−Removed: Initial Public Offering and Private Placement
−Removed: On July 3, 2024, we consummated

−Removed: In connection with the IPO and the sale of the Option Units, the Company
−Removed: issued a total of 230,000 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Representative Shares”) to the Representative.
−Removed: The proceeds of $57,500,000

−Removed: established for the benefit of our public shareholders and the underwriters of the IPO with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
−Removed: acting as trustee.
−Removed: Our management has broad
−Removed: discretion with respect to the specific application of the proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement that are held out of the Trust
−Removed: Account, although substantially all the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally towards consummating a business combination
−Removed: and working capital.
−Removed: Since our IPO, our sole
−Removed: business activity has been identifying and evaluating suitable acquisition transaction candidates.

−Removed: Competitive Advantages
−Removed: We seek to create compelling
−Removed: shareholder value through the extensive experience and demonstrated success of our management team (in particular, our Chief Executive
−Removed: Officer and Chairman) in investing in, operating and transforming businesses, with a particular combination of competitive advantages
−Removed: ● Leadership of an Experienced Management Team and Board
−Removed: Our management team is led
−Removed: by our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our Board of Directors, Dr.
−Removed: Fen Zhang, our Chief Financial Officer, Mr.
−Removed: Zhechen Wang,
−Removed: and our Independent Directors, Dr.
−Removed: Anthony Wong, Ms.
−Removed: Lauren Simmons and Mr.
−Removed: Kevin McKenzie.
−Removed: Our management team has an extensive
−Removed: track record of creating value for shareholders by acquiring strong businesses at disciplined valuations, investing in growth while fostering
−Removed: financial discipline and ultimately improving financial results.
−Removed: Our team consists of experienced investment banking, financial services
−Removed: and capital market professionals and senior operating executives of companies in multiple jurisdictions.
−Removed: We believe we will benefit from
−Removed: their accomplishments, and specifically their current activities in the Asian market, in identifying attractive acquisition opportunities.
−Removed: ● Established Deal Sourcing Network
−Removed: We believe our management
−Removed: team’s strong track record will provide us with access to high quality companies.
−Removed: In addition, we believe we, through our management
−Removed: team, have contacts and sources from which to generate acquisition opportunities and possibly seek complementary follow-on business arrangements.
−Removed: These contacts and sources include private equity and venture capital sponsors, family offices, executives of public and private companies,
−Removed: merger and acquisition advisory firms, investment banks, capital markets desks, lenders and other financial intermediaries.
−Removed: ● Status as a Publicly Listed Acquisition Company
−Removed: We believe our structure will
−Removed: make us an attractive business combination partner to prospective target businesses.
−Removed: As a publicly listed company, we will offer a target
−Removed: business an alternative to the traditional initial public offering process.
−Removed: We believe that some target businesses will favor this alternative,
−Removed: which we believe is less expensive, while offering greater certainty of execution, than the traditional initial public offering process.
−Removed: During an initial public offering, there are typically underwriting fees and marketing expenses, which would be costlier than a business
−Removed: combination with us.
−Removed: Furthermore, once a proposed business combination is approved by our shareholders (if applicable) and the transaction
−Removed: is consummated, the target business will have effectively become public, whereas an initial public offering is always subject to the underwriter’s
−Removed: ability to complete the offering, as well as general market conditions that could prevent the offering from occurring.
−Removed: Once public, we
−Removed: believe the target business would have greater access to capital and additional means of creating management incentives that are better
−Removed: aligned with shareholders’ interests than it would as a private company.
−Removed: It can offer further benefits by augmenting a company’s
−Removed: profile among potential new customers and vendors and aid in attracting talented management staffs.
−Removed: With respect to the foregoing
−Removed: examples and descriptions, past performance by our management team is not a guarantee either (i) of success with respect to any business
−Removed: combination we may consummate or (ii) that we will be able to identify a suitable candidate for our initial business combination.
−Removed: Potential investors should not rely upon the historical record of our management as indicative of future performance.
−Removed: Acquisition Strategies
−Removed: We will seek to capitalize
−Removed: on the strength of our management team.
−Removed: Our team consists of experienced investment banking, financial services and capital market professionals
−Removed: and senior operating executives of companies in multiple jurisdictions.
−Removed: Collectively, our officers and directors have decades of experience
−Removed: in mergers and acquisitions and operating companies.
−Removed: We believe we will benefit from their accomplishments, and specifically, their current
−Removed: activities, in identifying attractive acquisition opportunities.
