 equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned thereon (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest income to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations and on the conditions described herein.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| Expression of Interest:                                 |     | The non-voting sponsor investors have expressed to us an interest in purchasing up to a maximum of an aggregate of approximately [•] million of the units in this offering at the offering price (assuming the exercise in full of the underwriters’ over-allotment option), or up to a maximum of [•]% of this offering. None of the non-voting sponsor investors has expressed to us an interest in purchasing more than 9.9% of the units to be sold in this offering. There can be no assurance that the non-voting sponsor investors will acquire any units, either directly or indirectly, in this offering, or as to the amount of the units the non-voting sponsor investors will retain, if any, prior to or upon the consummation of our initial business combination.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |

| Because these expressions of interest are not binding agreements or commitments to purchase, non-voting sponsor investors may determine to purchase a fewer number of units in this offering, or none at all. Depending on how many units are purchased by the non-voting sponsor investors, the post-offering trading volume, volatility and liquidity of our securities may be reduced relative to what they would have been had the units been more widely offered and sold to other public investors. We do not expect any purchase of units by the non-voting sponsor investors to negatively impact our ability to meet Nasdaq listing eligibility requirements. In addition, the underwriters have full discretion to allocate the units to investors and may determine to sell a fewer number of units to the non-voting sponsor investors, or none at all, and the purchase of the non-voting shares is not contingent upon the participation in this offering or vice-versa. The underwriter will receive the same upfront discounts and commissions and deferred underwriting commissions on units purchased by the non-voting sponsor investors, if any, as it will on the other units sold to the public in this offering. In addition, none of the non-voting sponsor investors has any obligation to vote any of their public shares in favor of our initial business combination. Nevertheless, the non-voting sponsor investors will be incentivized to vote any of their public shares
