Dear Mr. Levenberg:

ESGL Holdings Limited (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) hereby transmits our response to the comment letter received by us from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), dated April 17, 2023, regarding the Company’s Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form F-4 (the “Registration Statement”) previously filed with the Commission on March 27, 2023.

For the Staff’s convenience, we have repeated below the Staff’s comments in bold, and have followed each comment with the Company’s response. Changes to the Registration Statement based on the Staff’s comments are reflected in Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement (the “Amendment”) which is being filed with the Commission concurrently with the submission of this letter.

Amendment No. 2 to Form F-4

Risk Factors

Certain judgments obtained against PubCo by PubCo’s shareholders may not be enforceable, page 46

1. We note your disclosure that after the Business Combination, all of PubCo’s senior executive officers will reside outside the United States. If applicable, please identify the officers, directors, or director nominees of PubCo who reside in China or Hong Kong and disclose that it will be more difficult to enforce liabilities and enforce judgments on those individuals. For example, if applicable, revise to discuss more specifically the limitations on investors being able to effect service of process and enforce civil liabilities in China, lack of reciprocity and treaties, and cost and time constraints.

RESPONSE: The Company has added disclosure on page 46 of the Amendment in response to the Staff’s comment.
