We intend to employ a fundamental, value-oriented acquisition framework that seeks a target with the potential for significant equity value creation coupled with strong downside protection from dependable cash flows and a durable business franchise. The management team along with our board of directors have experience in:

| ■ | Operating companies in the public and private markets, defining corporate strategy, and identifying, mentoring and recruiting top talent; |

| ■ | Growing companies, both organically and through strategic transactions, expanding product portfolios and broadening geographic footprints; |

| ■ | Sourcing, structuring, acquiring and selling businesses; |

| ■ | Accessing public and private capital markets to optimize capital structure, including financing businesses and helping companies transition ownership structures; |

| ■ | Fostering relationships with sellers, capital providers and experienced target management teams; and |

| ■ | Building companies with resilient and flexible business models that have had success in navigating multiple periods of economic drawdowns. |

Following the completion of this offering, we will communicate with our management’s network of deal sourcing relationships to articulate the parameters for our search for a potential business combination and begin the process of pursuing and reviewing potential opportunities.
