Dear
Ms. Block:
By
letter dated February 12, 2019, the staff (the “Staff,”
“you”
or “your”) of the U.S.
Securities & Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) provided
NaturalShrimp Incorporated (the
“Company,”
“we,”
“us” or
“our”)
with its comments to the Company’s Registration Statement on
Form S-1 filed on December 14, 2018. We are in receipt of your
letter and set forth below are the Company’s responses to the
Staff’s comments. For your convenience, the comments are
listed below, followed by the Company’s
responses.
Form S-1 filed December 14, 2018
Equity Financing Agreement, page 53
1.
We note your
disclosure that you have previously registered 20,000,000 shares of
common stock for resale under the Equity Financing Agreement dated
August 21, 2018 on Form S-1 (file number 333-227258), which went
effective on September 19, 2018. This appears to be the same
Financing Agreement under which you are registering 60,000,000
shares of common on this registration statement. Please advise as
to the status of the offering underlying the September registration
statement, whether GHS has purchased any shares pursuant to the
Equity Financing Agreement, and whether or not that offering is
ongoing. In this regard, we note the disclosure that the 60,000,000
shares of common stocked registered for resale on this registration
statement would represent approximately 30% of the Company’s
public float. If you intend to make offers and sales using the
September Form S-1 in addition to this current Form S-1, please
advise what percentage of shares these two combined offerings
represent of the Company’s public float.
Response:
The offering underlying the September registration statement has
been completed. GHS has purchased all of the 20,000,000 shares of
the Company’s common stock underlying the September
registration statement and therefore the offering under the
September registration statement is no longer ongoing. The Company
is registering 16,876,540 shares of its common stock in this
current registration statement on Form S-1 and as such this
represents approximately 0.0630% of the Company’s public
float.
2.
In this regard, we
also note that your common stock outstanding has appeared to have
increased significantly since your September 2018 S-1 registration
statement. We note you disclosed you had 87,056,880 common stock
outstanding in your September 2018 S-1, whereas you disclose in
this registration statement that as of December 14, 2018 you had
226,477,233 shares of common stock outstanding. Please add
disclosure in an appropriate place in this registration statement
explaining this increase. Please also add risk factor disclosure
explaining the dilutive effect of this increase in the number of
outstanding shares, and the dilutive effect of any potential future
stock issuances.
Response:
We have
updated this current registration statement on Form S-1 to explain
the increase in the common stock outstanding of the Company.
Additionally, we have added a risk factor to disclose the dilutive
effect of this increase in the number of outstanding shares of
common stock, and the dilutive effect of any potential future stock
issuances.
3.
We note your
disclosure on page 26 that “the Financing Agreement gives us
the option to sell to GHS, up to $7,000,000 worth of our common
stock over the period ending thirty-six (36) months after the date
this
Registration statement is deemed effective” (emphasis added).
Please reconcile with your statement in this section that
“Puts may be delivered by the Company to GHS until the
earlier of thirty-six (36) months after the effectiveness of the
[September 2018] Registration Statement or the date on which GHS
has purchased an aggregate of $7,000,000 worth of Common Stock
under the terms of the Equity Financing
Agreement.”
Response: We have reconciled
the above mentioned statements on page 26 of Amendment No. 1 to the
Registration Statement on Form S-1.
Thank you for your assistance in reviewing this
filing.
Very
Truly Yours,
NaturalShrimp
Incorporated
