−Removed: Risks Related to Our Possible Business Combination
−Removed: with a PRC Target Company
−Removed: Although there is no restriction
−Removed: or limitation on what industry or geographic region our target operates in, because of our significant ties to China, we may pursue a
−Removed: business combination with a company being based in or having the majority of the company’s operations in China (a “PRC Target
−Removed: If we complete a business combination with a PRC Target Company, we may be subject to risks due to uncertainty of the
−Removed: interpretation and the application of the PRC laws and regulations following the business combination.
−Removed: In particular, PRC laws and regulations
−Removed: restrict foreign ownership in certain industries.
−Removed: If the PRC Target Company is in any of those restricted industries, neither the post-combination
−Removed: entity nor its subsidiaries may own any equity interest in the PRC Target Company or its operating subsidiaries but rather may establish
−Removed: a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) in PRC to enter into the a series of contractual arrangements (the “VIE
−Removed: Agreements”) with the PRC Target Company (to that extent, the PRC Target Company is known as a variable interest entity, or a VIE)
−Removed: and the VIE’s shareholders.
−Removed: VIE Agreements normally include:
−Removed: (i) certain power of attorney agreements, a share pledge agreement and certain loan agreements;
−Removed: (ii) an exclusive business
−Removed: cooperation agreement which allows the post-combination entity to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIE;
−Removed: (iii) certain exclusive option agreements and certain spouse consent letters which provide the WFOE with an exclusive option to
−Removed: purchase all or part of the equity interests in and/or assets of the VIE when and to the extent permitted by PRC laws (such arrangements
−Removed: are referred as a “VIE structure”).
−Removed: The post-combination entity, through a VIE structure, can consolidate the financial results
−Removed: of the VIE in its consolidated financial statements as a primary beneficiary in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
−Removed: in the United States of America, or GAAP, or international financial reporting standards as issued by the International Accounting
−Removed: Standards Board, or IFRS, for accounting purpose.
−Removed: The post-combination entity or its shareholders do not directly or indirectly hold
−Removed: equity interests in the VIE, and therefore, a VIE structure is subject to risks due to the uncertainty of the interpretation and the
−Removed: application of the PRC laws and regulations, including but not limited to limitations on foreign ownership of business in a restricted
−Removed: industry, regulatory review of overseas listings of PRC companies through a special purpose vehicle, and the validity and enforcement
−Removed: of the VIE Agreements.
−Removed: The VIE structure is also subject to the risks of uncertainty about any future actions of the PRC government in
−Removed: this regard that could disallow the VIE structure, which would likely result in a material change in the post-combination entity’s
−Removed: operations and may cause the value of our Ordinary Shares to depreciate significantly or become worthless.
−Removed: VIE structure may not be
−Removed: as effective as equity ownership and the company may incur substantial costs to enforce the terms of the arrangements.
−Removed: Since the post-combination
−Removed: entity and its stockholders do not directly own equity interest in VIE and the shareholders of VIE still own the shares of VIE after
−Removed: the business combination, the VIE structure has its inherent risks that may affect your investment, including less effectiveness and
−Removed: certainties than equity ownership and potential substantial costs to enforce the terms of the VIE Agreements.
−Removed: The VIE shareholders may
−Removed: not act in the best interests of the WFOE or the post-combination entity, or may not perform their obligations under the VIE Agreements.
−Removed: If the VIE or the VIE shareholders breach their contractual obligations under the VIE Agreements, the post-business combination company
−Removed: may have difficulty in enforcing any rights it may have under the VIE Agreements with the VIE and/or its founders and owners because
−Removed: all of the VIE Agreements are governed by PRC laws and provide for the resolution of disputes through arbitration in the PRC, where the
−Removed: legal environment in the PRC is not as developed as in the United States.
−Removed: The post-combination entity may have to incur substantial
−Removed: costs and expend significant resources to enforce such VIE Agreements in reliance on legal remedies under PRC law.
−Removed: In connection with
−Removed: litigation, arbitration or other judicial or dispute resolution proceedings, assets under the name of any of record holder of equity
−Removed: interest in the VIE, including such equity interest of such record holder, may be put under court custody.
