 could be adversely affected by reductions in the value of the local currency. The value
of the currencies in our target regions fluctuate and are affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions.
Any change in the relative value of such currency against our reporting currency may affect the attractiveness of any target business
or, following consummation of our initial Business Combination, our financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, if a
currency appreciates in value against the dollar prior to the consummation of our initial Business Combination, the cost of a target
business as measured in dollars will increase, which may make it less likely that we are able to consummate such transaction.

Changes
to laws or regulations or in how such laws or regulations are interpreted or applied, or a failure to comply with any laws, regulations,
interpretations or applications may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial Business
Combination.

We
are subject to laws and regulations, and interpretations and applications of such laws and regulations, of national, regional, state
and local governments and applicable non-U.S. jurisdictions. In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC and potentially
other legal and regulatory requirements, and our consummation of an Initial Business Combination may be contingent upon our ability to
comply with certain laws, regulations, interpretations and applications and any post-Business Combination company may be subject to additional
laws, regulations, interpretations and applications. Compliance with, and monitoring of, the foregoing may be difficult, time consuming
and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time, and those changes
could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete an initial Business Combination.
A failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business,
including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination.

some of the SEC’s proposed rules for SPACs that were released on March 30, 2022. The 2024 SPAC Rules, among other items, impose
additional disclosure requirements in initial public offerings by SPACs and business combination transactions involving SPACs and private
operating companies; amend the financial statement requirements applicable to business combination transactions involving such
