Re: Ispire Technology Inc.
Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed March 17, 2023
File No. 333-269470
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Ispire Technology Inc. (the
“Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) hereby transmits the Company’s
response to the comment letter received from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “Commission”), on March 17, 2023, regarding the Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement on Form S-1, File No.
333-269470 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Commission March 17, 2023.
For the Staff’s convenience,
we have repeated below the Staff’s comments, and have followed each comment with the Company’s response.
Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed March
17, 2023
Risk Factors, page 12
1. We note your disclosure includes certain changes to the offering; however, the filing has not been revised to reflect all of the changes.
For example, on page 31, you disclose that all of the shares sold in the offering will be freely transferable without restriction or further
registration under the Securities Act, which appears inconsistent regarding the shares sold in this offering that will be held by the
Chief Financial Officer. In addition, on page 54, the percentages of the Company's common stock to be owned by Mr. Liu and Ms. Zhu upon
completion of this offering, 59.4% and 4.5%, respectively, do not appear revised. Please revise the filing to make the changes as appropriate
throughout the filing.
Response: The registration statement has been
revised to reflect that any shares in the offering sold to affiliates are not freely transferable, but are subject to Rule 144 and any
lock-up agreements. We have also corrected the ownership percentage.
Dilution, page 36
2. We note disclosure that a $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price would increase the dilution per share to
new investors by approximately $0.05, after deducting the underwriters' discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.
Please explain how the increase in the dilution per share to new investors of $0.05 was computed. Also revise "increase" of
the dilution to "increase (decrease)".
Response: The dilution section has been revised to reflect that a $1.00
change in the offering price will result in an increase (decrease) of approximately $0.05 in the net tangible book value per share and
an increase (decrease) in the dilution to the public investors of approximately $0.95. The following table shows the computation,
