 likelihood of a CFIUS or similar review.

If our business combination
with a U.S. business is subject to CFIUS review, we may determine that we are required to make a mandatory filing or that we will submit
a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or
after the closing of our initial business combination. CFIUS may decide to block or delay our business combination, impose conditions
to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such business combination or order us to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business
of the combined company without first obtaining CFIUS clearance. As a result, we may exclude companies in certain industries from consideration
as potential business combination partners, and companies in those industries may not view us as an attractive business combination partner,
reducing the pool of potential targets companies, and reducing the likelihood that we complete a business combination. We may be adversely
affected in terms of competing with other blank check companies or investment partners that do not have similar foreign ownership issues.

Moreover, the process of government

If the review process extends beyond such timeframe or our business combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or another U.S. government
entity, we may be required to liquidate our company. In such circumstances, our warrants and rights will expired worthless.

Our management may not be able to maintain
control of a target business after our initial business combination. We cannot provide assurance that, upon loss of control of a target
business, new management will possess the skills, qualifications or abilities necessary to profitably operate such business.

We may structure our initial
business combination so that the post-transaction company in which our public stockholders will own less than 100% of the equity
interests or assets of a target business, but we will complete such business combination only if the post-transaction company owns
or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in
the target business sufficient for us not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. We will
not consider any transaction that