−Removed: However, there is no assurance that we will complete a business combination.
−Removed: Our officers and directors have no prior experience consummating a business combination for a “blank check” company.
−Removed: that we will add value to these businesses primarily by providing them with access to the U.S.
−Removed: capital markets.
−Removed: There is no restriction in
−Removed: the geographic location of targets we can pursue, although we intend to initially prioritize Asia.
−Removed: In particular, we intend to focus our
−Removed: search for an initial business combination on private companies in Asia that have compelling economics and clear paths to positive operating
−Removed: cash flow, significant assets, and successful management teams that are seeking access to the U.S.
−Removed: public capital markets.
−Removed: consummate a business combination with an entity located in China (including Hong Kong and Macau).
−Removed: Acquisition Criteria
−Removed: Our management team intends
−Removed: to focus on creating shareholder value by leveraging its experience in the management, operation and financing of businesses to improve
−Removed: the efficiency of operations while implementing strategies to scale revenue organically and/or through acquisitions.
−Removed: In addition to the
−Removed: factors listed above, we have identified the following general criteria and guidelines, which we believe are important in evaluating prospective
−Removed: target businesses.
−Removed: While we intend to use these criteria and guidelines in evaluating prospective businesses, we may deviate from these
−Removed: criteria and guidelines should we see justification to do so.
−Removed: ● Resilient Business Model.
−Removed: to seek target companies that have a resilient business model.
−Removed: Such companies are better positioned to adapt to changing market conditions
−Removed: and consumer preferences, which could provide a competitive advantage.
−Removed: ● Industry Leadership with Sustainable Competitive Advantage.
−Removed: expect to focus on companies that are or have the potential to become leaders in its verticals.
−Removed: We will look for companies with higher
−Removed: operating efficiency, stronger brand recognition, broader distribution channels or any other characteristic that enable the company to
−Removed: achieve long-term competitive proposition.
−Removed: ● Revenue and Earnings Growth Potential.
−Removed: will seek to acquire one or more businesses that have the potential for significant revenue and earnings growth through a combination
−Removed: of both existing and new product development, increased production capacity, expense reduction and synergistic follow-on acquisitions
−Removed: resulting in increased operating leverage.
−Removed: We expect such businesses to provide promising risk-adjusted return for our shareholders.
−Removed: ● Benefit from Being a Public Company.
−Removed: intend to acquire a business or businesses with organic and inorganic growth potential that can benefit from being publicly traded and
−Removed: effectively utilize access to broader sources of capital and a public profile that are associated with being a publicly traded company.
−Removed: This criteria does not intend
−Removed: to be exhaustive.
−Removed: Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial business combination may be based, to the extent relevant,
−Removed: on these general guidelines as well as other considerations, factors and criteria that the Sponsor and management team may deem relevant.
−Removed: In the event that we decide to enter into an initial business combination with a target business that does not meet the above criteria
−Removed: and guidelines, we will disclose that the target business does not meet the above criteria in our shareholder communications related to
−Removed: our initial business combination, which would be in the form of proxy solicitation or tender offer materials, as applicable, that we would
−Removed: file with the U.S.
−Removed: Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.
+Added: Holders of Public Units will need to have their brokers contact the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer &
+Added: Trust Company, in order to separate the holders’ Public Units into Class A Ordinary Shares and Rights.

−Removed: to consummate an initial business combination.
−Removed: However, if we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination
−Removed: by July 3, 2025, we may extend the period of time to consummate a business combination up to two times, each time by an additional three months
−Removed: (up to January 3, 2026 to complete a business combination) (the “Combined Period”) without submitting such proposed extensions
−Removed: to our shareholders for approval or offering our public shareholders redemption rights in connection therewith.
−Removed: Pursuant to the terms
−Removed: of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated July 2, 2024 between
−Removed: us and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, in order to extend the time available for us to consummate our initial business
−Removed: combination, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees, upon five days advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, must deposit
−Removed: into the Trust Account $575,000 on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, for each three month extension (or up to an aggregate
−Removed: of $1,150,000) (the “Extension Fee”).
−Removed: Any such payments would be made in the form of a loan.
−Removed: Any such loans will be non-interest
−Removed: bearing and either be payable upon the consummation of our initial business combination out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released
−Removed: to us, or, at the lender’s discretion, converted upon consummation of our business combination into additional private placement
−Removed: units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the “Extension Units”) .
