Amendment No. 8 to Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed July 9, 2024
General
We note your response to prior comment 4, as well as your revised disclosure that "Digital
Ally has six (6) warrant holders, and all the warrant holders are entitled to their pro rata
share of any distribution of Digital Ally’s assets, pursuant to the warrants." We reissue the
comment in-part. Revise your disclosure to clearly state that Digital Ally has opted to
include its warrant holders in the distribution, even though they do not yet hold and may
never hold common stock, and explain why, given that this appears to be an atypical way
to effectuate the distribution of shares of a subsidiary. Further, clarify your references to
"pro rata," by disclosing the ratio utilized to distribute the 30% of the Merger
Consideration to your common stockholders and warrant holders, as it is not clear if the
reference to "pro rata" as it relates to the warrants is with reference to the overlying or
underlying security. Additionally, where you discuss the anticipated ownership of the 1.

combined company throughout the prospectus (e.g., “Digital Ally Stockholders will own
approximately 17.9% of the Combined Company . . . ), revise to separately disclose the
anticipated ownership of the Digital Ally warrant holders as distinct from the Digital Ally
Stockholders.
In connection therewith, we note your disclosure on page 212 that “[t]his joint proxy
statement/prospectus registers under the Securities Act the potential distribution by the
selling stockholder of 30% of the Combined Company Common Stock, in the aggregate
of 7,854,578.2 shares of Combined Company Common Stock, received as Merger
Consideration immediately following the Closing, referred to herein as the Digital Ally
Distribution.” Revise to clarify whether you are registering the distribution of
7,854,578.2, or in the alternative 3,253,260 shares, which is the amount you indicate in
Exhibit 107. In this regard, it appears that the 7,854,578.2 shares represents the 70% of
the shares that Digital Ally will retain following closing, given that the maximum merger
consideration to be received by Digital Ally is 11,220,826.
