Dear Sir/Madam,
On behalf of our client, Huize Holding Limited, a foreign private issuer organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), we are hereby submitting a draft registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Draft Registration Statement”) relating to a proposed initial public offering in the United States of the Company’s common shares, par value US$0.00001 per share, to be represented by American depositary shares (“ADSs”) via EDGAR to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) for confidential review pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, as amended (the “JOBS Act”). The Company confirms that it is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act and its securities have not been previously sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company also confirms that it will publicly file the registration statement previously submitted on a confidential basis at least 15 days prior to any road show in connection with the proposed offering. A registration statement on Form F-6 relating to the ADSs will be filed with the Commission in due course.
