Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company is filing Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 2”) and a free writing prospectus relating to the changes reflected in Amendment No. 2 (the “Free Writing Prospectus”).
The Company has responded to each of the Staff’s comments by incorporating revisions to Amendment No. 1 in light of the comment, providing an explanation if the Company has not yet fully responded to the comment or providing supplemental information as requested. In addition, the Company has revised Amendment No. 1 to conform or update certain other disclosure.
For your convenience, we have included the Staff’s comments below in italics and keyed the Company’s responses accordingly. Capitalized terms used in this response letter but not otherwise defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the prospectus that forms a part of Amendment No. 2.

Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on FormF-1
Capitalization, page 60
1. | Please revise your narrative description of capitalization on a pro forma basis to also include the number of Series A preferred shares converted into Class A ordinary shares on a pro forma basis. In that regard, you disclose that the Series A preferred share converts, on average, into 1.03 Class A ordinary shares or 8,177,082 Class A ordinary shares which differs from the pro forma effect of weighted average number of Series A preferred shares converted to Class A ordinary shares presented in the table on pageF-94. Please advise or revise. |
In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the narrative description of capitalization on a pro forma basis on page 60 of the Registration Statement, to include the number of Series A preferred shares converted into Class A ordinary shares on a pro forma basis.
The Company advises the Staff that, as themid-point of the estimated range of the initial public offering price, US$ 11.00, is lower than US$11.33656, the original conversion price of Series A preferred shares into Class A ordinary shares, the conversion price is adjusted down to themid-point of the estimated range of the initial public offering price. That is, each Series A preferred share converts into 1.0305965 Class A ordinary shares, which represents 7,938,915 Series A preferred shares converts into 8,181,818 Class A ordinary shares. The conversion ratio was rounded to1-for-1.03 for disclosure purpose.
