+Added: may not be afforded an opportunity to vote on our proposed initial business combination, which means we may complete our initial
+Added: business combination even though a majority of our public shareholders do not support such a combination.
+Added: If we seek shareholder
+Added: approval of our initial business combination, our initial shareholders have agreed to vote their founder shares and private shares
+Added: in favor of such initial business combination, regardless of how our public shareholders vote.
+Added: Your only opportunity to
+Added: affect the investment decision regarding a potential business combination will be limited to the exercise of your right to redeem
+Added: your shares from us for cash, unless we seek shareholder approval of the initial business combination.
+Added: The ability of our public
+Added: shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our shares may not allow us to complete the most desirable
+Added: initial business combination or optimize our capital structure.
+Added: Our search for a business
+Added: combination, and any target business with which we ultimately consummate an initial business combination, may be materially adversely
+Added: affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the status of debt and equity markets, as well as protectionist legislation in
+Added: our target markets.
+Added: The requirement that we
+Added: complete our initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of our IPO (or up to 24 months, if we extend the time
+Added: to complete an initial business combination) may give potential target businesses leverage over us in negotiating an initial business
+Added: combination and may decrease our ability to conduct due diligence on potential initial business combination targets as we approach
+Added: our dissolution deadline.
+Added: We may not be able to complete
+Added: our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame, in which case we would cease all operations except for the purpose
+Added: of winding up.
+Added: You will not have any rights
+Added: or interests in funds from the trust account, except under certain limited circumstances.
+Added: To liquidate your investment, therefore,
+Added: you may be forced to sell your public shares or rights potentially at a loss.
+Added: If we seek shareholder
+Added: approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, and if you or
+Added: a “group” of shareholders are deemed to hold in excess of 15% of our ordinary shares, you will lose the ability to redeem
+Added: all such shares in excess of 15% of our ordinary shares.
+Added: Because of our limited
+Added: resources and the significant competition for business combination opportunities, it may be more difficult for us to complete our
+Added: initial business combination and our rights will expire worthless.
+Added: We may seek acquisition
+Added: opportunities in industries or sectors which may be outside of our management’s area of expertise.
+Added: Although we have identified
+Added: general criteria and guidelines that we believe are important in evaluating prospective target businesses, we may enter into our
+Added: initial business combination with a target that does not meet such criteria and guidelines.
+Added: Because we are not limited
+Added: to a particular industry, sector, or any specific target businesses with which to pursue our initial business combination, you will
+Added: be unable to ascertain the merits or risks of any particular target business’s operations.
+Added: Our ability to complete
+Added: a business combination may be impacted by the fact that our sponsor’s major shareholder, Pengfei Zheng, is a non-U.S.
+Added: and a majority of our officers and directors are located in, or have significant ties to, China.
+Added: This may make us a less attractive
+Added: partner to potential target companies outside the PRC, thereby limiting our pool of acquisition candidates and making it harder for
+Added: us to complete an initial business combination with a non-China-based target company.
+Added: For example, we may not be able to complete
+Added: an initial business combination with a U.S.
+Added: target company since such initial business combination may be subject to U.S.
+Added: investment regulations and review by a U.S.
+Added: government entity, such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS),
+Added: or ultimately prohibited.
