Dear Ms. Reed and Mr. King:

This letter is in response to the letter dated July 17, 2024, from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) addressed to Epsium Enterprise Limited (the “Company”, “we”, or “our”) relating to Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form F-1 filed with the Commission on June 25, 2024 (the “Original Registration Statement”) in connection with its application for a listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Proposed Listing”). For ease of reference, we have recited the Commission’s comments in this response and numbered them accordingly. Amendment No. 4 to the Registration Statement on Form F-1 (“Amendment No. 4”) is being filed to accompany this letter.

1. We note that disclosure regarding additional cash transfers between the Operating Entity and Epsium BVI in 2024 has been added to pages 5 and 94. Please revise to disclose these transfers on the prospectus cover page as well.

Response:

We acknowledge the Staff’s comments and respectfully inform you that we have incorporated the requested disclosure and made additional revisions in Amendment No. 4 to streamline the relevant sections, avoid repetition, and enhance clarity.

Explanatory Note, page i

2. Your statements here that, “the sales of our Ordinary Shares registered in this registration statement will result in two offerings by the Registrant taking place concurrently or sequentially,” and on the IPO prospectus cover page that, “The Resale Shareholders are offering 1,159,534 Ordinary Shares in aggregate to be sold in the offering pursuant to the Resale Prospectus,” are inconsistent with the disclosure on the resale prospectus cover page that the resale offering is separate from the IPO and that Resale Shareholders may only offer shares once the ordinary shares sold in the IPO begin trading on Nasdaq. You also indicate here that the Resale Shareholders have communicated potential intent to sell resale shares “immediately after the pricing of the public offering.” Please revise throughout to characterize the primary and resale offerings as separate and to consistently indicate, if true, that the resale offering may only occur once the IPO has been consummated and your shares are listed on Nasdaq.

Response:

We acknowledge the Staff’s comments and respectfully inform you that we have corrected the inconsistency in Amendment No. 4 to clarify that the two offerings are separate, with the resale offering being contingent upon the IPO shares trading on Nasdaq.

General

We note your addition of the resale prospectus to the registration statement. Please provide us with a detailed analysis as to why you believe that the resale transaction is appropriately characterized as a secondary offering, rather than a primary offering in which the Resale Shareholders are acting as conduits in a distribution to the public and are therefore underwriters selling on your behalf. Include the following information in your analysis:

● Provide additional detail regarding the background and nature of the transactions by which the Resale Shareholders came to acquire the shares they beneficially own, including how the price was determined. Confirm whether the Resale Shareholders are the “two minority shareholders” to which 69 shareholders transferred all of their shares on June 1, 2023, per page II-1, and if so, explain why such transfers occurred.

● Clarify whether the lead underwriter for the IPO had any role in, or direct or indirect participation in, facilitating the primary sales of shares to the Resale Shareholders.

● Explain why you elected to include a resale component at this time and how you determined the number of shares to be sold through the resale offering relative to the primary offering.

● Explain the nature of the Resale Shareholders’ businesses and how and when they were selected to participate in the resale offering.

● Confirm whether the Resale Shareholders are subject to any type of lock-up or leak-out arrangement, and if not, explain why that is the case and clarify whether the underwriter sought to have the Resale Shareholders subject to lock-up provisions.

● Tell us why the underwriter believes it will be able to successfully place the securities to be sold in the IPO and facilitate the creation of a public market in your securities, despite the availability of shares that the Resale Shareholders could attempt to offer and sell into the market once trading commences. In this regard, we note your disclosure that, “The Resale Shareholders have represented to the Registrant that they will consider selling some or all of their respective Ordinary Shares registered pursuant to this registration statement immediately after the pricing of the public offering, as requested by the underwriters for the public offering in order to create an orderly, liquid market for the Ordinary Shares.” Explain why the underwriters have “requested” that a market for the ordinary shares be facilitated through the resale offering rather than solely through the firm commitment IPO.

