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
−Removed: Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on May 16, 2022.
−Removed: Any of these factors could result in
−Removed: a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
−Removed: Additional risks could arise that may also
−Removed: affect our business or ability to consummate an initial Business Combination.
−Removed: We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose
−Removed: additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
−Removed: Changes to laws or regulations or in how
−Removed: such laws or regulations are interpreted or applied, or a failure to comply with any laws, regulations, interpretations or applications,
−Removed: may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination.
−Removed: We are subject to the laws and regulations, and
−Removed: interpretations and applications of such laws and regulations, of national, regional, state and local governments and potentially non-U.S.
−Removed: jurisdictions.
−Removed: In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC and potentially other legal and regulatory requirements, and
−Removed: our consummation of an initial Business Combination may be contingent upon our ability to comply with certain laws, regulations, interpretations
−Removed: and applications and any post-business combination company may be subject to additional laws, regulations, interpretations and applications.
−Removed: Compliance with, and monitoring of, the foregoing may be difficult, time consuming and costly.
−Removed: Those laws and regulations and their interpretation
−Removed: and application may also change from time to time, and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, including
−Removed: our ability to negotiate and complete an initial Business Combination.
−Removed: A failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted
−Removed: and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete an initial Business
−Removed: On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules
−Removed: (the “SPAC Rule Proposals”) relating, among other items, to disclosures in SEC filings in connection with business combination
−Removed: transactions involving special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) and private operating companies;
−Removed: the financial statement
−Removed: requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies;
−Removed: the use of projections in SEC filings in connection with proposed
−Removed: business combination transactions;
−Removed: the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions;
−Removed: the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, including a proposed rule that would provide
−Removed: SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset
−Removed: composition, business purpose and activities.
−Removed: Certain of the procedures that we, a potential business combination target, or others may
−Removed: determine to undertake in connection with the SPAC Rule Proposals, as proposed or as adopted, or pursuant to the SEC’s views expressed
−Removed: in the SPAC Rule Proposals, may increase the costs and time of negotiating and completing an initial Business Combination, and may constrain
−Removed: the circumstances under which we could complete an initial Business Combination.
−Removed: Recent increases in inflation and interest
−Removed: rates in the United States and elsewhere could make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial Business Combination.
−Removed: Recent increases in inflation and interest rates
−Removed: in the United States and elsewhere may lead to increased price volatility for publicly traded securities, including ours, and may lead
−Removed: to other national, regional and international economic disruptions, any of which could make it more difficult for us to consummate an
−Removed: initial Business Combination.
−Removed: Military conflict in Ukraine or elsewhere
−Removed: may lead to increased and price volatility for publicly traded securities, which could make it more difficult for us to consummate an
−Removed: initial Business Combination.
−Removed: Military conflict in Ukraine or elsewhere may
−Removed: lead to increased and price volatility for publicly traded securities, including ours, and to other national, regional and international
−Removed: economic disruptions and economic uncertainty, any of which could make it more difficult for us to identify a business combination target
−Removed: and consummate an initial Business Combination on acceptable commercial terms or at all.
−Removed: Resources could be wasted in researching
−Removed: acquisitions that are not completed, which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with
−Removed: another business.
−Removed: If we have not completed our initial Business Combination within the required time period, our public stockholders
−Removed: may receive only approximately $10.00 per share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account
−Removed: and our warrants will expire worthless.
−Removed: We anticipate that the investigation of each
−Removed: specific target business and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments
−Removed: will require substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for accountants, attorneys, consultants and others.
−Removed: decide not to complete a specific initial Business Combination, the costs incurred up to that point for the proposed transaction likely
−Removed: would not be recoverable.
−Removed: Furthermore, if we reach an agreement relating to a specific target business, we may fail to complete our initial
−Removed: Business Combination for any number of reasons, including those beyond our control.
−Removed: Any such event will result in a loss to us of the
−Removed: related costs incurred, which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business.