−Removed: If we do not complete
−Removed: a business combination, the loans would be repaid out of funds not held in the Trust Account, and only to the extent available.
−Removed: and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the Trust Account to extend the time for us to complete our initial business
−Removed: Up to $1,500,000 of the loans made by the Sponsor, our officers and directors, or our or their affiliates to us prior to
−Removed: or in connection with our initial business combination (the “Working Capital Loans”) may be convertible into units, at a price
−Removed: of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender, upon consummation of our initial business combination (the
−Removed: “Working Capital Units”) , in addition to the convertible notes in connection with the potential extensions.
−Removed: The Extension
−Removed: Units and Working Capital Units would be identical to the Private
−Removed: If we are unable to consummate
−Removed: an initial business combination within such time period, we will, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business
−Removed: days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then
−Removed: on deposit in the Trust Account, including any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (net of interest that may be used
−Removed: by us to pay our taxes payable and for dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption
−Removed: will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions,
−Removed: if any), subject to applicable law and as further described herein, and then seek to dissolve and liquidate.
−Removed: We expect the pro rata redemption
−Removed: price to be approximately $10.00 per public share (regardless of whether or not the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option)
−Removed: (subject to increase of up to an additional $0.20 per share in the event that our Sponsor elects to extend the period of time to consummate
−Removed: a business combination by the full six months), without taking into account any interest earned on such funds.
−Removed: However, we cannot
−Removed: assure you that we will in fact be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors, which may take priority over the
−Removed: claims of our public shareholders.
−Removed: We anticipate structuring
−Removed: our initial business combination so that the post-transaction company in which our public shareholders own shares will own or acquire
−Removed: 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses.
−Removed: We may, however, structure our initial business combination
−Removed: such that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to
−Removed: meet certain objectives of the target management team or shareholders or for other reasons, but we will only complete such business combination
−Removed: if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires
−Removed: a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company
−Removed: Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act.
−Removed: Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of
−Removed: the voting securities of the target, our shareholders prior to the business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the
−Removed: post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the business combination transaction.
−Removed: we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new ordinary shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital
−Removed: stock of a target.
−Removed: In this case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target.
−Removed: However, as a result of the issuance of a
−Removed: substantial number of new shares, our shareholders immediately prior to our initial business combination could own less than a majority
−Removed: of our outstanding shares subsequent to our initial business combination.
−Removed: If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target
−Removed: business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned
−Removed: or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% of net assets test.
−Removed: If our initial business combination involves more than
−Removed: one target business, the 80% of net assets test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the target businesses.
−Removed: Potential Legal and Operational Risks Associated
−Removed: with Acquiring a Company that does Business in China
−Removed: Although we currently do not
−Removed: have any PRC subsidiary or China operations, certain of our executive officers and directors are located in, or have significant ties
−Removed: to, China, which may make us a less attractive partner to potential target companies outside the PRC than a non-PRC related SPAC.
−Removed: a result, we are more likely to acquire a company based in China through subsidiaries and variable interest entities in an initial business
−Removed: If we decide to consummate our initial business combination with a target business based in and primarily operating in China,
−Removed: the combined company may face various legal and operational risks and uncertainties after the business combination.
−Removed: In order to reduce
−Removed: or limit such risks, we will not consider or undertake an initial business combination with any company which financial statements are
−Removed: audited by an accounting firm that the PCAOB is unable to inspect for two consecutive years.
−Removed: Accordingly, this may limit the pool
−Removed: of acquisition candidates we may acquire in China due in part to PRC laws and regulations against foreign ownership and investment in
−Removed: certain assets and industries, known as restricted industries, including, but not limited to, value added telecommunications services
−Removed: (except for e-commerce, domestic multiparty communications, store-and-forward services and call centers).
−Removed: Further, due to (i) the
−Removed: risks associated with acquiring and operating a business in the PRC and/or Hong Kong and (ii) the fact that certain of our executive
−Removed: officers and directors are located in or have significant ties to China, it may make a us a less attractive partner to certain potential
−Removed: target businesses, including non-China- or non-Hong Kong-based target companies and may also make it more difficult for us to consummate
−Removed: a business combination with a PRC- or Hong Kong-based target business.
