Re: Rumble Inc.
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024
File No. 001-40079
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of our client, Rumble
Inc. (the " Company "), we submit this letter in response to the comment letter, dated April 10, 2025 (the " Comment
Letter "), from the staff (the " Staff ") of the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the above referenced
Form 10-K for the year needed December 31 2024 as filed by the Company on March 25, 2025 (the " Form 10-K "). We are
concurrently submitting this letter via EDGAR.
The Staff's comments
are summarized below in italicized text, and our responses to the Staff's comments are set out immediately under the restated comment.
Unless otherwise indicated, defined terms used herein have the meanings set forth in the Form 10-K.
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024
Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Key Business Metrics, page 43
1. You state in your risk factors that an important aspect of
your success is your ability to provide users with engaging content and if users do not continue to contribute engaging content, your
user growth, retention and engagement may decline, which could impair your ability to maintain relationships with your advertisers or
attract new advertisers, which may seriously harm your business and operating results. We note you previously provided a measure of estimated
minutes watched per month (MWPM) that you used as a "measure of audience engagement to help [you] understand the volume of users
engaged with [y]our content on a monthly basis and the intensity of users' engagement with the platform." You also previously
disclosed hours of uploaded video per day to "help [you] understand the volume of content being created and uploaded to [you] on
a daily basis." Considering the success of your business appears to be impacted by your users engaging with your content, please
tell us why you stopped providing these two measures. Explain what measures management currently uses to monitor content creation and
engagement, and tell us your consideration to include a quantified discussion of such measures for each period presented. Refer to SEC
Release No. 33-10751.
Response : The Company announced
in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2024 that:
Given our focus on monetization of
our user base in 2024, we plan to disaggregate our revenue into additional categories later in the year. We also plan to introduce a new
key business metric, Average Revenue Per User ("ARPU"), for certain revenue categories later in 2024. We believe this ARPU
measurement best reflects the focus of our management team, and, accordingly, over time we intend to phase out the reporting of estimated
MWPM and hours of uploaded videos per day. (p. 26)
Brussels
Chicago Dallas Frankfurt Houston London Los Angeles Milan
Munich
New York Palo Alto Paris Rome San Francisco Washington
The Company included similar disclosure
in its Q1 earnings release dated May 14, 2024. Subsequently, in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June
30, 2024, the Company reported ARPU for the first time for Q2 2024, together with historical quarterly ARPU for the preceding three fiscal
quarters for comparative purposes. In reporting MWPM for the final time, the Company stated in its Form 10-Q:
As described above, we introduced a
new key business metric, ARPU, this quarter that we believe better reflects the focus of our management team given the current stage of
our business. Accordingly, this is the last quarter we plan to report estimated MWPM. (p.28)
Similar disclosure is contained
with respect to hours of uploaded video per day:
As described above, we introduced a
new key business metric, ARPU, this quarter that we believe better reflects the focus of our management team given the current stage of
our business. Accordingly, this is the last quarter we plan to report the number of hours of uploaded video per day. (p.29)
The Company thereafter has reported
ARPU for Q3 and Q4 2024, and included a quantified discussion of such measures in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly
period ended September 30, 2024 and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Unlike MWPM and hours of uploaded
video per day, the Company believes ARPU best captures the use and monetization of its entire platform, including engagement primarily
through advertising, creator sponsorships and subscriptions.
In addition to ARPU, the Company continues
to use and report monthly active users ("MAUs") in its SEC periodic reports, which it has done since its public listing in
2022, and includes a quantified discussion of MAUs in its quarterly MD&A. As stated in the Form 10-K, the Company uses MAUs as a measure
of audience engagement to help the Company understand the volume of users engaged with its content on a monthly basis. The Company believes
that ARPU together with MAUs best reflect the Company's ability to attract, retain, engage and monetize its users, and thereby drive
revenue, and collectively represent the "limited set of critical variables which presents the pulse of the business" as stated
in SEC Release No. 33-10751. The KPI framework of publicly reporting ARPU and
monthly active users is consistent with the practices of other media and technology companies (see, e.g., Pinterest, Inc. and Snap Inc.)
as well as the expectations of the investment community.

Revenues, page

2. You state the increase in Audience Monetization revenues
was mainly due to higher revenue in subscriptions, tipping fees, licensing, platform hosting and advertising. In addition, you indicate
that the increase in Other Initiative revenue was mostly due to more advertising inventory being monetized by your publisher network
and an increase in cloud services offered. Where a material change is attributed to two or more factors, including any offsetting factors,
the contribution of each identified factor should be described in quantified terms. Accordingly, please revise to quantify the impact
of factors affecting fluctuations in your revenue. In your response, please provide us with a breakdown of revenue for each period presented
from each of the products and services noted herein. Additionally, refrain from using terms such as "mostly" and "mainly"
in lieu of providing more specific quantitative disclosure. Refer to Item 303(b) of Regulation S-K, and your response to comment 45 in
your May 12, 2022 letter.
Response : The Company acknowledges
the Staff's comments and has made revisions to the disclosure on page 46 of the Form 10-K, as shown below. The Company would propose
to include this level of additional detail in future applicable filings, beginning with the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025.
"Revenues
Revenues increased by $14.5 million
to $95.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, of which $10.3 million was attributable
to an increase in Audience Monetization revenues and $4.2 million was attributable to higher Other Initiatives. The increase in Audience
Monetization revenues was due to $8.5 million in subscriptions as well as $1.8 million from tipping fees,
licensing, platform hosting, and advertising. The increase in Other Initiative revenue was due to $3.0 million more advertising
inventory being monetized by our publisher network and $1.2 million in cloud services offered."

