We note your response to prior comment 6 including the disclosure that you omitted the Company Earnout Shares and the Sponsor Earnout Shares as
sources of dilution because they will be considered a liability of Innventure and the Sponsor respectively. Please revise your disclosure where appropriate to include the Company Earnout Shares and the Sponsor Earnout Shares as sources of
dilution or explain why the issuance of such shares will not lead to dilution of investors’ interests.
|
2.
|
We note your response to prior comment 9. Please revise your disclosure to disclose the Sponsor’s total potential ownership to include the
Sponsor Earnout Shares or explain why the issuance of such shares would not increase the Sponsor’s total ownership.
|

We note your response to prior comment 5. In your correspondence you disclosed the identity of one of the owners/control persons of your Sponsor
and the fact that one is a citizen of the United Kingdom. Please revise your disclosure in the registration statement to also include such information.

We note your response to prior comment 18. Please revise your background discussion to:
|
•
|
Expand your background discussion to provide more detailed disclosure regarding key negotiation considerations and how they changed over time.
Currently the background disclosure references negotiation topics without appearing to provide details or explaining their significance or how they may have changed before being reflected in the proposed business combination. For example,
the disclosure state that the August 17, 2023 LOI included an equity valuation of $500 million, a contemplated Up-C structure, execution of at least a $75 million equity facility, etc. However, it is unclear what other key terms were
involved. Revise to provide details, including quantitative detail, as to how the parties reached the material terms of the transaction, such as the material components of the merger consideration. Please identify the original terms,
which party proposed the consideration or term, as well as how and why any terms were revised over time.

Specifically identify by name the person or persons involved in meetings or negotiations. There are still numerous instances where you do not
specifically identify who was present at a meeting or negotiation. For example:

On page 93, you state that on April 26, 2023, a representative of Advisor visited the Austin, Texas offices of Accelsius, and attended in-person meetings with members

teleconference calls to discuss then-remaining open negotiation points.
|
•
|

retain the financial advisors after the merger, and any pre-existing relationships between the Sponsor and additional investors;

We note your response to prior comment 20. Please revise here, in the Summary and where appropriate to quantify the aggregate dollar amount and
describe the nature of what Learn CW’s officers and directors have at risk, if material, that depends on completion of a business combination. Include the current value of securities held, loans extended, fees due, and out-of-pocket
expenses for which Learn CW’s officers and directors are awaiting reimbursement.

7.
|
We note your response to prior comment 26. You state that “Accelsius has signed revenue-generating agreements with several initial partners with
whom it will deploy NeuCool thermal management systems to operating data centers by mid-2024.” Please revise your disclosure to describe the material terms of these revenue-generating agreements and file the agreements as exhibits pursuant
to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K, or explain the basis for your determination that filing them is not required.
|
8.
|
We note your response to prior comment 30. We do not see as an exhibit the Sponsor Letter Agreement or the Promissory Note with Sponsor dated
May 3, 2022. Please file or advise why you do not think it is necessary to file these agreements. Refer to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K.
