 shares for sale under applicable state securities laws and even if an exemption from such registration or qualification is not available. As a result, we may redeem our public warrants even if the public holders are otherwise unable to exercise their public warrants (for more information, also see “ Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Sponsor and Management Team — We may redeem your unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your warrants worthless.”). In addition, the ability to redeem our public warrants could create conflicts of interest as it limits the potential upside of holders of our public warrants while our non -redeemableprivate placement warrants remain outstanding and become more valuable as our share price increases.
