16、permitted.PRELIMINARYPROSPECTUS(SubjecttoCompletion)Dated November 22,20231,250,000 Ordinary SharesSU Group Holdings Limited(incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)This is the initial public offering of the ordinary shares of SU Group HoldingsLimited(the“Company”,“we,”“us,”“our,”o
17、r“SU Group”).We are offering1,250,000 of our ordinary shares,par value HK$0.01 per share,on a firm commitmentbasis.We expect the initial public offering price of our ordinary shares to be inthe range of US$4.00 to US$5.00 per share.Prior to this offering,no public marketexists for our ordinary share
18、s.We have applied to have our ordinary shares listed onthe Nasdaq Capital Market,or Nasdaq,under the symbol“SUGP.”We cannot guaranteethat we will be successful in listing our ordinary shares on Nasdaq;however,we willnot complete this offering unless we are so listed.SU Group Holdings Limited is,and
19、will continue to be,a“controlled company”withinthe meaning of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules,due to the fact that Mr.Chan MingDave,the Chairman of our board of directors and our Chief Executive Officer,beneficially owns ordinary shares representing approximately 75.1%of the totalvoting power of our i
20、ssued and outstanding ordinary shares,and will beneficially ownordinary shares representing approximately 68.1%of the total voting power of ourissued and outstanding ordinary shares immediately after the completion of thisoffering,assuming the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option
21、.Inaddition,as a“controlled company,”as defined under the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules,SU Group Holdings Limited is permitted to elect to rely on certain exemptions fromcorporate governance rules.SU Group Holdings Limited does not plan to rely on theseexemptions,but may elect to do so after completing
22、this offering.SU Group Holdings Limited is not an operating company but an exempted company withlimited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands.Investors in ourordinary shares are purchasing equity interests in a Cayman Islands holding company.SU Group Holdings Limited directly h
23、olds equity interests in its indirect operatingsubsidiaries in Hong Kong and does not operate its business through any variableinterest entity(“VIE”).As of the date of this prospectus,SU Group HoldingsLimited does not have any subsidiaries incorporated in mainland China.As a holdingcompany with no m
24、aterial operations of our own,our operations are conducted throughour subsidiaries in HongKong with our headquarters in HongKong,and such structureinvolves unique risks to investors,as the PRC(as defined below)government mayexercise significant influence and discretion over the conduct of our busine
25、ss andmay intervene in or influence our operations at any time.Such governmental actions:could disallow our corporate structure;could result in a material change in our operations;could hinder our ability to continue to offer securities to investors;andmay cause the value of our securities to signif
26、icantly decline or beworthless.We do not have any business operation in the PRC.We are aware that in recentyears,the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements toregulate business operations in the PRC with little advance notice,includingcracking down on illegal activitie
27、s in the securities market,enhancing supervisionover China-based companies listed overseas using a VIE structure,adopting newmeasures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews,and expanding the efforts inanti-monopoly enforcement.It is uncertain what potential impact such modified or newlaws and
28、regulations will have on our daily business operation,our ability to acceptforeign investments and the listing of our ordinary shares on a U.S.or otherforeign exchanges.These actions could result in a material change in our operationsand/or the value of our ordinary shares and could significantly li
29、mit or completelyhinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors.Asadvised by our Hong Kong counsel,Watson Farley&Williams LLP,based on theirunderstanding of the current Hong Kong laws,as of the date of this prospectus,weare not required to obtain permission from the Hon
30、g Kong authorities for the tradingof our ordinary shares on Nasdaq or for the offering of our ordinary shares toforeign investors outside Hong Kong.Based solely on documents and 2023/11/23 15:48sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1969863/000121390023089539/ff12023_sugrouphold.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/
31、edgar/data/1969863/000121390023089539/ff12023_sugrouphold.htm4/250Table of Contentsrepresentations received from the Company and their understanding of the current PRClaws and as of the date of this prospectus,nothing comes to the attention of our PRCcounsel,Han Kun Law Offices,that suggests we meet
32、 both of the explicit conditionsset out in the Article 15 of the Trial Measures of the Overseas Securities Offeringand Listing by Domestic Companies(the“Trial Measures”)which stipulates whether anindirect offering and listing of a PRC domestic company shall fulfil the filingprocedure with the CSRC,a
