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.

In addition, our management team and sponsor are, and/or may in the future become affiliated with other SPACs or other entities that may have acquisition objectives that are similar to ours. Such entities may compete with us for acquisition opportunities. If such entity decides to pursue any such opportunity, we may be precluded from pursuing such opportunities.
