−Removed: In particular, we will be required to comply

−Removed: Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time

−Removed: Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those
−Removed: changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations.
−Removed: In addition, a failure to comply

+Added: set forth below, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors previously disclosed in our (i) IPO Registration
+Added: Statement, (ii) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2022, and (iii) Quarterly
+Added: Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on May 16, 2022.
+Added: Any of these factors could result in
+Added: a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
+Added: Additional risks could arise that may also
+Added: affect our business or ability to consummate an initial Business Combination.
+Added: We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose
+Added: additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
+Added: Changes to laws or regulations or in how
+Added: such laws or regulations are interpreted or applied, or a failure to comply with any laws, regulations, interpretations or applications,
+Added: may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination.
+Added: We are subject to the laws and regulations, and
+Added: interpretations and applications of such laws and regulations, of national, regional, state and local governments and potentially non-U.S.
+Added: jurisdictions.
+Added: In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC and potentially other legal and regulatory requirements, and
+Added: our consummation of an initial Business Combination may be contingent upon our ability to comply with certain laws, regulations, interpretations
+Added: and applications and any post-business combination company may be subject to additional laws, regulations, interpretations and applications.
+Added: Compliance with, and monitoring of, the foregoing may be difficult, time consuming and costly.
+Added: Those laws and regulations and their interpretation
+Added: and application may also change from time to time, and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, including
+Added: our ability to negotiate and complete an initial Business Combination.
+Added: A failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted
+Added: and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete an initial Business
+Added: On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules
+Added: (the “SPAC Rule Proposals”) relating, among other items, to disclosures in SEC filings in connection with business combination
+Added: transactions involving special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) and private operating companies;
+Added: the financial statement
+Added: requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies;
+Added: the use of projections in SEC filings in connection with proposed
+Added: business combination transactions;
+Added: the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions;
+Added: the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, including a proposed rule that would provide
+Added: SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset
+Added: composition, business purpose and activities.
+Added: Certain of the procedures that we, a potential business combination target, or others may
+Added: determine to undertake in connection with the SPAC Rule Proposals, as proposed or as adopted, or pursuant to the SEC’s views expressed
+Added: in the SPAC Rule Proposals, may increase the costs and time of negotiating and completing an initial Business Combination, and may constrain
+Added: the circumstances under which we could complete an initial Business Combination.
+Added: Recent increases in inflation and interest
+Added: rates in the United States and elsewhere could make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial Business Combination.
+Added: Recent increases in inflation and interest rates
+Added: in the United States and elsewhere may lead to increased price volatility for publicly traded securities, including ours, and may lead
+Added: to other national, regional and international economic disruptions, any of which could make it more difficult for us to consummate an
+Added: initial Business Combination.
+Added: Military conflict in Ukraine or elsewhere
+Added: may lead to increased and price volatility for publicly traded securities, which could make it more difficult for us to consummate an
+Added: initial Business Combination.
+Added: Military conflict in Ukraine or elsewhere may
+Added: lead to increased and price volatility for publicly traded securities, including ours, and to other national, regional and international
+Added: economic disruptions and economic uncertainty, any of which could make it more difficult for us to identify a business combination target
+Added: and consummate an initial Business Combination on acceptable commercial terms or at all.
+Added: Resources could be wasted in researching
+Added: acquisitions that are not completed, which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with
+Added: another business.
+Added: If we have not completed our initial Business Combination within the required time period, our public stockholders
+Added: may receive only approximately $10.00 per share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account
+Added: and our warrants will expire worthless.
+Added: We anticipate that the investigation of each
+Added: specific target business and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments
+Added: will require substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for accountants, attorneys, consultants and others.
+Added: decide not to complete a specific initial Business Combination, the costs incurred up to that point for the proposed transaction likely
+Added: would not be recoverable.
+Added: Furthermore, if we reach an agreement relating to a specific target business, we may fail to complete our initial
+Added: Business Combination for any number of reasons, including those beyond our control.
+Added: Any such event will result in a loss to us of the
+Added: related costs incurred, which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business.
+Added: If we have not completed our initial Business Combination within the required time period, our public stockholders may receive only approximately
+Added: $10.00 per share, or less in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account and our warrants will expire worthless.
+Added: There may be significant competition for
+Added: us to find an attractive target for an initial Business Combination.
+Added: This could increase the costs associated with completing our initial
+Added: Business Combination and may result in our inability to find a suitable target for our initial Business Combination.
+Added: In recent years, the number of SPACs that have
+Added: been formed has increased substantially.
+Added: Many companies have entered into business combinations with SPACs, and there are still many
+Added: SPACs seeking targets for their initial Business Combination, as well as additional SPACs currently in registration.
+Added: As a result, at
+Added: times, fewer attractive targets may be available, and it may require more time, effort and resources to identify a suitable target for
+Added: an initial Business Combination.