33、nd thus,based on the opinion of our PRC counsel,we havedetermined that we are not required to obtain permission from any PRC authorities forthe trading of our ordinary shares on Nasdaq or this offering,or for the offering ofour ordinary shares to foreign investors outside of mainland China,on the ba
34、sis that(1)we do not have any subsidiaries or business operation in the PRC;(2)none of ouroperating revenues,total profits,total assets or net assets is accounted for by anysubsidiaries based in the PRC;and(3)no issuance or sale of the ordinary shares hasbeen or will be made directly or indirectly w
35、ithin the PRC.However,there is noguarantee that this will continue to be the case in the future,or that even whensuch permission is obtained,it will not be subsequently denied or rescinded.Inaddition,there are substantial uncertainties as to its implementation andinterpretation of the Trial Measures
36、,and the CSRC may take a view that is contraryto our understanding under the principle of“substance over form”adopted therebyregarding the determination of an“indirect overseas offering and listing by PRCdomestic companies.We do not provide any security-related engineering services,and security guar
37、dingand screening services in mainland China or solicit customers or collect,store orprocess any personal data of any customer in mainland China.Our business does notinvolve the collection of user data,implicate cybersecurity,or involve any othertype of restricted industry as defined under the appli
38、cable PRC laws,and thus we donot believe we are among the“operator of critical information infrastructure”,“online platform operators”or“data handler”as defined under the applicable PRClaws.Based on the opinion of our PRC counsel,Han Kun Law Offices,we havedetermined that we are not subject to cyber
39、security review with the CyberspaceAdministration of China(“CAC”),given the facts that:(i)we do not possess a largeamount of personal information in our business operations originated from mainlandChina;and(ii)data processed in our business does not have a bearing on nationalsecurity and thus may no
40、t be classified as core or important data by the authorities.In addition,based on the opinion of our PRC counsel,Han Kun Law Offices,we havedetermined that we are not subject to merger control review by Chinas anti-monopolyenforcement agency due to the level of our revenues,and the fact that we curr
41、entlydo not expect to propose or implement any acquisition of control of,or decisiveinfluence over,any company with revenues within China of more than RMB400 million.Currently,these statements and regulatory actions have had no impact on our dailybusiness operation,the ability to accept foreign inve
42、stments,or the ability to listour ordinary shares on a U.S.or other foreign exchange.However,because thesestatements and regulatory actions are new,it is highly uncertain how soonlegislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existingor new laws or regulations or detail
43、ed implementations and interpretations will bemodified or promulgated,if any,and the potential impact such modified or new lawsand regulations will have on our daily business operation,the ability to acceptforeign investments,or the ability to list our ordinary shares on a U.S.or otherforeign exchan
44、ge.In the future,if we and/or our subsidiaries are required to obtainany permission or approval from or complete any filing procedure with the ChinaSecurities Regulatory Commission(the“CSRC”),the CAC,or other PRC governmentalauthorities in connection with this offering under the PRC law,we and/or ou
45、rsubsidiaries may be fined or subject to other sanctions,and our subsidiariesbusiness and our reputation,financial condition,and results of operations may bematerially and adversely affected.Any actions by the PRC government to exert moreinfluence and control over offerings(including businesses whos
46、e primary operationsare in Hong Kong)that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investments inHongKong-based issuers could significantly limit or completely hinder our abilityto offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of ourordinary shares to significantly decline or b

53、y and investors,nor are we required to haveany cash management policies pursuant to the current regulations in Hong Kong or thePRC,as advised by our Hong Kong counsel,Watson Farley&Williams LLP and our PRCcounsel,Han Kun Law Offices.As advised by our Cayman Islands counsel,Conyers Dill&Pearman,under
54、 Cayman Islands law,there is no specific requirement for the Companyto have a cash management policy in place,unless otherwise specified by anyaccounting policy adopted by the Company.The Company should however ensure itmaintains sufficient cash reserves to remain solvent at all times.As advised by
55、ourHong Kong counsel,Watson Farley&Williams LLP and based on the opinion of our PRCcounsel,Han Kun Law Offices,based on their understanding of the current laws and asof the date of this prospectus,PRC national laws relating to cash or assets transferdo not apply directly to Hong Kong.However,while t

