Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-4
Filed August 9, 2021
File No. 333-256875
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is being submitted
on behalf of Amplitude Healthcare Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) in response to the comments of the staff (the “Staff”)
of the Office of Life Sciences of the Division of Corporation Finance of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission with respect
to the Company’s Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4, filed on August 9, 2021 (the “Second Amended Registration
Statement”), as set forth in the Staff’s letter dated August 17, 2021 to Bala Venkataraman, Chief Executive Officer of the
Company (this “Comment Letter”). The Company is concurrently filing its Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement (the
“Third Amended Registration Statement”), which includes changes to reflect responses to the Staff’s comments and other
updates.
For reference purposes, the
text of this Comment Letter has been reproduced and italicized herein with the response below the numbered comment. Unless otherwise indicated,
the page references in the description of the Staff’s comment refer to the Second Amended Registration Statement, and the page references
in the response refer to the Third Amended Registration Statement. Where appropriate, the Company has responded to the Staff’s comments
by making changes to the disclosure in the Third Amended Registration Statement. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Third Amended Registration Statement. The response provided herein is based upon information
provided to Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP by the Company.
On behalf of the Company,
we advise you as follows:
Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus
Jasper, page 22
1.
From your disclosure on pages 197 and 199, it appears that your clinical trial for JSP191 for the treatment of MDS/AML is an ongoing Phase 1 trial that is currently enrolling a Phase 1b dose expansion and your clinical trial for JSP191 for the treatment of SCID is an ongoing Phase 1/2 trial that will complete enrollment by the end of 2022. Given that disclosure, it appears that you should revise the pipeline table here and on page 189 to shorten the corresponding boxes to no longer than the middle of Phase 1, rather than the end of Phase 1, for the MDS/AML trial and the beginning of Phase 2, rather than the end of Phase 2, for the SCID trial. Please also review the current status of your product candidates that are shown in the pipeline table to have completed the preclinical phase and revise the pipeline table as appropriate. We also note that your milestone column indicates that the next milestone for JSP191 for the treatment of MDS/AML is completion of study enrollment of a Phase 1/2 trial. Please revise or advise.
Response: The Company
respectfully advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on pages 24 and 191 of the Third Amended Registration Statement in
response to the Staff’s comment.

Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-4
Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus
Jasper, page 22
1.From your disclosure on pages 197 and 199, it appears that your clinical trial for JSP191
for the treatment of MDS/AML is an ongoing Phase 1 trial that is currently enrolling a
Phase 1b dose expansion and your clinical trial for JSP191 for the treatment of SCID is an
ongoing Phase 1/2 trial that will complete enrollment by the end of 2022. Given that
disclosure, it appears that you should revise the pipeline table here and on page 189 to
shorten the corresponding boxes to no longer than the middle of Phase 1, rather than the
end of Phase 1, for the MDS/AML trial and the beginning of Phase 2, rather than the end
of Phase 2, for the SCID trial. Please also review the current status of your product
candidates that are shown in the pipeline table to have completed the preclinical phase and
revise the pipeline table as appropriate. We also note that your milestone column indicates

financial information and its reasonableness.

success rates for each of the pre-commercialization products, and if so, why.

how management and the Board relied upon the forecasts and how the determined that they are reasonable, particularly in light of the
length of the forecasts and since Jasper is a clinical stage company with limited operations and no approved products. Specifically,
address the reliability of the projections related to the later years presented.

to us the extent you have considered providing separate forecasted financial information for each group of product candidates based on
their stage of development.

board of directors in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination. AMHC management reviewed the financial forecasts
provided by Jasper management early in the course of the parties discussions (and such financial forecasts are being supplementally
furnished to the Staff), but this projected financial information provided by Jasper reflected what AMHC believed to be an upside
case and AMHC believed that the AMHC Forecasts, a revised set of forecasts with different assumptions, would be more appropriate for
the AMHC Board to consider in connection with evaluating the Business Combination, and as a result the Jasper forecasts were not
provided to the AMHC Board. The Company has revised the disclosure in the Amended Registration Statement to reflect what it believes to
be the material assumptions and estimates with respect to the AMHC Forecasts, so that investors may appropriately evaluate these
forecasts.

the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment.

new Jasper Common Stock outstanding following the consummation of the Business Combination. We note your adjustment (L) on page 165. In
your response, please provide the number of Former Jasper Series A-1 and Series A-2 preferred shares outstanding prior to the conversion,
conversion ratio used, and the number of New Jasper Shares converted for Series A-1 and Series A-2 preferred shares, respectively.
Response: The
Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on page 173 of the Amended Registration Statement in
response to the Staff’s comment to include in Footnote (5) of Note 1 to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
statements a table reflecting the computation of Former Jasper shares converted to the new Jasper Common Stock outstanding following
the consummation of the Business Combination. The table includes the information about the number of Former Jasper Series A-1 and
Series A-2 preferred shares outstanding prior to the conversion, the conversion ratio used, and the number of New Jasper Shares
converted for Series A-1 and Series A-2 preferred shares, respectively.

