No. 0001985139
Dear
Madam, Sirs,
This
letter is filed in response to the letter dated August 28, 2024, from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission addressed to Leishen Energy Holding Co., Ltd. (the “Company”, “we”, and “our”).
A registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”) is being filed publicly to accompany this letter.
Response
to SEC Letter dated August 28, 2024
Draft
Registration Statement filed August 16, 2024
Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Note
16 - Equity
Additional
paid-in capital, page F-28
1.
We
note your disclosure that “On March 12, 2023 and March 20, 2023, China Oil Blue Ocean and ZJY Technologies’ individual
shareholders withdrew their share capital from the companies.” You also state: “These share capital withdrawals reduced
additional paid-in capital $10,147,447, which were credited to amount due to related parties.” Please clarify why the withdrawals
are being credited to amount due to related parties. In this regard, we note that on page 138 the shareholders received ordinary
shares of Leishen Cayman in consideration for the transfer of the shareholders’ capital. Please describe your basis for accounting
for the withdrawal and the reduction of the shareholders’ ownership interest in those subsidiaries.
Response:
Please refer to the revised disclosure in the section “Related Party Transactions”.
According
to Article 226 of the Company Law of the PRC, if the registered capital of a company is reduced in violation of the provisions of such
law, the shareholders shall return the funds they received, and if the shareholder’s contribution is reduced or exempted, the original
state shall be restored; if losses are caused to the company, the shareholders and the responsible directors, supervisors and senior
managers shall bear liability for compensation. According to such provision and other related regulations, a company reducing its share
capital subscribed by a shareholder may pay consideration to such shareholder.
As
part of the corporate reorganization to prepare for this offering and listing, Leishen Cayman was incorporated, and Leishen Cayman’s
subsidiary Leishen (Holding) Hong Kong subscribed for share capital in China Oil Blue Ocean and ZJY Technologies. In conjunction with
such subscription, the registered share capital of China Oil Blue Ocean and ZJY Technologies were reduced and withdrawn by their historical
individual shareholders in March 2023, thereby reducing the Company’s consolidated additional paid-in capital by $10,147,447 in
the aggregate as at September 30, 2023. As a result, Leishen (Holding) Hong Kong became the sole shareholder of China Oil Blue Ocean
and ZJY Technologies.
Such
amount of $10,147,447 became payable to the previous shareholders of China Oil Blue Ocean and ZJY Technologies and their assignees, which
constitutes a withdrawal of share capital by them. Specifically, $5,980,153 became payable to Hongqi Li and $4,036,942 became payable
to Hongliang Li. Since Hongqi Li and Hongliang Li are both the related parties of the Company, such withdrawals were therefore credited
to the Company’s “Amount due to related parties” balance.
In
accordance with Chinese regulatory requirements, China Oil Blue Ocean and ZJY Technologies have completed their registrations with the
competent market supervision and administration departments for such share capital reductions. Since repayment of the amounts due requires
sufficient cash and would affect the Company’s cash flow, management of the Company determined that the balance will be paid in
the future depending on the Company’s future operations and cash flow status. Hongqi Li and Hongliang Li have provided a written
letter of undertaking, appended to the Registration Statement as Exhibit 99.8, stating that after receiving each repayment from China
Oil Blue Ocean or ZJY Technologies, they will reinvest an equivalent amount in the Company in a lawful and compliant manner.
We
hope this response has addressed all of the Staff’s concerns relating to the comment letter. Should you have additional questions
regarding the information contained herein, please contact our outside securities counsel Huan Lou, Esq. at hlou@srfc.law or (646) 810-2187
or David Manno, Esq. at dmanno@srfc.law or (212) 981-6772, of Sichenzia Ross Ference Carmel LLP.
Very
truly yours,