−Removed: In the event that we determine
−Removed: to pursue a business combination target company based in China or Hong Kong, we may become subject to legal and operational risks
−Removed: because the Sponsor operates in China and our executive officers and directors are located in or have significant ties to China resulting
−Removed: from PRC laws and regulations that are sometimes vague and uncertain, and which may therefore, present risks that may result in a material
−Removed: change in its principal operations in China, significantly depreciation of the value of the combined company’s securities, or materially
−Removed: hinder or prevent the offering of securities by the combined company to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly
−Removed: decline or be worthless.
−Removed: The PRC government has significant authority to exert influence on the ability of a China-based company to conduct
−Removed: its business, make or accept foreign investments or list on a U.S.
−Removed: stock exchange.
−Removed: For example, if we enter into a business combination
−Removed: with a target business operating in China, the combined company may face risks associated with regulatory approvals of the proposed business
−Removed: combination between us and the target, offshore offerings, anti-monopoly regulatory actions, cybersecurity and data privacy, as well as
−Removed: the potential lack of PCAOB inspection of its auditors or the auditors of the target business.
−Removed: In addition, the combined company may be
−Removed: subject to legal and operational risks associated with having substantially all of its operations in China, including risks related to
−Removed: the legal, political and economic polies of the Chines government, the relations between China and the United States, or PRC or United States
−Removed: regulations, which risks could have a material adverse effect on the combined company’s operations and the value of the securities
−Removed: of the combined company.
−Removed: The PRC government has recently
−Removed: published new policies that significantly affected certain industries such as the education and internet industries, and we cannot rule
−Removed: out the possibility that it will in the future release regulations or policies regarding any industry that could adversely affect our
−Removed: potential business combination with a PRC operating business and the business, financial condition and results of operations of the combined
−Removed: The PRC government also recently
−Removed: initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including
−Removed: cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and
−Removed: expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.
−Removed: For example, according to the New Measures effective on February 15, 2022, network
−Removed: platform operators with personal information of more than one million users must apply for cyber security review to the Cyber Security
−Removed: Review Office when they go public abroad, and accordingly these companies may not be willing to list on a U.S.
−Removed: stock exchange or
−Removed: enter into a definitive business combination agreement with us.
−Removed: If we enter into a business combination with a target business operating
−Removed: in China, the combined company may face risks associated with regulatory approvals of the proposed business combination between us and
−Removed: the target, offshore offerings, anti-monopoly regulatory actions, and cybersecurity and data privacy.
−Removed: The PRC government may also intervene
−Removed: with or influence the combined company’s operations as the government deems appropriate to further regulatory, political and societal
−Removed: Any such action, once taken by the PRC government, could make it more difficult and costly for us to consummate a business combination
−Removed: with a target business operating in China, result in material changes in the combined company’s post-combination operations and
−Removed: cause the value of the combined company’s securities to significantly decline, or in extreme cases, become worthless or completely
−Removed: hinder the combined company’s ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors.
−Removed: If we acquire a company based
−Removed: in China, to the extent that the combined company in the future seeks to fund the business through distribution, dividends or transfer
−Removed: of funds among and between holding company and subsidiaries, any such transfer of funds within and among the subsidiaries will be subject
−Removed: to PRC regulations.
−Removed: Specifically, investment in Chinese companies is governed by the Foreign Investment Law, the dividends and distributions
−Removed: from a PRC subsidiary are subject to regulations and restrictions on dividends and payment to parties outside of China, and any transfer
−Removed: of funds among the PRC subsidiaries are allowed under and subject to regulations on private lending.
−Removed: Additionally, the PRC government
−Removed: may impose controls on the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of the PRC.
−Removed: for the combined company to pay dividends to its shareholders, the combined company will rely on payments made from the PRC subsidiaries
−Removed: of the combined company and the distribution of such payments to the combined company as dividends from the PRC subsidiaries of the combined
−Removed: If we are to acquire a China-based operating company, the dividends and distributions from a PRC subsidiary are subject to regulations
−Removed: and restrictions on dividends and payment to parties outside of China and the combined company may experience difficulties in completing
−Removed: the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency for the payment of dividends from its subsidiaries, if any.
−Removed: Pursuant to the Holding Foreign
−Removed: Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCAA, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report on December 16, 2021 which found that the PCAOB
−Removed: is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in (1) mainland China of the PRC
−Removed: because of a position taken by one or more authorities in mainland China and (2) Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region
−Removed: and dependency of the PRC, because of a position taken by one or more authorities in Hong Kong.
−Removed: In addition, the PCAOB’s report
−Removed: identified the specific registered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations.
−Removed: On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB
−Removed: announced that PCAOB has secured complete access to inspect and investigate public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and
−Removed: Hong Kong, and vacated previous determinations to the contrary.
