To
the Reviewing Staff Members of the Commission:
Reference is made to the
Staff’s letter dated February 4, 2025 to Mr. Jialuan Ma, Chief Executive Officer of UY Scuti Acquisition Corp, (the
“Company”). On behalf of our client, and as requested by the staff (the “Staff”) of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), we are providing this letter setting forth our responses
to comments received from the Staff regarding the Amendment No. 2 to Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 of the Company
submitted on January 10, 2025 (the “Draft Registration Statement”) and concurrently amending the Registration
Statement (the “Registration Statement”) to include revised disclosure to address the Staff’s comments,
which Registration Statement has been publicly filed with the Commission on the date hereof.
For
your convenience, we have set forth the Staff’s comments in bold italics, followed by our response, as follows:
Cover
Page
1.
We
note your response to prior comment 1. Please provide a cross-reference, highlighted by prominent type or in another manner,
to the locations of all compensation related disclosures in the prospectus. See Item 1602(a)(3) of Regulation S-K.
We have provided the cross-reference on the cover
page of the Registration Statement per the Staff’s comment.
Dilution,
page 43
2.
We
note your response to our prior comment 8 and your updated dilution disclosure. We remain unclear why your dilution table on
page 44 reflects a redemption value of $8.93 per ordinary share rather than $10.00 per ordinary share for each redemption scenario
of your NTBV calculation. As such, please revise your disclosure to reflect the number of ordinary shares redeemed at the amounts equivalent
to the amounts to be paid for redemptions for each redemption scenario of your NTBV calculation, which is initially anticipated to be
$10.00 per ordinary share. In addition, your revised disclosure should consider that you may not redeem your public shares in an
amount that would cause your net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 in your determination of your maximum redemption threshold
for your revised dilution presentation.
We have revised the disclosure on page 43 and
44 of the Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment.
Dilution,
page 126
3.
We
note your response to our prior comment 12 and your revised disclosure. However, it is unclear how your dilution disclosure on pages
126 - 128 complies with the requirements in Item 1602(c) of Regulation S-K. Your disclosure should include a tabular format
with quartile intervals based on percentages of the maximum redemption threshold; the offering price as of the most recent balance
sheet date filed; the net tangible book value per share, as adjusted, as if the offering and assumed redemption levels
have occurred and to give effect to material probable or consummated transactions. In addition, your disclosure should provide the
difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share, as adjusted, and a description of the model, methods,
assumptions, estimates, and parameters necessary to understand the tabular disclosure. Please revise your disclosure to comply with
Item 1602(c) of Regulation S-K, or advise.
We have revised the disclosure on pages 126 to
127 of the Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment.
Thank you for your time and
attention. We believe that our revisions have addressed all of the Staff’s concerns of which we are aware. Should you have additional
questions regarding the information contained herein or in the Registration Statement, please contact the undersigned, Bill Huo, Esq.,

Summary
Dilution, page 42
24.We refer you to your disclosure in the second paragraph on page 42 that states "[s]uch
calculations include additional dilution associated with the conversion of the rights, as
set forth in the below table." Please tell us how you determined that such calculations
reflects the conversion of rights.
25.We note your disclosure throughout the filing that you may not redeem your public
shares in an amount that would cause your net tangible assets to be less than
$5,000,001. We further note your tabular presentation of dilution at quartile intervals
on the outside cover page and on pages 42 and 43. Such tabular presentation appears
to assume your maximum redemption threshold is 4,465,909 ordinary shares, which is
less than the 5,000,000 shares to be sold to public shareholders as part of this offering.
Further, the use of 4,465,909 ordinary shares does not appear to be due to the
$5,000,001 net tangible assets restriction. Please tell us how you derived the amount
of 4,465,909 ordinary shares for the denominator and a redemption amount of
$44,659,090 for your numerator within your 100% maximum redemption column in
your dilution presentation, or revise. Please refer to Item 1602 of Regulation S-K.
26.We note that one of your calculations assumptions is that no ordinary shares and
convertible equity or debt securities are issued in connection with additional financing
in connection with an initial business combination. Please expand your disclosure to
highlight that you may need to do so as you intend to target an initial business
combination with a target company whose enterprise value is greater than you could
acquire with the net proceeds of the offering and the sale of private placement units,
as stated on page 97 of your prospectus.

included risk factor disclosure based on the fact that you and your sponsor, officers
and directors are currently located in or have significant ties to China. Therefore,
given the Chinese government’s significant oversight and discretion over the conduct
of your directors’ and officers’ search for a target company, please revise to describe
any material impact that intervention, influence, or control by the Chinese
government has or may have on your business, on your search for a target, 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 a
material change in your search and/or the value of your securities. 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 otherwise."
28.We note on the cover page a cross reference to Risk Factors — Risks Associated with
Acquiring and Operating a Business in China, however, it does not appear to be in the
Risk Factors section. Please revise or advise.
29.In light of recent events indicating greater oversight by the Cyberspace
Administration of China (CAC) over data security, please revise your disclosure to
explain how this oversight impacts your officers and directors.

30.We note your disclosure that your sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their
affiliates may purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public
shareholders who have already elected to exercise redemption rights or submitted a
proxy to vote against your initial business combination, and that the purpose of such
purchases could be to vote shares in favor of the business combination to increase the
likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval or satisfy a closing condition. Please tell
us how such purchases would comply with Rule 14e-5. Please see Tender Offer Rules
and Schedules C&DI 166.01 for further information.
If we are deemed to be an investment company . . ., page 63
We note your disclosure that if you are deemed to be an investment company, you
may have to change operations, wind down or register under the Investment Company
Act. Please revise to also discuss the consequences to investors if you are required to
wind down your operations as a result of this status, such as the loss of the investment
opportunity in a target company, any price appreciation in the combined company,
and any rights would expire worthless. In addition, we note statements such as "[b]y
restricting the investment of proceeds to these instruments" you intend to avoid being
deemed an investment company, and that "[i]f [you] do not invest the proceeds as
discussed," you may be deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act. These
statements suggest that by investing funds in U.S. government securities or money
market funds meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act,
you will avoid being deemed to be an investment company. Please revise to clarify

investment.