71、023089539/ff12023_sugrouphold.htm6/250Table of ContentsPursuant to the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act(the“HFCAA”),the PublicCompany Accounting Oversight Board(the“PCAOB”)issued a Determination Report onDecember16,2021 which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigatecompletel
72、y registered public accounting firms headquartered in:(1)mainland Chinaof the PRC,and(2)HongKong,because of positions taken by the PRC authorities inthose jurisdictions.In addition,the PCAOBs report identified the specificregistered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations.O
73、urauditor,Marcum Asia CPAs LLP(“Marcum Asia”),is headquartered in Manhattan,NewYork,and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a periodic basis.Therefore,ourauditor was not identified in this report as a firm subject to the PCAOBsdetermination.On August26,2022,the CSRC,the Ministry of Finance of the PRC
74、,andthe PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol,or the Protocol,governing inspections andinvestigations of audit firms based in China and Hong Kong.Pursuant to theProtocol,the PCAOB shall have independent discretion to select any issuer audits forinspection or investigation and has the unfettered abili
75、ty to transfer information tothe SEC.On December 15,2022,the PCAOB issued a Determination Report whichdetermined that the PCAOB(1)is able to select engagements,audit areas,andpotential violations to be reviewed or investigated,(2)has timely access to,andthe ability to retain and use,any document or
76、information that the PCAOB considersrelevant to an inspection or investigation,and(3)is able to conduct inspectionsand investigations in a manner consistent with the provisions of the HFCAA and therules of the board of PCAOB,as interpreted and applied by the PCAOB.Consequently,the PCAOB concluded th
77、at in the absence of any evidence that authorities in the PRCcurrently are taking any positions to impair the PCAOBs ability to execute itsstatutory mandate with respect to inspections or investigations,the HFCAA dictatesthat the PCAOB vacate the 2021 determinations.As required by the HFCAA,if in th
78、efuture the PCAOB determines it no longer can inspect or investigate completelybecause of a position taken by an authority in the PRC,the PCAOB will actexpeditiously to consider whether the board of the PCAOB should issue a newdetermination.On December 29,2022,the Accelerating Holding Foreign Compan
79、iesAccountable Act(the“AHFCAA”)was enacted,which amended the HFCAA by decreasingthe number of non-inspectionyears from threeyears to two,thus reducing the timeperiod before our ordinary shares may be prohibited from trading or delisted.OnDecember 29,2022,legislation entitled“Consolidated Appropriati
80、ons Act,2023”(the“Consolidated Appropriations Act”)was signed into law.The ConsolidatedAppropriations Act contains,among other things,an identical provision to theAHFCAA,which reduces the number of consecutive non-inspection years required fortriggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA from three ye
81、ars to two.If the PCAOB isunable to inspect or investigate completely the Companys auditors for a period oftwo consecutive years,our securities may be prohibited from trading and Nasdaq maydetermine to delist the Companys securities.Notwithstanding the foregoing,if thePCAOB later determined that it
82、is not able to inspect and investigate completely ourauditors work papers in HongKong,you may be deprived of the benefits of suchinspection which could result in limitation or restriction to our access to theU.S.capital markets and trading of our securities may be prohibited under the HFCAAand Nasda
83、q may determine to delist our securities if the PCAOB determines that itcannot inspect or investigate completely our auditor under the HFCAA.See“RiskFactorsRisks Related to Conducting Operations in Hong Kong Under the HFCAA,our ordinary shares may be prohibited from being traded on any U.S.securitie
84、sexchange,including the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq,or through any othertrading method within the SECs regulatory jurisdiction,if our auditor is notinspected by the PCAOB for three consecutive years,and this ultimately could resultin trading in our ordinary shares being prohibited.Furthermore
85、,the AHFCAA amendsthe HFCAA and requires the SEC to prohibit an issuers securities from trading onany U.S.stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for twoconsecutive years instead of three”for more information.We are an“emerging growth company,”as that term is used in theJu

184、ons in HongKongOur operational activities are primarily conducted in Hong Kong through ourindirect wholly-owned subsidiaries.We do not provide any security-relatedengineering services,security guarding and screening services or relatedvocational training services in mainland China or solicit custome
185、rs or collect,store or process any personal data of any customer in mainland China,and are notregulated by any regulator in mainland China.We do not maintain any office inmainland China and our directors and officers are mainly based in HongKong.It isuncertain what potential impact such modified or
