Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form F-4
Risk Factors
Risks Related to Chenghe and the Business Combination
The Third Extension proposed by SPAC contravenes Nasdaq rules, and as a result, could lead
Nasdaq to suspend trading..., page 94
1.We note that you are currently listed on Nasdaq and that Nasdaq Rule 5815 was
amended effective October 7, 2024 to provide for the immediate suspension and
delisting upon issuance of a delisting determination letter for failure to meet the
requirement in Nasdaq Rule IM 5101-2(b) to complete one or more business
combinations within 36 months of the date of effectiveness of its IPO registration
statement. Please disclose the risks of non-compliance with this rule, including that
under the new framework, Nasdaq may only reverse the determination if it finds it
made a factual error applying the applicable rule. In addition, please also disclose the
consequences of any such suspension or delisting, including that your stock may be
determined to be a penny stock and the consequences of that designation, that you
may no longer be attractive as a merger partner if you are no longer listed on an
exchange, any potential impact on your ability to complete an initial business
combination, any impact on the market for your securities including demand and
overall liquidity for your securities, and any impact on securities holders due to your
securities no longer being considered “covered securities.”
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, page 302
2.We note your revisions in response to prior comment 14 and reissue in part. Please
revise to discuss the related party transaction discussed on page F-105 from inception
up to the date of the registration statement.
Part II
Information Not Required in Prospectus
Item 21. Exhibits and Financial Statements Schedules, page II-1
3.We note that you deleted the Form of FST Corp. Equity Incentive Plan from your
exhibit index. However, we note your disclosure on page 99 that you intend to adopt
this plan for “key employees.” Please file this exhibit pursuant to Item 601(b)(10) of
Regulation S-K, or tell us why you do not believe it is required to be filed.
General
4.We note your revisions in response to prior comment 18 and reissue in part. We note
your disclosure on the cover page that you intend to apply for listing of the CayCo
Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq, which is defined as the “Stock Exchange.” However, we
also note your defined term on page 12 that “Stock Exchange” means the NYSE or
Nasdaq. Please revise throughout the filing to clearly state the stock exchange that you
intend to list the CayCo Ordinary Shares. Further, we note your disclosures in the
redemption tables that, assuming no redemptions, FST Advisor will hold 3.25% of
CayCo. However, we note your other disclosures outside of the redemption tables that
this percentage is 3.42%. Please revise throughout the filing to reconcile this
discrepancy.

5.We note your revisions on pages 166 and 179 through 183 in response to prior
comment 19 and reissue in part. Please make appropriate revisions throughout the
prospectus to address the federal income tax consequences of the de-SPAC
transaction to (i) the SPAC, (ii) the target company, and (iii) target security holders,
including in your Questions and Answers about the Business Combination and the
Extraordinary General Meeting and Risk Factors sections.
6.Please revise the filing to discuss the information contained in Chenghe Acquisition I
Co.'s current report on Form 8-K, filed on October 29, 2024.
