Re: | Amesite Inc. Registration Statement on Form S-1 Filed March 14, 2023 File No. 333-270512 |
Dear Ms. Mansaray:
This letter sets forth the responses of Amesite Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to the comments received from the Staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 27, 2023 concerning the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-270512) filed with the Commission on March 14, 2023 (the “Registration Statement”).
References in the text of the responses herein to captions and page numbers refer to Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Amended Registration Statement”), which is being filed herewith.
Form S-1 filed March 14, 2023
Plan of Distribution, page 13
1. | Please identify any selling stockholder that is a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer. Please note that a registration statement registering the resale of shares being offered by a broker-dealer must identify the broker-dealer as an underwriter if the shares were not issued as underwriting compensation. For a selling stockholder that is an affiliate of a broker-dealer, your prospectus must state, if true, that: (1) the seller purchased the securities in the ordinary course of business; and (2) at the time of purchase of the securities you are registering for resale, the seller had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person, to distribute the securities. If you are unable to make these statements in the prospectus, please disclose that the selling stockholder is an underwriter. |
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised its disclosure on page 13 of the Amended Registration Statement to identify any selling stockholder that is a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer. In addition, the Company has updated its disclosure with respect to such selling stockholder to indicate that such securities were acquired in the ordinary course of its business and that, at the time of such acquisition, it did not have any arrangements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
Incorporate of Documents by Reference, page 20
