8, 2024 Notice Letter also related to your failure to meet the requirements set forth in Nasdaq Rule IM 5101-2(b) to complete one or more
business combinations within 36 months of the date of effectiveness of your IPO registration statement or if you have received an additional
delisting determination letter from Nasdaq and (iii) that Nasdaq may only reverse the determination to delist Finnovate’s securities

Response to the Staff’s Comments on
Registration Statement on Form F-4 Filed on October 18, 2024 (File No. 333-281332)
Ladies and Gentlemen,
On behalf of our client, Scage Future, a foreign
private issuer incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”) and Scage International Limited, a
company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Co-registrant”), we are hereby submitting to the staff
(the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) this letter setting forth
the Company’s responses to the comments contained in the Staff’s letter dated October 28, 2024 on the Company’s Amendment
No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form F-4 filed with the Commission on October 18, 2024 (the “Second Amended Registration Statement”).
Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company is filing amendment no. 3 to Registration Statement on Form F-4 (the “Third
Amended Registration Statement”) with the Commission. To facilitate your review, we have separately emailed you a courtesy copy
of the Third Amended Registration Statement, marked to show changes to the Second Amended Registration Statement.
The Staff’s comments are repeated below in
bold and are followed by the Company’s responses. We have included page references in the Amended Registration Statement where the
disclosure addressing a particular comment appears. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth
in the Registration Statement.
Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on
Form F-4 filed on October 18, 2024
General
1. We note you are planning to request effectiveness of your Form F-4 registration statement before completing the CSRC process. Please
confirm in writing that you will notify us promptly of any changes to your disclosure regarding or requested by the CSRC.
Response: The Company undertakes to notify
the Commission promptly of any changes to its disclosure in the registration statement on Form F-4, as amended, regarding or requested
by the CSRC.

2. We note your disclosure that there is still uncertainty as to whether you will be able to complete the Trial Measures filings process
with the CSRC, and you are required” to complete the filing with the CSRC for the Business Combination... prior to the listing of
PubCo ADSs and the Assumed Warrants.” Please clarify, if true, that you will not complete the business combination without first
receiving CSRC approval under the Trial Measures. Include this disclosure in the summary section where regulatory approvals are discussed
starting on page 18 and revise the risk factor disclosure on page 50 under the Trial Measures discussion. In addition, tell us how you
plan to notify investors about receiving the CSRC approval.
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 19 and 52 of the Third Amended Registration Statement. The Company respectfully
submits that the Company plans to notify investors about receiving the CSRC approval through a prospectus supplement to the registration
statement on Form F-4 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3).
3. We note footnote 1 on page F-29. Please tell us what consideration was given to disclosing these loans to third parties pursuant
to Item 1603(a)(6) of Regulation S-K.
Response: In response to the
Staff’s comment, the Company respectfully clarifies that the transactions described on page F-29 did not represent any
compensation that has been or will be awarded to, earned by, or paid to the SPAC sponsor, its affiliates, and any promoters. Since
July 2023, Scage International has provided multiple non-interest bearing loans to a couple of third-party borrowers
(“Borrowers”), in order to facilitate the Business Combination. The aggregate balance was approximately $1,409,774 as of
June 30, 2024. There were arrangements in place between parties and those loans are expected to be repaid by the Borrowers to Scage
International within one year from the remittance date of each loan.
4. We note your response to comment 2. If true, please revise to clearly state that the subscription agreements satisfy the closing
condition that the cash proceeds from the PIPE Investment shall not be less than an aggregate of $15 million. We further note the disclosure
on page viii in the definition of PIPE Investment that “[a]s of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, none of Finnovate,
PubCo and Scage International has entered into any PIPE subscription agreements with respect to potential PIPE Investment.” Please
revise or clarify.
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on the cover page and pages viii, 15 and 106 of the Third Amended Registration Statement.

and the Extraordinary General Meeting
Dilution, page xxi
5. We have reviewed your disclosures made in response to comment 5. Refer to the table on page xxi and address the following:
● Refer to the line item, potential source of dilution. Provide a subnote
to the table stating the reasons why no share transactions are provided, similar to the disclosure provided in the narrative on page xxii
as pertaining to the June 2023 Note and the compensation fee due to 3A Partners. For example, we note you include the related $400,000
compensation payable to 3A Partners as a cash adjustment to the amount of net tangible book value, rather than as being settled by conversion
into shares of equity. Please disclose or advise accordingly.
● Refer to the line item description, fully diluted shares outstanding as
of June 30, 2024, and revise to indicate this is Finnovate’s shares outstanding as of June 30, 2024, as adjusted. Also, double underline
this figure to show it represents the total number of shares.
● Refer
to the section of the calculation of net tangible book value and related per share amounts.
Please indicate the amounts are stated in dollars. Also, consider presenting a double underline
under net tangible book value, as adjusted to indicate this figure represents the total.
● Refer to the last line in this table, difference between offering price
and adjusted net tangible book value per share, and instead describe this line item as representing dilution and provide a subnote to
the table disclosing its calculation. Also, disclose here or within the opening paragraph that precedes the table, Finnovate’s IPO price
per share paid by the original investors.
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page xxi of the Third Amended Registration Statement.

