−Removed: Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
−Removed: Disclosure controls are
−Removed: procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under
−Removed: the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the
−Removed: SEC’s rules and forms.
−Removed: Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated
−Removed: and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow
−Removed: timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
−Removed: Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current chief executive
−Removed: officer and chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
−Removed: procedures as of December 31, 2019, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act.
−Removed: Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying
−Removed: Officers concluded that, as of December 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
−Removed: We do not expect that
−Removed: our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud.
−Removed: Disclosure controls and procedures,
−Removed: no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure
−Removed: controls and procedures are met.
−Removed: Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are
−Removed: resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs.
−Removed: Because of the inherent limitations in all
−Removed: disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we
−Removed: have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any.
−Removed: The design of disclosure controls and procedures also
−Removed: is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will
−Removed: succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

+Added: required by SEC rules and regulations implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our management is responsible for
+Added: establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.

−Removed: officers, directors or advisors, prior to, or in connection with any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation
−Removed: of our initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is).
−Removed: However, these individuals will be reimbursed
−Removed: for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses
−Removed: and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations.
−Removed: Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments

−Removed: ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business combination,
−Removed: although it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to
−Removed: remain with us after our initial business combination.
−Removed: The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements
−Removed: to retain their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business
−Removed: but we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination
