−Removed: The time required to select

−Removed: are not currently ascertainable with any degree of certainty.
−Removed: Any costs incurred with respect to the identification and evaluation of
−Removed: a prospective target business with which our initial Business Combination is not ultimately completed will result in our incurring losses

−Removed: We are not prohibited from
−Removed: pursuing an initial Business Combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor, officers or directors, or completing the
−Removed: business combination through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with our Sponsor, officers or directors.
−Removed: In the event we
−Removed: seek to complete an initial Business Combination with a target that is affiliated with our Sponsor, officers or directors, we, or a committee
−Removed: of independent directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or a valuation
−Removed: or appraisal firm that such an initial Business Combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view.
−Removed: Members of our management
−Removed: team and our independent directors directly or indirectly own Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants and, accordingly, may have
−Removed: a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial
−Removed: Business Combination.
−Removed: The low price that our Sponsor, executive officers and directors (directly or indirectly) paid for the Founder Shares
−Removed: creates an incentive whereby our officers and directors could potentially make a substantial profit even if we select an acquisition target
−Removed: that subsequently declines in value and is unprofitable for Public Shareholders.
−Removed: If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination
−Removed: within the Completion Window, the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants may expire worthless, except to the extent they receive
−Removed: liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account, which could create an incentive for our Sponsor, executive officers and
−Removed: directors to complete a transaction even if we select an acquisition target that subsequently declines in value and is unprofitable for
−Removed: Public Shareholders.
−Removed: Further, each of our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular
−Removed: business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition
−Removed: to any agreement with respect to our initial Business Combination.
−Removed: Each of our officers and directors
−Removed: presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to another entity pursuant to which
−Removed: such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity.
−Removed: Accordingly, if any of our
−Removed: officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then
−Removed: current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such business
−Removed: combination opportunity to such other entity, subject to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law.
−Removed: Our amended and restated memorandum
−Removed: and articles of association provide that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:
−Removed: (i) no individual serving as a director or
−Removed: an officer shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly
−Removed: in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as us, and (ii) we renounce any interest or expectancy in, or in being
−Removed: offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for any director or
−Removed: officer, on the one hand, and us, on the other.
−Removed: In addition, our Sponsor and
−Removed: our officers and directors may Sponsor or form other special purpose acquisition companies similar to ours or may pursue other business
−Removed: or investment ventures during the period in which we are seeking an initial Business Combination.
−Removed: Any such companies, businesses or investments
−Removed: may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing an initial Business Combination.
−Removed: However, we do not believe that such duties
−Removed: or obligations will materially affect our ability to complete our initial Business Combination.
−Removed: Redemption Rights for Public Shareholders upon Completion of
+Added: time required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete our initial Business Combination, and the costs
+Added: associated with this process, are not currently ascertainable with any degree of certainty.
+Added: Any costs incurred with respect to the identification
+Added: and evaluation of a prospective target business with which our initial Business Combination is not ultimately completed will result in
+Added: our incurring losses and will reduce the funds we can use to complete another business combination.
+Added: are not prohibited from pursuing an initial Business Combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor, officers or directors,
+Added: or completing the business combination through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with our Sponsor, officers or directors.
+Added: In the event we seek to complete an initial Business Combination with a target that is affiliated with our Sponsor, officers or directors,
+Added: we, or a committee of independent directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of
+Added: FINRA or a valuation or appraisal firm that such an initial Business Combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view.
+Added: of our management team and our independent directors directly or indirectly own Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants and, accordingly,
+Added: may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate
our initial Business Combination.
−Removed: We will provide our Public
−Removed: Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of our initial Business Combination
−Removed: either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the business combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote
−Removed: by means of a tender offer.
−Removed: Each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem its Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against
−Removed: the initial Business Combination, or whether they do not vote or abstain from voting on the initial Business Combination, or whether they
−Removed: were a shareholder on the record date for the shareholder meeting held to approve the initial Business Combination.
−Removed: The decision as to
−Removed: whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed business combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our
−Removed: discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would
−Removed: require us to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement or whether we were deemed to be a foreign
−Removed: private issuer (which would require a tender offer rather than seeking shareholder approval under SEC rules).
