As counsel for Cre8 Enterprise Limited (the “Company”) and on its behalf, this letter is being submitted in response to the letter dated September 10, 2024 from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in which the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) commented on the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form F-1 submitted on September 5, 2024. Concurrently with the submission of this letter, we hereby transmit, via EDGAR, an amended Registration Statement on Form F-1 (“Form F-1”) for filing with the Commission, which has been revised to reflect the Staff’s comments as well as certain other updates to the Form F-1.

 

For the Staff’s convenience, the Staff’s comment has been stated below in its entirety, with the Company’s response set out immediately underneath such comment. Page references below in the Company’s responses are to the page numbers in Form F-1. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Form F-1.

1.We note the statement on page 1 that the opinion relates to this offering, “which includes the shares issued pursuant to the over-allotment option exercised by the underwriter on August 2, 2024.” Please tell us whether you have issued the over-allotment shares prior to the effectiveness of your registration statement, or revise.

 

RESPONSE: We note the Staff’s comment, and in response hereto, respectfully advise the Staff that we have provided a revised PRC legal opinion provided by Guangdong Wesley Law Firm, our PRC Counsel, which is filed as Exhibit 99.7 to the Form F-1 to clarify that no over-allotment shares were issued prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement.

 

 

 

 

2.We note counsel’s opinion on pages 4 and 7. Please substantively revise this section to clearly opine on each representation in the registration statement as attributed to your PRC counsel. Refer to the cover page and pages 7, 13 to 16, 30, and 32 to 33 in the registration statement. Alternatively, the opinion may cross-reference the specific sections in the registration statement where such representations are located.

As such, please have counsel provide an updated opinion that eliminates the limitation on reliance.
