As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form
−Removed: 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form
−Removed: 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 other than the risk factor below.
−Removed: Foreign jurisdictions may consider us as
−Removed: operating in their jurisdiction, thus subjecting us to potential tax liabilities in such jurisdictions.
−Removed: Certain foreign jurisdictions may assert that we are a corporation operating in their jurisdiction, and thus, subject to tax in such jurisdiction.
−Removed: Should such an assertion be made, we would expend significant resources to appeal such an assertion, which appeal may or may not be successful.
−Removed: In the event that we are found to be a corporation subject to tax in a foreign jurisdiction or jurisdictions, we may be required to pay
−Removed: taxes in such jurisdiction or jurisdictions, which would result in a significant expense to us.
+Added: 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part II, Item 1A.
+Added: Risk Factors, of our Quarterly Report on Form
+Added: 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 other than the risk factor below.
+Added: If we are deemed to be an investment
+Added: company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we may be forced to abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination
+Added: and instead be required to liquidate the Company.
+Added: To mitigate the risk of that result, on or prior to the 24-month anniversary of the
+Added: effective date of the registration statement relating to our IPO, we may instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company to liquidate
+Added: the securities held in the Trust Account and instead hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash.
+Added: As a result, following such change,
+Added: we will likely receive minimal, if any, interest, on the funds held in the Trust Account, which would reduce the dollar amount that our
+Added: public shareholders would have otherwise received upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company if the assets in the Trust Account
+Added: had remained in U.S.
+Added: government securities or money market funds.
+Added: On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed
+Added: rules (the “SPAC Rule Proposals”), relating, among other things, to circumstances in which SPACs such as us could potentially
+Added: be subject to the Investment Company Act and the regulations thereunder.
+Added: The SPAC Rule Proposals would provide a safe harbor for such
+Added: companies from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, provided that
+Added: a SPAC satisfies certain criteria.
+Added: To comply with the duration limitation of the proposed safe harbor, a SPAC would have a limited time
+Added: period to announce and complete a de-SPAC transaction.
+Added: Specifically, to comply with the safe harbor, the SPAC Rule Proposals would require
+Added: a company to file a report on Form 8-K announcing that it has entered into an agreement with a target company for an initial business
+Added: combination no later than 18 months after the effective date of the registration statement for its initial public offering.
+Added: would then be required to complete its initial business combination no later than 24 months after the effective date of the registration
+Added: statement for its initial public offering.
+Added: We understand that the SEC has recently been taking informal positions regarding the Investment
+Added: Company Act consistent with the SPAC Rule Proposals.
+Added: There is currently uncertainty concerning
+Added: the applicability of the Investment Company Act to a SPAC, including a company like ours, that does not complete its initial business
+Added: combination within the proposed time frame set forth in the proposed safe harbor rule.
+Added: As indicated above, we completed our IPO in March
+Added: 23, 2021 and have operated as a blank check company searching for a target business with which to consummate an initial business combination
+Added: since such time (or approximately 18 months after the effective date of our IPO, as of the date of this Quarterly Report).
+Added: deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we might be forced to abandon our efforts to complete an
+Added: initial business combination and instead be required to liquidate the Company.
+Added: If we are required to liquidate the Company, our investors
+Added: would not be able to realize the benefits of owning shares in a successor operating business, including the potential appreciation in
+Added: the value of our shares and warrants following such a transaction, and our warrants would expire worthless.
+Added: The funds in the Trust Account have, since
+Added: our IPO, been held only in U.S.
+Added: government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing
+Added: solely in U.S.
+Added: government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act.
+Added: September 30, 2022, amounts held in Trust Account included approximately $1.9 million of accrued interest.
+Added: To mitigate the risk of us
+Added: being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may, on or prior to the
+Added: 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to our IPO, or March 17, 2023, instruct Continental
+Added: Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S.
+Added: government treasury obligations
+Added: or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash (i.e., in one or more bank
+Added: accounts) until the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or our liquidation.
+Added: Following such liquidation of the assets
+Added: in our Trust Account, we will likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account, which would reduce the
+Added: dollar amount our public shareholders would have otherwise received upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company if the assets in
+Added: the Trust Account had remained in U.S.
+Added: government securities or money market funds.
+Added: This means that the amount available for redemption
+Added: will not increase in the future.
+Added: In addition, even prior to the 24-month anniversary
+Added: of the effective date of the registration statement relating to our IPO, we may be deemed to be an investment company.
+Added: The longer that
+Added: the funds in the Trust Account are held in short-term U.S.
+Added: government securities or in money market funds invested exclusively in such
+Added: securities, even prior to the 24-month anniversary, there is a greater risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company,
+Added: in which case we may be required to liquidate.
+Added: Accordingly, we may determine, in our discretion, to liquidate the securities held in the
+Added: Trust Account at any time, even prior to the 24-month anniversary, and instead hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash, which would
+Added: further reduce the dollar amount our public shareholders would receive upon any redemption or our liquidation.
