Re: DiamondHead Holdings Corp.
Registration Statement on Form S-4
Filed October 11, 2022
File No. 333-267820
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of our client,
DiamondHead Holdings Corp. (the “Company”), we are filing this letter in response to comments from the staff (the
“Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) contained in a letter,
dated November 8, 2022, with respect to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the Commission on
October 11, 2022.
The Company is concurrently
filing via EDGAR Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (“Amendment No. 1”), which
reflects the Company’s responses to the comments received by the Staff and certain updated information.
To
facilitate the Staff’s review, we have included in this letter the caption and comment from the Staff’s comment letter
in bold text and have provided the Company’s response immediately following each comment including, where applicable, a cross-reference
to the location in Amendment No. 1 of changes made in response to the Staff’s comment. Capitalized terms used, but not defined,
herein have the meanings given to such terms in Amendment No. 1.

Cover page
1. On the cover page, please revise to quantify the interests in the business
combination that the Sponsor, its affiliates, and DHHC’s directors and officers have
that may be different from, in addition to, or may conflict with the interests of DHHC stockholders
which may incentivize them to complete the business combination.
Response:
The Company has revised the disclosure on the cover page of Amendment No. 1 to address the Staff’s comment.
2. Please revise your cover page to indicate and define the Minimum
Cash Condition.
Response:
The Company has revised the disclosure on the cover page of Amendment No. 1 to address the Staff’s comment.
Selected Definitions and Basis of Presentation, page vi
3. We note your statement, on page viii, that “Certain sections
in this proxy statement/prospectus also refer to a 25% redemption scenario, 50% redemption
scenario and/or a maximum redemption scenario. Unless otherwise specified, that scenario
assumes for illustrative purposes that all of the assumptions described above apply, except
that (i) . . . (iii) in respect of the maximum redemption scenario, 22,024,388
Public Shares (including all of the Public Shares held by the Anchor Investors) are redeemed
and the Minimum Cash Condition has not been waived by GSH, resulting in an aggregate payment
of approximately $220,243,880 million from the Trust Account.” It appears to us
that the assumptions you use throughout your prospectus is that the maximum redemption is
$220 million from the $345 million in the Trust account so that $125 million
remaining in the Trust Account satisfies the $125 million minimum cash requirement of
GSH. We do not understand your basis for this assumption given that a greater number of shareholders
than 22,024,388 may seek to redeem their shares. It appears that the maximum redemption should
reflect the maximum redemptions possible. Please revise as appropriate.
Response: The Company has revised the disclosures
in Amendment No. 1, including on pages viii, xii-xiii, 23-26 and 69 thereof, to address the Staff’s comment.

4. We note your disclosure on page x that each GSH Option will be
exchanged for an option to purchase a number of UHG Class A Common Shares and each GSH
Warrant will be converted into a warrant to acquire a number of UHG Class A Common Shares.
Please revise your filing to disclose the number of options to be issued and the terms and
the amount of warrants to be issued and the terms under both the minimum and maximum redemption
scenarios.
Response:
The Company has revised the disclosure in Amendment No. 1, including on pages x-xi, 2-3, 194 and 221 thereof, to address the
Staff’s comment with respect to the number and terms of the options and warrants. As reflected in the sensitivity table on
pages xii-xiii of Amendment No. 1, the amount of options and warrants to be issued will not vary under the minimum and maximum
redemption scenarios; rather, the percentage of overall ownership may be impacted depending upon the amount of redemptions, the
impact of which is reflected in such table.
Risk Factors
The Sponsor and DHHC’s directors, officers and their affiliates may elect to purchase Public Shares, page 50
5. We note disclosure in your risk factor that your sponsor, officers,
directors and affiliates may purchase shares from public holders for the purpose of voting
those shares in favor of a proposed business combination, thereby increasing the likelihood
of the completion of the combination. Please explain how such purchases would comply with
the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act. Refer to Tender Offer Rules and
Schedules Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 166.01 for guidance.
Response:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and confirms that as of the date of Amendment No. 1, none of the Company’s
Sponsor, directors, officers or respective affiliates, directly or indirectly, have made any purchases of Public Shares. The Company
advises the Staff that any purchases of Public Shares made pursuant to the terms of the Financing Commitment
Letter will not be subject to Rule 14e-5 of the Exchange Act pursuant to the exception provided by Rule 14e-5(b)(7) for
purchases pursuant to contractual obligations because (i) the Financing Commitment Letter was entered into by the parties thereto
prior to the public announcement of the Company’s entry into the Business Combination Agreement, (ii) the obligations set
forth in the Financing Commitment Letter are binding on all parties thereto, and (iii) the commitment to purchase Public Shares
contemplated by the Financing Commitment Letter was disclosed in connection with the announcement of the Business Combination Agreement
and the material terms therein have been disclosed. Further, any other purchase of Public Shares by the Company’s Sponsor,
directors, officers or respective affiliates will comply with Tender Offer Rules and Schedules
Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 166.01, including that any such shares will not be voted in favor of the Business Combination
Proposal. The Company has revised the disclosure on page 53 of Amendment No. 1 to clarify that any such purchases of
Public Shares will comply with Rule 14e-5.

· Please
revise to disclose the inputs and assumptions used to value the earnout consideration issuable

Response:

of Amendment No. 1 to reflect the sum of the stock compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the nine
months ended September 30, 2022, reflected in adjustments 4(d) and 5(d) on pages 78 and 79 of Amendment No. 1,
