Such risks include, but are not limited to :
−Removed: We have no operating history and no revenues, and you have no basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective.

−Removed: We may not be able to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame, in which case we would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and we would redeem our public shares and liquidate, in which case our public shareholders may receive only $10.10 per share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, and our warrants will expire worthless.