3. You state that the CODM assesses performance and decides
how to allocate resources based on net loss as reported in the consolidated statements of operations. Please tell us how you considered
the guidance in ASC 280-10-50-29(f) and the example at 280-10-55-54(c) to discuss how the CODM uses this measure in assessing performance
and deciding how to allocate resources or consider revising.
Response : The Company acknowledges
the Staff's comments and has revised the first paragraph of Note 20, Segment and Geographic Information, on page F-39 of the Form
10-K, as shown below. The Company would propose to include this additional information in future applicable filings, beginning with the
Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025.
"20. Segment
and Geographic Information
The Company operates as one operating
segment. The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its chief executive officer, who reviews financial
information presented on a consolidated basis to make decisions regarding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The CODM assesses
performance and decides how to allocate resources based on net loss and is reported on the consolidated statements of operations as consolidated
net loss. Net loss is used to monitor budget versus actual results in an effort to refine forecasts, control costs, and pricing
strategies . The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset information."

In connection with its response
to the Staff's comments, the Company acknowledges that the Company and its management are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy
of its disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the Staff. Should you have any questions regarding
any of the foregoing, please do not hesitate to contact Sean M. Ewen of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, the Company's legal counsel,

Form S-1
Filed October 19, 2022
File No. 333-267936
Dear Ms. Barone and Ms. Woo:
On behalf of Rumble Inc. (the “Company”),
in this letter, we are responding to the comment letter received from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), on November 1, 2022, regarding the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to Registration
Statement on Form S-1, File No. 333-267936, filed with the Commission on October 19, 2022 (the “Registration Statement”).
For the Staff’s convenience, we have repeated below
the Staff’s comment in bold, and have followed the Staff’s comment with the Company’s response. Disclosure changes made
in response to the Staff’s comments have been made in Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Amendment”),
which is being filed with the Commission contemporaneously with the submission of this letter.
Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1
filed October 19, 2022

For each of the securities being registered for resale, disclose the price that the selling securityholders paid for such securities.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment
and appropriate disclosure has been added to the cover page as well as pages 27 and 28 of the Amendment.
2.
Disclose the exercise price(s) of the warrants compared to the market price of the underlying securities. Based on the market price of your Class A Common Stock on October 18, 2022, your warrants appear to be out of the money. If the warrants are out the money, please disclose the likelihood that warrant holders will not exercise their warrants. Provide similar disclosure in the prospectus summary, risk factors, MD&A and use of proceeds section and disclose that cash proceeds associated with the exercises of the warrants are dependent on the stock price. As applicable, describe the impact on your liquidity and update the discussion on the ability of your company to fund your operations
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and
appropriate disclosure has been added to the cover page and pages 7, 28, 29 and 53 of the Amendment.
Risk Factors, page 8
3.
Include an additional risk factor highlighting the negative pressure potential sales of shares pursuant to this registration statement could have on the public trading price of the Class A common stock. To illustrate this risk, disclose the purchase price of the securities being registered for resale and the percentage that these shares currently represent of the total number of shares outstanding. Also disclose that even though the current trading price is below the SPAC IPO price, the private investors have an incentive to sell because they will still profit on sales because of the lower price that they purchased their shares than the public investors.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment
and appropriate disclosure has been added to the cover page and pages 7, 27 and 28 of the Amendment.
General
4.
Please file a dated legal opinion as an exhibit to the registration statement.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment
and a dated legal opinion has been filed as Exhibit 5.1.
5.
Revise your prospectus to disclose the price that each selling securityholder paid for the securities being registered for resale. Highlight any differences in the current trading price, the prices that the Sponsor, PIPE Investors, and other selling securityholders acquired their shares and warrants, and the price that the public securityholders acquired their shares and warrants. Disclose that while the Sponsor, PIPE Investors, and other selling securityholders may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price, the public securityholders may not experience a similar rate of return on the securities they purchased due to differences in the purchase prices and the current trading price. Please also disclose the potential profit the selling securityholders will earn based on the current trading price. Lastly, please include appropriate risk factor disclosure.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment
and appropriate disclosure has been added to the cover page and pages 27 and 28 of the Amendment.

Dear Mr. Faller and Ms. Ebbertt:
On behalf of CF Acquisition Corp. VI (the “Company”
or “CF VI”), in this letter, we are responding to the comment letter received from the staff (the “Staff”)
of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), on July 29, 2022, regarding the Company’s
Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement on Form S-4, File No. 333-262725, filed with the Commission on August 1, 2022 (the “Prior
Registration Statement”).
For the Staff’s convenience, we have repeated below
the Staff’s comment in bold, and have followed the Staff’s comment with the Company’s response. Disclosure changes made
in response to the Staff’s comments have been made in Amendment No. 4 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Amendment”),
which is being filed with the Commission contemporaneously with the submission of this letter.
General
1.
Refer to your disclosure in the third to final paragraph in the Notice of Special Meeting. Where you disclose that Mr. Pavlovski will hold 85% of the voting power of the Combined Entity’s capital stock, disclose that Mr. Pavlovski will be the sole recipient of Class D shares issued at closing, the number of votes per share of the Class D Common Stock will not be determined until closing, and that the number of votes per share will be affected by the number of shares being redeemed in connection with the business combination. Also, state clearly that you are employing a novel capital structure with multiple classes of common stock and explain why the Class D Common Stock is being issued to Mr. Pavlovski with this governance structure.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment
and responsive disclosure has been added to the Notice of Special Meeting section.
Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, page 26
2.
We note your revised disclosure on page 28 indicating that because of the mandatory redemption of Class D Common stock upon the transfer of any Class A Common Stock or ExchangeCo Exchangeable Shares held by Mr. Pavlovski “the more rapidly Mr. Pavlovski will decrease his voting power upon third party transfers of Class A Common Stock or ExchangeCo Exchangeable Shares following the Closing.” Revise your disclosure to more precisely quantify how the economic ownership of Mr. Pavlovski may deviate significantly from his voting power in the Combined Entity. In doing so:
●
Please include an illustrative graph or table with specific
scenarios to show how Mr. Pavlovski's control of the company will fluctuate depending on the number of votes assigned to the Class D
Common Stock at Closing (which depends on the number of redemptions and redemption price) and the rate at which he disposes of his Class
A and Class C shares after the closing of the Business Combination. Illustrate under what circumstances Mr. Pavlovski retains majority
control of the Combined Entity after Closing. Provide this disclosure based on each of your redemption scenarios (which assume the Class
D Common Stock will be entitled to 11.250, 10.518, and 9.786 votes per share as disclosed on page 11).
●
Provide risk factor disclosure that thoroughly addresses
the potential risks and conflicts of interest presented by the ability of Mr. Pavlovski to retain majority control of the Combined Entity's
voting power while reducing, potentially significantly, his economic interest in the company’s shares.
●
Include disclosure in your “Questions and Answers About the Proposals” describing how the mandatory redemption provisions
in the Combined Entity Charter will impact Mr. Pavlovski's control over the Combined Entity in the future.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comments,
and responsive disclosure has been added to the Amendment, including on pages 12, 28-29 and 83.
3.
We note your revised disclosure on page 141 indicating that “[t]he revenue assumptions utilized in the Future Illustrative Valuation Analysis were based on the following assumptions for Rumble’s U.S. MAUs and Rumble’s U.S. Monthly ARPU as provided by Rumble.” You also state that CF&Co. used an estimate of Rumble U.S. MAUs and U.S. Monthly ARPU to “calculate Rumble's potential revenue.” You advise in response to prior comment 2 that “neither the CF VI Board nor CF&Co. relied upon any potential advertising revenue estimates not disclosed in the Amendment.” However, your disclosure does not appear to identify the actual revenue estimates that were used in the analysis. With a view towards revised disclosure, clarify how your presentation includes “Rumble's potential revenue” calculations. Specify the actual “revenue assumptions utilized” in the Future Illustrative Valuation analysis that were based on Rumble's U.S. MAUs and Rumble’s U.S. Monthly ARPU so investors can ascertain the basis for your projections.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment
and responsive disclosure has been added to pages 142-143.

