−Removed: We are a blank check company incorporated as
−Removed: a Delaware corporation whose business purpose is to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization
−Removed: or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
−Removed: We have not selected any specific business combination target and we have
−Removed: not, nor has anyone on our behalf, engaged in any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target
−Removed: with respect to an initial business combination with us.
−Removed: While we may pursue an initial business combination target in any business,
−Removed: industry or geographic location, we intend to search globally for target companies within the M&E industry with a primary focus on
−Removed: the United States, and in particular on identifying attractive targets among content studios and film production, family entertainment,
−Removed: animation, music, gaming, e-sports, talent management, talent-facing brands and businesses.
−Removed: The COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed immense and dramatic
−Removed: power shifts in the vast, interconnected M&E industry, which surged to $2.2 trillion in global revenues in 2021 and is expected to
−Removed: reach $2.6 trillion by 2025 according to a 2021 report by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
−Removed: 1 A clear driver of change in this space
−Removed: has been the new potential of AI-based technologies plus the evolution of digital consumption, especially as a result of the COVID-19
−Removed: pandemic, as a sustained revenue driver existing alongside traditional media consumption channels.
−Removed: Consumers’ embrace of the new
−Removed: ecosystem helped offset revenue declines due to pandemic-related closures and has created heightened growth opportunities for media &
−Removed: entertainment companies.
−Removed: As a result, our management team believes a number
−Removed: of strong and growing M&E businesses are now in a position where capital and expertise are needed to achieve their full growth potential.
−Removed: While some M&E business have turned to consolidation, others are seeking capital and scale through alternative means that maintain
−Removed: independence from larger conglomerates.
−Removed: This includes, for instance, celebrity-owned studios and production houses with robust content
−Removed: pipelines seeking enhanced scale;
−Removed: new media entities (e.g., podcast, music rights and IP aggregators, e-sports) looking for capital to
−Removed: continue their growth trajectory;
−Removed: undervalued talent-facing companies with solid business fundamentals, such as large agencies and PR
−Removed: and non-traditional business divisions, such as virtual reality or animated digital production houses, trapped within traditional
−Removed: media companies.
−Removed: Business Strategy
−Removed: We believe that our team has desirable attributes
−Removed: to potential targets in the M&E space.
−Removed: Our team is a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic mixture of seasoned public-company executives,
−Removed: Hollywood insiders, media operators, media investors, and individuals with ample public markets and M&A experience.
−Removed: demonstrated an extensive track record of successful acquisitions, value creation, and value enhancement in media & entertainment
−Removed: industry and has access to proprietary opportunities globally that can be leveraged to drive value.
−Removed: Our team’s proprietary connections
−Removed: include touchpoints to, for example, celebrity-owned studios and brands, family entertainment media, animation, talent management, and
−Removed: music, including direct relationships with many celebrities.
−Removed: Our team’s track record extends to successful
−Removed: experiences negotiating deals with numerous studios, franchises, agencies, distributors and streamers, as well as experience working
−Removed: directly with talent and production studios, navigating M&E companies through acquisition transactions (as both acquiror and acquiree),
−Removed: expanding product ranges for existing businesses, and providing strategic guidance to develop revenue and commercial opportunities.

