Third Comment Letter

Amendment No. 2 to Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1

Description of Capital Stock, page 79

1.

Please revise to disclose provisions set forth in your amended and restated articles of incorporation regarding business combinations with interested shareholders. In addition, we note your disclosure that your amended and restated articles of incorporation and your amended and restated bylaws provide that, unless otherwise prescribed by law, only a majority of your Board or the chairman of your Board may call special meetings of your shareholders. However, this does not appear to be consistent with Section 5.3 of your form of amended and restated articles of incorporation filed as Exhibit 3.1. Please revise.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has included the requested disclosure regarding business combinations with interested shareholders in the Registration Statement under the heading “Description of Capital Stock—Anti-Takeover Effect of Certain Provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws—Business Combinations with Interested Shareholders” and has revised the disclosure regarding the authority to call special meetings of shareholders under the heading “Description of Capital Stock—Shareholder Meetings” to be consistent with its form of amended and restated articles of incorporation.

Additional Comment Letter

Response letter dated April 23, 2024

General

1.

We note your response to prior comment 2, including your proposed draft disclosure regarding your forum selection provision. Please revise your disclosure to state whether the provision is intended to select the High Court of the Republic of the Marshall Islands as the exclusive forum for any derivative action alleging a violation of the Securities Act or Exchange Act, if permitted by law.

The Company advises the Staff that the Registration Statement includes revised disclosure with respect to its forum selection provision that is materially consistent with the Proposed Changes.

The Company further advises the Staff that, in response to the Staff’s comment above, the Company has included clarifying disclosure in the Registration Statement to state that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company has selected the High Court of the Republic of the Marshall Islands as the exclusive forum for any derivative action alleging a violation of the Securities Act or Exchange Act. The foregoing clarifying disclosure appears in the Registration Statement under the headings “Risk Factors—Our amended and restated articles of incorporation include forum selection provisions for certain disputes between us and our shareholders, which could limit our shareholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees,” “Risk Factors—We may not achieve the intended benefits of having forum selection provisions if they are found to be unenforceable,” and “Description of Capital Stock—Forum Selection.”