−Removed: Asset acquisitions and share
−Removed: purchases would not typically require shareholder approval while direct mergers with our company and any transactions where we issue more
−Removed: than 20% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares or seek to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association
−Removed: would require shareholder approval.
−Removed: So long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, we will be required to comply
−Removed: with Nasdaq’s shareholder approval rules.

−Removed: Such provisions may be amended if approved by a special resolution, which requires the affirmative
−Removed: vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders of the issued shares present in person or represented by proxy
−Removed: and entitled to vote on such matter at a general meeting of the company, so long as we offer redemption in connection with such amendment.

−Removed: with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in connection with a general meeting, we will, pursuant to our amended and restated
−Removed: memorandum and articles of association:
−Removed: ● conduct the redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation
−Removed: pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies, and not pursuant to the tender
+Added: The low price that our Sponsor, executive officers and directors (directly or indirectly) paid for
+Added: the Founder Shares creates an incentive whereby our officers and directors could potentially make a substantial profit even if we select
+Added: an acquisition target that subsequently declines in value and is unprofitable for Public Shareholders.
+Added: If we are unable to complete our
+Added: initial Business Combination within the Completion Window, the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants may expire worthless, except
+Added: to the extent they receive liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account, which could create an incentive for our Sponsor,
+Added: executive officers and directors to complete a transaction even if we select an acquisition target that subsequently declines in value
+Added: and is unprofitable for Public Shareholders.
+Added: Further, each of our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect
+Added: to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a
+Added: target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial Business Combination.
+Added: of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations

+Added: Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies, and not pursuant to the tender
offer rules, and
−Removed: ● file proxy materials with the SEC.
−Removed: In the event that we seek
−Removed: shareholder approval of our initial Business Combination, we will distribute proxy materials and, in connection therewith, provide our
−Removed: Public Shareholders with the redemption rights described above upon completion of the initial Business Combination.
−Removed: If we seek shareholder approval,
−Removed: we will complete our initial Business Combination only if we obtain the approval of an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, which
−Removed: requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders of the issued shares present in person or represented
−Removed: by proxy and entitled to vote on such matter at a general meeting of the company.
−Removed: A quorum for such meeting will be present if the holders
−Removed: of one-third of issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote at the meeting are represented in person or by proxy.
−Removed: officers and directors will count toward this quorum and, pursuant to the letter agreement, our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed
−Removed: to vote their Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after our Initial Public Offering (including in open market and
−Removed: privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of our initial Business Combination.
−Removed: For purposes of seeking approval of an ordinary
−Removed: resolution, non-votes will have no effect on the approval of our initial Business Combination once a quorum is obtained.
−Removed: that only one-third of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares, representing a quorum under our amended and restated memorandum
−Removed: and articles of association, are voted, we will not need any Public Shares in addition to our Founder Shares to be voted in favor of an
−Removed: initial Business Combination in order to have an initial Business Combination approved.
−Removed: However, if our initial Business Combination is
−Removed: structured as a statutory merger or consolidation with another company under Cayman Islands law, the approval of our initial Business
−Removed: Combination will require a special resolution, which requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by the
−Removed: shareholders of the issued shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on such matter at a general meeting of
−Removed: Each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed
−Removed: transaction or whether they were a Public Shareholder on the record date for the general meeting held to approve the proposed transaction.
−Removed: If a shareholder vote is not
−Removed: required and we do not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, we will:
−Removed: ● conduct the redemptions pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and
−Removed: Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, which regulate issuer tender offers, and
−Removed: ● file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing
−Removed: our initial Business Combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial Business Combination
−Removed: and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies.
−Removed: In the event we conduct redemptions
−Removed: pursuant to the tender offer rules, our offer to redeem will remain open for at least 20 business days, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(a) under
−Removed: the Exchange Act, and we will not be permitted to complete our initial Business Combination until the expiration of the tender offer
−Removed: In addition, the tender offer will be conditioned on Public Shareholders not tendering more than the number of Public Shares we
−Removed: are permitted to redeem.
−Removed: If Public Shareholders tender more shares than we have offered to purchase, we will withdraw the tender offer
−Removed: and not complete the initial Business Combination.
