 issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 25% of the total number of all ordinary shares outstanding upon completion of this offering plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with our initial business combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial business combination or any private placement-equivalent units issued to our sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to us). This structure is unlike the structure of similar blank check companies, which often provide that the Class B ordinary shares would equal 20% of the outstanding ordinary shares upon the completion of the offering.

Subject to certain exceptions, pursuant to a letter agreement entered into with us, our sponsor, officers and directors will agree not to transfer, assign or sell any founder shares held by them until 180 days after completion of our initial business combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if we complete a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction after our initial business combination that results in all of our public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property, the founder shares will be released from the lock-up.
