 should not rely on the historical record of our management team’s, our
advisors’ or our Sponsor’s respective performance as indicative of our future performance of an investment in us or the
returns we will, or are likely to, generate going forward. Furthermore, an investment in us is not an investment in our founders or
their affiliates.

We
may seek acquisition opportunities in industries or sectors which may or may not be outside of our management’s area of expertise.

We
will consider a Business Combination outside of our management’s area of expertise if a Business Combination candidate is presented
to us and we determine that such candidate offers an attractive acquisition opportunity for our company. Although our management will
endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in any particular business combination candidate, we cannot assure you that we will adequately
ascertain or assess all the significant risk factors. We also cannot assure you that an investment in our Units will not ultimately prove
to be less favorable to investors in our Initial Public Offering than a direct investment, if an opportunity were available, in a Business Combination candidate. In the event we elect to pursue an acquisition outside of the areas of our management’s expertise, our management’s
expertise may not be directly applicable to its evaluation or operation, and the information contained in this Form 10-K regarding the
areas of our management’s expertise would not be relevant to an understanding of the business that we elect to acquire. As a result,
our management may not be able to adequately ascertain or assess all the significant risk factors. Accordingly, any shareholders who
choose to remain shareholders following our Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such shareholders
are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value.

Although
we have identified general criteria and guidelines that we believe are important in evaluating prospective target businesses, we may
enter into our initial business combination with a target that does not meet such criteria and guidelines, and as a result, the target
business with which we enter into our initial business combination may not have attributes entirely consistent with our general criteria
and guidelines.

Although
we have identified general criteria and guidelines for evaluating prospective target businesses, it is possible that a target business
with which we enter into our initial business combination will not have all of these positive attributes. If we complete our initial
business combination with a target that does not meet some or all of these criteria and guidelines, such combination may not be as successful
as a combination with a business that does meet all of our general criteria and
