Business combinations

2478 staff comments in this corpus, to 409 registrants, across 7 of the 7 calendar quarters this corpus covers.

Coverage is partial and not continuous. This corpus holds CORRESP filings from 2023Q1–2024Q2 (82–96% of each quarter's EDGAR total); 2025Q4 (16% of the 861 CORRESP filings EDGAR indexed that quarter). It holds nothing at all from 2024Q3, 2024Q4, 2025Q1, 2025Q2 or 2025Q3, and nothing filed after 2025-12-31. If an issue page shows no comment from one of those periods, the reason is that edgarwiki has no data for it — not that the staff raised nothing. Counts on this site are counts within this corpus and are not SEC-wide totals. Every quotation is verbatim and links to its filing; what is incomplete is coverage, not accuracy.

19. We note your disclosure that because you may be considered a foreign person under CFIUS regulations, the proposed business combination may fall within the scope of a covered transaction and be subject to CFIUS review jurisdiction. Please revise your cover page and disclosure throughout the registration statement to note that the transaction may be subject to CFIUS review because BLAC’s sponsor is controlled by and has substantial ties with non-U.S. persons. Please also reconcile your disclosure in this risk factor with your disclosure on page 38 stating that “[n]one of BLAC and OSR Holdings is aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination.”

27. You disclosed your basis for the expected accounting treatment for the Business Combination at page 38 and elsewhere in the filing, including considerations of voting power, senior management and the relative size of entities. Please provide us a more detailed analysis under ASC 805-10-55-11 through ASC 805-10-55-15 to further elaborate your basis for such expected accounting. Specifically address the composition of the governing body of the combined entity in terms of whose owners have the ability to elect or appoint or to remove a majority of the members of the governing body of the combined entity. We also note that the post merger management seem to be comprised of mostly senior management from Landmark BioVentures AG. Revise your pro forma presentation to include an updated disclosure of your accounting basis.
The company responded
In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised its disclosures on pages 41 and 124 to include an analysis under the relevant ASC guidelines. The analysis is as follows: The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) which is the current single source of U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, BLAC will be treated as the “acquired” company and OSR Holdings will be considered the accounting acquirer for accounting purposes as set forth by the guidance in ASC 805-10. This conclusion is supported by the voting interest model referenced in ASC 805-10-55-12 as 67.7% (no redemption), 70.8% (50% redemption) and 74.2% (maximum redemption) of the voting interest scenarios in New OSR Holdings which will be held by the historical shareholder group of OSR Holdings.

30. We see that it is a condition to closing under the Business Combination Agreement that at least $5,000,001 remain after payment of all requested redemptions by your public stockholders and that you currently do not have any PIPE Financing. In this regard, we see that cash would be negative in the maximum redemption scenario. Please revise to disclose what consideration was given to this in the maximum redemption scenario.
The company responded
In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that the Company has obtained an indication of interest from Toonon Partners Co., Ltd. (“Toonon”) for equity financing in an aggregate amount of $20,000,000. The Company is in negotiations with Toonon to enter into a definitive agreement to evidence such filing. As such, the Company has revised the Form S-4, where appropriate, to include disclosure and assumption of the $20,000,000 PIPE Financing. Under the current assumptions, after giving effect to the $20,000,000 PIPE Financing, the Company will meet the minimum cash condition under the Business Combination Agreement, and the Company will meet the net tangible asset requirement set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.

45. We note your disclosure that holders of a minority of the remaining shares of OSR Holdings common stock not owned by BLAC upon consummation of the Share Exchange will not enter into a Non-Participating Stockholder Joinder and will therefore not be considered Non-Participating Company Stockholders, and such shares will remain outstanding and not be subject to any contractual put or call rights, or other conversion rights, with or into BLAC common stock. Please revise to further disclose what will happen to these shares following the Business Combination, including the estimated number of these shares that will remain outstanding after the Business Combination.
The company responded
In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company advises the Staff that this will no longer be the case following the amendment to the Business Combination Agreement, and all outstanding shares of OSR Holdings will, at closing of the Business Combination, be subject to the terms of either a Participating Stockholder Joinder or Non-Participating Stockholder Joinder, and that it is a condition to closing of the transaction that holders of at least 60% of the outstanding shares of OSR Holdings execute a Participating Stockholder Joinder.

Also explain why you recorded significant additions to Tangible assets during the six months ended June 30, 2023 that do not appear to be related to the acquisition of Darnatein Co., Ltd. from Note 34.
The company responded
In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company advises the Staff that there was an error in the reference number and in the line item for the table provided in Note 13 Tangible Asset. The footnote number should be referenced as footnote 34 instead of 32, and there was a missing line item ([1] Acquisition and Disposal) under Accumulated Depreciation. The [2] KRW 46,097,880 that was part of the Business Combination under Accumulated Depreciation in the initial table should have been the item for Acquisition and Disposal under Accumulated Depreciation. This changes the Total for Business Combination under Accumulated Depreciation from KRW -261,685,048 to [3] KRW -307,782,928. Adding this with the Total for Business Combination under Acquisition Cost KRW 317,203,996 equals KRW 9,421,068, which goes along with Darnatein’s KRW 9,421,068 for Equipment and Vehicles under Non-Current Assets…