Response:

The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and respectfully submits that the proposed resale of the Company’s ordinary shares by the selling shareholders (each a “Seller Shareholder,” and collectively, the “Selling Shareholders”), including (i) Dragon Rise Development Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Dragon Rise”) that is 100% owned by Chi Seng Lou (“Lou”), and (ii) Golden Gradon Development Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Golden Gradon”) that is 100% owned by Xing Hong Ma (“Ma”), as contemplated in the Registration Statement (the “Resale Offering”) is not an indirect primary offering and is appropriately characterized as a secondary offering under Rule 415(a)(1)(i) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Rule 415(a)(1)(i) provides that securities may be registered for an offering on a continuous or delayed basis in the future provided, among other things, that the registration statement pertains only to securities which are to be offered or sold solely by or on behalf of a person or persons other than the registrant, a subsidiary of the registrant or a person of which the registrant is a subsidiary. With respect to the Registration Statement, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is offering securities under the Registration Statement, nor is the offering being made on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

In making this determination, the Company analyzed, among other factors, the guidance set forth in Securities Act Rules Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, Question 612.09 (the “C&DI 612.09”), which identifies six factors to be considered in determining whether a purported secondary offering is really a primary offering, and offer the following discussion for the Staff’s consideration:

Background

From September 8 to September 16, 2021, the Company sold a total of 6,002,670 ordinary shares to 75 shareholders, including Lou and Ma, at a price of $0.02 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of US$120,053.40 pursuant to private place subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”)1, relying on the safe harbor contained in Regulation S under the Securities Act. As part of the foregoing offerings, Lou purchased 198,000 shares for US$3,960.0 on September 9, 2021, and Ma purchased 296,890 ordinary shares for US$5,937.8 on September 15, 2021.

On June 1, 2023, 69 shareholders transferred all of their respective shares, a total of 5,302,780 Ordinary Shares, to Lou and Ma at a price of US$0.02 per share, for an aggregate total of $106,055.60. Lou acquired 2,809,680 ordinary shares for a total of US$56,193.60 and Ma acquired 2,987,990 ordinary shares for a total of US$59,759.80, respectively, in these transactions.

On February 8, 2024, the Company effectuated a share reduction through a series procedure under Cayman Islands law and reduced the total number of issued shares held by each shareholder of the Company to 20% (or 1/5) of such shareholder’s shareholding before share reduction (the “Share Reduction”). As a result of the Share Reduction, the total number of issued shares of the Company reduced from 60,002,670 ordinary shares to 12,000,534 ordinary shares, with a par value of US$0.00002 per share, and the total number of ordinary shares held by (i) Lou, directly then, was reduced to 561,936, which shares have been indirectly and beneficially owned by him since May 31, 2024 through Dragon Rise Development Limited, a British Virgin Islands company that is 100% owned by Lou, and (ii) Ma, directly then, was reduced to 597,598, which shares have been indirectly and beneficially owned by him since May 31, 2024 through Golden Gradon Development Limited, a British Virgin Islands company that is 100% owned by Ma.

Lou is the founder and current CEO of Xiyizhi Trading Company Ltd., a Macau based company specializing in the export, import, sales and distribution of food, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Mr. Lou has been an Administrative Assistant at Companhia de Comercio Luz Limitada, or Luz, our operating subsidiary in Macau, since July 1, 2019. Mr. Lou is married to our independent director nominee, Ms. Ut Ha Lei.

Ma is the founder and current CEO of Anjunda Guangzhou Trading Co., Ltd., a leading retail and wholesale alcohol supplier located in Guangzhou, China.

The inclusion of the Resale Offering was initially proposed by the Resale Shareholders to the Company. Each Resale Shareholder expressed to the Company his desire to sell his ordinary shares of the Company in accordance with his own investment objectives and circumstances.

Factor 1: How long the Selling Shareholders have held the securities.

Reflecting the effect of the Share Reduction on the number of shares, Lou has held (i) 39,600 ordinary shares for more than three years since September 9, 2021 and (ii) 522,336 ordinary shares for more than 1 year since June 1, 2023, and Ma has held (i) 59,378 ordinary shares for more than 3 years since September 15, 2021 and (ii) 538,220 ordinary shares for more than one year since June 1, 2023.

Accordingly, each of Lou and Ma has borne the credit and market risk of his investment in the Company prior to the filing of the Registration Statement. The length of time that each of Lou and Ma has held his shares demonstrates that each of them acquired such shares with an intention to hold them as an investment and not as underwriters with an intent to distribute them.

Factor 2: The circumstances under which the Selling Shareholders received the securities.

As outlined in Factor 1, each Selling Shareholder purchased the Company’s ordinary shares in bona fide Regulation S transactions with the intent of holding them as an investment, rather than participating in an underwritten offering, and without then or subsequently entering into any underwriting relationships or arrangements with the Company. Neither Selling Shareholder has received any commission or other payment from the Company in connection with the resale of any of their securities, and the Company will receive no proceeds from the resale of the ordinary shares, if any, by the Selling Shareholders. Additionally, for the ordinary shares purchase
