Re: | Stevanato Group S.p.A. |
Confidential Submission of Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Stevanato Group S.p.A., an Italian joint stock company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Italy (società per azioni) (the Company), we hereby confidentially submit pursuant to Section 6(e) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, a Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the Registration Statement) for confidential non-public review by the Staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the public filing of the Registration Statement.
The Company qualifies as an Emerging Growth Company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Pursuant to Section 71003 of the Fixing Americas Surface Transportation (FAST) Act and based on guidance issued by the SEC in connection therewith specifically Securities Act Forms Question 101.04 of the SECs Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations issued on August 17, 2017 the Company is omitting from the Registration Statement its annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, because it reasonably believes that such financial statements will not be required to be included in the Registration Statement at the time of the contemplated offering.
The Company confirms that it will publicly file the Registration Statement and any non-public draft submissions at least 15 days prior to any road show or, in the absence of a road show, at least 15 days prior to the requested effective date of the Registration Statement.
If you have any questions concerning this submission or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at + 44.20.7519.7025.
Very truly yours, |
