+Added: We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placements, our capital stock, debt or a combination of
+Added: these in effecting our initial business combination.
+Added: Although substantially all of the net proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placements
+Added: are intended to be applied generally toward effecting a business combination, the proceeds are not otherwise being designated for any
+Added: more specific purposes.
+Added: Accordingly, investors in the IPO were investing without first having an opportunity to evaluate the specific
+Added: merits or risks of any one or more business combinations.
+Added: Our initial business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger
+Added: with, a company which does not need substantial additional capital but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares.
+Added: In the alternative, we may seek to consummate a business combination with a company that may be financially unstable or in its early
+Added: stages of development or growth.
+Added: While we may seek to effect simultaneous business combinations with more than one target business, we
+Added: will probably have the ability, as a result of our limited resources, to effect only a single business combination.
+Added: outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has adversely affected the economies and financial
+Added: markets worldwide, and potential target companies may defer or end discussions for a potential business combination with us whether or
+Added: not COVID-19 affects their business operations.
+Added: The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our search for a business combination and completion
+Added: of the proposed business acquisition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including
+Added: new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others.
+Added: We may be unable to complete the proposed business combination if continued concerns relating to COVID-19 restrict travel, limit the
+Added: ability to have meetings with potential investors or the target company’s personnel, vendors and services providers are unavailable
to negotiate and consummate a transaction in a timely manner.

Market Value of Target Business
−Removed: to Nasdaq listing rules, our initial business combination must occur with one or more target businesses having an aggregate fair
−Removed: market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the funds in the trust account (excluding any deferred underwriter’s
−Removed: fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the trust account), which we refer to as the 80% test, at the time of the execution
−Removed: of a definitive agreement for our initial business combination, although we may structure a business combination with one or more
−Removed: target businesses whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the trust account balance.
−Removed: If we are no longer listed on
−Removed: Nasdaq, we will not be required to satisfy the 80% test.
−Removed: currently anticipate structuring a business combination to acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business
−Removed: or businesses.
−Removed: We may, however, structure a business combination where we merge directly with the target business or where we
−Removed: acquire less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management
−Removed: team or shareholders or for other reasons, but we will only complete such business combination if the post-transaction company
−Removed: owns 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise owns a controlling interest in the target sufficient
−Removed: for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
−Removed: Even if the post-transaction

−Removed: own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the business
−Removed: combination transaction.
−Removed: For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange
−Removed: for all of the outstanding capital 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 substantial number of new shares, our shareholders immediately prior to our initial
−Removed: business combination could own less than a majority of our outstanding shares subsequent to our initial business combination.
−Removed: If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction
−Removed: company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% test.
−Removed: In order to consummate such an acquisition, we may issue a significant amount of our debt or equity securities to the sellers
−Removed: of such businesses and/or seek to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt or equity securities.

The fair market value of the target will be determined by our board of directors based upon one or more
standards generally accepted by the financial community (such as actual and potential sales, earnings, cash flow and/or book value).

of Business Diversification
−Removed: expect to complete only a single business combination, although this process may entail simultaneous business combinations with

−Removed: not have the resources to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses.
−Removed: consummating our initial business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may:
−Removed: subject us to negative
−Removed: economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular
−Removed: industry in which we may operate subsequent to our initial business combination, and
−Removed: result in our dependency
−Removed: upon the performance of a single operating business or the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number
−Removed: of products, processes or services.
−Removed: we determine to simultaneously consummate our initial business combination with several businesses and such businesses are owned
−Removed: by different sellers, we will need for each of such sellers to agree that our purchase of its business is contingent on the simultaneous