−Removed: Upon the public announcement
−Removed: of our initial Business Combination, if we elect to conduct redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules, we or our Sponsor will terminate
−Removed: any plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 to purchase our Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market, in order to
−Removed: comply with Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act.
−Removed: We intend to require our Public
−Removed: Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name,”
−Removed: to, at the holder’s option, either deliver their share certificates to our transfer agent or deliver their shares to our transfer
−Removed: agent electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system, prior to the date set forth
−Removed: in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable.
−Removed: In the case of proxy materials, this date may be up to two business
−Removed: days prior to the scheduled vote on the proposal to approve the initial Business Combination.
−Removed: In addition, if we conduct redemptions in
−Removed: connection with a shareholder vote, we intend to require a Public Shareholder seeking redemption of its Public Shares to also submit a
−Removed: written request for redemption to our transfer agent two business days prior to the scheduled vote in which the name of the beneficial
−Removed: owner of such shares is included.
−Removed: The proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, that we will furnish to holders of our
−Removed: Public Shares in connection with our initial Business Combination will indicate whether we are requiring Public Shareholders to satisfy
−Removed: such delivery requirements.
−Removed: We believe that this will allow our transfer agent to efficiently process any redemptions without the need
−Removed: for further communication or action from the redeeming Public Shareholders, which could delay redemptions and result in additional administrative
−Removed: If the proposed initial Business Combination is not approved and we continue to search for a target company, we will promptly return
−Removed: any certificates or shares delivered by Public Shareholders who elected to redeem their shares.
−Removed: We will provide our Public
−Removed: Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem, regardless of whether they abstain, vote for, or against, our initial Business Combination,
−Removed: all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of our initial Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash,
−Removed: equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the
−Removed: initial Business Combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued
−Removed: and outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations and on the conditions described herein.
−Removed: The amount in the Trust Account is initially
−Removed: anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share.
−Removed: The per share amount we will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will
−Removed: not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions we will pay to the underwriters.
−Removed: The redemption rights will include the requirement
−Removed: that any beneficial owner on whose behalf a redemption right is being exercised must identify itself in order to validly redeem its shares.
−Removed: Our Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption
−Removed: rights with respect to their Founder Shares and any Public Shares they may hold in connection with the completion of our initial Business
−Removed: Combination or an earlier redemption in connection with the commencement of the consummation of the initial Business Combination if we
−Removed: determine it is desirable to facilitate the completion of the initial Business Combination.
−Removed: Our proposed initial Business
−Removed: Combination may impose a minimum cash requirement for (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash
−Removed: for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions.
−Removed: the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all Class A Ordinary Shares that are validly submitted for redemption
−Removed: plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed initial Business Combination exceed the aggregate
−Removed: amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the initial Business Combination or redeem any shares, and all Class A Ordinary Shares
−Removed: submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof.
−Removed: We may, however, raise funds through the issuance of equity-linked securities
−Removed: or through loans, advances or other indebtedness in connection with our initial Business Combination, including pursuant to forward purchase
−Removed: agreements or backstop arrangements we may enter into following the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, in order to, among other
−Removed: reasons, satisfy such net tangible assets or minimum cash requirements.
−Removed: If we seek shareholder approval
−Removed: of our initial Business Combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial Business Combination pursuant to
−Removed: the tender offer rules, our Sponsor, initial shareholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares or Public
−Removed: Warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial Business
−Removed: Combination, although they are under no obligation or duty to do so.
−Removed: Any such price per share may be different than the amount per share
−Removed: a Public Shareholder would receive if it elected to redeem its shares in connection with our initial Business Combination.
−Removed: Such a purchase
−Removed: may include a contractual acknowledgment that such shareholder, although still the record holder of our shares is no longer the beneficial
−Removed: owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights.
−Removed: In the event that our Sponsor,
−Removed: initial shareholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public
−Removed: Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their
−Removed: prior elections to redeem their shares.
−Removed: The purpose of any such purchases
−Removed: of shares could be to (i) vote such shares in favor of the business combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining
−Removed: shareholder approval of the business combination or (ii) to satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires
−Removed: us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our initial Business Combination, where it appears that such
−Removed: requirement would otherwise not be met.
