 risk may become more acute as the Combination Period nears
March 3, 2026, which is the deadline for our completion of an initial Business Combination.

Certain
of our officers and directors will allocate their time to other businesses thereby causing conflicts of interest in their determination
as to how much time to devote to our affairs. This conflict of interest could have a negative impact on our ability to complete our initial
Business Combination.

Our
officers and directors are not required to commit their full time to our affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating
their time between our operations and our search for a Business Combination and their other businesses. We do not intend to have any
full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination. Our officers are not obligated to contribute any specific
number of hours per week to our affairs, and certain of our officers are engaged in other business endeavors for which they may be entitled
to substantial compensation. Our independent directors also serve as officers and board members for other entities. If our officers’
and directors’ other business affairs require them to devote substantial amounts of time to such affairs in excess of their current
commitment levels, it could limit their ability to devote time to our affairs which may have a negative impact on our ability to complete
our initial Business Combination.

Certain
of our officers and directors are now, and all of them may in the future become, affiliated with entities engaged in business activities
similar to those intended to be conducted by us and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular
business opportunity should be presented.

After
the IPO and until we consummate our initial Business Combination, we intend to engage in the business of identifying and combining with
one or more businesses. Our Initial Shareholders and officers and directors are, or may in the future become, affiliated with entities
(such as operating companies or investment vehicles) that are engaged in making and managing investments in a similar business.

Our
officers and directors also may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us and the other
entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties. As a result, they will have a duty to offer acquisition opportunities
to certain clients or other entities. Accordingly, our officers and directors may have conflicts of interest in determining to which
entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in our favor and a potential target
business may be presented to other entities prior to its