−Removed: If we have not completed our initial Business Combination within the required time period, our public stockholders may receive only approximately
−Removed: $10.00 per share, or less in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account and our warrants will expire worthless.
−Removed: There may be significant competition for
−Removed: us to find an attractive target for an initial Business Combination.
−Removed: This could increase the costs associated with completing our initial
−Removed: Business Combination and may result in our inability to find a suitable target for our initial Business Combination.
−Removed: In recent years, the number of SPACs that have
−Removed: been formed has increased substantially.
−Removed: Many companies have entered into business combinations with SPACs, and there are still many
−Removed: SPACs seeking targets for their initial Business Combination, as well as additional SPACs currently in registration.
−Removed: As a result, at
−Removed: times, fewer attractive targets may be available, and it may require more time, effort and resources to identify a suitable target for
−Removed: an initial Business Combination.
−Removed: In addition, because there are a large number
−Removed: of SPACs seeking to enter into an initial Business Combination with available targets, the competition for available targets with attractive
−Removed: fundamentals or business models may increase, which could cause target companies to demand improved financial terms.
−Removed: Attractive deals
−Removed: could also become scarcer for other reasons, such as economic or industry sector downturns, geopolitical tensions or increases in the
−Removed: cost of additional capital needed to close business combinations or operate targets post-business combination.
−Removed: This could increase the
−Removed: cost of, delay or otherwise complicate or frustrate our ability to find a suitable target for and/or complete our initial Business Combination
−Removed: and may result in our inability to consummate an initial Business Combination on terms favorable to our investors altogether.
−Removed: The SEC has recently issued proposed rules
−Removed: relating to certain activities of SPACs.
−Removed: Certain of the procedures that we, a potential business combination target, or others may determine
−Removed: to undertake in connection with such proposals may increase our costs and the time needed to complete our initial Business Combination
−Removed: and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete an initial Business Combination.
−Removed: The need for compliance with the SPAC
−Removed: 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
−Removed: On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued the SPAC Rule
−Removed: Proposals relating, among other items, to disclosures in business combination transactions between SPACS such as us and private operating
−Removed: the condensed financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies;
−Removed: the use of projections
−Removed: by SPACs in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions;
−Removed: the potential liability of certain participants
−Removed: in proposed business combination transactions;
−Removed: and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment
−Removed: Company Act, including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy
−Removed: certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities.
−Removed: The SPAC Rule Proposals have
−Removed: not yet been adopted, and may be adopted in the proposed form or in a different form that could impose additional regulatory requirements
−Removed: Certain of the procedures that we, a potential business combination target, or others may determine to undertake in connection
−Removed: with the SPAC Rule Proposals, or pursuant to the SEC’s views expressed in the SPAC Rule Proposals, may increase the costs and time
−Removed: of negotiating and completing an initial Business Combination, and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete an initial
−Removed: Business Combination.
−Removed: The need for compliance with the SPAC Rule Proposals may cause us to liquidate the funds in the trust account or
−Removed: liquidate the Company at an earlier time than we might otherwise choose.
−Removed: If we are deemed to be an investment company
−Removed: for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we would be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities
−Removed: would be severely restricted.
−Removed: As a result, in such circumstances, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be
−Removed: deemed an investment company, we would expect to abandon our efforts to complete an initial Business Combination and instead to liquidate
−Removed: As described further above, the SPAC Rule Proposals
−Removed: relate, among other matters, to the circumstances in which SPACs such as the Company could potentially be subject to the Investment
−Removed: Company Act and the regulations thereunder.
−Removed: The SPAC Rule Proposals would provide a safe harbor for such companies from the definition
−Removed: of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, provided that a SPAC satisfies certain criteria,
−Removed: including a limited time period to announce and complete a de-SPAC transaction.
−Removed: Specifically, to comply with the safe harbor, the SPAC
−Removed: 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
−Removed: for a business combination no later than 18 months after the effective date of its IPO Registration Statement.
