Additionally,
−Removed: we believe that our independent director nominees will provide public company governance, executive leadership, operational oversight,
−Removed: private equity investment management and capital markets experience.
−Removed: Our directors have experience with acquisitions, divestitures and
−Removed: corporate strategy and implementation, which we believe will significantly benefit us as we evaluate potential acquisition or merger
−Removed: candidates as well as following the completion of our initial business combination.
−Removed: believe our management team is well positioned to take advantage of the growing set of acquisition opportunities focused on the intelligent
−Removed: transportation sector and that our contacts and relationships, ranging from owners and management teams of private and public companies,
−Removed: private equity funds, investment bankers, attorneys, to accountants and business brokers will allow us to generate an attractive transaction
−Removed: for our shareholders.
−Removed: addition, our sponsor has engaged the services of ARC Group Limited to provide financial advisory services to our sponsor in connection
−Removed: with the IPO, which services include an analysis of markets, positioning, financial models, organizational structure and capital requirements
−Removed: as well as assistance with the public offering process including assisting in the preparation of financial information and statements.
−Removed: past performance of the members of our management team, our sponsor’s financial advisor or their affiliates is not a guarantee
−Removed: that we will be able to identify a suitable candidate for our initial business combination or of success with respect to any business
−Removed: combination we may consummate.
−Removed: You should not rely on the historical record of the performance of our management team or any of its affiliates’
−Removed: performance as indicative of our future performance.
−Removed: Chief Financial Officer is a citizen of Hong Kong.
−Removed: Additionally, one of our three independent director nominees, resides in China.
−Removed: we are not targeting target companies in China, we may consider a business combination with an entity or business with a physical presence
−Removed: or other significant ties to China, including Hong Kong and Macau, which may subject the post-business combination business to the laws,
−Removed: regulations and policies of China.
−Removed: Any target for a business combination may conduct operations through subsidiaries in China.
−Removed: and regulatory risks associated with doing business in China discussed in this report may make us a less attractive partner in an initial
−Removed: business combination than other special purpose acquisition companies that do not have any ties to China.
−Removed: As such, our ties to China
−Removed: may make it harder for us to complete an initial business combination with a target company without any such ties.
−Removed: In addition, we will
−Removed: not conduct a business combination with any target company that conducts operations through variable interest entities (“ VIEs ”),
−Removed: which are a series of contractual arrangements used to provide the economic benefits of foreign investment in Chinese-based companies
−Removed: where Chinese law prohibits direct foreign investment in the operating companies.
−Removed: As a result, this may limit the pool of acquisition
−Removed: candidates we may acquire in the PRC, in particular, relative to other special purpose acquisition companies that are not subject to
−Removed: such restrictions, which could make it more difficult and costly for us to consummate a business combination with a target business operating
−Removed: in the PRC relative to such other companies.
−Removed: we were to complete a business combination with a Chinese entity, we could be subject to certain legal and operational risks associated
−Removed: with or having the majority of post-business combination operations in China.
−Removed: PRC laws and regulations governing PRC based business operations
−Removed: are sometimes vague and uncertain, and as a result these risks may result in material changes in the operations of any post-business
−Removed: combination subsidiaries, significant depreciation of the value of our ordinary shares, or a complete hindrance of our ability to offer,
−Removed: or continue to offer, our securities to investors, including investors in the United States.
−Removed: Recently, the PRC government adopted a series
−Removed: of regulatory actions and issued statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down
−Removed: on illegal activities in the securities market, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the
−Removed: efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.
−Removed: These recently enacted measures, and new measures which may be implemented, could materially and
−Removed: adversely affect the operations of any post-business combination company which we may acquire as our initial business combination.
−Removed: these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation-making bodies
−Removed: will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated,
−Removed: if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on a China-based target company’s daily business
−Removed: operation, the ability to accept foreign investments and list on a U.S.
−Removed: or other foreign exchange.