−Removed: Furthermore, we believe our team’s diversity
−Removed: is especially attractive to prospective M&E targets and a key competitive advantage to achieving higher value.
−Removed: is one of the least diverse of all industries, with 92% of film executives, for instance, being white, according to a 2021 McKinsey &
−Removed: Company report.
−Removed: The same report found this has translated into substantial loses for the industry, with an estimated minimum $10 billion
−Removed: in revenue lost due to a lack of representation.
−Removed: Given the wealth of data supporting the reality
−Removed: that diverse teams outperform non-diverse counterparts, our diverse management team represents a core advantage for our company;
−Removed: our team’s diversity will make us more attractive to M&E targets, both in terms of addressing diversity gaps and in terms of
−Removed: helping prospective targets achieve higher returns once public.
−Removed: Management Team
−Removed: Our management team has a long history of value
−Removed: creation in the private and public markets, with a strong track record of creating value for stockholders including through acquiring
−Removed: and operating successful businesses within our target sectors.
−Removed: In particular, many of the companies our team has invested in or operated
−Removed: have been affiliated with celebrity partners, and several members of our team have become trusted partners with celebrities and business
−Removed: We believe this unique network of relationships and extensive experience sourcing and executing transactions will enhance our
−Removed: ability to complete a successful business combination and accelerate the growth trajectory and profitability of the acquired business
−Removed: post-business combination.
−Removed: We believe that we are well positioned to identify
−Removed: attractive acquisition opportunities in the M&E industry, in particular because our team will utilize their access to industry contacts
−Removed: and proprietary deal flow to generate business combination opportunities.
−Removed: We believe that our team’s networks in particular will
−Removed: broaden our access to potential transaction opportunities outside typical competitive deal sourcing intermediaries.
−Removed: Our team is well-connected
−Removed: in our target sectors and, as such we have the opportunity to be potential targets’ preferred partner for opportunities that they
−Removed: might think are appropriate for a SPAC acquisition.
−Removed: Illustrative networks, for instance, include the networks and accolades of Mr.
−Removed: Yada, and Mr.

−Removed: The networks and experiences of our other members
−Removed: are discussed in more detail in Part III, Item 10 ( Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance ), and we believe each
−Removed: individual member of our team features a comparably strong mixture of experiences and networks which we feel constitutes a strong advantage
−Removed: to successfully consummating a deal.

−Removed: As a first generation American and native Spanish
−Removed: Bengochea is a passionate advocate for greater Hispanic and general diversity in entertainment, media, and in the public
−Removed: markets, and for promoting more people of color in executive leadership level.
−Removed: Several members of our team also champion diversity
−Removed: of leadership and investment.
−Removed: This is a statistical rarity in both the public markets and in the SPAC space, and that the team believes
−Removed: there is high demand to remedy this disparity in both in the public markets and in the media and entertainment industry.
−Removed: as the aforementioned McKinsey & Company finding that a lack of diversity is causing substantial losses in the media industry, we
−Removed: believe, further augments our team’s attractiveness to potential targets, and is a further point of differentiation in the marketplace.

Acquisition Strategy
−Removed: Our team will leverage its skills, expertise
−Removed: and strong network within Hollywood and other international M&E hubs to identify attractive target companies and provide guidance
−Removed: on the benefits of being a publicly-traded entity, including broader access to capital, increased liquidity for potential acquisitions,
−Removed: expanded branding opportunities in the marketplace, and reputational and consumer confidence gains, and on the process of transitioning

−Removed: Consistent with this strategy, we have identified
−Removed: parameters and criteria that we think are important and relevant in evaluating prospective target businesses.

−Removed: While we have not yet selected a target business
−Removed: with which to consummate our initial business combination, we believe based on our management’s business knowledge and past experience
−Removed: that there are numerous potential candidates.
−Removed: We expect that our principal means of identifying potential target businesses will be through
−Removed: the extensive contacts and relationships of our initial stockholders, officers and directors.
−Removed: While our officers and directors are not
−Removed: required to commit any specific amount of time in identifying or performing due diligence on potential target businesses, our officers
−Removed: and directors believe that the relationships they have developed over their careers will generate a number of potential business combination
−Removed: opportunities that will warrant further investigation.
−Removed: We also anticipate that target business candidates will be brought to our attention
−Removed: from various unaffiliated sources, including investment bankers, venture capital funds, private equity funds, leveraged buyout funds,
−Removed: management buyout funds and other members of the financial community.
−Removed: Target businesses may be brought to our attention by such unaffiliated
−Removed: sources as a result of being solicited by us through calls or mailings.
−Removed: These sources may also introduce us to target businesses they
−Removed: think we may be interested in on an unsolicited basis, since many of these sources will have read our Prospectus and know what types
−Removed: of businesses we are targeting.
−Removed: Our officers and directors must present to us
−Removed: all target business opportunities that have a fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the trust account (net of deferred

