Dear
Ms. O’Brien:
As
counsel for the Company and on its behalf, this letter is being submitted in response to the letter dated December 5, 2024 from the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in which the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) commented
on the above-referenced Form 20-F for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 20-F”).
For
the Staff’s convenience, the Staff’s comment has been stated below in its entirety, with the Company’s response set
out immediately underneath such comment.
Form
20-F for the 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.
Response:
The Company respectfully submits to the SEC that it notes the SEC’s view above.
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.
Response:
The Company respectfully submits to the SEC that it notes the above.
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.
Response:
The Company respectfully submits to the SEC that it notes the above and will include the applicable risk factor in its future
filings.