−Removed: However, uncertainties exist with respect to the implementation of
−Removed: this framework and there is no assurance that the PCAOB will be able to execute, in a timely manner, its future inspections and investigations
+Added: Further, according to the Measures for Cybersecurity Review, which was promulgated on December 28, 2021
+Added: and became effective on February 15, 2022, online platform operators holding more than one million users/users’ individual information
+Added: shall be subject to cybersecurity review before listing abroad.
+Added: As we are a blank check company and are not involved in the collection
+Added: of personal data of at least 1 million users or implicate cybersecurity and Marie Thinking is a Canadian company, we do not believe that
+Added: we are or the post-combination entity will be a “network platform operator(s)”, or subject to the cybersecurity review of
+Added: the Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC”).
+Added: As of the date hereof, we have not received any inquiry, notice,
+Added: warning, sanction or any regulatory objection to our listing from any relevant PRC authorities.
+Added: Further, we do not consider
+Added: ourselves a China-based issuer, in particular, as specified in the Trial Administrative Measures of the Overseas Securities Offering and
+Added: Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Trial Measures, and five supporting guidelines promulgated by the CSRC on February 17, 2023, which

+Added: or profits of the domestic operating entities of the issuer in the most recent accounting year accounts for more than 50% of the corresponding
+Added: figure in the issuer’s audited consolidated financial statements for the same period;
+Added: and (ii) its major operational activities
+Added: are carried out in China or its main places of business are located in China, or the senior managers in charge of operation and management
+Added: of the issuer are mostly Chinese citizens or are domiciled in China.
+Added: We are a blank check company incorporated in Cayman Islands with
+Added: no operation of our own except searching for a non-China-based target for our initial Business Combination.
+Added: Furthermore, we do not own
+Added: or control any equity interest in any PRC company or operate any business in China, and during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025,
+Added: we do not have 50% or more of our total assets, net assets, revenues or profits located or generated in China.
+Added: As of the date of this report,
+Added: no transfers, dividends, or distributions have been made by us.
+Added: We have not adopted or maintained any other cash management policies and
+Added: procedures and need to comply with applicable law or regulations with respect to transfer of funds, dividends and distributions, if any.
+Added: that we are not a China-based issuer and do not expect to be a China-based issuer upon the consummation of our initial Business Combination,
+Added: we are not subject to nor will become subject to the foreign exchange control rules of the PRC.
+Added: However, applicable laws,
+Added: regulations, or interpretations of PRC may change, and the relevant PRC government agencies could reach a different conclusion.
+Added: is also possibility that we may not be able to obtain or maintain such approval or that we inadvertently concluded that such approval
+Added: was not required.
+Added: If prior approval was required while we inadvertently concluded that such approval was not required or if applicable
+Added: laws and regulations or the interpretation of such were modified to require us to obtain the approval in the future, we may face regulatory
+Added: actions or other sanctions from relevant Chinese regulatory authorities.
+Added: These authorities may take actions that could have a material
+Added: adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of
+Added: our securities.
+Added: In addition, any changes in PRC law, regulations, or interpretations may severely affect our operations.
+Added: Further, if we
+Added: are required by the Trial Measures to file with the CSRC, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete such filings in a timely
+Added: manner, or even at all.
+Added: The CSRC or other Chinese regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us,
+Added: to be subject to other severe consequences, which would materially affect the interest of the investors.
+Added: To that extent, we may not be
+Added: able to conduct the process of searching for a potential target company.
+Added: Any failure of us to fully comply with new regulatory requirements
+Added: may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to continue to list our securities on Nasdaq or offer the securities, causing
+Added: significant disruption to our business operations, severely damage our reputation, materially and adversely affect our financial condition
+Added: and results of operations and cause the securities to significantly decline in value or become worthless.

in a manner that satisfies the Protocol.
Should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access — in
−Removed: any way and at any point in the future — the Board of PCAOB will act immediately to consider the need to issue a new determination.

Certain of our current executive officers and directors are located in, or have significant ties to, China.

−Removed: Potential Approvals from the PRC Governmental
−Removed: Authorities for a Business Combination
−Removed: We are not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for
−Removed: purposes of consummating an initial business combination but will initially focus on Asia.