No. 333-262725
Dear
Mr. Faller and Ms. Ebbertt:
On
behalf of CF Acquisition Corp. VI (the “Company” or “CF VI”), in this letter, we are responding
to the comment letter received from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”),
on July 29, 2022, regarding the Company’s Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form S-4, File No. 333-262725, filed with
the Commission on July 15, 2022 (the “Prior Registration Statement”).
For
the Staff’s convenience, we have repeated below the Staff’s comment in bold, and have followed the Staff’s comment
with the Company’s response. Disclosure changes made in response to the Staff’s comments have been made in Amendment No.
4 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Amendment”), which is being filed with the Commission contemporaneously
with the submission of this letter.
Summary
of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, page 26
1.
Highlight the unique nature
of the combined company’s proposed share structure and the associated risks. For example, disclose that because the number
of votes per share of Class D common stock will not be determined until after the shareholder vote, shareholders will not be able
to assess certain aspects of the ownership structure. Additionally, disclose how the number of shareholder redemptions will impact
the votes per share of the Class D common stock and could affect the CEO’s future ability to receive an increased economic
benefit from selling his Class A and C shares while maintaining control of the Company through the super-voting Class D shares.
Response:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and appropriate disclosure has been added to page 28.
Certain
Forecasted Information for Rumble, page 141
2.
We note your response to
prior comment 6. You disclose that the Future Illustrative Valuation Analysis was prepared using the information regarding Rumble’s
advertising revenue potential provided to CF VI by Rumble and made available to the CF VI Board which represented “a range
at the lower end of the potential advertising revenue estimates provided by Rumble.” The assumption for Rumble’s U.S.
Monthly ARPU is disclosed as between 38 and 76 percent of the leading streaming platform’s estimated U.S. Monthly ARPU. Please
clarify how you determined this range was at the “lower end” of the potential revenue estimates. Disclose any separate
“potential advertising revenue estimates provided by Rumble” that were relied upon by the Board or CF&Co. or advise.
We also note your disclosure that the estimates provided by Rumble included certain discounts, based on the revised footnote. To
help investors understand the impact of the discounts, include the actual U.S. MAUs and Monthly ARPU estimates provided or advise.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised the disclosure in the Amendment as described below:
● In
response to the Staff’s comment “[p]lease clarify how you determined this range
was at the ‘lower end’ of the potential revenue estimates,” the reference
to the ‘lower end’ of potential advertising revenue estimates has been deleted
from page 141.
● In
response to the Staff’s comment “[t]o help investors understand the impact of
the discounts, include the actual U.S. MAUs and Monthly ARPU estimates provided or advise,”
the disclosure in the bullets entitled “Rumble’s U.S. MAUs” and “Rumble’s
U.S. Monthly ARPU” on pages 141-142 has been revised to include the range of U.S. MAU
and Monthly ARPU estimates provided by Rumble to CF VI and to clarify the range of U.S. MAUs
and Monthly ARPUs used in the analysis.
● In
response to the Staff’s comment “[d]isclose any separate ‘potential advertising
revenue estimates provided by Rumble’ that were relied upon by the Board or CF&Co.
or advise,” the Company advises the Staff that neither the CF VI Board nor CF&Co.
relied upon any potential advertising revenue estimates not disclosed in the Amendment.
3.
We note your response to
prior comment 7. Advise if there were any general macroeconomic assumptions used to produce the analyses, further to our prior comment
asking about the reference to “assumptions concerning general business and economic conditions” on page 143. Include
any specific assumptions in your disclosure.
Response:
CF&Co. has advised the Company, and the Company supplementally advises the Staff, that CF&Co. did not prepare and present any
analyses which incorporated any alternative macroeconomic scenarios. Accordingly, no additional disclosure has been added to page 143.
General
4.
We note your response to

Dear Mr. Lutnick:
We have reviewed your amended registration statement and have the following
comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we
may better understand your disclosure.
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your

Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed on July 15, 2022
Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, page 26
1.Highlight the unique nature of the combined company's proposed share structure and the
associated risks. For example, disclose that because the number of votes per share of
Class D common stock will not be determined until after the shareholder vote,
shareholders will not be able to assess certain aspects of the ownership structure.
Additionally, disclose how the number of shareholder redemptions will impact the votes
per share of the Class D common stock and could affect the CEO's future ability to receive
an increased economic benefit from selling his Class A and C shares while
maintaining control of the Company through the super-voting Class D shares.

