Schedule TO-I filed November 21, 2023; Offer to Purchase
General
1.Please ensure on future filings that the EDGAR tag "SC 13E-3/A" is associated with the
filing, in addition to the EDGAR tag "SC TO-I/A."
2.We note disclosure in multiple places in the Offer to Purchase and the offer's ancillary
documents that indicates that the consent of an additional 34% of the outstanding Public
Warrants is needed to approve the Warrant Amendment. However, when combined with
the existing 26% who have agreed to approve, the addition of that 34% would lead to an
approximate 60% aggregate approval, well in excess of the mere majority approval that is
otherwise stated as being the relevant threshold. Please revise, or advise.
3.We note the following disclosure, which appears in three separate places in the Offer to
Purchase: "The foregoing conditions are solely for our benefit, and we may assert one or
more of the conditions regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such conditions."

All offer conditions must be objective and outside the control of the offeror in order to
avoid illusory offer concerns under Regulation 14E. Please revise the language relating to
the circumstances that may "trigger" an offer condition to avoid the implication that they
may be within the Company's control. See Question 101.02 of the Division of Corporation
Finance's "Tender Offer Rules and Schedules" Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations.
Section 7. Information Concerning Marti Technologies, Inc., page 26

information required by Item 1010(c) must be disclosed in the document furnished to
security holders. See Instruction 1 to Item 13 of Schedule 13E-3. In addition, please refer
to telephone interpretation I.H.7 in the July 2001 supplement to our “Manual of Publicly
Available Telephone Interpretations” that is available on the Commission’s website at
http://www.sec.gov for guidance on complying with a similar instruction in the context of
a tender offer. Please revise the disclosure to include the information required by Item
1010(c)(1), (2) and (3).
We remind you that the filing persons are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of
