+Added: Your only opportunity to affect the investment decision regarding a potential Business Combination may be limited to the exercise of your right to convert your shares to cash.
+Added: Our initial shareholders control a substantial interest in us and thus may influence certain actions requiring a shareholder vote.
+Added: We may not obtain a fairness opinion with respect to the target business that we seek to acquire and therefore you may be relying solely on the judgment of our board of directors in approving a proposed Business Combination.
+Added: We may issue additional shares or debt securities to complete a Business Combination, which would reduce the equity interest of our shareholders and likely cause a change in control of our ownership.
+Added: We may be unable to obtain additional financing, if required, to complete a Business Combination or to fund the operations and growth of the target business.
+Added: Resources could be wasted in researching acquisitions that are not consummated, which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business.
+Added: Our search for a Business Combination, and any target business with which we ultimately consummate a Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected by the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and other events, and the status of debt and equity markets.
+Added: We may have a limited ability to assess the management of a prospective target business and, as a result, may effect our initial Business Combination with a target business whose management may not have the skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company.
+Added: If we consummate a Business Combination with a target company with assets located in the CIS or other country in South and South-East Asia and MENA regions, our results of operations and prospects could be subject to the economic, political, and legal policies, developments, and conditions in the country in which we operate.
+Added: Further, the laws applicable to such company will likely govern all of our material agreements and we may not be able to enforce our legal rights.
+Added: There may be tax consequences to our Business Combination that may adversely affect us.
+Added: Our officers and directors presently have fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.
