Summary by Futu AI
ESGL Holdings Limited has submitted Amendment No. 5 to its Registration Statement on Form F-1 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in response to comments from the SEC staff. The amendment, filed on February 20, 2024, addresses concerns raised by the SEC regarding overly broad assumptions in the legality opinion of the company's previously filed Amendment No. 4. The SEC had requested that ESGL Holdings either revise the legality opinion to remove certain assumptions or provide an explanation for their appropriateness and the inability to obtain representations from officers, directors, or employees on these matters. In compliance, ESGL Holdings has filed an updated legal opinion without those assumptions. The company's correspondence with the SEC was managed by their counsel, David J. Levine, Esq., and they have expressed gratitude for the SEC's review and are open to further comments.