−Removed: Additionally, if we effect our initial
−Removed: business combination with a business located in the PRC, the laws applicable to such business will likely govern all of our material
−Removed: agreements and we may not be able to enforce our legal rights.
−Removed: There are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and enforcement of
−Removed: PRC laws, rules and regulations which may have a material adverse impact on the value of our securities.
−Removed: If we enter into a business
−Removed: combination with a target business operating in China, cash proceeds raised from overseas financing activities, including the IPO, may
−Removed: be transferred by us to any future PRC subsidiaries via capital contribution or shareholder loans, as the case may be.
−Removed: All these risks
−Removed: could result in a material change in our or the target company’s post-combination operations and/or the value of our ordinary shares
−Removed: or could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value
−Removed: of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless.
−Removed: the PRC government has significant authority to exert influence on the ability of a China-based company to conduct its business, make
−Removed: or accept foreign investments or list on a U.S.
−Removed: stock exchange.
−Removed: For example, if we enter into a business combination with a target business
−Removed: operating in China, the combined company may face risks associated with regulatory approvals of the proposed business combination between
−Removed: us and the target, offshore offerings, anti-monopoly regulatory actions, cybersecurity and data privacy.
−Removed: The PRC government may also
−Removed: intervene with or influence the combined company’s operations at any time as the government deems appropriate to further regulatory,
−Removed: political and societal goals.
−Removed: PRC government has recently published new policies that significantly affected certain industries such as the education and internet
−Removed: industries, and we cannot rule out the possibility that it will in the future release regulations or policies regarding any industry
−Removed: that could adversely affect our potential business combination with a PRC operating business and the business, financial condition and
−Removed: results of operations of the combined company.
−Removed: Any such action, once taken by the PRC government, could make it more difficult and costly
−Removed: for us to consummate a business combination with a target business operating in the PRC, result in material changes in the combined company’s
−Removed: post-combination operations and cause the value of the combined company’s securities to significantly decline, or in extreme cases,
−Removed: become worthless or completely hinder the combined company’s ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors.
−Removed: see those factors described under the heading “ Risk Factors ” in our filings from time to time with the SEC.
−Removed: February 17, 2023, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “ CSRC ”) promulgated the Trial Administrative Measures
−Removed: of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “ Trial Measures ”), which took effect on March
−Removed: The Trial Measures supersede the prior rules and clarified and emphasized several aspects, which include but are not limited
−Removed: (1) comprehensive determination of the “indirect overseas offering and listing by PRC domestic companies” in compliance
−Removed: with the principle of “substance over form” and particularly, an issuer will be required to go through the filing procedures
−Removed: under the Trial Measures if the following criteria are met at the same time:
−Removed: (a) 50% or more of the issuer’s operating revenue,
−Removed: total profit, total assets or net assets as documented in its audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent accounting
−Removed: year comes from PRC domestic companies, and (b) the main parts of the issuer’s business activities are conducted in mainland China,
−Removed: or its main places of business are located in mainland China, or the senior managers in charge of its business operation and management
−Removed: are mostly Chinese citizens or domiciled in mainland China;
−Removed: (2) exemptions from immediate filing requirements for issuers that (a) have
−Removed: already been listed or registered but not yet listed in foreign securities markets, including U.S.