−Removed: As a consequence, we cannot
−Removed: be certain that the equity interest will be disposed pursuant to the VIE Agreements or that the ownership by the record holder of such
−Removed: equity interest will be unchallenged.
−Removed: In addition, if we acquire a PRC Target Company through VIE Agreements, investors in our Ordinary
−Removed: Shares following a business combination would not hold equity interests in the VIE domiciled in China and would instead hold equity interests
−Removed: in a holding company.
−Removed: You may never hold equity interests in the VIE.
−Removed: All of the VIE Agreements
−Removed: may be governed by and interpreted in accordance with PRC law, and disputes arising from these VIE Agreements may be resolved in court
−Removed: or through arbitration in China in accordance with PRC legal procedures.
−Removed: The legal environment in the PRC is not as developed as in some
−Removed: other jurisdictions, such as the United States.
−Removed: As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the post-combination ability
−Removed: to enforce the VIE Agreements.
−Removed: As at the date of this Annual Report, there are very few precedents and little official guidance as to
−Removed: how VIE Agreements should be interpreted or enforced under PRC law.
−Removed: The VIE Agreements have not been widely tested in a court of law
−Removed: in the PRC and there remain significant uncertainties regarding the ultimate outcome of arbitration should legal action become necessary.
−Removed: Furthermore, VIE Agreements may not be enforceable in China if the PRC government authorities or courts take a view that such VIE Agreements
−Removed: contravene PRC laws and regulations or are otherwise not enforceable for public policy reasons.
−Removed: In addition, there is uncertainty as
−Removed: to whether the courts of the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S.
−Removed: courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil
−Removed: liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state.
−Removed: In the event that the post-combination entity is unable
−Removed: to enforce the VIE Agreements, the post-combination entity may not be able to consolidate the financial results of the VIE through the
−Removed: VIE Agreements, which will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.
−Removed: Although the PRC authorities
−Removed: do not require permission to entering into the VIE Agreements, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of
−Removed: China and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the “Opinions on Severely Cracking Down on Illegal Securities
−Removed: Activities According to Law,” or the Opinions, which was made available to the public on July 6, 2021, pursuant to which the PRC
−Removed: government will strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities, and the need to strengthen the supervision over overseas
−Removed: listings of Chinese companies.
−Removed: The Opinions and any related implementing rules to be enacted may subject the VIE structure to compliance
−Removed: requirements in the future.
−Removed: Given the current regulatory environment in the PRC, uncertainty of different interpretations and enforcement
−Removed: of the rules and regulations in the PRC may be adverse to our business combination with a PRC Target Company or the post-business combination
−Removed: company, which requirements may take place quickly with little advance notice.
−Removed: On February 17, 2023, the
−Removed: Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) issued the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, which
−Removed: came into effect since March 31, 2023.
−Removed: According to the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, among other things, a domestic
−Removed: company in the PRC that seeks to offer and list securities in overseas markets shall fulfill the filing procedure with the CSRC as per
−Removed: requirement of the Trial Administrative Measures.
−Removed: An issuer is a domestic company in the PRC if the following criteria are met at the
−Removed: (a) 50% or more of the issuer’s operating revenue, total profit, total assets or net assets as documented in its audited
−Removed: consolidated financial statements for the most recent accounting year comes from PRC domestic companies, and (b) the main parts of the
−Removed: issuer’s business activities are conducted in mainland China, or its main places of business are located in mainland China, or
−Removed: the senior managers in charge of its business operation and management are mostly Chinese citizens or domiciled in mainland China.
−Removed: a domestic company seeks to directly offer and list securities in overseas markets, the issuer shall file with the CSRC.
−Removed: Where a domestic
−Removed: company seeks to indirectly offer and list securities in overseas markets, the issuer shall designate a major domestic operating entity,
−Removed: which shall, as the domestic responsible entity, file with the CSRC.
−Removed: If, we acquire a PRC Target Company, we may be required to comply
−Removed: with the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings and complete the filing with the CSRC, to continue listing on U.S.
−Removed: or issue securities to foreign investors post business combination with a PRC Target Company.
