+Added: that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the risk factors described in our Form 10-K
+Added: for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
+Added: As of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed
+Added: in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC, other than those described below.
+Added: Rule 5815 was amended effective October 7, 2024 to provide for the immediate suspension and delisting for failure to meet the 36-month requirement
+Added: in Nasdaq Rule IM 5101-2(b) to complete a business combination, and our securities will face an immediate suspension and delisting action
+Added: once we receive a delisting determination letter from Nasdaq after the 36-month window ends on December 20, 2024
+Added: Listing Rule IM-5101-2(b) (the “Rule”), requires that we complete a business combination no later than 36 months after
+Added: our IPO, and Nasdaq Rule 5815 was amended effective October 7, 2024 to provide for the immediate suspension and delisting for failure
+Added: to meet the 36-month requirement to complete a business combination within the timeframe specified by the Rule, and our securities
+Added: will face an immediate suspension and delisting action once we receive a delisting determination letter from Nasdaq after such 36-month window
+Added: ends on December 20, 2024.
+Added: Therefore, if we do not complete our business combination by December 20, 2024, our securities will be suspended
+Added: and delisted from Nasdaq.
+Added: In addition, while we may appeal the suspension and delisting, a Nasdaq hearings panel will have no discretion
+Added: in allowing us to remain listed and may only reverse the Nasdaq’s staff’s determination if it finds it made a factual error
+Added: applying the Rule, which there will not be assuming that we receive a delisting letter on or after December 20, 2024.
+Added: extensions permitted under our charter allow us to complete a business combination after December 20, 2024, which is beyond the time-frame permitted
+Added: by the Rule and which means we may not be listed at the time we close a business combination.
+Added: our securities are delisted, our securities would likely trade on the Over the Counter (OTC) market, which could limit investors’
+Added: ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.
+Added: If this were to occur, we would face
+Added: significant material adverse consequences, including.
+Added: determination that our public shares are a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in the public shares to adhere
+Added: to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for its securities;
+Added: limited availability of market quotations for the Company’s securities;
+Added: liquidity for the Company’s securities;
+Added: decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
+Added: we would no longer be listed on Nasdaq, our securities would no longer be considered to be “covered securities” under the
+Added: National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities,
+Added: including in connection with our initial business combination, which may make more difficult and costly to complete a business combination.
+Added: Further, this may make us a less attractive business combination partner for companies with which we would otherwise seek to pursue a
+Added: business combination.
+Added: In addition, our securityholders could be prohibited from trading in our securities absent our registration in
+Added: the state where such securityholder lives.
+Added: To date we have not registered our securities in any State, and do not currently plan to do
+Added: This may make it difficult or impossible for our securityholders to trade in our securities.
