pursuant to certain milestones or otherwise, please briefly describe the anticipated timing
and associated amounts of the funding.
2.We note disclosure throughout your offering statement regarding your specialized
software. However, certain statements appear to be inconsistent or, alternatively, in need
of further clarification. For example, you state that you developed specialized software

the offering statement to remove statements that the software is proprietary and you have

software. Please reconcile these statements.

December 31, 2023.
Adamantium Capital, LLC, page 70
4.Please revise, where appropriate, to disclose whether (and if so, how) the terms of the loan
agreement between Adamantium and Phoenix can be waived or amended. Please also
address any potential conflicts of interest related to common management of the
companies (for example, if management chooses to amend the loan agreement to add new
borrowers such that offering proceeds that Adamantium would previously have loaned to
Phoenix Capital and PhoenixOp can be loaned to other borrowers).
Exhibits
5.We note your response to prior comment 4 and re-issue in part. While we note certain
revisions to your exhibit index, it does not appear that you intend to file agreements
related to certain aspects of your business (e.g., third-party operator agreements,
acquisition agreements, contribution agreements, major customer agreements, equipment
or servicing agreements, etc.). Please update your exhibit index and file material
agreements, as necessary, or provide your analysis as to why such agreements are not
required to be filed.
General
6.We note your response to prior comment 1; however, we are unable to agree with your
analysis of the issues presented in that comment. Please tell us what consideration you
have given to including a risk factor related to the non-disclosure of
the Adamantium agreement prior to qualification on September 29, 2023. In addition,
please confirm that you will file post-qualification amendments, as required by Rule
252(f)(iii)(2)(ii), to reflect any facts or events arising after the qualification date of the
offering statement which represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in
the offering statement.
7.We note your response to prior comment 2. The loan agreement provides that
Adamantium will loan up to $200,000,000. Please revise your disclosure to clarify, where
appropriate, that there is no guarantee that Adamantium will raise the full amount in
proceeds to loan.
