 in ways adverse to us and our management team. The premiums charged for such policies have generally increased and the terms of such policies have generally become less favorable. These trends may continue into the future. The increased cost and decreased availability of directors and officers liability insurance could make it more difficult and more expensive for us to negotiate an initial business combination. In order to obtain directors and officers liability insurance or modify its coverage as a result of becoming a public company, the post -businesscombination entity might need to incur greater expense, accept less favorable terms or both. However, any failure to obtain adequate directors and officers liability insurance could have an adverse impact on the post -businesscombination’s ability to attract and retain qualified officers and directors. 44 In addition, even after we were to complete an initial business combination, our directors and officers could still be subject to potential liability from claims arising from conduct alleged to have occurred prior to the initial business combination. As a result, in order to protect our directors and officers, the post -businesscombination entity may need to purchase additional insurance with respect to any such claims (“run -offinsurance”). The need for run -offinsurance would be an added expense for the post -businesscombination entity, and could interfere with or frustrate our ability to consummate an initial business combination on terms favorable to our investors. If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, GSR Sponsor, our directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may elect to purchase shares or public rights from public shareholders, which may increase the likelihood of closing our initial business combination and reduce the public “float” of our securities. If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, GSR Sponsor, our directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may purchase public shares or public rights in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial business combination. Any such price per share may be different than the amount per share a public shareholder would receive if it elected to redeem its shares in connection with our initial business combination. Additionally, at any time at or prior to our initial business combination, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), GSR Sponsor, our directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may enter into transactions with investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares, vote their public shares in favor of our initial business combination or not redeem
