 believe this will allow us to generate a differentiated pipeline of acquisition opportunities and lead to executing a business combination with an attractive target company more quickly, efficiently, and under better terms than our competitors.

We have identified the following general criteria and guidelines as we evaluate prospective target companies.

| ● | Large                                                                                                                              
 underpenetrated markets with favorable industry dynamics. We intend to actively look for suitable investment opportunities with an 
 enterprise value of approximately $180 million - $1 billion. We expect to prioritize targets that are already benefiting from or   
 capitalizing on trends found within their respective sectors.                                                                      |

| ● | Strong                                                                                                                                   
 management team. The strength of the management team is expected to be an important component in our review process. We will seek        
 to partner with a visionary, experienced and professional management team that can drive growth, strategic decision making and long-term 
 value creation.                                                                                                                          |

| ● | Defensible                                                                                                                         
 market position with sustainable competitive advantage. We intend to favor targets that have a strong competitive advantage or are 
 category leaders in their respective verticals. We expect to target companies that have strong intellectual property, technology,  
 or brand equity within their respective sectors and that can be further monetized on a global basis.                               |

| ● | Benefit                                                                                                                               
 from being a public company. We intend to only acquire businesses that would benefit from being publicly traded in the United States, 
 including access to broader sources of capital and expanded market awareness. This improved access to capital could allow the targets 
 to accelerate growth, pursue new projects, retain and hire employees, and expand into new geographies or businesses.                  |

These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive. While we intend to use these criteria in evaluating the attractiveness of potential business combination opportunities, we may ultimately decide to enter into an initial business combination with a target business that does not meet these criteria.

In evaluating a prospective target business, we expect to conduct a thorough due diligence review that will encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and employees, document reviews, interviews of customers and suppliers, inspection of facilities, as well as the review of financial and other information which will be made available to us. We will also utilize our operational and capital allocation experience. Our acquisition criteria, due diligence processes, and value creation methods are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial business combination may be based, to the extent relevant, on these general guidelines as well as other considerations, factors,