−Removed: Though we currently do not have any PRC subsidiary

−Removed: The Regulations on Mergers
−Removed: and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors (the “M&A Rules”), adopted by six PRC regulatory agencies
−Removed: in 2006, and amended in 2009, require an offshore special purpose vehicle formed for the purpose of an overseas listing of securities
−Removed: in a PRC company to obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such special purpose vehicle’s securities
−Removed: on an overseas stock exchange.
−Removed: The scope of the M&A Rules covers two types of transactions:

−Removed: WFOE, which are established by means of direct investment rather than by equity deals or asset deals under the M&A Rules.
−Removed: the CSRC has not issued any definitive rules or interpretations concerning whether offerings such as the indirect listing of a China-based
−Removed: entity as part of the business combination are subject to the CSRC approval procedures under the M&A Rules.
−Removed: As a result, based on
−Removed: our management’s understanding of the current PRC laws, rules, regulations and local market practices, the CSRC’s approval
−Removed: under the M&A Rules will not be required in the context of our business combination with a China-based target.
−Removed: However, substantial
−Removed: uncertainty remains regarding the scope and applicability of the M&A Rules to offshore special purpose vehicles and the above analysis
−Removed: are subject to any new laws, rules and regulations or detailed implementation and interpretations in any form relating to the M&A
−Removed: We cannot assure you that relevant PRC governmental agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as we do.
−Removed: is possible that we may need to obtain approvals or permissions from CSRC in order for us to complete a business combination with a China-based
−Removed: target pursuant to the M&A Rules.
−Removed: If we are required to obtain such approvals, we cannot assure we will be able to receive them in
−Removed: a timely manner, or at all.
−Removed: In addition, on December 24,
−Removed: 2021, the CSRC released for public comments Provisions of the State Council on the Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and
−Removed: Listing by Domestic Companies (Draft for Comments) and Administrative Measures for the Filing of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing
−Removed: by Domestic Companies (Draft for Comments) (the “Draft Rules”).
−Removed: The Draft Rules, if declared into effect, will implement a
−Removed: new regulatory framework requiring Chinese businesses to file with CSRC when pursuing overseas listings.
−Removed: The Draft Rules propose a new
−Removed: filing system for all Chinese companies (including the VIE-structured companies) that are pursuing listings outside mainland China.
−Removed: overseas listing is required to be filed with CSRC within three working days (i) following the submission of IPO application
−Removed: in the case of an IPO (or similar application in the case of a dual listing on another market), or (ii) following the submission
−Removed: of offering/registration applications (or following the first announcement of the transaction, as applicable) in the case of a SPAC listing
−Removed: or “back-door” listing.
−Removed: It is our management’s understanding that the Draft Rules, if enacted as it is, will subject
−Removed: a China-based target to the new filing system if we decide to consummate our initial business combination with such target.
−Removed: The China-based
−Removed: target and the combined company may be subject to additional compliance requirements in the future if a final rule is adopted with material
−Removed: changes from the Draft Rules.
−Removed: Though we believe that none of the situations that would clearly prohibit overseas listing and offering
−Removed: applies to us, we cannot assure you that we will be able to receive clearance of such filing requirements in a timely manner, or at all.
−Removed: On December 27, 2021,
−Removed: the National Development and Reform Commission (the “NDRC”) and the Ministry of Commerce (the “MOFCOM”) promulgated
−Removed: Special Administrative Measures (Negative List) for the Access of Foreign Investment (2021 Version), effective as of January 1, 2022
−Removed: (the “Negative List”).
−Removed: Compared to the previous version, there are no specific industries added to the list but, for the first
−Removed: time, it declares China’s jurisdiction over (and detailed regulatory requirements on) overseas listings made by Chinese businesses
−Removed: in the so-called “Prohibited Industries.” According to Article 6 of the Negative List, domestic enterprises engaging
−Removed: in businesses in which foreign investment is prohibited shall obtain approval from the relevant authorities before offering and listing
−Removed: their shares on an overseas stock exchange.
−Removed: In addition, certain foreign investors shall not be involved in the operation or management
−Removed: of the relevant enterprise, and shareholding percentage restrictions under relevant domestic securities investment management regulations
−Removed: shall apply to such foreign investors.
−Removed: The intended scope of such jurisdiction was further clarified by NDRC officials on a press conference
−Removed: held on January 18, 2022.
