 set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act with a maturity of 185 days or less, (2) any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by us meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, or (3) as cash or cash items (including in demand deposit accounts) at a bank as determined by us, until the earlier of: (a) the completion of a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses and (b) the distribution of the trust account, as described below.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure our shareholders that our plans to complete an initial business combination will be successful.

We may seek to extend the completion window consistent with applicable laws, regulations and