−Removed: The company would
−Removed: then be required to complete its initial Business Combination no later than 24 months after the effective date of the IPO Registration
−Removed: Because the SPAC Rule Proposals have not yet
−Removed: been adopted, there is currently uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to a SPAC, including
−Removed: a company like ours, that has not entered into a definitive agreement within 18 months after the effective date of the IPO Registration
−Removed: We have not entered into a definitive business combination agreement within 18 months after the effective date of our IPO
−Removed: Registration Statement and do not expect to complete our initial Business Combination within 24 months of such date.
−Removed: As a result, it
−Removed: is possible that a claim could be made that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company.
−Removed: If we are deemed to be an investment company
−Removed: under the Investment Company Act, our activities would be severely restricted.
−Removed: In addition, we would be subject to burdensome compliance
−Removed: requirements.
−Removed: We do not believe that our principal activities will subject us to regulation as an investment company under the Investment
−Removed: However, if we are deemed to be an investment company and subject to compliance with and regulation under the Investment
−Removed: Company Act, we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which we have not allotted funds.
−Removed: As a result, unless
−Removed: 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
−Removed: complete an initial Business Combination and instead to liquidate the Company.
+Added: Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, as filed with the SEC on May 16, 2022 and August 12, 2022,
+Added: respectively.
+Added: Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial
+Added: Additional risks could arise that may also affect our business or ability to consummate an initial Business Combination.
+Added: may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
+Added: A new 1% U.S.
+Added: federal excise tax could
+Added: be imposed on us in connection with redemptions by us of our shares in connection with a Business Combination or other stockholder vote
+Added: pursuant to which stockholders would have a right to submit their shares for redemption (a “Redemption Event”).
+Added: On August 16, 2022, the IR
+Added: Act was signed into federal law.
+Added: The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S.
+Added: federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases
+Added: (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic (i.e., U.S.) corporations and certain domestic subsidiaries of publicly
+Added: traded foreign corporations.
+Added: The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its stockholders from which shares
+Added: are repurchased.
+Added: The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase.
+Added: However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain
+Added: new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year.
+Added: In addition, certain exceptions
+Added: apply to the excise tax.
+Added: Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury Department”) has been given authority to provide
+Added: regulations and other guidance to carry out, and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.
+Added: The IR Act applies only to repurchases
+Added: that occur after December 31, 2022.
+Added: Any redemption or other repurchase
+Added: that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Redemption Event may be subject to the excise tax.
+Added: Whether and to what extent
+Added: we would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Redemption Event would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair
+Added: market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Redemption Event, (ii) the structure of the Business Combination,
+Added: (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with the Business Combination (or otherwise
+Added: issued not in connection with the Redemption Event but issued within the same taxable year of the Business Combination) and (iv) the
+Added: content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury Department.
+Added: In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by us, and
+Added: not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined.
+Added: The foregoing could cause
+Added: a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in our ability to complete a Business Combination.
To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed
to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we may, at any time, instruct the trustee to liquidate the securities
−Removed: 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
−Removed: Business Combination or our liquidation.
−Removed: As a result, following the liquidation of securities in the trust account, we would likely receive
−Removed: minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the trust account, which would reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would
−Removed: receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.
−Removed: The funds in the trust account have, since our
−Removed: initial public offering, been held only in U.S.
−Removed: government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money
−Removed: market funds investing solely in U.S.
−Removed: government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment
−Removed: However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective
−Removed: 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
−Removed: 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,
−Removed: instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the trust account, to liquidate the U.S.
−Removed: treasury obligations or money market funds held in the trust account and thereafter to hold all funds in the trust account in cash until
−Removed: the earlier of consummation of our initial Business Combination or liquidation of the Company.
−Removed: Following such liquidation, we would likely
−Removed: receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the trust account.