Approval of Business Combination
−Removed: connection with any proposed business combination, we will either (1) seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination
−Removed: at a meeting called for such purpose at which public shareholders may seek to redeem their public shares, regardless of whether
−Removed: they vote for or against the proposed business combination, into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit
−Removed: in the trust account (net of taxes payable) or (2) provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to sell their public shares
−Removed: to us by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount equal to their pro rata share
−Removed: of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account (net of taxes payable), in each case subject to the limitations described
−Removed: Notwithstanding the foregoing, our initial shareholders have agreed, pursuant to written letter agreements with us, not
−Removed: to redeem any public shares held by them into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account.
−Removed: If we determine to engage in a tender offer, such tender offer will be structured so that each shareholder may tender any or all
−Removed: of his, her or its public shares rather than some pro rata portion of his, her or its shares.
−Removed: The decision as to whether we will
−Removed: seek shareholder approval of a proposed business combination or will allow shareholders to sell their shares to us in a tender
−Removed: offer will be made by us based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction, whether the terms of the transaction
−Removed: would otherwise require us to seek shareholder approval or whether we were deemed to be a foreign private issuer (which would
−Removed: require us to conduct a tender offer rather than seeking shareholder approval under SEC rules).
−Removed: If we so choose and we are legally
−Removed: permitted to do so, we have the flexibility to avoid a shareholder vote and allow our shareholders to sell their shares pursuant
−Removed: to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act which regulate issuer tender offers.
−Removed: In that case, we will file tender offer
−Removed: documents with the SEC which will contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business combination
−Removed: as is required under the SEC’s proxy rules.
−Removed: We will consummate our initial business combination only if we have net tangible
−Removed: assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation and, solely if we seek shareholder approval, a majority of the issued and
−Removed: outstanding ordinary shares voted are voted in favor of the business combination.
−Removed: chose our net tangible asset threshold of $5,000,001 to ensure that we would avoid being subject to Rule 419 promulgated under
−Removed: the Securities Act.
−Removed: However, if we seek to consummate an initial business combination with a target business that imposes any
−Removed: type of working capital closing condition or requires us to have a minimum amount of funds available from the trust account upon
−Removed: consummation of such initial business combination, our net tangible asset threshold may limit our ability to consummate such initial
−Removed: business combination (as we may be required to have a lesser number of shares redeemed or sold to us) and may force us to seek
−Removed: third party financing which may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.
−Removed: As a result, we may not be able to consummate
−Removed: such initial business combination and we may not be able to locate another suitable target within the applicable time period,
−Removed: Public shareholders may therefore have to wait until May 16, 2021 (or November 16, 2021, if extended) in order to be
−Removed: able to receive a pro rata share of the trust account.
−Removed: initial shareholders and our officers and directors have agreed (1) to vote any ordinary shares owned by them in favor of any
−Removed: proposed business combination, (2) not to redeem any ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed
−Removed: initial business combination and (3) not sell any ordinary shares in any tender in connection with a proposed initial business

−Removed: Shares from persons in the open market or in private transactions (other than the Private Units).
−Removed: However, if we hold a meeting
−Removed: to approve a proposed business combination and a significant number of shareholders vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against
−Removed: such proposed business combination, our officers, directors, initial shareholders or their affiliates could make such purchases
−Removed: in the open market or in private transactions in order to influence the vote.
−Removed: Notwithstanding the foregoing, our officers, directors,
−Removed: initial shareholders and their affiliates will not make purchases of Ordinary Shares if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2)
−Removed: or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act, which are rules designed to stop potential manipulation of a company’s stock.
+Added: connection with any proposed business combination, we will either (1) seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination at
+Added: a meeting called for such purpose at which public shareholders may seek to redeem their public shares, regardless of whether they vote
+Added: for or against the proposed business combination, into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account
+Added: (net of taxes payable) or (2) provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to sell their public shares to us by means of a tender
+Added: offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on
+Added: deposit in the trust account (net of taxes payable), in each case subject to the limitations described herein.
+Added: Notwithstanding the foregoing,
+Added: our initial shareholders have agreed, pursuant to written letter agreements with us, not to redeem any public shares held by them into
+Added: their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account.
+Added: If we determine to engage in a tender offer, such
+Added: tender offer will be structured so that each shareholder may tender any or all of his, her or its public shares rather than some pro
+Added: rata portion of his, her or its shares.
+Added: The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed business combination
+Added: or will allow shareholders to sell their shares to us in a tender offer will be made by us based on a variety of factors such as the
+Added: timing of the transaction, whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require us to seek shareholder approval or whether we
+Added: were deemed to be a foreign private issuer (which would require us to conduct a tender offer rather than seeking shareholder approval
+Added: under SEC rules).
+Added: If we so choose and we are legally permitted to do so, we have the flexibility to avoid a shareholder vote and allow
+Added: our shareholders to sell their shares pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act which regulate issuer tender offers.
+Added: In that case, we will file tender offer documents with the SEC which will contain substantially the same financial and other information
+Added: about the initial business combination as is required under the SEC’s proxy rules.
+Added: We will consummate our initial business combination
+Added: only if we have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation and, solely if we seek shareholder approval, a majority
+Added: of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares voted are voted in favor of the business combination.
+Added: chose our net tangible asset threshold of $5,000,001 to ensure that we would avoid being subject to Rule 419 promulgated under the Securities
+Added: However, if we seek to consummate an initial business combination with a target business that imposes any type of working capital
+Added: closing condition or requires us to have a minimum amount of funds available from the trust account upon consummation of such initial
+Added: business combination, our net tangible asset threshold may limit our ability to consummate such initial business combination (as we may
+Added: be required to have a lesser number of shares redeemed or sold to us) and may force us to seek third party financing which may not be
+Added: available on terms acceptable to us or at all.
+Added: As a result, we may not be able to consummate such initial business combination and we
+Added: may not be able to locate another suitable target within the applicable time period, if at all.
+Added: Public shareholders may therefore have
+Added: to wait until May 16, 2022 in order to be able to receive a pro rata share of the trust account.
+Added: initial shareholders and our officers and directors have agreed (1) to vote any ordinary shares owned by them in favor of any proposed
+Added: business combination, (2) not to redeem any ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business