Fair Market Value of Target Business
−Removed: NASDAQ listing rules require that the target
−Removed: business or businesses that we acquire must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in
−Removed: the trust account (net of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement
−Removed: for our initial business combination.
−Removed: Notwithstanding the foregoing, if we are not then listed on NASDAQ for whatever reason, we would
−Removed: no longer be required to meet the foregoing 80% fair market value test.
−Removed: We currently anticipate structuring a business
−Removed: combination to acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses.
−Removed: We may, however, structure our initial
−Removed: business combination where we merge directly with the target business or a newly formed subsidiary or where we acquire less than 100%
−Removed: of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or stockholders
+Added: NASDAQ listing rules require

+Added: than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or stockholders
or for other reasons, but we do not intend to complete such business combination unless the post-transaction company owns or acquires

Even if the post-transaction

that is owned or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% of trust account balance test.
−Removed: The fair market value of the target will be determined
−Removed: by our Board of Directors based upon one or more standards generally accepted by the financial community (such as actual and potential
−Removed: sales, earnings, cash flow and/or book value).
−Removed: The proxy solicitation materials or tender offer documents used by us in connection with
−Removed: any proposed transaction will provide public stockholders with our analysis of the fair market value of the target business, as well
−Removed: as the basis for our determinations.
−Removed: If our Board is not able to independently determine that the target business has a sufficient fair
−Removed: market value, we will obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated, independent investment banking firm, or another independent entity that
−Removed: commonly renders valuation opinions, with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria.
−Removed: We will not be required to obtain an opinion
−Removed: from an investment banking firm as to the fair market value if our Board of Directors independently determines that the target business
−Removed: complies with the 80% threshold.
−Removed: Lack of Business Diversification
−Removed: We may seek to effect a business combination
−Removed: with more than one target business, although we expect to complete our business combination with just one business.
−Removed: Therefore, at least
−Removed: initially, the prospects for our success may be entirely dependent upon the future performance of a single business operation.
−Removed: other entities which may have the resources to complete several business combinations of entities operating in multiple industries or
−Removed: multiple areas of a single industry, it is probable that we will not have the resources to diversify our operations or benefit from the
−Removed: possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses.
−Removed: By consummating a business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification
−Removed: ● subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory
−Removed: developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent
−Removed: to a business combination, and
−Removed: ● result in our dependency upon the performance of a single
−Removed: operating business or the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services.
−Removed: If we determine to simultaneously acquire several
−Removed: businesses and such businesses are owned by different sellers, we will need for each of such sellers to agree that our purchase of its
−Removed: business is contingent on the simultaneous closings of the other acquisitions, which may make it more difficult for us, and delay our
−Removed: ability, to complete the business combination.
−Removed: With multiple acquisitions, we could also face additional risks, including additional
−Removed: burdens and costs with respect to possible multiple negotiations and due diligence investigations (if there are multiple sellers) and
−Removed: the additional risks associated with the subsequent assimilation of the operations and services or products of the acquired companies
−Removed: in a single operating business.
−Removed: Limited Ability to Evaluate the Target Business’ Management
−Removed: Although we intend to scrutinize the management
−Removed: of a prospective target business when evaluating the desirability of effecting a business combination, we cannot assure you that our
−Removed: assessment of the target business’ management will prove to be correct.
−Removed: In addition, we cannot assure you that the management team
−Removed: will have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company.
−Removed: Furthermore, the future role of our officers
−Removed: and directors, if any, in the target business following a business combination cannot presently be stated with any certainty.
−Removed: is possible that some of our key personnel will remain associated in senior management or advisory positions with us following a business
−Removed: combination, it is unlikely that they will devote their full-time efforts to our affairs subsequent to a business combination.
−Removed: they would only be able to remain with the company after the consummation of a business combination if they are able to negotiate employment
−Removed: or consulting agreements in connection with the business combination.
−Removed: Such negotiations would take place simultaneously with the negotiation
−Removed: of the business combination and could provide for them to receive compensation in the form of cash payments and/or our securities for