2.We note your response to prior comment 6. You disclose that the Future Illustrative
Valuation Analysis was prepared using the information regarding Rumble’s advertising
revenue potential provided to CF VI by Rumble and made available to the CF VI Board
which represented "a range at the lower end of the potential advertising revenue estimates
provided by Rumble." The assumption for Rumble's U.S. Monthly ARPU is disclosed
as between 38 and 76 percent of the leading streaming platform's estimated U.S. Monthly
ARPU. Please clarify how you determined this range was at the "lower end" of the
potential revenue estimates. Disclose any separate "potential advertising revenue
estimates provided by Rumble" that were relied upon by the Board or CF&Co. or advise.
We also note your disclosure that the estimates provided by Rumble included certain
discounts, based on the revised footnote. To help investors understand the impact of the
discounts, include the actual U.S. MAUs and Monthly ARPU estimates provided or

Re:
CF Acquisition Corp. VI
Registration Statement on Form S-4
Initially Filed February 14, 2022
File No. 333-262725
Dear Ms. Ebbertt and Mr. Faller:
On behalf of CF Acquisition Corp. VI (the “Company”
or “CF VI”), in this letter, we are responding to the comment letter received from the staff (the “Staff”)
of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), on July 8, 2022, regarding the Company’s Amendment
No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-4, File No. 333-262725, filed with the Commission on May 13, 2022 (the “Prior Registration
Statement”).
For the Staff’s convenience, we have repeated below
the Staff’s comment in bold, and have followed the Staff’s comment with the Company’s response. Disclosure changes made
in response to the Staff’s comments have been made in Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Amendment”),
which is being filed with the Commission contemporaneously with the submission of this letter.
Q: What interests do CF VI’s current officers and
directors have in the Business Combination?, page 16
1.
We note your disclosure on page 192 of approximately $234,000 outstanding under the Working Capital Loans. Clarify, if true, that the Working Capital Loans were made by the Sponsor and are included in the aggregate loan amount of $1,983,691 disclosed here or advise.
Response: The Company respectfully advises that each of the
Sponsor Loan and the Working Capital Loans were made by the Sponsor, and that the amount outstanding under the Working Capital Loan (approximately
$234,000 as of March 31, 2022 and $423,353 as of June 30, 2022) is included in the aggregate loan amount ($1,983,691 as of March 31, 2022
and $2,173,363 as of June 30, 2022). The disclosure on pages 17 and 191, among others, has been clarified accordingly.
Forward Purchase Contract, page 31
2.
We note your disclosure on page 129 that the “1,500,000 Forward Purchase Shares are subject to a lock-up until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination.” We also note that Section 5.2 of Exhibit 10.8 provides for a lock-up period of one year or sooner if the last reported sale price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the merger, among other things. Please advise or revise this apparent inconsistency accordingly.
Response: The Company respectfully advises that the definition
of “Forward Purchase Shares” in the Forward Purchase Contract only covers 375,000 shares of Class A Common Stock being acquired
pursuant to the Forward Purchase Contract, whereas the definition of “Forward Purchase Shares” in the Amendment covers all
1,875,000 shares of Class A Common Stock being acquired pursuant to the Forward Purchase Contract (including the 1,500,000 shares of Class
A Common Stock underlying the “Units” as defined in the Forward Purchase Contract and described below).
Pursuant to Section 5.2.1 of the Forward Purchase Contract
and as described on page 129 of the Amendment, 375,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (i.e., those shares defined as the “Forward
Purchase Shares” in the Forward Purchase Contract) are subject to a one year lock-up (with certain early release triggers as described
on page 129 of the Amendment).
The remaining 1,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock being
acquired pursuant to the Forward Purchase Contract are being acquired as a constituent part of the 1,500,000 “Units” (as such
term is defined in the Forward Purchase Contact) the Sponsor agreed to acquire pursuant to the Forward Purchase Contract. Pursuant to
Section 5.2.2 of the Forward Purchase Contract and as described on page 129 of the Amendment, the Units (and their constituent parts,
consisting of 1,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 375,000 Warrants) are subject to a 30 day lock-up.
We note that because the CF VI Units are being separated
into their constituent parts prior to the completion of the Business Combination, for the sake of clarity, rather than referring to Forward
Purchase Shares and Units (as such terms are defined in the Forward Purchase Contract), the Amendment refers only to shares of Class A
Common Stock (all 1,875,000 of which are defined in the Amendment as “Forward Purchase Shares”) and Warrants, including those
securities underlying the Units (as defined in the Forward Purchase Contract).

