Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement on Form
S-1
Filed December 14, 2022
File No. 333-264372
Dear Mr. McPhee and Mr. Lee:
On behalf of La Rosa Holdings Corp. (the “Company”),
we have set forth below responses to the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) contained in its letter of January 3, 2023 with respect to the Company’s Amendment No. 4 to Registration
Statement on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1”) as noted above.
For your convenience, the text of the Staff’s
comments is set forth below in bold, followed in each case by the Company’s responses. Please note that all references to page numbers
in the responses are references to the page numbers in Amendment No. 5 to the Form S-1 (the “Form S-1/A”) submitted
concurrently with the submission of this letter in response to the Staff’s comments.
Amendment 4 to Form S-1 filed December 14,
2022
Cover Page
1. We note your response to comment 1. On your
cover page and on page 102 you state that you are registering 1,018,593 resale shares; however, in your filing fee exhibit, you state
that you are registering 1,046,525 resale shares. Please revise.
Exhibit 107 has been
revised to show that 1,018,593 resale shares are being registered.
Market Data, page
ii
2. Please delete your disclaimer that potential
shareholders should not rely upon the disclosure related to market data in making an investment decision.
The disclaimer that potential shareholders should
not rely upon the disclosure related to Market Data has been deleted.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements,
page 59
3. We note you have made adjustments to your
pro forma financial statements, your calculation of Dilution, your Security Ownership table on page 100, and throughout the filing where
you have disclosed the amount of shares you will have outstanding after the offering, for the shares to be issued to your CEO and CFO
as of the closing date of the offering. Please tell us what consideration you have given to also including the shares to be issued to
your COO as of the closing date of the offering, as noted on pages 92 and F- 17.
Mr. Gracy, the Company’s former COO, was
no longer employed by the Company at the time the Company filed Amendment No. 4 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1. As a result,
Mr. Gracy forfeited all future equity awards. A disclosure of the forfeiture will be added on pages 92 and F-45.
4. We note that footnote a to the Unaudited
Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet details the costs of the offering other than the value of the 457,666 shares to be issued to
consultants for consulting services related to the initial public offering. Please tell us what consideration you have given to discussing
that cost in this footnote.
In as much as the fair value of the 457,666 shares
issued to consultants for consulting services related to the initial public offering (“IPO”), with an estimated value of $4.577
million, would be a direct charge to equity and would not directly impact the net proceeds from the IPO, the Company reflected the impact
of these shares in footnote f to the unaudited proforma condensed combined balance sheet. However, an additional disclosure has now been
added to footnote a to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet to note that the Company expects to incur these non-cash
direct offering costs with reference to footnote f.
Our Organization, page 71
5. We note your disclosure of Mr. La Rosa’s
percentage control of the voting power of your common stock. Please tell us what consideration you’ve given to disclosing Mr. La
Rosa’s percentage control of the voting power after considering the impact of the Series X Super Voting Preferred Stock, here, on
the cover page, in the Security Ownership table on page 100, and in your risk factor disclosure on page 26.
The cover page, pages 26 and 71 now provide the
total voting power percentage, including the 20,000,000 votes provided by the Series X Super Voting Preferred Stock, to be owned by Mr.
La Rosa immediately after the completion of the offering.
Part II. Information not Required in Prospectus
Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities,
page II-3
6. We note your revised disclosure indicating
that you have engaged in multiple transactions involving the sale of unregistered securities. For each transaction, please disclose the
exemption relied upon and state briefly the facts relied upon to make the exemption available. See Item 701(d) of Regulation S-K. We also
note that you indicate that you relied upon Regulation D. However, you have not filed a Form D. Please advise.
Part II, Item 15 has been revised to
disclose the exemption relied upon by the Company and to briefly state the reasons for such reliance. Pursuant to Question 257.07 of
the Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations on Regulation D, it is our understanding that the filing of a Form D is not a
condition to the availability of the exemptions in Rule 506 of Regulation D. Nevertheless, in order to provide the relevant
disclosure, the Company has filed two Form D’s with respect to the offers made pursuant to Regulation D as described in Part
II.
We trust that the above is responsive to your comments.
Should you have any questions relating to the
foregoing or wish to discuss any aspect of the Company’s filing, please contact me at 646-838-1310.
Sincerely,
/s/Ross Carmel
