Exhibits
6.We refer to your Exhibit 5.1 opinion. It is inappropriate to include assumptions that are
too broad or assume material facts underlying the opinion. The assumptions set forth in
Section 1.4 regarding the shares being "duly registered in the Company's register of

members" and in Sections 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 appear to assume material facts related to the
issue of whether the shares will be validly issued. Please file an amended 5.1 opinion that
does not include these assumptions or explain why each such assumption is necessary and
appropriate. For guidance, please see Section II.B.3.a. of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19.
7.We refer to the tax opinion set forth in Section 3.4 of your Exhibit 5.1 opinion. Please file
an amended opinion from counsel which also opines that the referenced disclosure states
the Cayman Islands tax consequences. In addition, please revise the "Taxation" section of
your registration statement to clearly state which disclosure is the opinion of Campbells,
and update your exhibit index to add an Exhibit 8.3 opinion and cross-referencing the 5.1
exhibit.
8.We note that your Exhibit 5.1 opinion refers to current memorandum and articles of
association that were filed with the Companies Registrar in February 2019, but that the
articles you filed as Exhibit 3.2 appear to have been filed in 2018. We also note that your
current Exhibit 3.2 states that your share capital is $50,000 divided into 50,000 ordinary
shares with par value of $1.00 each, but your disclosure on page 78 states that as of the
date of the prospectus, your authorized share capital is $50,000 dividend into
100,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.0005 each. Please reconcile by either revising
your disclosures and having your counsel revise its opinion, or, alternatively, filing the
updated set of articles as Exhibit 3.2.
9.Please file an amended Exhibit 5.1 opinion that deletes the first sentence of Section 4.4, as
this statement inappropriately limits reliance. For guidance, please see Section II.B.3.d of
Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19.
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.