+Added: In addition, because there are a large number
+Added: of SPACs seeking to enter into an initial Business Combination with available targets, the competition for available targets with attractive
+Added: fundamentals or business models may increase, which could cause target companies to demand improved financial terms.
+Added: Attractive deals
+Added: could also become scarcer for other reasons, such as economic or industry sector downturns, geopolitical tensions or increases in the
+Added: cost of additional capital needed to close business combinations or operate targets post-business combination.
+Added: This could increase the
+Added: cost of, delay or otherwise complicate or frustrate our ability to find a suitable target for and/or complete our initial Business Combination
+Added: and may result in our inability to consummate an initial Business Combination on terms favorable to our investors altogether.
+Added: The SEC has recently issued proposed rules
+Added: relating to certain activities of SPACs.
+Added: Certain of the procedures that we, a potential business combination target, or others may determine
+Added: to undertake in connection with such proposals may increase our costs and the time needed to complete our initial Business Combination
+Added: and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete an initial Business Combination.
+Added: The need for compliance with the SPAC
+Added: Rule Proposals may cause us to liquidate the funds in the trust account or liquidate the Company at an earlier time than we might otherwise
+Added: On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued the SPAC Rule
+Added: Proposals relating, among other items, to disclosures in business combination transactions between SPACS such as us and private operating
+Added: the condensed financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies;
+Added: the use of projections
+Added: by SPACs in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions;
the potential liability of certain participants
in proposed business combination transactions;
−Removed: and the extent to which special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) could
−Removed: become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs
−Removed: a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition,
−Removed: business purpose and activities.
−Removed: These rules, if adopted, whether in the form proposed or in a revised form, may increase the costs of
−Removed: and the time needed to negotiate and complete an initial business combination, and may constrain the circumstances under which we could
−Removed: complete an initial business combination.
+Added: and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment
+Added: Company Act, including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy
+Added: certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities.
+Added: The SPAC Rule Proposals have
+Added: not yet been adopted, and may be adopted in the proposed form or in a different form that could impose additional regulatory requirements
+Added: Certain of the procedures that we, a potential business combination target, or others may determine to undertake in connection
+Added: with the SPAC Rule Proposals, or pursuant to the SEC’s views expressed in the SPAC Rule Proposals, may increase the costs and time
+Added: of negotiating and completing an initial Business Combination, and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete an initial
+Added: Business Combination.
+Added: The need for compliance with the SPAC Rule Proposals may cause us to liquidate the funds in the trust account or
+Added: liquidate the Company at an earlier time than we might otherwise choose.
+Added: If we are deemed to be an investment company
+Added: for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we would be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities
+Added: would be severely restricted.
+Added: As a result, in such circumstances, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be
+Added: deemed an investment company, we would expect to abandon our efforts to complete an initial Business Combination and instead to liquidate
+Added: As described further above, the SPAC Rule Proposals
+Added: relate, among other matters, to the circumstances in which SPACs such as the Company could potentially be subject to the Investment
+Added: Company Act and the regulations thereunder.
+Added: The SPAC Rule Proposals would provide a safe harbor for such companies from the definition
+Added: of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, provided that a SPAC satisfies certain criteria,
+Added: including a limited time period to announce and complete a de-SPAC transaction.
+Added: Specifically, to comply with the safe harbor, the SPAC
+Added: Rule Proposals would require a company to file a report on Form 8-K announcing that it has entered into an agreement with a target company
+Added: for a business combination no later than 18 months after the effective date of its IPO Registration Statement.
+Added: The company would
+Added: then be required to complete its initial Business Combination no later than 24 months after the effective date of the IPO Registration
+Added: Because the SPAC Rule Proposals have not yet
+Added: been adopted, there is currently uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to a SPAC, including
+Added: a company like ours, that has not entered into a definitive agreement within 18 months after the effective date of the IPO Registration
+Added: We have not entered into a definitive business combination agreement within 18 months after the effective date of our IPO
+Added: Registration Statement and do not expect to complete our initial Business Combination within 24 months of such date.
+Added: As a result, it
+Added: is possible that a claim could be made that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company.
+Added: If we are deemed to be an investment company
+Added: under the Investment Company Act, our activities would be severely restricted.
+Added: In addition, we would be subject to burdensome compliance
+Added: requirements.
+Added: We do not believe that our principal activities will subject us to regulation as an investment company under the Investment
+Added: However, if we are deemed to be an investment company and subject to compliance with and regulation under the Investment
+Added: Company Act, we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which we have not allotted funds.
+Added: As a result, unless
+Added: we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we would expect to abandon our efforts to
+Added: complete an initial Business Combination and instead to liquidate the Company.
+Added: To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed
+Added: to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we may, at any time, instruct the trustee to liquidate the securities
+Added: held in the trust account and instead to hold the funds in the trust account in cash until the earlier of the consummation of our initial
+Added: Business Combination or our liquidation.