−Removed: Since the New Administrative Rules Regarding
−Removed: Overseas Listings are newly promulgated, and the interpretation and implementation thereof involves uncertainties, we cannot assure that
−Removed: we will be able to complete the relevant filings in a timely manner or fulfil all the regulatory requirements thereunder.
−Removed: On February 24, 2023, the
−Removed: CSRC promulgated the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions, which also became effective on March 31, 2023.
−Removed: The Confidentiality
−Removed: and Archives Administration Provisions set out rules, requirements and procedures relating to provision of documents, materials and accounting
−Removed: archives for securities companies, securities service providers, overseas regulators and other entities and individuals in connection
−Removed: with overseas offering and listing, including without limitation to, domestic companies that carry out overseas offering and listing
−Removed: (either in direct or indirect means) with regards to protection of any state secret and working secret of government agencies, requirement
−Removed: to obtain approval to publicly disclose or provide any documents and materials that contain state secrets or working secrets of government
−Removed: Further, according to the Measures for Cybersecurity Review, which was promulgated on December 28, 2021 and became effective
−Removed: on February 15, 2022, online platform operators holding more than one million users/users’ individual information shall be subject
−Removed: to cybersecurity review before listing abroad.
−Removed: If we acquire a PRC Target Company, we will be required to comply with Confidentiality
−Removed: and Archives Administration Provisions, potential cybersecurity review, and other regulations may be promulgated by the CAC or other
−Removed: PRC authorities.
−Removed: There is uncertainty how the new provisions will be interpreted and implemented in the future, and we may be required
−Removed: to perform additional procedures in connection with the provision of accounting archives.
−Removed: The governing PRC laws and
−Removed: regulations are sometimes vague and uncertain and can change quickly with little advance notice, which may result in a material change
−Removed: in the post-combination entity’s operations, cause the value of our shares following the business combination to significantly
−Removed: decline or be worthless, or substantially limit or completely hinder the post-combination entity’s ability to offer or continue
−Removed: to offer securities to investors.
−Removed: For instance, the PRC government recently initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to
−Removed: regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market,
−Removed: enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using a VIE structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of
−Removed: cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.
−Removed: However, since these statements and regulatory actions
−Removed: are new, it is uncertain how soon Chinese legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new
−Removed: laws, regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any, and the potential impact such
−Removed: modified or new laws and regulations will have on our capability to acquire or merge with a PRC Target Company, as well as the post-combination
−Removed: entity’s ability to conduct its business, accept foreign investments, or list on a U.S.
−Removed: stock exchange.
−Removed: The Chinese government may
−Removed: intervene or influence the operations of the PRC operating entities at any time and may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas
−Removed: and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, which could result in a material change in the operations of the PRC operating entities
−Removed: and/or the value of our securities.
−Removed: In addition, any actions by the Chinese government to exert more oversight and control over offerings
−Removed: that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability
−Removed: to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
−Removed: Changes in China’s economic, political or social conditions, as well as possible interventions and influences of any government
−Removed: policies and actions;
−Removed: as well as uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could have a material adverse effect on our operation
−Removed: and the value of our securities.
−Removed: For instance, (i) as the date hereof, we and our directors and officers are not required to obtain any
−Removed: permission from the CSRC, CAC, or any other China authorities, nor received any objection, restriction, or were denied approval from
−Removed: Chinese authorities to list our securities in U.S.
−Removed: exchanges, however, we cannot guarantee that PRC authorities may initiate any change
−Removed: in its law, rules or regulations, or governmental policies that would require permission or scrutiny from relevant PRC authorities before
−Removed: or any law, regulation, rules and policies will become effective and enforceable after our listing that could substantially
−Removed: affect our operation and the value of our securities may depreciate quickly even become worthless.
−Removed: Such future administrative measure
−Removed: or actions may have material adverse effects on the offering of our securities to investors, our proposed listing in the U.S., our business
−Removed: operation, our capability to acquire or merge with a PRC Target Company.
−Removed: For example, in the event that it is required that we should
−Removed: obtain permission from the Chinese government to offer our securities to investors or list on U.S.
−Removed: exchanges, it is unpredictable whether
−Removed: such permission can be obtained by us, as the case may be, or, if permission is obtained, whether it could be later denied or rescinded.
