 approval of such financing. There are no prohibitions on

Sources
of Target Businesses

We
anticipate that target business candidates will be brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including investment bankers
and private investment funds. Target businesses may be brought to our attention by such unaffiliated sources as a result of being solicited
by us through calls or mailings. These sources may also introduce us to target businesses in which they think we may be interested on
an unsolicited basis, since many of these sources will have read this Annual Report and know what types of businesses we are targeting.
Our officers and directors, as well as their affiliates CBC, Credian and Quantum Leaps, may also bring to our attention target business
candidates of which they become aware through their business contacts as a result of formal or informal inquiries or discussions they
may have, as well as attending trade shows or conventions. In addition, we expect to receive a number of proprietary deal flow opportunities
that would not otherwise necessarily be available to us as a result of the track record and business relationships of our officers and
directors. While we do not presently anticipate engaging the services of professional firms or other individuals that specialize in business
acquisitions on any formal basis, we may engage these firms or other individuals in the future, in which event we may pay a finder’s
fee, consulting fee or other compensation to be determined in an arm’s length negotiation based on the terms of the transaction.
We will engage a finder only to the extent our management determines that the use of a finder may bring opportunities to us that may
not otherwise be available to us or if finders approach us on an unsolicited basis with a potential transaction that our management determines
is in our best interest to pursue. Payment of a finder’s fee is customarily tied to completion of a transaction. In no event, however,
will our Sponsor or any of our existing officers or directors, or any entity with which they are affiliated, be paid any finder’s
fee, consulting fee or other compensation by the Company prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the completion
of our initial Business Combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). We may also elect
