the website and when those sales were made. We also note your statement in your
response that “none of the funds referenced as having been raised on the website were
actually raised through the website.” Please address this statement in your prospectus
disclosure.
3.We note your response to comment one that “[t]he website did not make a distinction
between the Sponsor and the SPAC as separate entities and, as such reads as an offer of
the Company’s securities. The Company acknowledges that the website may have been in
violation of the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933….” Revise your prospectus to
further address the potential ramifications to the company. Clearly indicate the potential
risks to the company from these actions. For example, does the SPAC have other sources
of funds and can the Sponsor lend additional funds to the company.
4.We note your statement that “[t]he website presented statements about the Company that
are factually inaccurate.” Please revise to address what statements on the website were
factually inaccurate.
5.We note your statement in your response to comment one that “investors were provided
documentation making it clear that they were investing in the Sponsor and not in the
Company.” Supplementally provide us with the documentation given to the investors.
Also clarify in your document when the documentation was provided to the investors.
6.We note your response to comment two. Please revise your disclosure to indicate when
the offering started and when the offering ended. Indicate the total amount raised to date
under the offering. Additionally, clarify how many membership interests were sold and
the percentage these individuals hold in your Sponsor (99 Acquisition Sponsor LLC). We
note that your website had stated that the investors would hold “total equity given to the

7.We note your response to comment three. Please revise your prospectus to clearly indicate
that the funds raised by the Sponsor from the investors, as noted in the prior website, of
approximately $4.8 million is currently being held by the Sponsor.
8.We note that your website indicated that both Peter Lacey and Usha Chaudhary are also
co-founders of 99 Acquisition Group. We note that your Form S-1 does not mention either
of these co-founders. Please advise us why Peter Lacey and Usha Chaudhary are not
addressed in the Form S-1. Additionally, your website indicated that the investors equity
stake “funds are kept in a trust account post-IPO and will be returned to the investors if
one or more companies are not acquired within 24 months.” Advise us whether the funds
raised in the offering by the website will be comingled in anyway with the funds received
in the Form S-1 offering which will be deposited into a trust account until a business
combination target is selected.
