Request
for Acceleration of Effectiveness
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
In
accordance with Rule 461 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Ryde Group Ltd (the “Company”)
hereby requests an acceleration of the effectiveness of the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “F-1 Registration
Statement”), so that such Registration Statement will become effective at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 28, 2024 or as soon
thereafter as practicable.
The
Company also requests that the Registration Statement on Form 8-A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, covering the
ordinary shares of the Company, be declared effective concurrently with the Form F-1 Registration Statement (the Form F-1 Registration
Statement, together with the Registration Statement on Form 8-A, the “Registration Statements”).
If
there is any change in the acceleration request set forth above, the Company will promptly notify you of the change, in which case the
Company may be making an oral request of acceleration of the effectiveness of the Registration Statements in accordance with Rule 461.
The request may be made by an executive officer of the Company or by any attorney from the Company’s U.S. counsel, Sidley Austin.
The
Company understands that Maxim Group LLC, the underwriter of the offering, has joined in this request in a separate letter filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) today.
The
Company hereby acknowledges the following:
●
should
the Commission or the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”), acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing
effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;
●
the
action of the Commission or the Staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve
the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and
●
the
Company may not assert Staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission
or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
Very
truly yours,
RYDE
