 competitors. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of certain target businesses including the ability to negotiate more attractive acquisition terms. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to our Search for, Consummation of, or Inability to Consummate, a Business Combination and Post -BusinessCombination Risks — Because of our limited resources and the significant competition for business combination opportunities, it may be more difficult for us to complete our initial business combination. If we have not completed our initial business combination within the required time period, our public shareholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share, including interest, or less in certain circumstances, on our redemption of their shares, and our rights will expire worthless.” We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with either of GSR Sponsor, our directors or officers, or the sponsor members, or making the acquisition through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with either of GSR Sponsor, our directors or officers, or the sponsor members. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with such a company, we, or a committee of independent and disinterested directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or from an independent accounting firm that such an initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view.

In light of the involvement of GSR Sponsor and our officers and directors with other entities, we may decide to acquire one or more businesses affiliated with or competitive with GSR Sponsor, officers, directors and their respective affiliates or existing holders. GSR Sponsor and our officers and directors are not currently aware of any specific opportunities for us to complete our initial business combination with any entities with which they are affiliated, and there have been no substantive discussions concerning a business combination with any such entity or entities. Although we will not be specifically focusing on, or targeting, any transaction with any affiliated entities, we 13 would pursue such a transaction if we determined that such affiliated entity met our criteria for a business combination as set forth in “Business — Selection