−Removed: services they would render to the company after the consummation of the business combination.
−Removed: While the personal and financial interests
−Removed: of our key personnel may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business, their ability to remain with the
−Removed: company after the consummation of a business combination will not be the determining factor in our decision as to whether or not we will
−Removed: proceed with any potential business combination.
−Removed: Additionally, we cannot assure you that our officers and directors will have significant
−Removed: experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business.
−Removed: Following a business combination, we may seek
−Removed: to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business.
−Removed: We cannot assure you that we will have
−Removed: the ability to recruit additional managers, or that any such additional managers we do recruit will have the requisite skills, knowledge
−Removed: or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management.
−Removed: Stockholders May Not Have the Ability to Approve an Initial
−Removed: Business Combination
−Removed: In connection with any proposed business combination,
−Removed: we will either (1) seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which stockholders
−Removed: may seek to convert their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed business combination or don’t vote
−Removed: at all, into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account (net of taxes payable), or (2) provide
−Removed: our stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to us by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder
−Removed: vote) for an amount equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account (net of taxes payable),
−Removed: in each case subject to the limitations described herein and in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
−Removed: The decision as
−Removed: to whether we will seek stockholder approval of a proposed business combination or will allow stockholders to sell their shares to us
−Removed: in a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction
−Removed: and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require us to seek stockholder approval.
−Removed: If we determine to engage in a tender
−Removed: offer, such tender offer will be structured so that each stockholder may tender all of his, her or its shares rather than some pro rata
−Removed: portion of his, her or its shares.
−Removed: In that case, we will file tender offer documents with the SEC which will contain substantially the
−Removed: same financial and other information about the initial business combination as is required under the SEC’s proxy rules.
−Removed: we seek stockholder approval or engage in a tender offer, we will consummate our initial business combination only if a majority of the
−Removed: outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the business combination.
−Removed: We have no specified maximum percentage threshold
−Removed: for redemptions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and even those public stockholders who vote in favor of our
−Removed: initial business combination have the right to convert their public shares.
−Removed: As a result, this may make it easier for us to consummate
−Removed: our initial business combination.
−Removed: If we seek to consummate an initial business
−Removed: combination with a target business that imposes any type of working capital closing condition or requires us to have a minimum amount
−Removed: of funds available from the trust account upon consummation of such initial business combination, this may force us to seek third party
−Removed: 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 such initial
−Removed: business combination and we may not be able to locate another suitable target within the applicable time period, if at all.
−Removed: Public stockholders
−Removed: may therefore have to wait 12 months (or up to 18 months, if we extend the time to complete a business combination as described in this
−Removed: Annual Report) from the closing of our IPO in order to be able to receive a pro rata share of the trust account.
−Removed: Our initial stockholders, officers and directors
−Removed: have agreed (1) to vote any shares of common stock owned by them in favor of any proposed business combination, (2) not to convert any
−Removed: shares of common stock in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination and (3) not sell any
−Removed: shares of common stock in any tender in connection with a proposed initial business combination.
−Removed: None of our officers, directors, initial stockholders
−Removed: or their affiliates has indicated any intention to purchase units or shares of common stock from persons in the open market or in private
−Removed: transactions.
−Removed: However, if we hold a meeting to approve a proposed business combination and a significant number of stockholders vote,
−Removed: or indicate an intention to vote, against such proposed business combination or that they wish to convert their shares, our officers,
−Removed: directors, initial stockholders or their affiliates could make such purchases in the open market or in private transactions in order
−Removed: to reduce the number of redemptions.
+Added: The fair market value of the
+Added: target will be determined by our Board of Directors based upon one or more standards generally accepted by the financial community (such
+Added: as actual and potential sales, earnings, cash flow and/or book value).
+Added: The proxy solicitation materials or tender offer documents used
+Added: by us in connection with any proposed transaction will provide public stockholders with our analysis of the fair market value of the target

