 for our initial business combination. In particular, changes in the policies, regulations, rules, and the enforcement of laws of the PRC government may be adopted quickly with little advance notice. The Chinese government may also intervene or influence our search for a target business or the completion of an initial business combination at any time because our Sponsor and certain of our directors and officers have significant ties to China. This could significantly and negatively impact our search for a target business and/or the value of the securities we are registering for sale. Based on our understanding of the current PRC laws and regulations, our company is not required to obtain any prior permission from any PRC governmental authorities for this offering. Moreover, our officers and directors are not covered by any Chinese permissions requirements because our business is not conducted in China. Currently, our Sponsor and certain of our directors and officers have significant ties with China. Accordingly, as of the date of this prospectus, we have not applied or received any permission or approvals for this offering and our search for an initial business combination target company post offering. If applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and require us and/or our directors and officers to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future, Chinese regulatory agencies (a) may impose fines and penalties on our officers and directors and (b) may also take actions requiring our directors and officers, or making it advisable for our directors and officers, to terminate this offering before settlement and delivery of our units or delay our potential business combination and therefore, we may have to liquidate the funds held in the trust account (in which case our rights may be worthless). Any uncertainties and/or negative publicity regarding such an approval requirement could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our securities.

This could result in a material change in a PRC company’s business operations post business combination and/or the value of its securities. Additionally, governmental and regulatory interference could significantly limit or completely hinder a target company’s ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors post business combination and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

Statements by the Chinese government in 2021 have indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investments in China-based issuers. The PRC has proposed new rules
