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 December 21, 2022 regarding our annual report on Form 20-F previously submitted on May 2, 2022 (the “Form 20-F”). 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, 2021
Introduction, page iii
| 1. | We note your response to prior comment 1 and your revised proposed disclosure that “China” or the “PRC” refers to the People’s Republic of China, excluding, for the purposes of your annual report only, Taiwan. As requested, and considering that China SOS Ltd, a Hong Kong LLC holds a substantial amount of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as disclosed on page F-31, please enhance your disclosures to: |
| ● | Clarify that the same legal and operational risks associated with operations in China also apply to operation in Hong Kong; |
| ● | Provide risk factor disclosure to explain whether there are any commensurate laws or regulations in Hong Kong or Macau which result in oversight over data security and explain how this oversight impacts your business and to what extent you believe you are compliant with the regulations or policies that have been issued. |
Provide us with your proposed disclosure.
Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, we propose to add the following risk factors to our Risk Factor section.
The Hong Kong legal system embodies uncertainties which could limit the availability of legal protections.
As one of the conditions for the handover of the sovereignty of Hong Kong to China, China accepted conditions such as Hong Kong’s Basic Law. The Basic Law ensured Hong Kong will retain its own currency (Hong Kong Dollar), legal system, parliamentary system and people’s rights and freedom for fifty years from 1997. This agreement has given Hong Kong the freedom to function with a high degree of autonomy. The Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong is responsible for its own domestic affairs including, but not limited to, the judiciary and courts of last resort, immigration and customs, public finance, currencies and extradition. Hong Kong continues using the English common law system.
However, if the PRC attempts to alter its agreement to allow Hong Kong to function autonomously, this could potentially impact Hong Kong’s common law legal system and may in turn bring about uncertainty in, for example, the enforcement of our contractual rights. This could, in turn, materially and adversely affect our business and operations. Additionally, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in Hong Kong may not be as effective as in the United States or other countries. Accordingly, we cannot predict the effect of future developments in the Hong Kong legal system, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the preemption of local regulations by national laws. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to us, including our ability to enforce our agreements with our customers.
Our Hong Kong subsidiaries are subject to Hong Kong laws and regulations regarding data security, which could subject them to government enforcement actions and investigations, fines, penalties, and suspension or disruption of their operations.
Our Hong Kong subsidiaries, including China SOS Limited and Future Technology Global Ltd., operate in Hong Kong and are thus subject to laws and regulations in Hong Kong in respect of data privacy, data security, and data protection. The main legislation in Hong Kong concerning data security is the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “PDPO”), which regulates the collection, usage, storage, and transfer of personal data and imposes a statutory duty on data users to comply with the six data protection principles contained therein. Pursuant to section 33 of the PDPO, the PDPO is applicable to the collection and processing of personal data if such activities take place in Hong Kong, or if the personal data is collected by a data user whose principal place of business is in Hong Kong. As of the date of this annual report, we and our Hong Kong subsidiaries have complied with the laws and requirements in respect of data security in Hong Kong. Our directors confirm that: (i) each of our directors and our Hong Kong subsidiaries has not been involved in any litigation or regulatory action relating to breach of the PDPO; and (ii) they are not aware of any non-compliance incidents relating to breach of the PDPO since the date of incorporation of our Hong Kong subsidiaries. Since our PRC subsidiaries conduct substantially all of their business operations in the mainland China, we believe that the incumbent data security statutory requirements under Hong Kong laws do not materially affect their business. However, the laws on cybersecurity and data privacy are constantly evolving and can be subject to varying interpretations, resulting in uncertainties about the scope of our responsibilities in that regard. Failure to comply with the cybersecurity and data privacy requirements in a timely manner, or at all, may subject us or our Hong Kong subsidiaries to consequences including but not limited to government enforcement actions and investigations, fines, penalties, and suspension or disruption of our Hong Kong subsidiaries’ operations.
Item 3. Key Information, page 2

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, please see the proposed disclosures below.
| ● | We propose to revise the SOS organization chart diagram on page 4 and page 54. Please see the following diagram. |
We also propose to revise the following disclosures on F-7:
| SOS Auto Service Co., Ltd. | A 99% subsidiary of Qingdao SOS Investment LLP (PRC) | Other Subsidiary | ||
| Qingdao SOS Industrial Holding Co., Ltd. | A VIE of Qingdao SOS Investment Management Co., Ltd. | VIE | ||

| SOS Ronghe Digital Technology Co., Ltd. (PRC) | A 31.22% subsidiary of SOS Information Technology Co,. Ltd. | Other Subsidiary |
| ● | We propose to revise our disclosures on page 4 as follows (revisions in italic): |
Our ability to pay dividends depends upon dividends paid by our operating entities. If the operating entities incur debt on their own behalf, the instruments governing their debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us.
The operating entities in mainland China will be permitted to pay dividends to us only out of its retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprise as promulgated by the Ministry of Finance of the PRC, or PRC GAAP. In accordance with PRC company laws, any consolidated VIEs in China must make appropriations from its after-tax profits to non-distributable reserve funds including (i) statutory surplus fund and (ii) discretionary surplus fund. The appropriation to the statutory surplus fund must be at least 10% of the after-tax profits calculated in accordance with PRC GAAP. Appropriation is not required if the statutory surplus fund has reached 50% of the registered capital of the consolidated VIEs. Appropriation to discretionary surplus fund will be made at the discretion of the consolidated VIEs.

