Dear Ms. Miller:
SOS Limited (the “Company”, “SOS,” “we”, “us” or “our”) hereby supplementally transmits its response to the letter received from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), dated January 20, 2022 regarding our annual report on Form 20-F previously submitted on May 5, 2021, as amended on January 7, 2022 (the “Form 20-F/A”), and our response to the Staff dated February 14, 2022 and March 10, 2022. For ease of reference, we have repeated the Commission’s comments in this response and numbered them accordingly.
Form 20-F for the fiscal period ending December 31, 2020
Part 1, page 1
| 1. | We note your revised disclosure in the 20-F/A No.2 in response to prior comment 3. However, we note on page 1 in both Part 1 and Item 3. Key Information you continue to disclose that “VIE Agreements are designed to provide our wholly-foreign owned entity (“WFOE”), Qingdao SOS Investment Management Co., Ltd., with the power, rights, and obligations equivalent in all material respects to those it would possess as the principal equity holder of the VIE, including absolute control rights and the rights to the assets, property, and revenues of the VIE.” As previously requested, please refrain from implying that the contractual agreements are equivalent to equity ownership in the business of the VIE. Any references to control or benefits that accrue to you because of the VIE should be limited to a clear description of the conditions you satisfied for consolidation of the VIE under U.S. GAAP. Additionally, your disclosure should clarify that, you are the primary beneficiary of the VIE for accounting purposes. Please revise your disclosures accordingly. Provide us with your proposed disclosure prior to filing future amendments. |
Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, please see the revised disclosure below.
We are a Cayman Islands holding company conducting a portion of our operations in China through Qingdao SOS Industrial Holding Co., Ltd., a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and its subsidiaries. Investors of our ADSs are not investing in the VIE. Neither we nor our subsidiaries own any shares in the VIE. Instead, for accounting purposes, we control and receive the economic benefits of the VIE’s business operation through a series of contractual arrangements, also known as VIE Agreements, dated May 14, 2020, which enables us to consolidate the financial results of the VIE and its subsidiaries in our consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP. As a result of these contractual arrangements, which have not been tested in a court of law, under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), the assets and liabilities of the VIE are treated as our assets and liabilities and the results of operations of the VIE are treated in all aspects as if they were the results of our operations. PRC laws, regulations, and rules restrict and impose conditions on direct foreign investment in certain types of business, and we therefore operate these businesses in China through the VIE. We have evaluated the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 810 and determined that we are regarded as the primary beneficiary of the VIE for accounting purposes, as a result of our direct ownership in WFOE and the provisions of the VIE Agreements. See “Item 3. Key Information — Contractual Agreements between WFOE and The VIE” for a summary of these VIE Agreements.
