The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff&rsquo;s comment regarding the exclusive forum provision in the Company&rsquo;s proposed

the risk factor (or a risk factor substantially similar to the risk factor) set forth on page&nbsp;87 of Amendment No.&nbsp;4 addressing
the limitations and consequences of the Provision. This risk factor does currently, and will in the future, indicate that that the Provision
does not apply to direct claims brought by New Forge's shareholders on their own behalf, or on behalf of any class of similarly situated
shareholders, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.</P>