−Removed: as described in this Annual Report) from the closing of our IPO, we will provide public stockholders with the opportunity to convert
−Removed: their public shares in connection with any such vote.
−Removed: This redemption right shall apply in the event of the approval of any such amendment,
−Removed: whether proposed by any executive officer, director, initial stockholder, or any other person.
−Removed: Our initial stockholders, officers and
−Removed: directors have agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to any founder’s shares and any public shares they may hold in
−Removed: connection with any vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
+Added: seek to amend any provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation that would affect our public stockholders’
+Added: ability to convert or sell their shares to us as described herein or affect the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of
+Added: our public shares if we do not complete a business combination within 12 months (or up to 18 months, if we extend the time to complete

+Added: to convert their public shares in connection with any such vote.
+Added: This redemption right shall apply in the event of the approval of any

+Added: Our initial stockholders,
+Added: officers and directors have agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and any public shares they may hold
+Added: in connection with any vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
Specifically, our amended and restated certificate
of incorporation provides, among other things, that:
−Removed: ● we shall either (1) seek stockholder approval of our initial
−Removed: business combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which stockholders may seek to convert their shares, regardless of whether
−Removed: they vote for or against the proposed business combination or don’t vote at all, into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount
−Removed: then on deposit in the trust account (net of taxes payable), or (2) provide our stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares
−Removed: to us by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount equal to their pro rata share of the
−Removed: aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account (net of taxes payable), in each case subject to the limitations described herein
−Removed: and in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation;
−Removed: ● we will consummate our initial business combination only
−Removed: if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the business combination;
−Removed: ● if our initial business combination is not consummated within
−Removed: 12 months (or up to 18 months, if we extend the time to complete a business combination as described in this Annual Report) from the
−Removed: closing of our IPO, then we will redeem all of the outstanding public shares and thereafter liquidate and dissolve our company;
−Removed: ● we may not consummate any other business combination, merger,
−Removed: capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar transaction prior to our initial business combination;
−Removed: ● prior to our initial business combination, we may not issue
−Removed: additional stock that participates in any manner in the proceeds of the trust account, or that votes as a class with the common stock
−Removed: sold in our IPO on an initial business combination.
−Removed: In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target
−Removed: business, we may encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours.
−Removed: Many of these entities
−Removed: are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates.
−Removed: of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources than us and our financial resources will be relatively limited
−Removed: when contrasted with those of many of these competitors.
−Removed: While we believe there may be numerous potential target businesses that we could
−Removed: acquire with the net proceeds of our IPO, our ability to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses may be limited by our
−Removed: available financial resources.
−Removed: The following also may not be viewed favorably
−Removed: by certain target businesses:
−Removed: ● our obligation to seek stockholder approval of a business
−Removed: combination or engage in a tender offer may delay the completion of a transaction;
−Removed: ● our obligation to convert or repurchase shares of common
−Removed: stock held by our public stockholders may reduce the resources available to us for a business combination;
−Removed: ● our outstanding warrants, as well as the rights to one-fifth
−Removed: (1/5) of one share of common stock upon consummation of our initial business combination included within our units, and the potential
−Removed: future dilution they represent.
−Removed: Any of these factors may place us at a competitive
−Removed: disadvantage in successfully negotiating a business combination.
−Removed: Our management believes, however, that our status as a public entity
−Removed: and potential access to the United States public equity markets may give us a competitive advantage over privately held entities having
−Removed: a similar business objective as ours in acquiring a target business with significant growth potential on favorable terms.
−Removed: If we succeed in effecting a business combination,
−Removed: there will be, in all likelihood, intense competition from competitors of the target business, including from companies that may be subject
−Removed: to less stringent disclosure and other securities law requirements as the surviving company in our business combination and that therefore
−Removed: may have a competitive advantage.
−Removed: We cannot assure you that, subsequent to a business combination, we will have the resources or ability
−Removed: to compete effectively.
+Added: shall either (1) seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which stockholders
+Added: may seek to convert their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed business combination or don’t vote
+Added: at all, into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account (net of taxes payable), or (2) provide
+Added: our stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to us by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder
+Added: vote) for an amount equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account (net of taxes payable),
+Added: in each case subject to the limitations described herein and in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation;
