Section 5 of the Securities Act or conducted pursuant to an exemption from such
registration. You may wish to refer to Staff Legal Bulletin No. 4 (September 16,
1997) for guidance on the staff's views regarding whether Section 5 applies to a
spinoff and related matters.
•Please tell us whether you anticipate Entrepreneur Resorts Ltd needing to register any
class of its securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
explain to us the basis for your view.
2.We note your response dated September 25, 2023, in which you represented that you
expect to have completed the process to delist your securities from the Upstream platform
"on or about September 30, 2023." As of the date hereof, the Upstream platform continues
to disclose that it lists your common equity. Further, we do not see any current reports on
Form 6-K, company press releases or other public announcements confirming the
aforementioned delisting. As such, it appears your common equity is still listed on the
Upstream platform. Please tell us the status of your plans to delist from the Upstream
platform and update your disclosure accordingly. If your plans to delist have changed,
please note that the concerns articulated in our comment letter dated September 11, 2023,
would remain outstanding and, in such case, we would expect you to address such
concerns by responding to the comment letter.
Please contact Kate Beukenkamp at 202-551-3861 or Dietrich King at 202-551-8071
with any questions.
Sincerely,