−Removed: that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative.
−Removed: In addition, there
−Removed: is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of,
−Removed: any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason.
−Removed: Sponsor has agreed that, if we liquidate the trust account prior to the consummation of a business combination, it will be liable
−Removed: to pay debts and obligations to target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered
−Removed: or contracted for or products sold to us in excess of the net proceeds of the IPO not held in the trust account, but only to the
−Removed: extent necessary to ensure that such debts or obligations do not reduce the amounts in the trust account and only if such parties
−Removed: have not executed a waiver agreement.
−Removed: However, we cannot assure you that he will be able to satisfy those obligations if he is
−Removed: required to do so.
−Removed: Accordingly, the actual per-share distribution could be less than $10.00 due to claims of creditors.
−Removed: Additionally,
−Removed: if we are forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against us which is not dismissed, the proceeds
−Removed: held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject
−Removed: to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders.
−Removed: To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete
−Removed: the trust account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return to our public shareholders at least $10.00 per share.
−Removed: identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business, we may encounter intense competition from other entities having a business
−Removed: objective similar to ours.
−Removed: Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting
−Removed: business combinations directly or through affiliates.
−Removed: Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources
−Removed: than us and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors.
−Removed: we believe there may be numerous potential target businesses that we could acquire with the net proceeds of the IPO, our ability
−Removed: to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses may be limited by our available financial resources.
−Removed: following also may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses:
−Removed: our obligation to
−Removed: seek shareholder approval of a business combination or obtain the necessary financial information to be sent to shareholders
−Removed: in connection with such business combination may delay or prevent the completion of a transaction;
−Removed: our obligation to
−Removed: redeem public shares held by our public shareholders may reduce the resources available to us for a business combination;
−Removed: NASDAQ may require
−Removed: us to file a new listing application and meet its initial listing requirements to maintain the listing of our securities following
−Removed: a business combination;
−Removed: our outstanding
−Removed: warrants, rights and unit purchase options and the potential future dilution they represent;
−Removed: our obligation to
−Removed: pay the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions to Maxim Group LLC upon consummation of our initial business combination;
−Removed: our obligation to
−Removed: either repay or issue units upon conversion of up to $500,000 of working capital loans that may be made to us by our initial
−Removed: shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates;
−Removed: our obligation to
−Removed: register the resale of the insider shares, as well as the private units (and underlying securities) and any securities issued
−Removed: to our initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates upon conversion of working capital loans;
−Removed: the impact on the
−Removed: target business’
−Removed: assets as a result of unknown liabilities under the securities laws or otherwise depending on developments
−Removed: involving us prior to the consummation of a business combination.
−Removed: of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a business combination.
−Removed: Our management
−Removed: believes, however, that our status as a public entity and potential access to the United States public equity markets may give
−Removed: us a competitive advantage over privately-held entities having a similar business objective as ours in acquiring a target business
−Removed: with significant growth potential on favorable terms.
−Removed: we succeed in effecting a business combination, there will be, in all likelihood, intense competition from competitors of the
−Removed: target business.
−Removed: We cannot assure you that, subsequent to a business combination, we will have the resources or ability to compete
−Removed: maintain our principal executive offices at Room 1108, 11th Floor, Block B, New Mandarin Plaza, 14 Science Museum Road, Tsimshatsui
−Removed: East, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
−Removed: The cost for this space is provided to us by our Sponsor, as part of the $10,000 per month payment we
−Removed: make to it for office space and related services.
−Removed: We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations.
−Removed: have two executive officers.
−Removed: These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters and intend
−Removed: to devote only as much time as they deem necessary to our affairs.
−Removed: The amount of time they will devote in any time period will
−Removed: vary based on whether a target business has been selected for the business combination and the stage of the business combination
−Removed: process the company is in.
−Removed: Accordingly, once management locates a suitable target business to acquire, they will spend more time
−Removed: investigating such target business and negotiating and processing the business combination (and consequently spend more time to
−Removed: our affairs) than they would prior to locating a suitable target business.
−Removed: We presently expect our executive officers to devote
−Removed: such amount of time as they reasonably believe is necessary to our business (which could range from only a few hours a week while
−Removed: we are trying to locate a potential target business to a majority of their time as we move into serious negotiations with a target
−Removed: business for a business combination).
−Removed: We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of a business
−Removed: a smaller reporting company we are not required to make disclosures under this Item.
−Removed: UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
+Added: Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refused to execute a waiver include the engagement
+Added: of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other
+Added: consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a provider of required services willing
+Added: to provide the waiver.