−Removed: On July 6, 2021, the
−Removed: General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the
−Removed: Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities According to Law (the “Opinions”), which call for strengthened
−Removed: regulation over illegal securities activities and supervision on overseas listings by China-based companies and propose to take effective
−Removed: measures, such as promoting the development of relevant regulatory systems to deal with the risks and incidents faced by China-based overseas-listed
−Removed: Uncertainties still exist
−Removed: as to how the M&A Rules could be interpreted or implemented in the future, and the Opinions stated above is subject to any new laws,
−Removed: rules and regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations in any form relating to the M&A Rules.
−Removed: Furthermore, pursuant to the
−Removed: PRC Cybersecurity Law, which was promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on November 7, 2016
−Removed: and took effect on June 1, 2017, personal information and important data collected and generated by a critical information infrastructure
−Removed: operator in the course of its operations in China must be stored in China, and if a critical information infrastructure operator purchases
−Removed: internet products and services that affects or may affect national security, it should be subject to cybersecurity review by the CAC.
−Removed: April 2020, the CAC and certain other PRC regulatory authorities promulgated the Measures for Cybersecurity Review, which requires
−Removed: that operators of critical information infrastructure must pass a cybersecurity review when purchasing network products and services which
−Removed: do or may affect national security.
−Removed: On January 4, 2022, the CAC, in conjunction with 12 other government departments issued
−Removed: the New Measures for Cybersecurity Review (the “New Measures”).
−Removed: The New Measures amends the Measures for Cybersecurity Review
−Removed: (Draft Revision for Comments) (the “Draft Measures”) released on July 10, 2021 and came into effect on February 15,
−Removed: The New Measures include data processing activities of network platform operators that affect or may affect national security into
−Removed: cybersecurity review and clarify that network platform operators with personal information of more than one million users must apply for
−Removed: cybersecurity review to the Cybersecurity Review Office when they go public abroad.
−Removed: The PRC Data Security Law, which took effect on September 1,
−Removed: 2021, imposes data security and privacy obligations on entities and individuals that carry out data activities, provides for a national
−Removed: security review procedure for data activities that may affect national security and imposes export restrictions on certain data and information.
−Removed: On August 20, 2021, the Standing Committee of the People’s Congress promulgated the PRC Personal Information Protection Law
−Removed: (the “PIPL”), which is to take effect on November 1, 2021.
−Removed: The PIPL sets out the regulatory framework for the handling
−Removed: and protection of personal information and the transmission of personal information overseas.
−Removed: If our potential future target business
−Removed: in China involves collecting and retaining internal or customer data, it is our management’s understanding that such target business
−Removed: might be subject to the relevant cybersecurity laws and regulations, including the PRC Cybersecurity Law and the PIPL as discussed above,
−Removed: and that such target business needs to go through the cybersecurity review process before effecting a business combination if it is deemed
−Removed: as a critical information infrastructure operator purchasing internet products and services that affects or may affect national security,
−Removed: a network platform operator that affect or may affect national security, or a network platform operator with personal information of more
−Removed: than one million users.
−Removed: Since the New Measures is new, the implementation and interpretation thereof are not yet clear.
−Removed: No PRC legal counsel has been
−Removed: retained by the Company.
−Removed: The above discussion is based on our management’s understanding of the current PRC laws, rules, regulations
−Removed: and local market practices and we cannot assure you that our management’s understanding is correct.
−Removed: If we engage in our business
−Removed: combination process with a China-based target, we expect to retain legal experts in the PRC and the U.S.
−Removed: that are experienced with
−Removed: structuring offshore transactions with U.S.
−Removed: public companies.
−Removed: Additionally, we expect that the PRC legal expert will advise us and
−Removed: provide its opinion of counsel relating to the approvals from the PRC Governmental Authorities for the business combination and we cannot
−Removed: assure you that the PRC legal counsel will reach the same conclusion as our management’s assessment above.
−Removed: We plan to consult with
−Removed: PRC government officials when possible to assist us with complying with these structuring considerations and changing developments.
−Removed: Transfer of Cash to and from Our Post-Combination
−Removed: Organization If We Acquire a Company Based in China (Post-Business Combination)
−Removed: We are a blank check company

−Removed: As of the date of this annual report, no transfers, dividends, or distribution have been made by us.
−Removed: If we decide to consummate
−Removed: our initial business combination with a target business based in and primarily operating in China, the combined company whose securities
−Removed: will be listed on a U.S.
−Removed: stock exchange may make capital contributions or extend loans to its PRC subsidiaries through intermediate
−Removed: holding companies subject to compliance with relevant PRC foreign exchange control regulations.
