 diverse added value to potential targets in growth disciplines, such as talent
recruiting, international expansion, capital formation, public offering preparation, and other topics that drive growth and expansion.
We have assembled a diverse Board of Directors with our potential future target in mind, with the expectation that such target may require
us for different types of advice and assistance during our tenure as their investor and Business Combination partner.

For
example, when Mr. Woo, our Chief Executive Officer and Director, led the acquisition of Acushnet Company in 2011, he oversaw the formation
of the board of directors and the management team, and the post-merger integration, which led to 2x growth in the value of the company
in four years. In addition, when Credian acquired WiseUXGlobal, Mr. Woo sourced talents to strengthen its management team, including
the Chief Executive Officer, which supported WiseUXGlobal to expand distribution channels and logistics centers every year since the
acquisition in 2017.

We
expect to remain involved in the post-merger entity and to collaborate with the target management team to strengthen the business’s
compounding growth. Our proven track record of delivering tangible value to portfolio companies includes recruiting senior leadership
talent, delivering M&A support, identifying and helping to execute international expansion, and providing business intelligence.

Our
Investment Criteria

We
believe our aforementioned geography and target sectors will thrive regardless of the business cycle. Within these sectors, we intend
to focus on late stage, public market ready companies that have the potential to scale globally in the near-term. We have identified
the following attributes and guidelines to evaluate prospective targets. We may decide, however, to enter into our initial Business Combination
with one or more target businesses that do not meet these criteria and guidelines, including the geographical location. We intend to
pursue an initial Business Combination with companies whose principal business operations are based in Asia (excluding China, Hong Kong
and Macau) and have the following characteristics:

    ●
    Differentiated
    Technology: We favor businesses that have a clear comparative advantage and deep competitive moats. Often innovation results
    in category creation or exposing consumer demand or use cases that were previously unrecognized. In other cases, technology and process
    improvements can lead to better, faster, more efficient, or more powerful results. The ability to continuously innovate is key to
    successful product development, growth, profitability, and continual extension of the competitive moat.