186、new laws and regulations will haveon our daily business operation,our ability to accept foreign investments and thelisting of our ordinary shares on a U.S.or other foreign exchanges.These actionscould result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of ourordinary shares and could sign
187、ificantly limit or completely hinder our ability tooffer or continue to offer our securities to investors.We are aware that recently,the PRC government initiated a series of regulatoryactions and statements to regulate business operations in China with little advancenotice,including cracking down on
188、 illegal activities in the securities market,enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using a VIEstructure,adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews,andexpanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.As advised by our PRC counsel,Han Kun Law Office
189、s,and our HongKong counsel,Watson Farley&Williams LLP,theBasic Law stipulates that national laws of the PRC do not apply in HongKong unlessthey are listed in AnnexIII of the Basic Law and applied locally by promulgationor local legislation.The Basic Law came into effect on July 1,1997.It is theconst
190、itutional document of Hong Kong,which sets out the PRCs basic policiesregarding Hong Kong.The principle of“one country,two systems”is a prominentfeature of the Basic Law,which dictates that Hong Kong will retain its uniquecommon law and capitalist system for 50 years after the handover in 1997.Under
191、 theprinciple of“one country,two systems”,Hong Kongs legal system,which isdifferent from that of the PRC,is based on common law,supplemented by statutes.National laws that may be listed in AnnexIII are currently limited under the BasicLaw to those which fall within the scope of defense and foreign a
192、ffairs as well asother matters outside the limits of the autonomy of Hong Kong.National lawsrelating to data protection,cybersecurity and the anti-monopoly have not beenlisted in AnnexIII and so do not apply directly to HongKong.While the NationalPeoples Congress of the PRC has the power to amend th
193、e Basic Law,the Basic Lawalso expressly provides that no amendment to the Basic Law shall contravene theestablished basic policies of the PRC regarding Hong Kong.As a result,thenational laws of the PRC do not currently have any material impact on our business,financial condition and results of opera
194、tions.Currently,our business of providingsecurity-related engineering services,security guarding and screening services,and related vocational training services is not affected under these regulatoryactions,however,if the legislative or administrative regulation making bodieschange their focus to th
195、e sector which we operate in,it may impact our ability toconduct our business,accept foreign investments,or list on a U.S.or otherforeign exchange.There is no assurance that certain laws of the PRC,includingexisting laws and regulations and those enacted or promulgated in the future,willnot be appli
196、cable to our Hong Kong subsidiaries due to change in the currentpolitical arrangements between mainland China and Hong Kong or other reasons,whether foreseeable or not presently foreseeable.As we operate in HongKong,aspecial administrative region of China,there is no guarantee that if certainexistin
197、g or future laws of the PRC become applicable to a company such as us,itwill not have a material adverse impact on our business,financial condition andresults of operations and/or our ability to offer or continue to offer securitiesto investors,any of which may cause the value of our ordinary shares
198、 tosignificantly decline or be worthless.Any future action by the PRC governmentexpanding the categories of industries and companies whose foreign securitiesofferings are subject to government review could significantly limit or completelyhinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities t

203、y6,2021,the relevant PRC government authorities published the Opinions onStrictly Cracking Down Illegal Securities Activities in Accordance with the Law.These opinions call for strengthened regulation over illegal securities activitiesand increased supervision of overseas listings by China-based com
204、panies,andpropose to take effective measures,such as promoting the construction of relevantregulatory systems to regulate the risks and incidents faced by China-basedoverseas-listed companies.As of the date of this prospectus,no official guidanceor related implementation rules have been issued in re
205、lation to these recentlyissued opinions and the interpretation and implementation of these opinions remainunclear at this stage.On February 17,2023,the CSRC promulgated the TrialMeasures and five supporting guidelines,which became effective on March 31,2023.According to the Trial Measures,among othe
206、r requirements,a PRC domestic companythat seeks to directly or indirectly offer and list securities in overseas markets,if both explicit conditions set forth under Article 15(as listed under point(1)below)are satisfied with respect to an“indirect offering and listing”,shallfulfill the filing procedu
207、re with the CSRC.Article 15 of the Trial Measuresprovides that(1)any overseas offering and listing made by an issuer that meetsboth the following explicit criteria will be determined as an“indirect overseasoffering and listing”:(i)any of the total assets,net assets,revenues or profitsof the domestic
