+Added: Factors that could cause our actual results to
+Added: differ materially from those in this report include the risk factors described in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
+Added: As of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Form 10-K for the period
+Added: ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC, except as set forth below:
+Added: A new 1% U.S.
+Added: federal excise tax could be
+Added: imposed on us in connection with redemptions.
+Added: On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act
+Added: of 2022 (the “IRA”) was signed into federal law.
+Added: The IRA provides for, among other things, a new U.S.
+Added: federal 1% excise tax
+Added: on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded U.S.
+Added: corporations, by certain U.S.
+Added: subsidiaries of publicly
+Added: traded non-U.S.
+Added: corporations, by “covered surrogate foreign corporations” (as defined in the IRA) and by certain affiliates
+Added: of the foregoing (each, a “covered corporation”).
+Added: Because our securities are trading on the Nasdaq, we are a “covered
+Added: corporation” for this purpose.
+Added: The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which
+Added: shares are repurchased.
+Added: The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of
+Added: the repurchase.
+Added: However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value
+Added: of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year.
+Added: In addition, certain
+Added: exceptions apply to the excise tax.
+Added: Department of Treasury has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance
+Added: to carry out, and to prevent the avoidance of the excise tax.
+Added: The IRA applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022.
+Added: If we complete a business combination after December
+Added: 31, 2022, any redemption or other repurchase that occurs in connection with the business combination, or any other redemption or other
+Added: repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022 may be subject to the excise tax.
+Added: Whether and to what extent we would be subject to the
+Added: excise tax would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases, (ii) the nature
+Added: and amount of the equity issued in connection with the business combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with the business combination
+Added: but issued within the same taxable year of the business combination), and (iii) the content of regulations and other guidance from the
+Added: Department of the Treasury.
+Added: In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by us, and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics
+Added: of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined.
+Added: The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand
+Added: to complete any business combination and in our ability to complete any such business combination.