| 4. | We note your response to prior comment 5. Please address the following: |
| ● | Disclose PRC GAAP for the periods presented; and |
| ● | Enhance your proposed disclosure to clarify why you have not accrued any money to the reserve fund since you recognized profits, albeit under US GAAP, in prior periods. Provide us with your proposed disclosure. |
Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, we propose to add the following disclosures on page 4.
Pursuant to the law applicable to China’s foreign investment enterprises, an operating entity that is a foreign investment enterprise in the PRC has to make appropriation from its after-tax profit, as determined under PRC GAAP, to reserve funds including (i) general reserve fund, (ii) enterprise expansion fund and (iii) staff bonus and welfare fund. The appropriation to the general reserve fund must be at least 10% of the after-tax profits calculated in accordance with PRC GAAP. Appropriation is not required if the reserve fund has reached 50% of the total capital contribution to be paid-in by shareholders (the “Registered Capital”) of the operating company. Appropriation to the other two reserve funds is at the discretion of the operating company in China. General reserve fund and statutory surplus fund are restricted for set off against losses, expansion of production and operation or increase in Registered Capital of the respective companies. These reserves are not transferable to the Company in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. These reserves are therefore not available for distribution except in liquidation.
No statutory reverse fund was provided in VIE’s subsidiary inside China called SOSIT for the fiscal years 2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively, even though they are making profit after tax because SOSIT has no registered paid-up capital yet and SOSIT has no plan to distribute dividend for the fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

| 5. | We note your response to prior comment 8 and your proposed disclosure. Please enhance your proposed disclosure to specifically disclose, at the onset of Item 3, the ability and or the impact to relocate or reproduce operating activities elsewhere should operating in the PRC become prohibitive. Provide us with your proposed disclosure. |
Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, we propose to add disclosures at the onset of Item 3 and to the Risk Factor section.
We propose to add the following disclosure at the onset of Item 3 (at the end of page 6):
Our corporate structure is subject to risks relating to our contractual arrangements with Qingdao SOS Industrial Holding Co., Ltd. (the “VIE”) and its shareholders. These contractual arrangements have not been tested in a court of law. If the PRC government finds these contractual arrangements non-compliant with the restrictions on direct foreign investment in the relevant industries, or if the relevant PRC laws, regulations, and rules or the interpretation thereof change in the future, we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our beneficial interest in the consolidated VIE or forfeit our rights under the contractual arrangements. SOS and investors in the ADSs face uncertainty about potential future actions by the PRC government, which could affect the enforceability of our contractual arrangements with the VIE and, consequently, significantly affect the financial condition and results of operations of SOS. If we are unable to claim our right to control the assets of the consolidated VIE, the ADSs may decline in value or become worthless. In addition, changes in China’s economic, political or social conditions, or government policies may cause our and the consolidated VIE’s underlying operations in China to become prohibitive, which may subject us to sanctions imposed by PRC laws relating to, among others, data security and our remaining business operations in China may also become negatively affected. We could also be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations, which would result in a material adverse change to our business operations, and materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and cause our ADSs to significantly decline in value or become worthless.
In addition, we propose to add the following to our Risk Factor section:
The PRC government has significant authority to exert influence on the China operations of an offshore holding company, such as us. Therefore, investors in the ADSs and our and the consolidated VIE’s business face potential uncertainty from the PRC government’s policy. Changes in China’s economic, political or social conditions, or government policies may cause our and the consolidated VIE’s underlying operations in China to become prohibitive, which could materially and adversely affect our and the consolidated VIE’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Substantially all of our and the consolidated VIE’s operations are located in China and as a result, the continuation of the underlying operations in China is vital to our and the consolidated VIE’s success. The PRC government has significant authority to exert influence on the China operations of an offshore holding company, such as us. Despite economic reforms and measures implemented by the PRC government, the PRC government continues to play a significant role in regulating industrial development, allocation of natural and other resources, production, pricing and management of currency, and there can be no assurance that the PRC government will continue to pursue a policy of economic reform or that the direction of reform will continue to be market friendly.
Our and the consolidated VIE’s ability to successfully conduct business operations in the PRC depends on a number of factors, including macro-economic and other market conditions. Our and the consolidated VIE’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected by the following factors:
| o | political instability or changes in social conditions of the PRC; | |
| o | changes in laws, regulations, and administrative directives or the interpretation thereof; | |
| o | measures which may be introduced to control inflation or deflation; and | |
| o | changes in the rate or method of taxation. |
These factors are affected by a number of variables which are beyond our and the consolidated VIE’s control. In the event that our or the consolidated VIE’s underlying operations in China become prohibitive, we and the consolidated VIE may not be able to relocate and/or reproduce operating activities elsewhere, which could cause significant business disruptions and materially and adversely affect our and the consolidated VIE’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The Company did several rounds of registered offerings which led to the inflow of funds for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The VIE and its subsidiaries in China received an aggregate of US$197 million (See F-32) from its wholly owned subsidiaries Qingdao SOS Investment Management Co., Ltd. (WOFE) and China SOS Ltd. All these funds were provided by the Company raised through registered direct offerings.
