. However, we do not expect these duties to present a significant conflict of interest with our search for an initial business combination. In addition to the above, our officers and directors are not required to commit any specific amount of time to our affairs, and accordingly will have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities, including identifying potential business combinations and monitoring the related due diligence. Business Strategy While we will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region, given the experience of our management team, our acquisition and value creation strategy will be to identify, acquire and build a company in one of seven broadly defined market areas: (i) marine technology, (ii) marine services, (iii) U.S.-focused marine businesses, (iv) marine distribution, (v) marine logistics, (vi) vessel technical managers, and (vii) data centers. The GPAC team has significant experience in maritime and technology investments and is thus advantageously positioned to execute on a transaction within them. 118

We will seek to work with a potential acquisition candidate to access the capital markets, retain and attract top tier management talent, and execute a proprietary value-creation business plan helping the company continue to grow into the next phase of its life cycle. We intend to employ a fundamental, value-oriented acquisition framework that seeks a target with the potential for significant equity value creation coupled with strong downside protection from dependable cash flows and a durable business franchise.

| ■ | Strategically investing in leading private and public maritime, logistics, and digital infrastructure companies to help accelerate growth and maturation; |

| ■ | Fostering relationships with sellers, capital providers and experienced target management teams; and |

| ■ | Building companies with resilient and flexible
