•Your disclosure indicates that you hold a certain amount of each equity class as

financial statements. Please advise or revise accordingly.
Your disclosure indicates that you have issued 606,452 Preferred Participation

reflected in both your pro forma financial statements and subsequent events
footnote.
Approval of Par Value Reduction, Reverse Split, and Ordinary Share..., page 109
2.We note that your shareholders will be asked to approve a reverse split of the issued
and outstanding NLS Common Shares within a range of two-for-one (2:1) to twenty-
for-one (20:1) and that a table is provided on page 110 reflecting different reverse
split assumptions. We also note your table includes a twenty-five-for-one scenario
(25:1). Given that twenty-five-for-one (25:1) is out of the range being voted on please
remove this assumption or otherwise advise.
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
Notes to accompanying Financial Statements
2. Pro Forma Adjustments, page 272
3.Please explain how the share amounts included in adjustment (C) were calculated. In
this regard, you disclose that you received net proceeds of $2,875,000 in connection
with the issuance of 1,249,904 preferred shares, 568,278 PPCs and warrants to
purchase 1,181,818 common shares of NLS. It is unclear how these amounts equate to
the preferred shares par value adjustment of 64,168 presented on page 269.
4.As it relates to adjustments (F) and (G), please revise to specify the dates of these
transactions. As it relates specifically to adjustment (F), you disclose that 551,532
PPCs were converted into 754,384 common shares, which implies that such PPCs
were reflected in your preferred share balance as of December 31, 2024. As
previously requested, please revise your financial statements and relevant disclosures
throughout to disclose the significant terms of your PPCs, your accounting policy for
such securities and where they are classified in your financial statements. Please also
tell us your consideration of presenting PPCs separately from your preferred stock.
5.As it relates to adjustment (K), we note that this adjustment reflects the reduction in
par value of your equity securities from CHF 0.80 to CFH 0.03 effective January 17,
2025. Please explain why you have not provided additional adjustments for the further
reduction in par value to CFH 0.003 and the reverse share split which are being voted
on at your upcoming shareholders' meeting. In this regard, disclosure throughout your
prospectus indicates that the par value reduction and reverse share split are necessary
to meet the Nasdaq initial listing requirement, which is a closing condition of the
Merger Agreement.
6.We note disclosure throughout your prospectus of additional financing investments of
approximately $2.5 million to be raised prior to the closing date of the merger. Please
clarify whether this additional financing is a condition of closing, and if so, your
consideration of giving pro forma effect to this additional financing. Refer to Section
3240.13 of the Division's Financial Reporting Manual and Article 11-01(a)(8) of
Regulation S-X.

7.The amounts reported on the face of your balance sheet as the par value of your
preferred and common shares as of December 31, 2024 appear to have been
transposed as compared to your Statement of Changes in Equity. Please revise to
address this inconsistency.
