April 2, 2020 Page 2 2.Because you are a shell company, any selling shareholders reselling their shares in a registered offering are considered underwriters. Please refer to SEC Release 33-8869 (2007). That release makes clear that Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies. This is because shareholders who receive shares from a shell company are considered underwriters with respect to their resales until the company is no longer a shell company and adequate information (Form 10 information) has been available to the market for a period of 12 months. Until the company satisfies these conditions, the selling shareholders will be deemed to be underwriters whose sales are designed to create a market in the company’s securities. Accordingly, please revise your prospectus as follows: •Please revise your disclosure to state that the selling shareholders must offer and sell their shares for a fixed price for the duration of the offering and disclose the price at which the selling shareholders will offer their shares. In this regard, please revise throughout the prospectus to remove any and all indications that selling shareholders have the ability to sell their shares at market prices. Please note that the shares must be offered at a fixed price because the company is not eligible to make an at-the- market offering under Rule 415(a)(4) as it does not meet the requirements of Rule 415(a)(1)(x). •Please revise your disclosure to identify your selling shareholders as underwriters on the prospectus cover page. Government Approvals, page 22 3.Please tell us the basis for your statement in this section that you "do not expect that there will be any governmental regulations to comply with in running [y]our business," including whether your expectation addresses governmental regulations in running your business in Nevada. In this regard, ensure that you include in this section the disclosure required by Item 101(h)(4)(viii) and (ix) of Regulation S-K and include in the Risk Factors section material risks concerning governmental regulations applicable to your business.