17. We also note on page F-93 that the conversion rate of Jasper’s Series A-2 redeemable preferred
stock can be reduced to 4% if the Company terminates the Amgen license agreement, or Amgen is pursuing a clinical development of an anti
c-kit antibody. Please expand your disclosure to describe how these conditions would have impacted the conversion of the preferred stock
and the related net loss per share calculation.
Response: The Company
respectfully advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure in Note 1 to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
on page 173 of the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment to describe why only the conversion rate of
8% for Jasper’s Series A-2 redeemable preferred stock was used in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
The Company further respectfully
advises the Staff that the conversion rate adjustment is not related to the Business Combination; rather, it is contingent on events that
are not probable to occur prior to the Closing of the Business Combination. However, if the conversion rate were to be reduced to 4%,
it would not impact the total number of New Jasper Common Stock shares issued to Former Jasper stockholders. If a 4% conversion rate was
applicable, Amgen, the Series A-2 preferred stockholder, would receive half of the number of New Jasper Common Stock shar

•Describe the process undertaken to formulate the forecasts and assumptions and the

Jasper's revenue growth rates, operating costs, product pricing, gross margins, etc.
and the limitations of the forecasts. Provide investors with sufficient information to
evaluate the forecasted financial information and its reasonableness.
•Explain how you arrived at the probability of regulatory approval and the nature of
such adjustment and whether you applied the same regulatory success rates for each
of the pre-commercialization products, and if so, why.
•Explain how management and the Board relied upon the forecasts and how they
determined that they are reasonable, particularly in light of the length of the
forecasts and since Jasper is a clinical stage company with limited operations and no
approved products. Specifically, address the reliability of the projections related to
the later years presented.
•Explain to us the extent you have considered providing separate forecasted financial
information for each group of product candidates based on their stage of
development.

Dear Ms. Geddes:
Amplitude Healthcare Acquisition Corporation
(the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) hereby transmits its response to the comment
letter received from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”),
dated November 13, 2019, regarding the Amendment No. 1 to Form S-1 filed November 6, 2019 and Amendment No. 2 to Form S-1 filed
November 8, 2019.
For the Staff’s convenience, we have
repeated below the Staff’s comments in bold, and have followed each comment with the Company’s response.
Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1
Exhibits
1. We note that the form of warrant agreement filed as Exhibit 4.4 provides that the company agrees that any action, proceeding
or claim against it arising out of or relating in any way to the agreement shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the State
of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction,
“which jurisdiction shall be exclusive.” If this provision requires investors in this offering to bring any such action,
proceeding or claim in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York, please disclose such provision in your registration statement, and disclose whether this provision applies to actions arising
under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. If the provision applies to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act,
please also add related risk factor disclosure. If this provision does not apply to actions arising under the Securities Act or
Exchange Act, please also ensure that the provision in the warrant agreement states this clearly.
We acknowledge the Staff’s comment, and Exhibit
4.4 has been revised, in Section 9.3, to remove the exclusivity of the submission to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State
of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. As revised, Exhibit 4.4 does not contain
any exclusive jurisdiction provision, including for claims that arise under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. As a result of
the foregoing revisions, we do not believe that any additional disclosure, including risk factor disclosure, is appropriate.
The revised form of warrant agreement is filed as
Exhibit 4.4 to Amendment No.3 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1.

Dear Ms. Geddes:
Amplitude Healthcare Acquisition Corporation
(the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) hereby transmits its response to the comment
letter received from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”),
dated October 9, 2019, regarding the Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on September 13, 2019.
For the Staff’s convenience, we have
repeated below the Staff’s comments in bold, and have followed each comment with the Company’s response.
Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1
Risk Factors, page 25
1. Please add a risk factor describing the risk that the low acquisition cost of the founder shares creates an economic incentive whereby your officers and directors could potentially make a substantial profit even if
you select an acquisition target that subsequently declines in value and is unprofitable for public investors. We note that
you have a risk factor on page 42 addressing the separate risk that the founder shares will be worthless if you do not
complete an initial business combination.
We have added the relevant risk factor in response
to the Staff’s comment.
Description of Securities
Exclusive forum for certain lawsuits, page 116
2. We note your disclosure that your exclusive forum
provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act. Please ensure that the
exclusive forum provision in your amended and restated certificate of incorporation states this clearly, or tell us how you will
inform investors in future filings that the provision does not apply to any actions arising under the Exchange Act.
We respectfully advise the Staff that our amended
and restated certificate of incorporation, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, will clearly state
that exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended.

Risk Factors, page 25
1.Please add a risk factor describing the risk that the low acquisition cost of the founder
shares creates an economic incentive whereby your officers and directors could potentially
make a substantial profit even if you select an acquisition target that subsequently declines
in value and is unprofitable for public investors. We note that you have a risk factor on
page 42 addressing the separate risk that the founder shares will be worthless if you do not
complete an initial business combination.