208、 operating entities of the issuer in the most recent fiscal yearaccounts for more than 50%of the corresponding figure in such issuers auditedconsolidated financial statements for the same period;and(ii)the majoroperational activities are carried out in China or the main places of business arelocated
209、 in China,or the senior managers in charge of operation and management ofthe issuer are mostly Chinese citizens or are domiciled in China.(point(1)(i)andpoint(1)(ii),collectively,the“Article 15 Explicit Conditions for Filing”);and(2)the determination as to whether or not an overseas offering and lis
210、ting by PRCdomestic companies is an“indirect overseas offering and listing”,shall be madeon a“substance over form”basis(the“Discretional Clause”).We do not believethat we are required to obtain the approval from or complete the filing with theCSRC for this offering,based on the fact that our operati
211、ons are not conducted inmainland China and thus we do not meet both of the Article 15 Explicit Conditionsfor Filing at the same time as set out in the Trial Measures to determine whetheran overseas offering and listing shall be deemed as an indirect overseas offeringand listing by a domestic company
212、;however,it shall be subject to the CSRCs solediscretion to determine whether this offering will be regarded as an“indirectoverseas offering and listing”under the Discretional Clause and consequentlywhether the Company is required to obtain approval from or complete the filing withthe CSRC pursuant
213、to the Trial Measures.As the Trial Measures was newly published,there are substantial uncertainties as to its implementation and interpretation,and the CSRC may take a view that is contrary to our understanding of the TrialMeasures under the principle of“substance over form”adopted thereby regarding
214、the determination of an“indirect overseas offering and listing by PRC domesticcompanies.As of the date of this prospectus,we have not received any formalinquiry,notice,warning,sanction,or any regulatory objection from the CSRC withrespect to this offering.However,if we are required by the CSRC to su
215、bmit andcomplete the filing procedures of this offering and listing,we cannot assure youthat we will be able to complete such filings in a timely manner,or even at all.Any failure by us to comply with such filing requirements under the Trial Measuresmay result in an order to rectify,warnings and fin

242、n Law Offices,that suggests we meet both ofthe Article 15 Explicit Conditions for Filing,and thus,based on the opinion ofour PRC counsel,we believe that CSRCs approval is not required for the listingand trading of our ordinary shares on Nasdaq in the context of this offering.Additionally,as advised
243、by our Hong Kong counsel,Watson Farley&Williams LLP,based on their understanding of the current Hong Kong laws,as of the date of thisprospectus,we are not required to obtain permission from the Hong Kong authoritiesfor the trading of our ordinary shares on Nasdaq or for the offering of ourordinary s
244、hares to foreign investors outside Hong Kong.However,we cannot assureyou that relevant PRC governmental agencies,including the CSRC,would reach thesame conclusion as we do.If the CSRC or other regulatory agencies later promulgatenew rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals for
245、thisoffering and any follow-on offering,we may be unable to obtain such approvals,which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer orcontinue to offer securities to our investors.The CSRC or other PRC regulatoryagencies may also take actions requiring us,or making it advisab
246、le for us,to haltthis offering before the settlement and delivery of the ordinary shares that we areoffering.Consequently,if you engage in market trading or other activities inanticipation of and prior to the settlement and delivery of the ordinary shares weare offering,you would be doing so at the

261、if in the future the PCAOB determines it no longer caninspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority inthe PRC,the PCAOB will act expeditiously to consider whether the board of thePCAOB should issue a new determination.On December 29,2022,the AcceleratingHolding Foreig
262、n Companies Accountable Act(the“AHFCAA”)was enacted,whichamended the HFCAA by decreasing the number of non-inspection years from three yearsto two,thus reducing the time period before our ordinary shares may be prohibitedfrom trading or delisted.On December 29,2022,legislation entitled“ConsolidatedA
263、ppropriations Act,2023”(the“Consolidated Appropriations Act”)was signed intolaw.The Consolidated Appropriations Act contains,among other things,an identicalprovision to the AHFCAA,which reduces the number of consecutive non-inspectionyears required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA fro

313、r the“defacto management body”of a PRC-controlled enterprise that is incorporated offshoreis located in China.According to SAT Notice 82,an offshore incorporatedenterprise controlled by a PRC enterprise or a PRC enterprise group will beregarded as a PRC tax resident by virtue of having its“de facto