−Removed: If we, including our directors and officers, do not receive or maintain such permissions or approvals, or inadvertently conclude that
−Removed: such permissions or approvals are not required, it could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to
−Removed: offer our securities to investors, list in the U.S.
−Removed: and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.
−Removed: As of the date of this Annual Report, we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, or sanctions from PRC government authorities
−Removed: in connection with any permissions may be required from the PRC authorities;
−Removed: and (ii) currently and prior to the consummation of our
−Removed: initial business combination, our operation involves searching and identifying suitable targets, conducting due diligence on targets,
−Removed: negotiating and consummating our initial business combination.
−Removed: Though we are not restricted or prohibited from such business activities
−Removed: in China, we are subject to risks and uncertainties about future actions of the PRC government or law enforcement to refrain our activities
−Removed: or operation in China, which would likely result in a material change in our operations, significantly limit or hinder our ability to
−Removed: offer or continue to offer our securities, and cause the value of our securities may depreciate significantly or become worthless.
−Removed: As a blank check company
−Removed: incorporated for the purpose of effecting a business combination, we have significant ties to China.
−Removed: Fen “Eric” Zhang,
−Removed: our Chief Executive Officer, who is also the sole director of the Sponsor, is a Canadian citizen but currently resides in China for business
−Removed: purposes, and our Chief Financial Officer, Ms.
−Removed: Jie “Janet” Hu, is a Chinese citizen located in China.
−Removed: Because of our significant
−Removed: ties to China, we may be a less attractive partner to a non-China-based target company and such perception may potentially limit or negatively
−Removed: impact our search for an initial business combination;
−Removed: or may therefore make it more likely for us to consummate a business combination
−Removed: with a PRC Target Company.
−Removed: Further, it is uncertain
−Removed: whether any officers and directors of the post-combination entity will be located inside the United States.
−Removed: As a result, it may be difficult,
−Removed: or in some cases impossible, for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights, to effect service of process upon those
−Removed: officers and directors (prior to or after the business combination) located outside the United States, or to enforce judgments of U.S.
−Removed: courts seeking to impose civil liabilities and criminal penalties on them under U.S.
−Removed: securities laws.
−Removed: In particular, the PRC does not
−Removed: have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts with the United States and many other countries
−Removed: and regions, and you may have to incur substantial costs and contribute significant time to enforce civil liabilities and criminal penalties
−Removed: in reliance on legal remedies under PRC laws.
−Removed: Therefore, recognition and enforcement in the PRC of judgements of U.S.
−Removed: courts in relation
−Removed: to any matter not subject to a binding arbitration provision may be difficult or impossible.
−Removed: PRC Limitations on Overseas Listing and Share
−Removed: Issuances If We Acquire a PRC Target Company (Post-Business Combination)
−Removed: The New Administrative Rules Regarding
−Removed: Overseas Listing
−Removed: On February 17, 2023, the
−Removed: CSRC issued the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, which came into effect since March 31, 2023.
−Removed: According to the New
−Removed: Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, among other things, a domestic company in the PRC that seeks to offer and list securities
−Removed: in overseas markets shall fulfill the filing procedure with the CSRC as per requirement of the Trial Administrative Measures.
−Removed: is a domestic company in the PRC if the following criteria are met at the same time:
−Removed: (a) 50% or more of the issuer’s operating
−Removed: revenue, total profit, total assets or net assets as documented in its audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent
−Removed: accounting year comes from PRC domestic companies, and (b) the main parts of the issuer’s business activities are conducted in
−Removed: mainland China, or its main places of business are located in mainland China, or the senior managers in charge of its business operation
−Removed: and management are mostly Chinese citizens or domiciled in mainland China.
−Removed: Where a domestic company seeks to directly offer and list
−Removed: securities in overseas markets, the issuer shall file with the CSRC.
−Removed: Where a domestic company seeks to indirectly offer and list securities
−Removed: in overseas markets, the issuer shall designate a major domestic operating entity, which shall, as the domestic responsible entity, file
−Removed: with the CSRC.
−Removed: Initial public offerings or listings in overseas markets shall be filed with the CSRC within 3 working days after the
−Removed: relevant application is submitted overseas.
