Dear Sir or Madam,

 

On behalf of our client, Ryde Group Ltd (the “Company”), a foreign private issuer incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, we are submitting the Company’s draft registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Draft Registration Statement”) relating to a proposed initial public offering in the United States of ordinary shares (“Ordinary Shares”). The Draft Registration Statement is submitted via EDGAR to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) for confidential non-public review pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (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.

 

Financial Information

 

The Company has included in this submission its audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022. Prior to the distribution of a preliminary prospectus, the Company will amend the registration statement to include all financial statements required by Regulation S-X at the date of the amendment.
