Re: | Cheche Group Inc. (CIK No. 0001965473) |
Response to the Staff’s Comments on
Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form F-4 (File No. 333-273400)
Filed on August 8, 2023
Dear Mr. Phippen, Mr. Spitz, Ms. Mateo and Ms. Aldave,
On behalf of our client, Cheche Group Inc., 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 August 21, 2023 on the Amendment No.1 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-4 filed to the Commission on August 8, 2023 (the “Amendment No.1”). Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company is submitting amendment No.2 to the Registration Statement (the “Amendment No.2”) and certain exhibits via EDGAR to the Commission.
The Staff’s comments are repeated below in bold and are followed by the Company’s responses. We have included page references in the Amendment No.2 where the disclosure addressing a particular comment appears. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Amendment No.2.
Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form F-4
General
1. | We note the changes you made to your disclosure appearing in the Summary and Risk Factor sections, 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 confidentially submitted on June 27, 2023, 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 a material 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.” The Sample Letters also sought specific disclosures relating to uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and that the rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little advance notice. We do not believe that your revised disclosure referencing the PRC government’s intent to strengthen its regulatory oversight conveys the same risk. Please restore your disclosures in these areas to the disclosures as they existed in your confidential submission as of June 27, 2023. |

PRC Regulatory Permissions for the Business Combination
CSRC Filing, page 49
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 if you are unable to do so, “Prime Impact, HoldCo and CCT will not consummate the Business Combination without first completing the CSRC filing.” 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 49 and revise the risk factor disclosure on page 104 under the Trial Measures discussion. In addition, tell us how you plan to notify investors about receiving the CSRC approval. |
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comments and has revised the disclosure on the cover page and pages 51, 106 and 130 of the Amendment No.2. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it plans to notify investors about receiving the CSRC approval through press release, current report on Form 8-K issued by Prime Impact, current report on Form 6-K issued by the Company, and prospectus supplement to the Registration Statement.

3. | Please refer to Exhibit 5.1 and have counsel remove assumptions in paragraphs 4 and 12 on pages 5 and 6 of the legality opinion, respectively, or advise. For guidance, please refer to Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19. |
