Re: Rubicon

Registration
Statement on Form S-1
Filed

File
No. 333-269646
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
On
behalf of our client, Rubicon Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), we are writing to submit the Company’s response
to the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Division of Corporation Finance of the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) set forth in its letter, dated March 7, 2023, relating to the Company’s
Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed via EDGAR on February 8, 2023.
The
Company is concurrently filing via EDGAR Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-1 (the “Amendment No. 1”), which reflects the
Company’s response to the comments received by the Staff and certain updated information.
We
have set forth below the comments in the Staff’s letter, in bold, and the Company’s responses thereto.
Form
S-1
Cover
Page
1. Please
disclose on the prospectus cover page that the purchase price of the shares under the Standby
Equity Purchase Agreement is 97% of the lowest daily VWAP of the Class A common stock during
the three trading days following a notice to sell to the Yorkville Investor. Disclose whether
there is a floor price.
Response:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the Cover Page of Amendment
No. 1 to address the Staff’s comment.
General
2. Where
you discuss the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”), please highlight
that you may not have access to the full $200 million amount available under the SEPA. Among
other things, highlight that you are only registering 31,810,075 Class A shares issuable
pursuant to the SEPA because you would have to obtain shareholder approval under NYSE listing
rules in order to issue more than 32,010,075 shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the
SEPA (19.9% of the issued and outstanding common stock immediately prior to the signing of
the SEPA). Disclose how much of the $200 million maximum amount you could receive from selling
31,810,075 Class A shares under the SEPA based upon your most recent share price. Also disclose
the total number of shares you would have to issue to obtain the $200 million maximum amount
under the SEPA based upon your most recent share price.
Response:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the Cover Page and page (v) of Amendment No. 1 to address the Staff’s
comment.
3. You
disclose that you may not issue or sell any Class A shares to YA II PN, Ltd. (the “Yorkville
Investor”) under the SEPA if the shares, when aggregated with all other Class A shares
beneficially owned by the Yorkville Investor and its affiliates, would result in the Yorkville
investor owning more than 9.99% of the company’s outstanding Class A shares. Disclose
the purpose of this limitation. Highlight that the 9.99% beneficial ownership cap does not
prevent the Yorkville Investor from selling some or all of the Class A shares it acquires
and then acquiring additional shares, and accordingly, the Yorkville Investor will be able
to sell shares in excess of the 9.99% beneficial ownership cap while never holding more than
9.99% of the company’s outstanding Class A shares at any given time.
Response:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised pages 35 and 110 of Amendment No. 1 to address the Staff’s
comment.
4. Please
revise your discussion of the material terms of the Insider Convertible Debentures to also
disclose the lock-up agreements that prevent the holders from reselling the shares underlying
their Insider Convertible Debentures during their 18-month term unless and until the Yorkville
Investor has completely sold all shares underlying its $17 million principal amount of convertible
debentures. Discuss how this may impact the amount of Insider Convertible Debentures
that are still outstanding and payable by the company on their maturity dates.
Response:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised pages vi, vii, 39, 114, 115, and 134 of Amendment No. 1 to address
the Staff’s comment.