We note your disclosure that Rumble expects it may be difficult to extend or renew cybersecurity insurance beyond its current term. Revise to disclose if Rumble expects this will have an adverse impact on its business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment
and the disclosure on page 56 has been revised accordingly.
Rumble derives a substantial portion of its revenue from advertising
and its relationships with a small number of key. . . , page 63
4.
We note your disclosure on page 226 that a “few customers” accounted for 56% of Rumble’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 91% of Rumble’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Update your risk factor disclosure here to include any additional customers or networks on which Rumble is substantially dependent. Please disclose the material terms of any related agreement(s) and file a copy as an Exhibit to your registration statement. Refer to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comments
and the disclosure on pages 63-64 has been revised accordingly, and an additional Exhibit 10.9 has been filed with the Amendment.
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
Note 2 - Transaction Accounting Adjustments
Adjustment (AA), page 105
5.
We note your revised disclosures and response to prior comment 10; however, we are still unable to reconcile the number of Rumble Shareholder shares in the tables on page 106 and 87 to the number of shares shown in the table on page 14. Please provide us with a quantitative analysis that reconciles the number of Rumble Shareholder shares on pages 14, 87 and 106. Also, ensure that all reconciling differences are properly disclosed in the footnotes to each of the tables.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comments
and the disclosure on pages 14 and 87 have been revised accordingly.
With respect to the Rumble Shareholder shares noted on page
106 as of December 31, 2021, we note that the 155,792,140 share number reflects the number of shares of Class A Common Stock held by the
Rumble Shareholders, assuming all ExchangeCo Exchangeable Shares have been exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock. As noted
in footnotes 2 and 3 of the table, this amount excludes 1,100,000 restricted shares of Class A Common Stock that will be issued to Chris
Pavlovski as well as 76,410,222 Forfeiture Escrow Shares. This amount also excludes the Base Option Shares and Tandem Option Earnout
Shares issuable upon the exercise of Exchanged Rumble Options held by the holders.
With respect to the Rumble Shareholder shares noted on page
106 as of March 31, 2022, we note that the 156,158,807 share number reflects the number of shares of Class A Common Stock held by the
Rumble Shareholders, assuming all ExchangeCo Exchangeable Shares have been exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock. As noted
in footnotes 2 and 3 of the table, this amount excludes 733,333 of the 1,100,000 restricted shares of Class A Common Stock that will be
issued to Chris Pavlovski as well as 76,410,222 Forfeiture Escrow Shares. This amount also excludes the Base Option
Shares and Tandem Option Earnout Shares issuable upon the exercise of Exchanged Rumble Options held by the holders.
2
With respect to the Rumble Shareholder shares on page 87,
we note that 233,302,362 share number reflects the number of shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Rumble Shareholders, assuming
all ExchangeCo Exchangeable Shares have been exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock (i.e., similar to the approach taken on page
106 above), which includes the 76,410,222 Forfeiture Escrow Shares that are not included in the calculation on page 106 as described above
(because, for purposes of the pro forma calculation set forth on page 106, such shares are deemed to be contingently issuable shares under
ASC 260, and as such, are excluded from the calculation set forth on page 106). The Forfeiture Escrow Shares are included on page
87 because as explained in footnote 4, the holders of Forfeiture Escrow Shares are deemed to be
beneficial owner of these shares with the right to vote and receive any dividends, distributions and other earnings and as such, are deemed
to be outstanding shares.. This amount also includes the 1,100,000 restricted shares for of Class A Common Stock that will
be issued to Chris Pavlovski which as explained in footnote 3 Mr. Pavlovski will have all the
rights of a stockholder as to the restricted shares of Class A Common Stock, including the right to vote such shares during the period
of vesting and as such are deemed to be outstanding shares. This amount excludes Base Option Shares and Tandem Earnout Shares
issuable upon Exchanged Rumble Options held by the holders.
With respect to the Rumble Shareholder shares noted on page
14, we note that the initial 215,595,168 share number reflects the number of shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Rumble Shareholders,
assuming all ExchangeCo Exchangeable Shares have been exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock, plus 1,100,000 restricted shares of
Class A Common Stock that will be issued to Chris Pavlovski. This amount also includes 58,703,028 Base Option Shares issued upon
the conversion in full of all Exchanged Rumble Options, but excludes 28,589,778 Tandem Option Earnout Shares issuable upon the conversion
of all Exchanged Options and 76,410,222 Forfeiture Escrow Shares.
Certain Forecasted Information for Rumble, page 141
6.
We note your response to prior comments 13 and 14. We further note your disclosure that “In evaluating Rumble, CF VI received (i) information on Rumble’s existing user base, (ii) Rumble’s estimates of its ability to penetrate the U.S. online advertising market and Rumble’s estimated levels of advertising revenue per user, and (iii) Rumble’s estimates around the size of the market for U.S. advertising revenue per user in the U.S.” As previously requested: (1) clarify who prepared this information and advise whether this information is summarized on page 141 in the section entitled “Future Illustrative Valuation Analysis; and (2) to the extent this information has not been disclosed, include a summary of any material estimates and other information that were provided so that shareholders/investors can gain an understanding of the materials the CF VI Board considered in making its determination.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comments
and the disclosure on pages 141-142 has been revised accordingly.
7.
We note your response to prior comment 15 and reissue the comment in part. Disclose whether there were any quantitative metrics or other factors used to select the comparable companies beyond the qualitative attributes you list. We note your response that CF&Co. based its valuation analyses on “assumptions concerning general business and economic conditions and industry-specific factors.” Provide a summary of these assumptions in your registration statement. Further, disclose if any companies meeting the selection criteria were excluded, as previously requested, or confirm that none were excluded.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comments
and the disclosure on page 143 has been revised accordingly. In addition, the Company supplementally advises the Staff that CF&Co.
has advised that there were no specific quantitative benchmarks or ranges applied to select the comparable companies, and that no companies
identified by CF&Co. consistent with the categories disclosed on page 142 were excluded from the Comparable Company Analysis based
on undisclosed criteria or categorization. As disclosed in the Amendment, CF&Co. reiterated that none of the public companies used
in the Comparable Company Analysis described above are identical to Rumble. Additionally, as disclosed in the Amendment, selected comparable
companies involved companies at a more advanced stage of development than Rumble. Accordingly, an analysis of publicly traded comparable
companies is not mathematical; rather it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning the differences in financial and operating
characteristics of the companies and other factors that could affect the value of Rumble and the public trading values of the companies
to which they were compared. Accordingly, as disclosed in the Amendment, the analyses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the
prices at which any securities may trade at the present time or at any time in the future.
8.
Clarify whether CF&Co.’s engagement and compensation for preparation of the Future Illustrative Valuation Analysis, the Comparable Company Analysis and the Precedent Transaction Analysis is part of its M&A advisory role (for its engagement as exclusive financial advisor) or business combination marketing role (for its engagement to provide “certain investment banking and other services”).
Response: CF&Co. prepared the Future Illustrative Valuation
Analysis, the Comparable Company Analysis and the Precedent Transaction Analysis utilizing information provided by Rumble and publicly
available information pursuant to its role as the Company’s M&A advisor. Additional disclosure clarifying the foregoing has
been added to pages 32 and 136 of the Amendment.

