12.Revise your risk factors in this section to more specifically address the risks posed by the
UL-CCIC joint venture, which you have consolidated as a VIE, including:

•Explain whether the JV/VIE structure is used to provide investors with exposure to
foreign investment in a China-based company where Chinese law prohibits direct
foreign investment in the operating companies.  Acknowledge that Chinese
regulatory authorities could disallow this structure, which would likely result in a
material change in your operations and could result in a change in the value of the
securities you are registering for sale, including that it could cause the value of such
securities to decline;

•Disclose that investors may never hold equity interests in UL-CCIC, that UL-CCIC is
consolidated for accounting purposes but is not an entity in which the company owns
equity, describe how and why the contractual arrangements with UL-CCIC may be
less effective than direct ownership, and that the company may incur substantial costs
to enforce the terms of the arrangements. Any references to control or benefits that
accrue to you because of the arrangement with UL-CCIC should be limited to a clear
description of the conditions you have satisfied for consolidation of the JV/VIE under
U.S. GAAP. Additionally, your disclosure should clarify that you are the primary
beneficiary of UL-CCIC for accounting purposes;

•Acknowledge that if the PRC government determines that the contractual
arrangements constituting part of the UL-CCIC joint venture do not comply with
PRC regulations, or if these regulations change or are interpreted differently in the
future, a material adverse effect on your operations may result if the determinations,
changes, or interpretations result in your inability to assert contractual control over
the assets of UL-CCIC;

•Describe how cash is transferred between UL-CCIC and the company and disclose
your intentions to distribute earnings or settle amounts owed under the JV agreement.
State whether any transfers, dividends, or distributions have been made to date
between you, UL-CCIC, or to investors, and quantify the amounts where applicable;

•Describe any restrictions on foreign exchange and your ability to transfer cash
between the company and UL-CCIC, across borders, and to U.S. investors, and any
restrictions and limitations on your ability to distribute earnings from UL-CCIC to
the company and U.S. investors as well as the ability to settle amounts owed under
the JV agreement; and

•Disclose, if true, that the JV agreement has not been tested in a court of law.
13.Given the Chinese government’s significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of
UL-CCIC's business, please revise to highlight separately the risk that the Chinese
government may intervene or influence its operations at any time, which could result in a
material change in your operations.  Address how recent statements and regulatory actions
by China’s government, such as those related to the use of variable interest entities and
data security or anti-monopoly concerns, have or may impact the company’s ability to
conduct its business.
14.Disclose each permission or approval that you and UL-CCIC are required to obtain from
Chinese authorities to operate your business.  State whether you or UL-CCIC are covered
by permissions requirements from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC),
Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) or any other governmental agency that is
required to approve UL-CCIC's operations, and state affirmatively whether you have
received all requisite permissions or approvals and whether any permissions or approvals
have been denied.  In doing so, please address the applicability of new CAC regulations
that will go into effect on February 15 that will require internet platform operators holding
data of more than 1 million users to undergo a network security review, and the two most
recent draft regulations proposed by the CSRC. Please also describe the consequences to
you and your investors if you or UL-CCIC: (i) do not receive or maintain such
permissions or approvals, (ii) inadvertently conclude that such permissions or approvals
are not required, or (iii) applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and you are
required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future.
