ors and officers, and their affiliates may purchase in such transactions, subject to compliance with applicable law. Additionally, at any time at or prior to our initial Business Combination, subject to applicable securities laws (including with
respect to material non-public information), our Sponsor, Initial Shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and 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 their Public Shares. However, other than as expressly stated herein, they
have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any
such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase Public Shares or Public Warrants in such transactions.
Such purchases may include a contractual acknowledgment that such shareholder, although still the record holder of our shares, is no
longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights.

In
the event that our Sponsor, directors and officers, and their affiliates purchase Public Shares in privately negotiated transactions
from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling Public Shareholders would be required
to revoke their prior elections to redeem their Public Shares. The purpose of any such purchases of shares could be to increase the amount
of cash at the closing of an initial Business Combination. The purpose of any such purchases of Public Warrants could be to reduce the
number of Public Warrants outstanding or to vote such Public Warrant on any matters submitted to the warrant holders for approval in
connection with an initial Business Combination. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of an initial Business
Combination that may not otherwise have been possible. We expect any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section
16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements.

In
addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of the Public Shares or Public Warrants and the number of beneficial
holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listing or trading of our
securities on a national securities exchange.

In
the event our Sponsor, Initial Shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates were to purchase public shares from Public
Shareholders, such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act including,
in pertinent part
