1. 01We are a blank check company with no operating history and no revenues, and you have no basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective
2. 02Our public shareholders may not be afforded an opportunity to vote on our proposed business combination, which means we may complete our initial business combination even though a majority of our public shareholders do not support such a combination
3. 03Your only opportunity to affect the investment decision regarding a potential business combination will be limited to the exercise of your right to redeem your shares from us for cash, unless we seek shareholder approval of such business combination
4. 04The ability of our public shareholders to redeem their shares for cash may make our financial condition unattractive to potential business combination targets, which may make it difficult for us to enter into a business combination with a target
5. 05The ability of our public shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our shares may not allow us to complete the most desirable business combination or optimize our capital structure
6. 06If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, our sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote in favor of such initial business combination, regardless of how our public shareholders vote
7. 07If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to complete our initial business combination
8. 08The longer that the funds in the trust account are held in short -term U.S. government securities or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, the greater the risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case we may be required to liquidate
9. 09Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations or how such laws or regulations are interpreted or applied, may adversely affect our business, investments and results of operations

12. 12We may seek acquisition opportunities with a financially unstable business or an entity lacking an established record of revenue or earnings
13. 13We are not required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking or from an independent accounting firm, and consequently, you may have no assurance from an independent source that the price we are paying for the business is fair to our Company from a financial point of view
14. 14The personal and financial interests of our officers and directors may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business combination, completing an initial business combination and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination
15. 15Of the net proceeds from our IPO and the sale of the private placement units, $173,195,000 will be available to complete our business combination and pay related fees and expenses (which includes $300,000 for the payment of deferred underwriting commissions)
16. 16We may seek acquisition opportunities in industries or sectors that may be outside of our management’s areas of expertise
17. 17We may seek business combination opportunities with a high degree of complexity that require significant operational improvements, which could delay or prevent us from achieving our desired results

21. 21The ownership interest of our sponsor may change, and our sponsor may divest its ownership interest in us before identifying a business combination, which could deprive us of key personnel

23. 23Certain agreements related to our IPO may be amended without shareholder approval

26. 26Our search for a business combination, and any target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially adversely affected by the occurrence of a natural disaster
27. 27Since our officers and directors will be eligible to share in a portion of any appreciation in founder shares purchased at approximately $0.006 per share, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular business combination target is appropriate for our initial business combination
28. 28If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination within 12 months of the closing of our IPO, our public shareholders may be forced to wait beyond such 12 months before redemption from our trust account

33. 33The grant of registration rights to our initial shareholders may make it more difficult to complete our initial business combination, and the future exercise of such rights may adversely affect the market price of our Class A ordinary shares
