbers of those comments (which are reproduced below in italics). For your convenience, copies of the Amendment will be emailed to the Staff, and those copies will be marked to show changes from the Registration Statement on Form S-1 submitted to the SEC on September 29, 2020. Where applicable, we have also referenced in the Company’s responses set forth below the appropriate page numbers of the revised prospectus contained in the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”) that address the Staff’s comment.

Please revise to clarify what you mean by “as of a given date” as it relates to these calculations. If the date used is other than the last day of the period, please explain why.

4. Please explain your reference to “pro forma net income” in the unaudited pro forma net income per share calculations. To the extent you intend to reflect the additional share-based compensation that you will record upon effectiveness for your IPO options, please tell us how you determined that this adjustment meets the continuing impact criteria of Article 11-02(b)(6) of Regulation S-X. Alternatively, remove the reference to pro forma net income and disclose in a footnote to the table the amount of share-based compensation that will be recognized upon effectiveness, which is excluded from your per share calculations.

Response

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure in Note 15 to clarify that pro forma net (loss) income does not give effect to stock-based compensation expense associated with the IPO options, and has separately noted the amount of such compensation to be recognized upon effectiveness.