+Added: will consummate our initial business combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor
+Added: of the business combination;
+Added: our initial business combination is not consummated within 12 months (or up to 18 months, if we extend the time to complete a business
+Added: combination as described in this Annual Report) from the closing of our IPO, then we will redeem all of the outstanding public shares
+Added: and thereafter liquidate and dissolve our company;
+Added: may not consummate any other business combination, merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization
+Added: or similar transaction prior to our initial business combination;
+Added: to our initial business combination, we may not issue additional stock that participates in any manner in the proceeds of the trust account,
+Added: or that votes as a class with the common stock sold in our IPO on an initial business combination.
Financial Position
−Removed: With funds available for an initial business
−Removed: combination initially in the amount of $66,481,500 assuming no redemptions before non-reimbursable fees and expenses associated with
−Removed: our initial business combination and after payment of $2,518,500 of deferred underwriting fees and any offering costs, we offer a target
−Removed: business a variety of options such as creating a liquidity event for its owners, providing capital for the potential growth and expansion
−Removed: of its operations or strengthening its balance sheet by reducing its debt or leverage ratio.
−Removed: Because we are able to complete our initial
−Removed: business combination using our cash, debt or equity securities, or a combination of the foregoing, we have the flexibility to use the
−Removed: most efficient combination that will allow us to tailor the consideration to be paid to the target business to fit its needs and desires.
−Removed: However, we have not taken any steps to secure third party financing and there can be no assurance it will be available to us.
−Removed: Effecting Our Initial Business Combination
−Removed: We are not presently engaged in, and we will
−Removed: not engage in, any operations for an indefinite period of time following the IPO.
−Removed: We intend to effectuate our initial business combination
−Removed: using cash from the proceeds of the IPO and the private placement of the private placement warrants, the proceeds of the sale of our
−Removed: shares in connection with our initial business combination (pursuant to backstop agreements we may enter into following the consummation
−Removed: of the IPO or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target,
−Removed: or a combination of the foregoing.
−Removed: We may seek to complete our initial business combination with a company or business that may be financially
−Removed: unstable or in its early stages of development or growth, which would subject us to the numerous risks inherent in such companies and
−Removed: We will either (1) seek stockholder approval
−Removed: of our initial business combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which stockholders may seek to convert their shares, regardless
−Removed: of whether they vote for or against the proposed business combination or don’t vote at all, into their pro rata share of the aggregate
−Removed: amount then on deposit in the trust account (net of taxes payable), or (2) provide our stockholders with the opportunity to sell their
−Removed: shares to us by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder 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: herein and in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
−Removed: The decision as to whether we will seek stockholder approval of
−Removed: our proposed business combination or allow stockholders to sell their shares to us in a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our
−Removed: discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction
−Removed: would otherwise require us to seek stockholder approval.
−Removed: If we decide to allow stockholders to sell their shares to us in a tender offer,
−Removed: we will file tender offer documents with the SEC which will contain substantially the same financial and other information about the
−Removed: initial business combination as is required under the SEC’s proxy rules.
−Removed: If we seek stockholder approval, we will complete our
−Removed: initial business combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock are voted in favor of the initial business
−Removed: We have no specified maximum percentage threshold for redemptions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
−Removed: and even those public stockholders who vote in favor of our initial business combination have the right to convert their public shares.
−Removed: As a result, this may make it easier for us to consummate our initial business combination.
−Removed: We will have up to 12 months from the closing
−Removed: of our IPO to consummate an initial business combination.
−Removed: In addition, if we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate our initial
−Removed: business combination within 12 months, our sponsor may, but are not obligated to, extend the period of time to consummate a business
−Removed: combination two times by an additional three months each time (for a total of up to 18 months to complete a business combination), provided
−Removed: that, pursuant to the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the trust agreement to be entered into between
−Removed: us and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company on the date of this Annual Report, the only way to extend the time available for
−Removed: us to consummate our initial business combination in the absence of a charter amendment, is for our insiders or their affiliates or designees,
−Removed: upon at least five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, to deposit into the trust account $229,770 ($0.0333 per
−Removed: unit), or an aggregate of $459,540, for each three-month extension, on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline.
−Removed: that they elected to extend the time to complete a business combination and deposited the applicable amount of money into trust, the
−Removed: insiders would receive a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note equal to the amount of any such deposit that will not be repaid
−Removed: in the event that we are unable to close a business combination unless there are funds available outside the trust account to do so.
−Removed: Such notes would either be paid upon consummation of our initial business combination, or, at the lender’s discretion, at closing
