+Added: and our activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to complete our initial business combination.
+Added: we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities may be restricted, including:
+Added: restrictions on the nature of our investments;
+Added: restrictions on the issuance of securities,
+Added: each of which may make it difficult for us to complete our initial business combination.
+Added: In addition, we may have imposed upon us burdensome
+Added: requirements, including:
+Added: registration as an investment company;
+Added: adoption of a specific form of corporate structure;
+Added: reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy and disclosure requirements and other rules and regulations.
+Added: order not to be regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, unless we can qualify for an exclusion, we must
+Added: ensure that we are engaged primarily in a business other than investing, reinvesting or trading of securities and that our activities
+Added: do not include investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading “investment securities” constituting more than 40% of our
+Added: assets (exclusive of U.S.
+Added: government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis.
+Added: Our business is to identify and complete
+Added: a business combination and thereafter to operate the post-transaction business or assets for the long term.
+Added: We do not intend to spend
+Added: a considerable amount of time actively managing the assets in the Trust Account for the primary purpose of achieving investment returns.
+Added: We do not plan to buy businesses or assets with a view to resale or profit from their resale.
+Added: We do not plan to buy unrelated businesses
+Added: or assets or to be a passive investor.
+Added: do not believe that our anticipated principal activities will subject us to the Investment Company Act.
+Added: To this end, the proceeds held
+Added: in the Trust Account may only be held as cash or invested in U.S.
+Added: “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16)
+Added: of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7
+Added: promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S.
+Added: government treasury obligations.
+Added: Pursuant to the trust
+Added: agreement, the trustee is not permitted to invest in other securities or assets.
+Added: By restricting the investment of the proceeds to these
+Added: instruments, and by having a business plan targeted at acquiring and growing businesses for the long term (rather than on buying and
+Added: selling businesses in the manner of a merchant bank or private equity fund), we intend to avoid being deemed an “investment company”
+Added: within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.
+Added: This offering is not intended for persons who are seeking a return on investments in
+Added: government securities or investment securities.
+Added: The Trust Account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur
+Added: (i) the completion of our initial business combination;
+Added: (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection
+Added: with a shareholder vote to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing
+Added: of our obligation to provide for the redemption of our public shares in connection with an initial business combination or to redeem
+Added: 100% of our public shares if we have not consummated our initial business combination within the completion window or (B) with respect
+Added: to any other provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity;
+Added: or (iii) absent an initial
+Added: business combination within the completion window, our return of the funds held in the Trust Account to our public shareholders as part
+Added: of our redemption of the public shares.
+Added: If we do not invest the proceeds as discussed above, we may be deemed to be subject to the Investment
+Added: under the subjective test of a “investment company” pursuant to Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, even if
+Added: the funds deposited in the Trust Account were invested in the assets discussed above, such assets, other than cash, are “securities”
+Added: for purposes of the Investment Company Act and, therefore, there is a risk that we could be deemed an investment company and subject
+Added: to the Investment Company Act.
+Added: the adopting release for the Final Rules, the SEC provided guidance that a SPAC’s potential status as an “investment company”
+Added: depends on a variety of factors, such as a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities and “is a
+Added: question of facts and circumstances” requiring individualized analysis.
+Added: If we were deemed to be subject to compliance with and
+Added: regulation under the Investment Company Act, we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which we have not
+Added: allotted funds.
+Added: Unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we would either register
+Added: as an investment company or wind down and abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead liquidate the Company.
+Added: As a result, our public shareholders may receive only approximately $11.39 per public share, or less in certain circumstances, on the
+Added: liquidation of our Trust Account and would be unable to realize the potential benefits of an initial business combination, including
+Added: the possible appreciation of the combined company’s securities.
+Added: 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,
+Added: instruct the trustee to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash
+Added: until the earlier of the consummation of our initial business combination or our liquidation.
+Added: As a result, following the liquidation
+Added: of securities in the Trust Account, the interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account may be materially reduced, which would