+Added: As a result, following the liquidation of securities in the trust account, we would likely receive
+Added: minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the trust account, which would reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would
+Added: receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.
+Added: The funds in the trust account have, since our
+Added: initial public offering, been held only in U.S.
+Added: government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money
+Added: market funds investing solely in U.S.
+Added: government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment
+Added: However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective
+Added: test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, we may, at
+Added: any time, and we expect that we will, on or prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement,
+Added: instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the trust account, to liquidate the U.S.
+Added: treasury obligations or money market funds held in the trust account and thereafter to hold all funds in the trust account in cash until
+Added: the earlier of consummation of our initial Business Combination or liquidation of the Company.
+Added: Following such liquidation, we would likely
+Added: receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the trust account.
+Added: However, interest previously earned on the funds held in the
+Added: trust account still may be released to us to pay our taxes, if any, and certain other expenses as permitted.
+Added: As a result, any decision
+Added: to liquidate the securities held in the trust account and thereafter to hold all funds in the trust account in cash would reduce the
+Added: dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.
+Added: In addition, even prior to the 24-month anniversary
+Added: of the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement, we may be deemed to be an investment company.
+Added: The longer that the funds in the
+Added: trust account are held in short-term U.S.
+Added: government treasury obligations or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities,
+Added: even prior to the 24-month anniversary, the greater the risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case
+Added: we may be required to liquidate the Company.
+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 stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company .
+Added: There is substantial doubt about our ability
+Added: to continue as a “going concern.”
+Added: In connection with the Company’s assessment
+Added: of going concern considerations under applicable accounting standards, management has determined that our possible need for additional
+Added: financing to enable us to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination, as well as the deadline by which we may be required
+Added: to liquidate our trust account, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through approximately
+Added: one year from the date the financial statements included elsewhere in this Report were issued.
+Added: Were we considered to be a “foreign person,”
+Added: we might not be able to complete an initial Business Combination with a U.S.
+Added: target company if such initial Business Combination is subject
+Added: foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S.
+Added: government entity such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United
+Added: States (“CFIUS”), or ultimately prohibited.
+Added: Certain federally licensed businesses
+Added: in the United States, such as broadcasters and airlines, may be subject to rules or regulations that limit foreign ownership.
+Added: CFIUS is an interagency committee authorized to review certain transactions involving foreign investment in the United States by foreign
+Added: persons in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States.
+Added: Were we considered to be
+Added: a “foreign person” under such rules and regulations, any proposed Business Combination between us and a U.S.
+Added: business engaged
+Added: in a regulated industry or which may affect national security could be subject to such foreign ownership restrictions and/or CFIUS review.
+Added: The scope of CFIUS was expanded by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“FIRRMA”) to include certain
+Added: non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S.
+Added: businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying U.S.
+Added: FIRRMA, and subsequent implementing regulations that are now in force, also subject certain categories of investments to mandatory filings.
+Added: If our potential initial Business Combination with a U.S.
+Added: business falls within the scope of foreign ownership restrictions, we may be
+Added: unable to consummate an initial Business Combination with such business.
+Added: In addition, if our potential Business Combination falls within
+Added: CFIUS’s jurisdiction, we may be required to make a mandatory filing or determine to submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed
+Added: with the initial Business Combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the initial Business
+Added: Our Sponsor is a U.S.
+Added: entity, and the managing member of our Sponsor is a U.S.
+Added: Our Sponsor is not controlled by,
+Added: and does not have substantial ties with, a non-U.S.
+Added: However, if CFIUS has jurisdiction over our initial Business Combination CFIUS
+Added: may decide to block or delay our initial Business Combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to
+Added: such initial Business Combination or order us to divest all or a portion of a U.S.
+Added: business of the combined company if we had proceeded
+Added: without first obtaining CFIUS clearance.
+Added: If we were considered to be a “foreign person,” foreign ownership limitations, and
+Added: the potential impact of CFIUS, may limit the attractiveness of a transaction with us or prevent us from pursuing certain initial Business
+Added: Combination opportunities that we believe would otherwise be beneficial to us and our shareholders.
+Added: As a result, in such circumstances,
+Added: the pool of potential targets with which we could complete an initial Business Combination could be limited and we may be adversely affected
+Added: in terms of competing with other special purpose acquisition companies which do not have similar foreign ownership issues.
+Added: Moreover, the process of government
+Added: review, whether by CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy.
+Added: Because we have only a limited time to complete our initial Business Combination,
+Added: our failure to obtain any required approvals within the requisite time period may require us to liquidate.
+Added: If we liquidate, our public
+Added: stockholders may only receive $10.00 per share, and our warrants will expire worthless.
+Added: This will also cause you to lose any potential
+Added: investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation
+Added: in the combined company.