We note your response to prior comment 36. To help investors understand Rumble’s business, clarify whether the “significant investments in IT equipment, servers, bandwith and data centers and data hosting/storage” represent current investments that Rumble is making or future business plans or both.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment

18.With a view toward disclosure, please tell us whether your sponsor is, is controlled by, or
has substantial ties with a non-U.S. person. Please also tell us whether anyone or any
entity associated with or otherwise involved in the transaction, is, is controlled by, or has
substantial ties with a non-U.S. person. If so, also include risk factor disclosure that
addresses how this fact could impact your ability to complete your initial business
combination. For instance, discuss the risk to investors that you may not be able to
complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company should the
transaction be subject to review by a U.S. government entity, such as the Committee on
Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited. Further,
disclose that the time necessary for government review of the transaction or a decision to
prohibit the transaction could prevent you from completing an initial business
combination and require you to liquidate. Disclose the consequences of liquidation to
investors, such as the losses of the investment opportunity in a target company, any price
appreciation in the combined company, and the warrants, which would expire worthless.
19.We note that your forum selection provision in Section VIII of your Second Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation identifies a state court located within the State of
Delaware (or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the
federal district court for the District of Delaware) as the exclusive forum for certain
litigation, including any “derivative action.” Please add a risk factor related to this
provision and disclose whether this provision applies to actions arising under the
Securities Act or Exchange Act. Please also state that there is uncertainty as to whether a
court would enforce such provision. If the provision applies to Securities Act claims,
please also state that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws
and the rules and regulations thereunder. In that regard, we note that Section 22 of the
Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits
brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and
regulations thereunder.

Re: CF Acquisition Corp. VI
Registration Statement on Form S-4
Initially Filed February 14, 2022
File No. 333-262725
Dear Ms. Ebbertt and Mr. Faller:
On behalf of CF Acquisition Corp. VI (the “Company”),
in this letter, we are responding to the comment letter received from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), on June 3, 2022, regarding the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to Registration
Statement on Form S-4, File No. 333-262725, filed with the Commission on May 13, 2022 (the “Prior Registration Statement”).
For the Staff’s convenience, we have repeated below
the Staff’s comment in bold, and have followed the Staff’s comment with the Company’s response. Disclosure changes made
in response to the Staff’s comments have been made in Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Amendment”),
which is being filed with the Commission contemporaneously with the submission of this letter.
Q: What are the material terms of the Forfeiture Escrow
Shares and Tandem Option Earnout Shares?, page 12
1.
We note your response to prior comment 4 and disclosure that the Tandem Option Earnout Shares will be “treated substantially the same as the Forfeiture Escrow Shares.” Clarify this statement by describing whether the Tandem Option Earnout Shares are also subject to an escrow period. Disclose any differences in the triggering events or clearly state, if true, that the Earnout Terms for the Tandem Option Earnout Shares are the same as the Earnout Terms for the Forfeiture Escrow Shares.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment
and the disclosure on pages 12, 13 and 117 has been revised accordingly.

To the extent material, disclose any new or heightened risk of potential cyberattacks by state actors or others since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and whether you have taken any actions to mitigate such potential risks.

and take action to mitigate all potential cyber threats.

Note 2 - Transaction Accounting Adjustments
Adjustment (D), page 99
8.
Your disclosures on page 130 appear to indicate that the repurchase of the Class C shares via the Share Repurchase Agreement was negotiated to provide liquidity to Mr. Pavlovski in order to enable the purchase of the Class D shares under the Key Individual Subscription Agreement. You also disclose that the purchase price of the Class D shares was in recognition of the relatively small cash compensation historically paid to Mr. Pavlovski as CEO of Rumble. Please provide us with your accounting analysis that supports your accounting treatment of these transactions within your pro forma financial statements. Specifically, tell us how you considered whether these transactions should be reflected as stock-based compensation expense under ASC 718 and/or a capital contribution from Mr. Pavlovski, and refer to the specific guidance relied upon in your analysis. Additionally, explain the reason for the significance difference in the price per share for the Class D common stock to be issued and the Class C common stock to be repurchased.
Response: The Company advises the Staff that the disclosure
on page 130 of the Prior Registration Statement provides that the repurchase arrangement, which involves the repurchase of ExchangeCo
Exchangeable Shares from Mr. Pavlovski (and the redemption of a corresponding number of “stapled” non-economic Class C voting
shares) – rather than the purchase price of the Class D shares – was in recognition of the relatively small cash compensation
historically paid to Mr. Pavlovski. The disclosure on page 135 has been revised to further clarify this language. In addition, the disclosure
on page 31 has been revised to indicate that Mr. Pavlovski intends to use $1,000,000 of the total $11,000,000 repurchase proceeds to purchase
the Class D shares under the Key Individual Subscription Agreement.
To be clear, the $11,000,000 repurchase from Mr. Pavloski
is being done in his capacity as a stockholder. The $10.00 per share repurchase price for the ExchangeCo Exchangeable Shares is equal
to the $10.00 per share price in the PIPE Investment (with “stapled” non-economic Class C voting shares being repurchased
at nominal par value). Separate and apart from the repurchase agreement, the $1,000,000 total purchase price for the “high vote”
Class D shares being purchased under the Key Individual Subscription Agreement was determined on an arm’s length basis with input
from a third party valuation firm. Because the Class D shares have no economic rights, their value solely results from their voting rights;
however, since Mr. Pavlovski cannot transfer the Class D shares to third parties other than Permitted Transferees under his control, the
value of the Class D shares is limited. The parties agreed on a $1,000,000 total value for all of the “high vote” Class D
shares.
In light of the above facts, these transactions should be
not reflected as stock-based compensation expense under ASC 718 and/or a capital contribution from Mr. Pavlovski.
Adjustment (Z), page 101
9.
We note your revised disclosures and response to prior comment 23, as well as the disclosure on page 124, which indicates that 4,172,969 Sponsor shares are subject to forfeiture and cancellation. Please explain why all of the Sponsor shares subject to forfeiture and cancellation are not excluded from your pro forma net loss per share calculation. Please also ensure your disclosures in pro forma footnote (Z) clearly explain which Sponsor shares are or are not included in this calculation.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment.
The 4,172,969 total Sponsor shares subject to forfeiture comprise of the sum of 1,963,750 shares of Class A Common Stock, plus up to 2,209,219
additional shares of Class A Common Stock (such additional number of shares calculated upon Closing pro rata, based on a fraction, the
numerator of which will be the CF VI Available Cash and the denominator of which will be $400,000,000). As such, with respect to the 2,209,219
shares, none will be subject to forfeiture in the “No Redemption” scenario, 759,419 will be subject to forfeiture in the “Intermediate
Redemption” scenario and 1,518,838 will be subject to forfeiture in the “Maximum Redemption” scenario based on the Available
Cash at Closing in each of the redemption scenarios.
The Sponsor shares that are subject to forfeiture in each
of the redemption scenarios are excluded in the pro forma net loss per share calculation, and as such, a footnote in Adjustment (AA) has
been added to clearly state the number of Sponsor shares that are excluded from the calculation.