−Removed: However, interest previously earned on the funds held in the
−Removed: trust account still may be released to us to pay our taxes, if any, and certain other expenses as permitted.
−Removed: As a result, any decision
−Removed: to liquidate the securities held in the trust account and thereafter to hold all funds in the trust account in cash would reduce the
−Removed: dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.
−Removed: In addition, even prior to the 24-month anniversary
−Removed: of the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement, we may be deemed to be an investment company.
−Removed: The longer that the funds in the
−Removed: trust account are held in short-term U.S.
−Removed: government treasury obligations or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities,
−Removed: even prior to the 24-month anniversary, the greater the risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case
−Removed: we may be required to liquidate the Company.
−Removed: Accordingly, we may determine, in our discretion, to liquidate the securities held in the
−Removed: 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
−Removed: further reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company .
−Removed: There is substantial doubt about our ability
−Removed: to continue as a “going concern.”
−Removed: In connection with the Company’s assessment
−Removed: of going concern considerations under applicable accounting standards, management has determined that our possible need for additional
−Removed: financing to enable us to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination, as well as the deadline by which we may be required
−Removed: to liquidate our trust account, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through approximately
−Removed: one year from the date the financial statements included elsewhere in this Report were issued.
−Removed: Were we considered to be a “foreign person,”
−Removed: we might not be able to complete an initial Business Combination with a U.S.
−Removed: target company if such initial Business Combination is subject
−Removed: foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S.
−Removed: government entity such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United
−Removed: States (“CFIUS”), or ultimately prohibited.
−Removed: Certain federally licensed businesses
−Removed: in the United States, such as broadcasters and airlines, may be subject to rules or regulations that limit foreign ownership.
−Removed: CFIUS is an interagency committee authorized to review certain transactions involving foreign investment in the United States by foreign
−Removed: persons in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States.
−Removed: Were we considered to be
−Removed: a “foreign person” under such rules and regulations, any proposed Business Combination between us and a U.S.
−Removed: business engaged
−Removed: in a regulated industry or which may affect national security could be subject to such foreign ownership restrictions and/or CFIUS review.
−Removed: The scope of CFIUS was expanded by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“FIRRMA”) to include certain
−Removed: non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S.
−Removed: businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying U.S.
−Removed: FIRRMA, and subsequent implementing regulations that are now in force, also subject certain categories of investments to mandatory filings.
−Removed: If our potential initial Business Combination with a U.S.
−Removed: business falls within the scope of foreign ownership restrictions, we may be
−Removed: unable to consummate an initial Business Combination with such business.
−Removed: In addition, if our potential Business Combination falls within
−Removed: CFIUS’s jurisdiction, we may be required to make a mandatory filing or determine to submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed
−Removed: with the initial Business Combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the initial Business
−Removed: Our Sponsor is a U.S.
−Removed: entity, and the managing member of our Sponsor is a U.S.
−Removed: Our Sponsor is not controlled by,
−Removed: and does not have substantial ties with, a non-U.S.
−Removed: However, if CFIUS has jurisdiction over our initial Business Combination CFIUS
−Removed: may decide to block or delay our initial Business Combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to
−Removed: such initial Business Combination or order us to divest all or a portion of a U.S.
−Removed: business of the combined company if we had proceeded
−Removed: without first obtaining CFIUS clearance.
−Removed: If we were considered to be a “foreign person,” foreign ownership limitations, and
−Removed: the potential impact of CFIUS, may limit the attractiveness of a transaction with us or prevent us from pursuing certain initial Business
−Removed: Combination opportunities that we believe would otherwise be beneficial to us and our shareholders.
−Removed: As a result, in such circumstances,
−Removed: the pool of potential targets with which we could complete an initial Business Combination could be limited and we may be adversely affected
−Removed: in terms of competing with other special purpose acquisition companies which do not have similar foreign ownership issues.
−Removed: Moreover, the process of government
−Removed: review, whether by CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy.
