(the “Company”) hereby requests that the above-referenced registration statements on Form F-1 originally filed on April 30, 2021, including all exhibits filed therewith and all amendments thereto (the “F-1 Registration Statement”), be withdrawn, effective as of the date hereof.
The Company has determined not to proceed at this time with the proposed offering and sale of the securities proposed to be covered by the F-1 Registration Statement. The F-1 Registration Statement was not declared effective and none of the Company’s securities has been issued or sold pursuant to the F-1 Registration Statement. The Company is withdrawing the F-1 Registration Statement on grounds that the withdrawal of the F-1 Registration Statement is consistent with the public interest and protection of investors, as contemplated by paragraph (a) of Rule 477 of the Securities Act.
The Company further requests that, in accordance with Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act, all fees paid to the Commission in connection with the filing of the Registration Statements be credited to the Company’s account to be offset against the filing fee for future use by the Company or an affiliate of the Company.
