 public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights                 
 as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any);            
 and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval        
 of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject              
 in the case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors

 to the completion of our initial business combination, we may not issue additional securities  
 (other than the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the Class B ordinary       
 shares) that would entitle the holders thereof to (i) receive funds from the trust account     
 or (ii) vote as a class with our public shares (a) on our initial business combination or      
 on any other proposal presented to shareholders prior to or in connection with the completion

 provisions;                                                                                    |

 prohibited from doing so. In the event we enter into such a transaction, we, or a committee    
 of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm   
 or an independent valuation or accounting firm that such a business combination or transaction 
 is fair to our company from a financial point of view;                                         |

 or stock exchange rule and we do not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other   
 reasons, we will offer to redeem our public shares pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation       
 14E of the Exchange Act, and will file tender offer documents with the SEC prior
