File No. 333-280591
Dear John Lipman:
We have reviewed your amended registration statement and have the following
comments.
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing
the requested information. If you do not believe a comment applies to your facts and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your
response.
After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information
you provide in response to this letter, we may have additional comments. Unless we note
otherwise, any references to prior comments are to comments in our October 17, 2024 letter.
Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement on Form S-4
Any extension of the Completion Window beyond November 30, 2024..., page 55
1.We note your disclosure regarding the consequences of any suspension or delisting of
your securities. Please also disclose the impact of any such suspension or delisting on
the parties' rights under the Business Combination Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization. In that regard, we note the closing condition that the shares of Roth
CH Acquisition V Co. shall be listed on Nasdaq, or another national securities
exchange mutually agreed to by the parties, as of the closing date. In addition, please
clarify the references to "November 20" as the date the 36-month window ends. In
that regard, we note your disclosure that your securities will be suspended and delisted
if you do not complete your business combination by November 30, 2024.

Anti-takeover provisions in our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws...,
page 60
2.Please ensure that your disclosure regarding the corporate governance documents of
the Combined Company is consistent with such documents. For example, we note
your disclosure that the corporate governance documents of the Combined Company
will include a forum selection clause, “which means certain litigation against [you]
can only be brought in Delaware.” However, it does not appear that such forum
selection clause is set forth in the proposed bylaws filed as Exhibit 3.6 or the proposed
articles of incorporation filed as Exhibit 3.7. Please advise.
Proposal 2: The Business Combination Proposal
Recommendation of the ROCL Board of Directors and Reasons for the Business
Combination, page 114
3.We note your updated disclosure on pages 117, 120 and 121 indicating that the
projections were prepared assuming the new processing plant will commence
operations by Q2 of 2025. However, this updated projection does not appear to be
consistent with the timing in which the projections were prepared by New Era
Helium’s management. In this regard, disclosure on page 120 indicates that the
projections have not been updated. Therefore, please revise your disclosure so that it
reflects the assumption applicable to the date in which the projections were prepared.
Proposal 7: The Management Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, page 136
4.Please revise here and throughout your filing to disclose the number of shares to be
reserved for future issuance under the Combined Company’s proposed 2024 Stock
Incentive Plan. In that regard, we note your references to “[1,500,000]” shares.
Description of the Combined Company's Securities, page 206
5.We note your response to prior comment 8, and the proposed bylaws of the Combined
Company filed as Exhibit 3.6. Please disclose the provisions in the proposed bylaws
regarding the rights of shareholders to call a special meeting and the quorum required
for the transaction of business at meetings of shareholders.
Index to Financial Statements, page F-1
We have considered your response to prior comment 24 in our letter dated July 26,
2024. We understand from your response that Roth CH V Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings")
was formed on June 24, 2024 by Roth CH Acquisition V Co. ("ROCL") "for the
specific purpose of engaging in the business combination transaction." However, it
does not appear that Holdings has met the criteria to be considered a business
combination related shell company because it was formed by an entity that is a shell
company. We also note that Holdings is expected to succeed to the accounts of ROCL
and New Era Helium Corp. in the transaction that is being contemplated. Therefore,
your next amendment should include audited financial statements of Holdings as of a
date within 135 days of the filing to comply with Rule 8-02 of Regulation S-X. You
may omit a statement of comprehensive income for the entity if income and expense 6.

an audited note.