−Removed: If an issuer offers securities in the same overseas market where it has previously offered
−Removed: and listed securities subsequently, filings shall be made with the CSRC within 3 working days after the offering is completed.
−Removed: Upon occurrence
−Removed: of any material event, such as change of control, investigations or sanctions imposed by overseas securities regulatory agencies or other
−Removed: relevant competent authorities, change of listing status or transfer of listing segment, or voluntary or mandatory delisting, after an
−Removed: issuer has offered and listed securities in an overseas market, the issuer shall submit a report thereof to CSRC within 3 working days
−Removed: after the occurrence and public disclosure of such event.
−Removed: Further, an overseas securities company that serves as a sponsor or lead underwriter
−Removed: for overseas securities offering and listing by domestic companies shall file with the CSRC within 10 working days after signing its
−Removed: first engagement agreement for such business, and submit to the CSRC, no later than January 31 each year, an annual report on its business
−Removed: activities in the previous year associated with overseas securities offering and listing by domestic companies.
−Removed: If an overseas securities
−Removed: company has entered into engagement agreements before the effectuation of the Trial Administrative Measures and is serving in practice
−Removed: as a sponsor or lead underwriter for overseas securities offering and listing by domestic companies, it shall file with the CSRC within
−Removed: 30 working days after the Trial Administrative Measures take effect.
−Removed: However, pursuant to the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas
−Removed: Listings and the Notice on the Arrangement for Filing-based Administration of Overseas Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies issued
−Removed: by the CSRC on February 17, 2023, if the indirect overseas securities offering and listing by a domestic company had been approved by
−Removed: the overseas regulator or stock exchange, such as the registration statement had been declared effective in the case of the U.S.
−Removed: prior to the effectuation of the Trial Administrative Measures, and the indirect overseas securities offering and listing will be completed
−Removed: before September 30, 2023 without the need to go through the regulatory procedure of the overseas regulator or stock exchange for offering
−Removed: and listing once again, then such company is not required to file with the CSRC in accordance with the Trial Administrative Measures
−Removed: immediately but shall be required to do so if it involves in re-financing and other filing matters in the future.
−Removed: As a blank check company
−Removed: incorporated in Cayman Islands rather than in China and currently our company does not own or control any equity interest in any PRC
−Removed: company or operate any business in China, we did not generate any revenue or profit nor have any asset in China or from any operation
−Removed: in China as of the date of this Annual Report.
−Removed: As a result, we believe that we do not meet the criteria (a) of a domestic company in
−Removed: the PRC as set forth in New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings and accordingly are not required to file with the CSRC for
−Removed: the offering.
−Removed: If, however, we acquire a PRC Target Company, we may be required to comply with the New Administrative Rules Regarding
−Removed: Overseas Listings and complete the filing with the CSRC, to continue listing on U.S.
−Removed: exchanges or issue securities to foreign investors
−Removed: post business combination with a PRC Target Company.
−Removed: Since the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings are newly promulgated,
−Removed: and the interpretation and implementation thereof involves uncertainties, we cannot assure that we will be able to complete the relevant
−Removed: filings in a timely manner or fulfil all the regulatory requirements thereunder.
−Removed: Confidentiality and Archives Administrative
−Removed: Provisions and Measures for Cybersecurity Review
−Removed: On February 24, 2023, the
−Removed: CSRC promulgated the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions, which also became effective on March 31, 2023.
−Removed: The Confidentiality
−Removed: and Archives Administration Provisions set out rules, requirements and procedures relating to provision of documents, materials and accounting
−Removed: archives for securities companies, securities service providers, overseas regulators and other entities and individuals in connection
−Removed: with overseas offering and listing, including without limitation to, domestic companies that carry out overseas offering and listing
−Removed: (either in direct or indirect means) and the securities companies and securities service providers (either incorporated domestically
−Removed: or overseas) that undertake relevant businesses shall not leak any state secret and working secret of government agencies, or harm national
−Removed: security and public interest, and a domestic company shall first obtain approval from competent authorities according to law, and file
−Removed: with the secrecy administrative department at the same level, if it plans to, either directly or through its overseas listed entity,
−Removed: publicly disclose or provide any documents and materials that contain state secrets or working secrets of government agencies.
