Articles prior to any voluntary winding up. If we are required to wind up, liquidate the Trust Account and distribute such amount therein,
pro rata, to our Public Shareholders, as part of any liquidation process, such winding up, liquidation and distribution must comply with
the applicable provisions of the Companies Act. In that case, investors may be forced to wait beyond the Combination Period before the
redemption proceeds of our Trust Account become available to them and they receive the return of their pro rata portion of the proceeds
from our Trust Account. We have no obligation to return funds to investors prior to the date of our redemption or liquidation unless
we consummate our initial Business Combination prior thereto and only then in cases where investors have sought to redeem their ordinary
shares. Only upon our redemption or any liquidation will Public Shareholders be entitled to distributions if we are unable to complete
our initial Business Combination.
