In connection with our initial business combination, we may issue shares to investors in private placement transactions (so -calledPIPE transactions) in order to complete an initial business combination and provide sufficient liquidity and capital to the post -businesscombination entity. As of the date of this prospectus, we have no commitments to issue any shares in connection with such a transaction. The price of the shares so issued in connection with an initial business combination may be less, and potentially significantly less, than $10.00 per share or the market price for our shares at such time.

We may also provide price protection or other incentives, or issue convertible securities such as preferred equity or convertible debt, and the exercise or conversion price of those securities may be fixed or adjustable, and may be less, and potentially significantly less, than $10.00 per share or the market price for our shares at such time. Further, such dilution would even further increase if the anti -dilutionprovisions in the Class B ordinary shares resulted in the issuance of Class A ordinary shares on a greater than one -to-onebasis upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares. Such issuances could also result in additional transaction costs related to our initial business combination compared to a traditional initial public offering, including the placement fees associated with the engagement of a placement agent in connection with PIPE transactions. In order to facilitate our initial business combination or for any other reason determined by