−Removed: papers produced in the Chinese mainland by securities companies and securities service providers in the process of undertaking businesses
−Removed: related to overseas offering and listing by domestic companies shall be retained in the Chinese mainland.
−Removed: Where such documents need to
−Removed: be transferred or transmitted to outside the Chinese mainland, relevant approval procedures stipulated by regulations shall be followed.
−Removed: Further, according to the Measures for Cybersecurity Review, which was promulgated on December 28, 2021 and became effective on February
−Removed: 15, 2022, online platform operators holding more than one million users/users’ individual information shall be subject to cybersecurity
−Removed: review before listing abroad.
−Removed: As we are a blank check company and are not involved in the collection of personal data of at least 1 million
−Removed: users or implicate cybersecurity, we do not believe that we are a “network platform operator(s)”, or subject to the cybersecurity
−Removed: review of the Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC”), nor subject to Confidentiality and Archives Administration
−Removed: Provisions for the offering.
−Removed: As of the date of this Annual Report, we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanction or any
−Removed: regulatory objection to the IPO from any relevant PRC authorities.
−Removed: If we acquire a PRC Target Company, we will be required to comply
−Removed: with Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions and other regulations may be promulgated by the CAC or other PRC authorities.
−Removed: There is uncertainty how the new provisions will be interpreted and implemented in the future, and we may be required to perform additional
−Removed: procedures in connection with the provision of accounting archives.
−Removed: Additionally, if we acquire
−Removed: a PRC Target Company, we may be subject to any new rules, regulations or requirements promulgated by the PRC Authorities regarding Overseas
−Removed: Listing and Share Issuances for domestic companies in the PRC.
−Removed: Any failure of us to fully comply with new regulatory requirements may
−Removed: significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities in connection with a business combination,
−Removed: or to complete a business combination at all.
−Removed: If approval is required in the future and we were denied permission from Chinese authorities
−Removed: to list on U.S.
−Removed: exchanges, we will not be able to continue listing on a U.S.
−Removed: exchange, which would materially affect the interest of
−Removed: our investors.
−Removed: It is uncertain when and whether we will be required to obtain permission from the PRC government to continue to list
−Removed: exchanges in the future, and even when such permission is obtained, whether it will be denied or rescinded.
−Removed: Our operations may
−Removed: be adversely affected in the future, directly or indirectly, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to the PRC Target Company’s
−Removed: business or industry and oversea listing and share issuance.
−Removed: Transfers of Cash to and from Our Post-Combination
−Removed: Entity If We Acquire a PRC Target Company (Post-Business Combination)
−Removed: We are a blank check company
−Removed: with no operations of our own and no subsidiaries except searching for a suitable target to consummate an initial business combination.
−Removed: As of the date of this Annual Report, we do not have cash management policies and procedures that dictate how funds are transferred.
−Removed: As of the date of this Annual Report, no transfers, dividends, or distributions have been made by us.
−Removed: There is no restriction in
−Removed: the geographic location of targets that we can pursue, although we intend to initially prioritize geographic locations in Asia and North
−Removed: We currently do not have any PRC subsidiaries or China operations, do not have any specific business combination under consideration
−Removed: and have not (nor has anyone on our behalf), directly or indirectly, contacted any prospective target business or had any substantive
−Removed: discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to such a transaction.
−Removed: However, because of our significant ties to China, we may pursue
−Removed: a business combination with a PRC Target Company which might require a VIE structure.
−Removed: As a result, although other means are available
−Removed: for the post-combination entity to obtain financing at the holding company level, the post-combination entity’s ability to pay
−Removed: dividends to its shareholders and to service any debt it may incur may depend upon dividends paid by the PRC Target Company’s subsidiaries.
−Removed: If any of the post-combination entity’s subsidiaries incurs debt on its own in the future, the instruments governing such debt
−Removed: may restrict its ability to pay dividends to the post-combination entity.
−Removed: In addition, the PRC subsidiaries of the post-combination entity
−Removed: and VIE are required to make appropriations to certain statutory reserve funds, which are not distributable as cash dividends except
−Removed: in the event of a solvent liquidation of the companies.
−Removed: In order for the post-combination
