Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an independent registered public accounting firm’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non -emerginggrowth public companies under the Dodd -FrankWall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the report of the independent registered public accounting firm providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of this offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier. 142 PROPOSED BUSINESS Introduction We are a blank check company incorporated on November 9, 2022 as a British Virgin Islands business company with limited liability and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this prospectus as our initial business combination. We have not selected any business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target. We currently intend to concentrate our efforts on companies in the leisure and entertainment sectors but we are not required to complete our initial business combination with a business in these industries. As a result, we may pursue a business combination outside of these industries. We expect to pursue both domestic and global businesses. Business Strategy We will seek to capitalize on the experience and networks of the members of our management team: Mr. Claudius Tsang, Mr. Ashley Bancroft, Mr. Nathan Pau and Ms. Tracy Hui Yin Choi, as well as our advisors, Mr. Kester Ng, to identify, evaluate and acquire a target business.
