The issuance of additional ordinary shares in a business combination:

| ● | may                                                                                                                                   
 significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in this offering, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions 
 in the Class B ordinary shares resulted in the issuance of Class A shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion          
 of the Class B ordinary shares;                                                                                                       |

 shares;                                                                                                                               |

 cause a change of control if a substantial number of ordinary shares are issued, which could result in the resignation or removal 
 of our present officers and directors;                                                                                            |

 have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the equity ownership or voting rights of a person 
 seeking to obtain control of us; and                                                                                              |

| ● | may                                                                                      
 adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A ordinary shares and/or rights. |

Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant indebtedness, it could result in:

 and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial business combination are insufficient to repay our debt 
 obligations;                                                                                                                     |

 that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;                 |