−Removed: The purpose of any such purchases of Public Warrants could be to reduce the number of Public Warrants
−Removed: outstanding or to vote such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrantholders for approval in connection with our initial Business
−Removed: Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of our initial Business Combination that may not otherwise
−Removed: have been possible.
−Removed: In addition, if such purchases
−Removed: are made, the public “float” of our Class A Ordinary Shares or Public Warrants may be reduced and the number of beneficial
−Removed: holders of our securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities
−Removed: on a national securities exchange.
−Removed: Our Sponsor, officers, directors
−Removed: and/or their affiliates anticipate that they may identify the shareholders with whom our initial shareholders, officers, directors or
−Removed: their affiliates may pursue privately negotiated purchases by either the shareholders contacting us directly or by our receipt of redemption
−Removed: requests submitted by shareholders (in the case of Class A Ordinary Shares) following our mailing of proxy materials in connection with
−Removed: our initial Business Combination.
−Removed: To the extent that our Sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or their affiliates enter into a private
−Removed: purchase, they would identify and contact only potential selling shareholders who have expressed their election to redeem their shares
−Removed: for a pro rata share of the Trust Account or vote against our initial Business Combination, whether or not such shareholder has already
−Removed: submitted a proxy with respect to our initial Business Combination but only if such shares have not already been voted at the general
−Removed: meeting related to our initial Business Combination.
−Removed: Our Sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or any of their affiliates will select
−Removed: which shareholders to purchase shares from based on a negotiated price and number of shares and any other factors that they may deem relevant,
−Removed: and will only purchase shares if such purchases comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act and the other federal securities
−Removed: Our Sponsor, officers, directors and/or their affiliates will not make purchases of shares if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or
−Removed: Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act.
−Removed: Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of
−Removed: the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements.
−Removed: Our Sponsor, initial shareholders,
−Removed: directors, officers and their affiliates will be restricted from making purchases of shares if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or
−Removed: Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act.
−Removed: Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of
−Removed: the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements.

−Removed: Notwithstanding the foregoing,
−Removed: if we seek shareholder approval of our initial Business Combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial Business
−Removed: Combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that a Public
−Removed: Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as
−Removed: a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with
−Removed: respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares without our prior consent, which we refer to as the “Excess Shares.”
−Removed: We believe this restriction will discourage shareholders from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent attempts by such holders
−Removed: to use their ability to exercise their redemption rights against a proposed business combination as a means to force us or our management
−Removed: to purchase their shares at a significant premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms.
−Removed: Absent this provision,
−Removed: a Public Shareholder holding more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares could threaten to exercise its redemption rights if such
−Removed: holder’s shares are not purchased by us, our Sponsor or our management at a premium to the then-current market price or on
−Removed: other undesirable terms.
−Removed: By limiting our shareholders’ ability to redeem no more than 15% of the Public Shares, we believe we will
−Removed: limit the ability of a small group of shareholders to unreasonably attempt to block our ability to complete our initial Business Combination,
−Removed: particularly in connection with a business combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth
−Removed: or a certain amount of cash.
−Removed: However, we would not be restricting our shareholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including
−Removed: Excess Shares) for or against our initial Business Combination.
−Removed: Redemption of Public Shares if No Initial
−Removed: Business Combination
−Removed: Our amended and restated memorandum
−Removed: and articles of association provide that we will have only the duration of the Completion Window to complete our initial Business Combination.
−Removed: If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination within the Completion Window, we will as promptly as reasonably possible
−Removed: but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the
−Removed: aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000
−Removed: of interest to pay liquidation expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will constitute
−Removed: full and complete payment for the Public Shares and completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including
−Removed: the right to receive further liquidation or other distributions, if any) subject to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide
−Removed: for claims of creditors and subject to the other requirements of applicable law.
−Removed: Our Sponsor, officers and
−Removed: directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from
−Removed: the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Completion
−Removed: Window, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account.
−Removed: However, if our Sponsor or
−Removed: management team acquire Public Shares in or after our Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from
−Removed: the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares, and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account, if we fail
−Removed: to complete our initial Business Combination within the allotted Completion Window.
