Form 20-F for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023
General
1.Based on the information provided in the response and in previous correspondence,
we do not necessarily agree with your view that time deposits held by the Company
may be treated as “cash items” for purposes of section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”). Please confirm your
understanding of the same.
2.The staff notes the Company’s representations regarding future changes to its
portfolio holdings, including the representation that the Company will not renew
existing time deposits with a maturity of not more than three months. On the basis of
these representations, and apart from comment one above, the staff has no further
questions or comments with respect to the Company’s time deposit holdings.

3.In future filings, to the extent applicable, please include a risk factor disclosing risks
related to the Company potentially operating as an “investment company” under the
Investment Company Act. Please ensure that the risk factor, among other things, (i)
discloses, with appropriate specificity, why the Company may be at risk of being
considered an investment company and (ii) describes the consequences to the
Company if it were deemed to be an unregistered investment company. Please ensure
that the Company addresses, for example, the risk that the Company would be subject
to penalties and that the Company could be unable to enforce certain contracts.
Furthermore, to the extent the Company continues to hold substantial positions in
time deposits on a consolidated basis, please ensure the risk factor disclosure (A)
notes the same, (B) reflects comment number one above and (C) addresses the risk
that such time deposits may deemed to be “investment securities” within the meaning
of the Investment Company Act.
