 relatively new and their interpretation and implementation has been constantly evolving,
it is unclear how these regulations, and any future regulation concerning offshore or cross-border transactions, will be interpreted,
amended and implemented by the relevant government authorities. For example, we may be subject to a more stringent review and approval
process with respect to our foreign exchange activities, such as remittance of dividends and foreign-currency-denominated borrowings,
which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if we decide to acquire a PRC domestic company,
we cannot assure you that we or the owners of such company, as the case may be, will be able to obtain the necessary approvals or complete
the necessary filings and registrations required by the foreign exchange regulations. This may restrict our ability to implement our
acquisition strategy and could adversely affect our business and prospects.

Compliance
with the PRC Antitrust Law may limit our ability to effect our initial business combination.

The
PRC Antitrust Law became effective on August 1, 2008. The government authorities in charge of antitrust matters in China are the Antitrust
Commission and other antitrust authorities under the State Council. The PRC Antitrust Law regulates (1) monopoly agreements, including
decisions or actions in concert that preclude or impede competition, entered into by business operators; (2) abuse of dominant market
position by business operators; and (3) concentration of business operators that may have the effect of precluding or impeding competition.
To implement the Antitrust Law, in 2008, the State Council formulated the regulations that require filing of concentration of business
operators, pursuant to which concentration of business operators refers to (1) merger with other business operators; (2) gaining control
over other business operators through acquisition of equity interest or assets of other business operators; and (3) gaining control over
other business operators through exerting influence on other business operators through contracts or other means. In 2009, the Ministry
of Commerce, to which the Antitrust Commission is affiliated, promulgated the Measures for Filing of Concentration of Business Operators
(amended by the Guidelines for Filing of Concentration of Business Operators in 2014), which set forth the criteria of concentration
and the requirement of miscellaneous documents for the purpose of filing. The business combination we contemplate may be considered the
concentration of business operators, and to the extent required by the Antitrust Law and the criteria established by the State Council,
we must file
