company will be substantially similar to Amesite Parent after the Reorganization
other than the removal of the holding company structure and addition of a federal
exclusive forum provision to the certificate of incorporation. Please clarify in your
"Reasons for the Reorganization" discussion the extent to which the factors discussed will
remain the same after the Reorganization. For example, we note that, like Amesite Parent,
the company has no trading market, will have approximately the same number of
shareholders as Amesite Parent, will have substantially the same corporate

Prospectus Summary, page 1
1.We note your response to prior comment 2 regarding your reorganization transaction that
will occur prior to your initial public offering. Please explain in plain English the purpose
and effect of the reorganization. For example, it appears that the reorganization is
designed to collapse the holding company structure. It is still, however, unclear as to

outstanding between the current Amesite, Inc. (i.e. Amesite Parent) and Amesite
Operating Company upon the close of the reorganization and its initial public offering.
Please describe such differences either here or in your Description of Capital Stock.