6. We note from your disclosures on page 15 Scage International entered into subscription agreements with two investors on August
23, 2024, pursuant to which each of the investors subscribed for 1,721,171 ordinary shares of Scage International in a private placement
transaction. We also note such shares will be cancelled and converted to PubCo ADSs as part of the business combination and that the conversion
will not have dilutive impact on the shareholders of Finnovate prior to the closing as the subscribers will initially receive ordinary
shares of the Scage International and only upon closing they will convert into PubCo Ordinary shares. In this regard, please clarify if
such shares are included in the table under the 68,182,926 shares issued to shareholders of Scage in the Business Combination and if not,
revise to disclose that such shares represent a material source of potential dilution following the offering that nonredeeming shareholders
may experience. Refer to disclosure requirements in Item 1604(c) of Regulation S-K.
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page xxii of the Third Amended Registration Statement.

of June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, as the current disclosure provides three rather than two years of shares. Further, on page 31 for

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 revise to state that your securities will face immediate suspension and delisting action once you receive a delisting
determination letter from Nasdaq after the 36-month window ends on November 4, 2024.
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 71 and 72 of the Third Amended Registration Statement.

Response to the Staff’s Comments on
Amendment No. 2 to Draft Registration Statement on Form F-4 Confidentially Submitted on June 20, 2024
Ladies and Gentlemen,
On behalf of our client, Scage Future, a foreign
private issuer incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), we are hereby submitting to the staff
(the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) this letter setting forth
the Company’s responses to the comments contained in the Staff’s letter dated July 2, 2024 on the Company’s Draft Registration
Statement on Form F-4 confidentially submitted to the Commission on June 20, 2024 (the “Draft Registration Statement”).
Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company is filing its registration statement on Form F-4 (the “Registration
Statement”) and certain exhibits via EDGAR to the Commission. To facilitate your review, we have separately emailed you a courtesy
copy of the Registration Statement, marked to show changes to Draft Registration Statement, and the submitted exhibits.
The Company has included in this Registration Statement
(i) its audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and (ii) its unaudited
consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and for each of the six-month periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The
Company respectfully advises the Commission that it is submitting a representation letter filed as Exhibit 99.9 to the Registration Statement
pursuant to Instruction 2 to Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F to comply with the 15-month requirement instead of the 12-month requirement for its
financial statements.
The Staff’s comments are repeated below in
bold and are followed by the Company’s responses. We have included page references in the Registration Statement where the disclosure
addressing a particular comment appears. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Registration
Statement.

The PRC government has significant authority to
exert influence on the China operations..., page 49
1. We note the changes you made to your disclosure appearing in the risk factor section relating to legal and operational risks associated
with operating in China and PRC regulations. It is unclear to us that there have been changes in the regulatory environment in the PRC
since the amendment that was submitted on March 8, 2024 warranting revised disclosure to mitigate the challenges you face and related
disclosures. The Sample Letters to China-Based Companies sought specific disclosure relating to the risk that the PRC government may intervene
in or influence your operations at any time, or may exert control over operations of your business, which could result in amaterial change
in your operations and/or the value of the securities you are registering for sale. We remind you that, pursuant to federal securities
rules, the term “control” (including the terms “controlling,” “controlled by,” and “under common
control with”) as defined in Securities Act Rule 405 means “the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or
cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.”
We do not believe that your revised disclosure conveys the same risk. Please restore your disclosure in this risk factor to the disclosure
as it existed in the registration statement as of March 8, 2024.
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 49 of the Registration Statement.

2.We have reviewed your response to prior comment 16. Please expand disclosure in item
(ii) of the introductory paragraph to disclose that Finnovate's unaudited interim financial
statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are derived from unaudited
interim financial statements not included in the proxy statement/prospectus.
Description of Negotiations between Finnovate and Scage International, page 94
3.We note your response to prior comment 25 and reissue. Please clearly disclose the extent
to which Scage International developed or obtained multiple financial projections,
outlining the differences between those scenarios and the scenario presented. To the extent
multiple scenarios were provided to either Finnovate or ValueScope, consider disclosing
those projections.
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information
Basis of Pro Forma Presentation, page 188
4.We have reviewed your revisions made in response to prior comment 37. In the first
paragraph, please clarify in the first sentence, if true, that the pro forma financial
information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies and dis-synergies identified
by management in the business combination and that you have elected not to present any
Management Adjustments. The last sentence of this paragraph should be combined therein
with the revised disclosure. Similar revisions should be made to the disclosure in the
penultimate paragraph on page 29.
Comparative Share Information, page 195
5.We note your revisions made in response to prior comment 44. Please explain to us the
purpose for including book value per share in the table on page 196 as the measure is
presented outside of a dilution table. Assuming a satisfactory response, revise to
explain, including a description of how book value per share has been calculated. Be
advised the denominator used in determining book value per share is typically shares
outstanding as of the period presented rather than on a weighted-average basis.
Additionally, it appears the basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share shown for the
columns of Scage (Historical) and the two pro forma columns do not agree with the basic
and diluted amounts shown in the historical and pro forma statements of operations,
respectively. Please revise as appropriate.

•experience labor shortages that impact your business;

In particular, describe the significant regulatory, liquidity, and enforcement risks with

China can change quickly with little advance notice; and the risk that the Chinese
government may intervene or influence your operations at any time, or may exert more
control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based
issuers, which could result in a material change in your operations and/or the value of the
securities you are registering for sale. Acknowledge any risks that any actions by the
Chinese government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted
overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers could significantly limit or
completely hinder your ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and
cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

operations of your business, please revise to describe any material impact that
intervention, influence, or control by the Chinese government has or may have on your
business or on the value of your securities. Highlight separately the risk that the Chinese
government may intervene or influence your operations at any time, which could result in

statements by the Chinese government indicating an intent to exert more oversight and
control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-
based issuers, acknowledge the risk that any such action could significantly limit or
completely hinder your ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and
cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. We remind you
that, pursuant to federal securities rules, the term “control” (including the terms
“controlling,” “controlled by,” and “under common control with”) means “the possession,
direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and
policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or