−Removed: Our stockholders have approved the issuance of the private warrants upon conversion of such notes, to the extent the holder
−Removed: wishes to so convert such notes at the time of the consummation of our initial business combination.
−Removed: In the event that we receive notice
−Removed: from our insiders five days prior to the applicable deadline of their intent to effect an extension, we intend to issue a press release
−Removed: announcing such intention at least three days prior to the applicable deadline.
−Removed: In addition, we intend to issue a press release the day
−Removed: after the applicable deadline announcing whether or not the funds had been timely deposited.
−Removed: Our insiders and their affiliates or designees
−Removed: are not obligated to fund the trust account to extend the time for us to complete our initial business combination.
−Removed: To the extent that
−Removed: some, but not all, of our insiders, decide to extend the period of time to consummate our initial business combination, such insiders
−Removed: (or their affiliates or designees) may deposit the entire amount required.
−Removed: If we are unable to consummate an initial business combination
−Removed: within such time period, we will redeem 100% of our outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account,
−Removed: equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and
−Removed: not previously released to us for taxes as described herein (and less up to $100,000 of interest which can be used for liquidation expenses),
−Removed: divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to applicable law and as further described herein, and then seek to
−Removed: dissolve and liquidate.
−Removed: We expect the pro rata redemption price to be approximately $10.00 per share of common stock, without taking
−Removed: into account any interest earned on such funds or any increase as a result of our extending the time to consummate a business combination
−Removed: as described herein.
−Removed: However, we cannot assure you that we will in fact be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors
−Removed: which may take priority over the claims of our public stockholders.
−Removed: NASDAQ listing rules require that our initial
−Removed: business combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value of at least 80% of the assets
−Removed: held in the trust account at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial business combination (excluding deferred underwriting
−Removed: commissions and taxes payable).
−Removed: The fair market value of the target or targets will be determined by our Board of Directors based upon
−Removed: one or more standards generally accepted by the financial community (such as actual and potential sales, earnings, cash flow and/or book
−Removed: Although our Board of Directors will rely on generally accepted standards, our Board of Directors will have discretion to select
−Removed: the standards employed.
−Removed: In addition, the application of the standards generally involves a substantial degree of judgment.
−Removed: investors will be relying on the business judgment of the Board of Directors in evaluating the fair market value of the target or targets.
−Removed: The proxy solicitation materials or tender offer documents used by us in connection with any proposed transaction will provide public
−Removed: stockholders with our analysis of the fair market value of the target business, as well as the basis for our determinations.
−Removed: is not able independently to determine the fair market value of the target business or businesses, we will obtain an opinion from an
−Removed: independent investment banking firm, or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions, with respect to the satisfaction
−Removed: of such criteria.
−Removed: Notwithstanding the foregoing, if we are not then listed on NASDAQ for whatever reason, we would no longer be required
−Removed: to meet the foregoing 80% fair market value test.
−Removed: We currently anticipate structuring a business
−Removed: combination to acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses.
−Removed: We may, however, structure our initial
−Removed: business combination where we merge directly with the target business or a newly formed subsidiary or where we acquire less than 100%
−Removed: of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or stockholders
−Removed: or for other reasons, but we intend to only complete such business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or
−Removed: more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it
−Removed: not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
−Removed: Even if the post-transaction
−Removed: company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our stockholders prior to the business combination may collectively
−Removed: own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the business combination
−Removed: For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the
−Removed: outstanding capital stock of a target.
−Removed: In this case, we could acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target;
−Removed: however, as a result
−Removed: of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, our stockholders immediately prior to our initial business combination could own
−Removed: less than a majority of our outstanding shares subsequent to our initial business combination.
−Removed: If less than 100% of the equity interests
−Removed: or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses
−Removed: that is owned or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% fair market value test.
−Removed: We have three executive officers.
−Removed: These individuals
−Removed: are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters and intend to devote only as much time as they deem necessary
−Removed: to our affairs.
−Removed: The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected
−Removed: for the business combination and the stage of the business combination process the company is in.
−Removed: Accordingly, once a suitable target
−Removed: business has been located, management may spend more time investigating such target business and negotiating and processing the business
−Removed: combination (and consequently spend more time on our affairs) than had been spent prior to locating a suitable target business.
−Removed: expect our executive officers to devote such amount of time as they reasonably believe is necessary to our business.
−Removed: We do not intend
−Removed: to have any full-time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination.