10.
We note your revised disclosures and response to prior comment 24. Revise to disclose that the Forfeiture Escrow shares are excluded from the pro forma EPS calculation and disclose why they are excluded. Additionally, disclose the number of Forfeiture Escrow Shares included (or excluded) in each of the tables on pages 14, 86 and 101 so that a reader can better understand the difference in total Rumble shares presented in each of these tables.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment.
A footnote has been added in the pro forma EPS calculation on page 106 to disclose the number of Forfeiture Escrow Shares, which are deemed
to be contingently issuable shares under ASC 260, and as such, are excluded in the calculation.
Additionally, the number of Forfeiture Escrow Shares on pages
14 and 88 have been revised accordingly.
Sponsor Support Agreement
11.
We note your response to prior comment 11. Clarify, if true, that the additional Sponsor shares subject to potential forfeiture will be determined by a calculation equal to one minus the fraction you disclose multiplied by 2,209,219.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment
and confirms that the number of additional Sponsor shares subject to potential forfeiture will equal 2,209,219 x (1 minus the quotient
of the CF VI Available Cash (as defined in the Amendment) divided by $400,000,000). The disclosure on page 129 has been clarified accordingly.
Background of the Business Combination, page 126

We note your response to prior comment 32. Please disclose the “certain” terms that were renegotiated between Rumble and Cosmic, to the extent material. Additionally, in your discussion of the Cosmic Agreements on page 227, identify the term and termination provisions for the A&R Cosmic Agreements. Further, clarify, if true, that the entity you refer to as Cosmic Development on page 2 is Kosmik Development Skopje doo, as disclosed in Exhibit 10.10.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment
and the disclosure on pages 136 and 238 has been revised accordingly.
Certain Forecasted Information for Rumble, page 136
13.
We note your revised disclosure on page 136 stating that “CF&Co. and the CF VI Board reviewed the Future Illustrative Valuation Analysis, the Comparable Company Analysis and the Precedent Transaction Analysis.” Clearly identify the party or parties that prepared each of these three analyses. Tell us if a report, opinion or appraisal materially relating to the transaction was received from an outside party and, if so, revise to summarize the analyses and provide disclosure consistent with Item 4(b) of Form S-4 and Item 1015 of Regulation M-A.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment
and the disclosure on page 136 has been revised to clarify that CF&Co. prepared each of the Future Illustrative Valuation Analysis
utilizing information provided by Rumble regarding Rumble’s potential monetization of advertising revenues and subscriber base,
the Comparable Company Analysis utilizing publicly available information and the Precedent Transaction Analysis utilizing publicly available
information. In connection with such analyses, additional disclosure consistent with Item 4(b) of Form S-4 and Item 1015 of Regulation
M-A has been added to page 144.
As described on, among others, pages 18 and 36, the Company
did not obtain a fairness opinion from any outside party relating to the transaction. In addition, no similar form of report or appraisal
was obtained, and disclosure specifying such has been added accordingly.
14.
We note your disclosure that “CF VI received” certain information on Rumble’s existing user base, advertising market penetration, and estimated levels of advertising revenue per user, among other things, which in the initial registration statement was referred to as the “Future Illustrative Valuation Analysis.” Clarify who prepared this information and advise whether this information is summarized on page 136 in the section entitled “Future Illustrative Valuation Analysis.” To the extent this information has not been disclosed, include a summary of any material estimates and other information that were provided so that shareholders/investors can gain an understanding of the materials the CF VI Board considered in making its determination.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff comment and
notes that, as disclosed in Response #13 above and as clarified in the Amendment, CF&Co. prepared the Future Illustrative Valuation
Analysis. The information on which the Future Illustrative Valuation Analysis was based was received from Rumble and publicly available
information. The disclosure on page 141 has been updated accordingly.

