Re: Future Health ESG Corp.
Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A
Filed November 9, 2022
File No. 001-40788
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Future Health ESG Corp., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”), hereby transmits the Company’s
response to the comment letter received from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
dated November 16, 2022, regarding the Company’s Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Commission on November
9, 2022 (the “Preliminary Proxy”). For the Staff’s convenience, we have repeated below the Staff’s comment in
bold and have followed such comment with the Company’s response. All page references in the responses set forth below refer to page
numbers in the definitive proxy statement filed with the Commission on November 22, 2022 (the “Definitive Proxy”).
Preliminary
Proxy on Schedule 14A, Filed November 9, 2022
General
1. With a view toward disclosure, please tell us
whether your sponsor is, is controlled by, has any members who are, or has substantial ties with, a non-U.S. person. If so, please revise
your filing to include risk factor disclosure that addresses how this fact could impact your ability to complete your initial business
combination. For instance, discuss the risk to investors that you may not be able to complete an initial business combination with a target
company should the transaction be subject to review by a U.S. government entity, such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United
States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited. Disclose that as a result, the pool of potential targets with which you could complete an initial
business combination may be limited. Further, disclose that the time necessary for government review of the transaction or a decision
to prohibit the transaction could prevent you from completing an initial business combination and require you to liquidate. Disclose the
consequences of liquidation to investors, such as the losses of the investment opportunity in a target company, any price appreciation
in the combined company, and the warrants, which would expire worthless.
In response to the Staff’s comment,
the Company respectfully advises the Staff that Future Health ESG Associates 1, LLC, the sponsor
of the Company, is not, and is not controlled by, a non-U.S. person. It has no members who are non-U.S. persons and has no substantial
ties with a non-U.S. person. The Company has also revised the disclosure on page 9 of the Definitive Proxy. Such risk factor is included
below.
The Committee on Foreign
Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) or other regulatory agencies may modify, delay or prevent our initial business combination.
CFIUS has authority to review direct
or indirect investments whereby a foreign person acquires “control” over or, for more sensitive businesses involving critical
technology, critical infrastructure, and sensitive personal data, certain types of non-controlling rights in U.S. businesses. Some transactions
within the jurisdiction of CFIUS trigger a mandatory CFIUS filing requirement. Otherwise, notifying CFIUS of a transaction within its
jurisdiction is voluntary. CFIUS can reach out to parties to transactions within its jurisdiction that did not notify CFIUS and request
that the parties submit a CFIUS notice and can self-initiate national security reviews. If CFIUS identifies national security concerns
in connection with its review of an investment, CFIUS has the power to impose measures to mitigate such concerns and, in extreme cases,
require the foreign person to divest of the investment. Whether CFIUS has jurisdiction to review an acquisition or investment transaction
depends on, among other factors, whether the investor/acquiror of the U.S. business is a “foreign person” or “foreign
entity,” the nature and structure of the transaction, the level of beneficial ownership interest being acquired, and the nature
of any information or governance rights acquired by the foreign investor. None of the directors or officers of the Company is a non-U.S.
person. The Sponsor of the Company is not, and is not controlled by, a non-U.S. person. It has no members who are non-U.S. persons and
has no substantial ties with a non-U.S. person. We do not believe that the Company will be a “foreign entity” under the CFIUS
regulations, but we cannot predict whether CFIUS would treat the Company as a foreign person/entity or whether CFIUS would consider our
initial business combination as a covered transaction.
Our initial business combination
may be subject to CFIUS review, depending on the ultimate share ownership of the combined company following our business combination and
other factors. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which we could complete an initial business combination may be limited.
If we think the risk that our initial business combination will trigger a mandatory CFIUS filing is low and that our initial business
combination otherwise does not raise sensitive national security concerns, we may determine to proceed with the transaction without notifying
CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention before or after closing the transaction. The time necessary for CFIUS review of the transaction or a
decision to delay or prohibit the transaction may prevent our initial business combination from occurring within the applicable time period
required under our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination
within the applicable time period required under our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, we will be required to wind up,
redeem and liquidate. In such event, our shareholders will miss the opportunity to benefit from an investment in a target company and
the appreciation in value of such investment through our initial business combination. Additionally, there will be no redemption rights
or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up.
We thank the Staff
for its review of the foregoing and the Definitive Proxy. If you have further comments, please feel free to contact our counsel, Ari Edelman,
at aedelman@mwe.com or by telephone at (212) 547-5372.
Sincerely,