−Removed: Our Sponsor, officers and
−Removed: directors have agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with us, that they will not propose any amendment to our amended and restated memorandum
−Removed: and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial
−Removed: Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Completion
−Removed: Window or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination
−Removed: activity, unless we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment
−Removed: at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which
−Removed: interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares.
−Removed: We expect that all costs and
−Removed: expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining
−Removed: out of the approximately $1,000,000 of proceeds held outside the Trust Account, although we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient
−Removed: funds for such purpose.
−Removed: However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan
−Removed: of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the Trust Account not required to pay income taxes on interest income
−Removed: earned on the Trust Account balance, we may request the trustee to release to us an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued
−Removed: interest to pay those costs and expenses.
−Removed: If we were to expend all of
−Removed: the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, other than the proceeds deposited in the
−Removed: Trust Account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Account, the per-share redemption amount received
−Removed: by shareholders upon our dissolution would be approximately $10.00.
−Removed: The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become
−Removed: subject to the claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our Public Shareholders.
−Removed: We cannot assure you
−Removed: that the actual per-share redemption amount received by shareholders will not be substantially less than $10.00.
−Removed: While we intend
−Removed: to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure you that we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.
−Removed: Although we will seek to have
−Removed: all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us
−Removed: waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of our Public Shareholders,
−Removed: there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from
−Removed: bringing claims against the Trust Account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other
−Removed: similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect
−Removed: to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account.
−Removed: If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving
−Removed: such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, our management will consider whether competitive alternatives are reasonably available
−Removed: to us and will only enter into an agreement with such third party if management believes that such third party’s engagement would
−Removed: be in the best interests of the company under the circumstances.
−Removed: Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that
−Removed: refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management
−Removed: to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable
−Removed: to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver.
−Removed: WithumSmith+Brown, PC, our independent registered public accounting firm, and
−Removed: the underwriters of our Initial Public Offering will not execute agreements with us waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust
−Removed: In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result
−Removed: of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any
−Removed: In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent
−Removed: any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us (except for the company’s independent auditors), or a prospective
−Removed: target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination
−Removed: agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual
−Removed: amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share
−Removed: due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a
−Removed: third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether
−Removed: or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our Initial Public Offering
−Removed: against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
−Removed: However, we have not asked our Sponsor to reserve for such
−Removed: indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations
−Removed: and we believe that our Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company.
−Removed: Therefore, we cannot assure you that our Sponsor would
−Removed: be able to satisfy those obligations.
−Removed: As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available
−Removed: for our initial Business Combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per Public Share.
−Removed: In such event, we may not
−Removed: be able to complete our initial Business Combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption
−Removed: of your Public Shares.
−Removed: None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation,
−Removed: claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
−Removed: In the event that the proceeds
−Removed: in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share
−Removed: held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the
−Removed: value of the trust assets, in each case less taxes payable, and our Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations
−Removed: or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take
−Removed: legal action against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations.
−Removed: While we currently expect that our independent directors
−Removed: would take legal action on our behalf against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent
−Removed: directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance if, for example, the cost of such legal
−Removed: action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine
−Removed: that a favorable outcome is not likely.
−Removed: Accordingly, we cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption
−Removed: price will not be less than $10.00 per share.
−Removed: We will seek to reduce the
−Removed: possibility that our Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service
−Removed: providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title,
−Removed: interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
−Removed: Our Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under our
−Removed: indemnity of the underwriters of our Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
−Removed: We will have access to up to approximately $1,000,000 from the proceeds of our Initial Public Offering with which to pay any such potential
−Removed: claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with our liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately
−Removed: In the event that we liquidate and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient,
−Removed: shareholders who received funds from our Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors.
−Removed: If we file a bankruptcy or
−Removed: winding-up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding-up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds
−Removed: held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and
−Removed: subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders.
−Removed: To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete
−Removed: the Trust Account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return $10.00 per share to our Public Shareholders.
−Removed: Additionally, if we file
−Removed: a bankruptcy or winding-up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding-up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed,