−Removed: After the business combination, the combined
−Removed: company’s ability to pay dividends, if any, to the shareholders and to service any debt it may incur will depend upon dividends
−Removed: paid by its PRC subsidiaries.
−Removed: Under PRC laws and regulations, PRC companies are subject to certain restrictions with respect to paying
−Removed: dividends or otherwise transferring any of their net assets to offshore entities.
−Removed: In particular, under the current PRC laws and regulations,
−Removed: dividends may be paid only out of distributable profits.
−Removed: Distributable profits are the net profit as determined under Chinese accounting
−Removed: standards and regulations, less any recovery of accumulated losses and appropriations to statutory and other reserves required to be made.
−Removed: A PRC company is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year to fund certain statutory reserve funds (up to
−Removed: an aggregate amount equal to half of its registered capital).
−Removed: As a result, the combined company’s PRC subsidiaries may not have
−Removed: sufficient distributable profits to pay dividends to the combined company.
−Removed: Furthermore, if certain procedural requirements are satisfied,
−Removed: the payment in foreign currencies on current account items, including profit distributions and trade and service related foreign exchange
−Removed: transactions, can be made without prior approval from State Administration of Foreign Exchange (the “SAFE”) or its local branches.
−Removed: However, where Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses, such as the repayment
−Removed: of loans denominated in foreign currencies, approval from or registration with competent government authorities or its authorized banks
−Removed: The PRC government may take
−Removed: measures at its discretion from time to time to restrict access to foreign currencies for current account or capital account transactions.
−Removed: If the foreign exchange control regulations prevent the PRC subsidiaries of the combined company from obtaining sufficient foreign currencies
−Removed: to satisfy their foreign currency demands, the PRC subsidiaries of the combined company may not be able to pay dividends or repay loans
−Removed: in foreign currencies to their offshore intermediary holding companies and ultimately to the combined company.
−Removed: We cannot assure you that
−Removed: new regulations or policies will not be promulgated in the future, which may further restrict the remittance of Renminbi into or out of
−Removed: We cannot assure you, in light of the restrictions in place, or any amendment to be made from time to time, that the PRC
−Removed: subsidiaries of the combined company will be able to satisfy their respective payment obligations that are denominated in foreign currencies,
−Removed: including the distribution of earnings from our businesses, including subsidiaries, to the parent company and U.S.
−Removed: investors as well as
−Removed: the ability to settle amounts owed under contractual agreements.
−Removed: Furthermore, the transfer
−Removed: of funds among the PRC subsidiaries are subject to the Provisions of the Supreme People’s Court on Several Issues Concerning the
−Removed: Application of Law in the Trial of Private Lending Cases (2020 Revision, the “Provisions on Private Lending Cases”), which
−Removed: was issued by the Supreme People’s Court of the People’s Republic of China on August 25, 2015 and amended on August 19,
−Removed: 2020 and December 29, 2020, respectively, to regulate the financing activities between natural persons, legal persons and unincorporated
−Removed: organizations.
−Removed: The Provisions on Private Lending Cases do not apply to the disputes arising from relevant financial services such as loan
−Removed: disbursement by financial institutions and their branches established upon approval by the financial regulatory authorities to engage
−Removed: in lending business.
−Removed: The Provisions on Private Lending Cases set forth that private lending contracts will be deemed invalid under the
−Removed: circumstance that (i) the lender swindles loans from financial institutions for relending;
−Removed: (ii) the lender relends the funds
−Removed: obtained by means of a loan from another profit-making legal person, raising funds from its employees, or illegally taking deposits from
−Removed: (iii) the lender who has not obtained the lending qualification according to the law lends money to any unspecified object
−Removed: of the society for the purpose of making profits;
−Removed: (iv) the lender lends funds to a borrower when the lender knows or should have
−Removed: known that the borrower intended to use the borrowed funds for illegal or criminal purposes;
−Removed: (v) the lending is violations of public
−Removed: orders or good morals;
−Removed: or (vi) the lending violates mandatory provisions of laws or administrative regulations.
−Removed: The Provisions on
−Removed: Private Lending Cases set forth that the People’s Court shall support the interest rates not exceeding four times of the market
−Removed: interest rate quoted for one-year loan at the time the private lending contracts were entered into.
−Removed: It is our management’s understanding
−Removed: that the Provisions on Private Lending Cases does not prohibit using cash generated from one subsidiary to fund another subsidiary’s
−Removed: We have not been notified of any other restriction which could limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to transfer cash
−Removed: between subsidiaries.
