Dear Mr. Clampitt, Mr. Lin, Mr. Henderson and Mr. Kim:
On behalf of our client, CNFinance Holdings Limited, an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), we submit to the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) this letter in connection with the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”) initially filed on July 11, 2018, with amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (the “First Amended Registration Statement”) filed on July 31, 2018. Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company is filing its amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement (the “Second Amended Registration Statement”) and certain exhibits via EDGAR to the Commission. The Second Amended Registration Statement also contains certain additional updates and revisions, including the Company’s interim unaudited financial information for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018.
To facilitate your review, we have separately delivered to you four courtesy paper copies of the Second Amended Registration Statement, marked to show changes to the First Amended Registration Statement we submitted on July 31, 2018, and two copies of the submitted exhibits.