We note your response to prior comment 35. Identify the party responsible for selecting the companies for the Comparable Company Analysis. Disclose if there were any criteria used to exclude companies from the analysis and if any companies meeting the selection criteria were excluded. Further, disclose if there were any quantitative metrics or other factors used to select the comparable companies beyond the qualitative attributes you list. Please also tell us your basis for determining the Diversified Technology Comparable Group companies met your stated selection criteria of online platforms for content distribution and monetization that are similar to Rumble.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment
and notes that, as disclosed in Response #13 above and as clarified in the Amendment, CF&Co. prepared the Comparable Company Analysis.
In addition, CF&Co. selected the companies used in the Comparable Company Analysis based on criteria that it deemed relevant to an
analysis of Rumble. The disclosure on page 142 of the Amendment has been updated accordingly. CF&Co. based its valuation analyses
on assumptions that it deemed reasonable, including assumptions concerning general business and economic conditions and industry-specific
factors. The Diversified Technology Company Group companies, while operating numerous other businesses, were included, among other reasons,
because they operate businesses that provide video streaming platforms to con

and usage-based royalty exception applies to the license of intellectual
property, advertising revenue would not qualify for that exception. It would appear that
revenue from your advertising arrangements may be recognized as usage occurs per ASC
606-10-32-40. Please advise or revise.
27.We note that you are the principal in your advertising arrangements; however, on page F-
34 you state that revenue is recorded at the "net sales price" for advertising contracts.
Please clarify what you mean by net sales price. In this regard, in your response to prior
comment 52 you indicate that video advertising revenues are shared with content creators
at a rate of 60% of net earnings. Please tell us whether this revenue is recorded at 100%,
60% or 40% and tell us where the content creators share is recorded. In this regard, we
note that the advertiser appears to be your customer and the content creator a supplier (i.e.
a cost of revenue).

23.We note that in the post-transaction ownership chart on page 12 you exclude the stock
held by the Sponsor that is subject to forfeiture and cancellation under each of your
scenarios based on the Sponsor Support Agreement. However, in your disclosure of pro
forma shares on page 79 you have included these shares in full in each scenario, thus
assuming none of them are forfeited. Please explain the basis for reflecting these shares
differently in your two disclosures, and tell us why they should not also be excluded from
the pro forma share calculations.
24.We note you have included the Forfeiture Escrow Shares held by Rumble shareholders
that will be subject to earnout milestones in your calculation of pro forma outstanding
shares. Please tell us why you believe these shares should be included in pro forma shares
as it does not appear that they qualify as issued and outstanding shares until the earnout
milestones are met. Refer to ASC 260-10-45-12C and -13. Please also tell us how you
intend to account for these shares, how they are reflected within your pro forma financial
statements, and cite the specific accounting guidance you relied on to reach your
conclusions.
25.We note your calculation of pro forma shares excludes the grant of 1.1 million restricted
shares of Class A common stock to Mr. Pavlovski. Please revise to clarify whether these
are restricted stock awards (RSAs) or restricted stock units (RSUs), and whether they will
qualify as issued and outstanding shares upon grant. In this regard, we note that the terms
of your RSAs as disclosed on page 149 appear to qualify them as issued and outstanding
shares of common stock upon issuance. If the terms of these awards will qualify them as
issued and outstanding, please revise to include them in your calculation of pro forma
shares.

by Rumble shareholders of 232,202,361. As part of your response, tell us whether the
number of shares outstanding presented on the September 30, 2021 balance sheet is
presented in thousands.

30.Please explain your basis for including adjustment (T) in both the September 30, 2021 and
December 31, 2020 pro forma statements of operations. In this regard, we note
that statement of operations adjustments are reflected as if the transaction had been
consummated on January 1, 2020 and therefore it appears that adjustment (T) should only
be reflected in the pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31,

executive officers or Board members that were present or are referenced, or confirm that
you mean all members of the board or executive officers, as applicable. In addition,
please expand the description of the transaction timeline to include any relevant disclosure
to address:
•whether the Sponsor and management and affiliates have a track record with SPACs
and, if so, balanced disclosure about this record and the outcomes of the prior
transactions;
•whether the Sponsor has other SPACs in the process of searching for a target
company and whether the Sponsor considered more than one active SPAC to be the
potential acquirer and how the final decision was reached;
•the underlying reason why the earnout shares, shares subject to forfeiture by the
Sponsor, and Class D Common Stock were negotiated;
•the terms of Rumble's relationship with Cosmic that were negotiated;
•any discussions relating to the assumptions underlying any projections provided by

VI (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) hereby transmits
the Company’s response to the comment letter received from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), on December 1, 2020, regarding the Draft Registration Statement

For the Staff’s

response. Disclosure changes made in response to the Staff’s comments have been made in the Registration Statement on Form
S-1 (the “Registration Statement”), which is being filed with the Commission contemporaneously with the submission

Draft Registration Statement on Form
S-1
Initial Business Combination, page
6
1. You state in the second paragraph, "We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business
combination with a business that is affiliated with Cantor or its affiliates or our sponsor, officers or directors, including an
Affiliated Joint Acquisition," which term is described on page 7 to include a co-investment with, or a "specified future
issuance" of securities to, entities affiliated with Cantor. Tell us with a view toward disclosure here and throughout the
prospectus, whether it is possible that you would consider an Affiliated Joint Acquisition with one or more Prior Cantor SPACS,
CF Finance Acquisition III, or any other SPACs affiliated with you or Cantor. We may have additional comments in this regard. Please
also clarify what impact, if any, a co-investment by a Cantor affiliate in your initial business combination would have on the
conversion of the Class B shares. We understand that if the company makes a "specified future issuance" of securities
to a Cantor affiliate, the number of shares into which the Class B shares convert would increase in order to maintain an interest
equal to 20% of the public shares plus the securities issued in the specified future issuance. Finally, revise disclosures throughout
your prospectus regarding potential conflicts of interest with respect to Cantor SPAC I and Cantor SPAC II to describe potential
conflicts with respect to CF Finance Acquisition III and any other Cantor-affiliated SPACs.
Response: We have added a disclosure
in the prospectus that, while we may pursue a business combination opportunity jointly with Cantor or one or more entities affiliated
with Cantor (which we refer to as an “Affiliated Joint Acquisition”) we do not expect that we would pursue any
such opportunity with a Prior Cantor SPAC.
Please be advised that we have
also added disclosure that any securities issued in connection with a financing provided by an affiliate of ours relating to an
Affiliated Joint Acquisition will not result in an adjustment to the conversion ratio of our Class B common stock.
Lastly, the prospectus has been
revised to disclose potential conflicts with respect to Prior Cantor SPACs as requested.
