Include an additional risk factor highlighting the negative pressure potential sales of shares pursuant to this registration statement could have on the public trading price of the common stock. To illustrate this risk, disclose the purchase price of the securities being registered for resale and the percentage that these shares currently represent of the total number of shares outstanding. Also disclose that even though the current trading price is significantly below the SPAC IPO price, certain private investors have an incentive to sell because they will still profit on sales because of the lower price that they purchased their shares than the public investors.

Please expand your discussion here to reflect the fact that this offering involves the potential sale of a substantial portion of shares for resale and discuss how such sales could impact the market price of the company s common stock. Your discussion should highlight the fact that Derek Xu and Victor Huang and their affiliates, beneficial owners of 40.5% and 30% of your outstanding shares, respectively, will be able to sell all of their shares for so long as the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is available for use.

For example, disclose the total number of public shares that were redeemed since the SPAC IPO and in connection with the Business Combination and the resulting amount of funds you received from the trust account. Disclose the amount of debt and other securities issued, net proceeds received, and fees paid or payable to finance the company and its obligations in connection with and following the Business Combination. If the company is likely to have to seek additional capital, discuss the effect of this offering on the company s ability to raise additional capital. General 6. Revise your prospectus to disclose the price that each selling securityholder paid for the securities being registered for resale. Highlight any differences in the current trading price, the prices that the selling securityholders acquired their securities, and the price that the public securityholders acquired their shares and warrants. Disclose that while the selling securityholders may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price, the public securityholders may not experience a similar rate of return on the securities they purchased due to differences in the purchase prices and the current trading Victor Huang Airship AI Holdings, Inc.
