Our team must have sufficient access to information to form a well -supportedinvestment thesis and be confident in its ability to market the opportunity to public investors. Ability To Close. Transaction certainty and speed are critical. We aim to close our initial business combination within approximately six months from the signing of a definitive agreement. Manageable Liability.

Where gaps exist, we must be confident in our ability to elevate the asset to meet industry -recognizedstandards using our operational experience. Country Risk. While our team has worked across a broad range of jurisdictions and regulatory environments, we will prioritize opportunities in regions that demonstrate relative social, political, and economic stability. 131 Summary These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive.