−Removed: markets, prior to the effective date
−Removed: of the Trial Measures, (b) are not required to re-perform the regulatory procedures with the relevant overseas regulatory authority or
−Removed: the overseas stock exchange, and (c) whose such overseas securities offering or listing shall be completed before September 30, 2023,
−Removed: provided however that such issuers shall carry out filing procedures as required if they conduct refinancing or are involved in other
−Removed: circumstances that require filing with the CSRC;
−Removed: (3) a negative list of types of issuers banned from listing or offering overseas, such
−Removed: as (a) issuers whose listing or offering overseas has been recognized by the State Council of the PRC as a possible threat to national
−Removed: security, (b) issuers whose affiliates have been recently convicted of bribery and corruption, (c) issuers under ongoing criminal investigations,
−Removed: and (d) issuers under major disputes regarding equity ownership;
−Removed: (4) issuers’ compliance with web security, data security, and
−Removed: other national security laws and regulations;
−Removed: (5) issuers’ filing and reporting obligations, such as the obligation to file with
−Removed: the CSRC after it submits an application for initial public offering to overseas regulators, and the obligation after offering or listing
−Removed: overseas to report to the CSRC material events including a change of control or voluntary or forced delisting of the issuer;
−Removed: the CSRC’s authority to fine both issuers and their shareholders between 1 and 10 million RMB for failure to comply with the Trial
−Removed: Measures, including failure to comply with filing obligations or committing fraud and misrepresentation.
−Removed: believe we are not required to obtain approvals from any PRC government authorities, including the CSRC or the Cyberspace Administration
−Removed: of China (“ CAC ”), or any other government entity, to issue our securities to foreign investors and to list on a U.S.
−Removed: exchange or to search for a target company.
−Removed: As of the date of this report, we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanctions
−Removed: or regulatory objection to the IPO from the CSRC or any other PRC governmental authorities.
−Removed: However, applicable laws, regulations, or
−Removed: interpretations of the PRC may change or we could be mistaken about these rules applicability, and the relevant PRC government agencies
−Removed: could reach a different conclusion and may subject us to a stringent approval process from the relevant government entities in connection
−Removed: with the IPO, continued listing on a U.S.
−Removed: exchange, the potential business combination, the issuance of shares or the maintenance of
−Removed: our status as a publicly listed company outside China, and the post business combination entity’s PRC operations if our business
−Removed: combination target is a PRC Target Company.
−Removed: If the CSRC or the CAC, or any other governmental or regulatory body subsequently determines
−Removed: that its approval is needed for the IPO, a business combination, the issuance of our ordinary shares upon exercise of the rights, or
−Removed: maintaining our status as a publicly listed company outside China, we may face approval delays, adverse actions or sanctions by the CSRC,
−Removed: CAC and/or other PRC regulatory agencies.
−Removed: It is uncertain whether we will be required to obtain permission from the PRC government to
−Removed: continue to list on a U.S.
−Removed: exchange in the future and offer our securities to foreign investors.
−Removed: If approval is required in the future,
−Removed: including pursuant to the Trial Measures, and we are denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on U.S.
−Removed: exchanges or offer our
−Removed: securities to foreign investors, we may not be able to continue listing on a U.S.
−Removed: exchange or be subject to other severe consequences,
−Removed: which would materially affect our ability to complete a business combination in which case we may have to liquidate which would be adverse
−Removed: to the interests of the investors.
−Removed: In addition, any changes in PRC law, regulations, or interpretations may severely affect our operations
−Removed: after the IPO.
−Removed: The use of the term “operate” and “operations” includes the process of searching for a target
−Removed: business and conducting related activities.
−Removed: To that extent, we may not be able to conduct the process of searching for a potential target
−Removed: company in China.
−Removed: are numerous risks and uncertainties related to doing business in China including:
−Removed: changes in political and economic policies or political or social conditions of the PRC government could have a material adverse
−Removed: effect on the overall economic growth of China;
−Removed: Uncertainties
−Removed: with respect to the PRC legal system could limit legal protections available to you and us;
−Removed: may be difficult for overseas regulators to conduct investigations or collect evidence within China
−Removed: companies in certain business sectors are required to undergo national security review or obtain clearance from relevant authorities
−Removed: if necessary before making any filings with the CSRC.

−Removed: of our officers and directors may become an officer or director of another special purpose acquisition company with a class of securities
−Removed: intended to be registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, even before we have entered into

−Removed: For more information, see the section of this report entitled “ Management
−Removed: — Conflicts of Interest ” and “ Risk Factors .”
+Added: the underwriters are entitled to $690,000, equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds of this offering, payable to the underwriters as deferred
