 Geeza, our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, currently serves as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of Hennessy VI.

We believe potential sellers of target businesses will favorably view our management team’s credentialed experience of closing and advising on the completion or announcement of 13 business combinations with vehicles similar to our company in considering whether or not to enter into a business combination with us.

You should not rely on the historical record of our management’s performance as indicative of our future performance.

We believe our management team is well positioned to take advantage of the growing set of acquisition opportunities focused on industrial technology solutions and energy transition opportunities in the United States and internationally, to create value for our shareholders, and that our contacts and relationships, including owners of private and public companies, private equity funds, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and business brokers, will allow us to generate attractive acquisition opportunities. Our management team is led by Daniel J. Hennessy, who has over 30 years of experience in the private equity investment business and over 10 years of experience in the SPAC asset class.

Our directors and director nominees have extensive experience with acquisitions, divestitures and corporate strategy and possess relevant domain expertise in the sectors where we expect to source business combination targets including, but not limited to, industrial technology and energy transition. We believe their collective expertise, contacts and relationships make us a highly competitive
