 the facts and circumstances that are relevant to making a determination as to whether a special purpose acquisition company meets the definition of an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. These SPAC Rules may materially adversely affect SPAC’s ability to consummate the Business Combination, its activities prior to the consummation thereof, and may increase the costs and time related thereto.

In the adoption of the SPAC Rules, the SEC affirmatively chose not to adopt a quantitative, bright-line safe harbor that would provide certainty as to when a special purpose acquisition company’s pre-business combination activities would not result in the special purpose acquisition companies being treated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Instead, the SEC staff expressed its views regarding a five-factor qualitative test, known as the Tonopah factors, to be applied to the facts and circumstances of any special purpose acquisition company’s activities to determine whether or not the special purpose acquisition company is acting as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. Consequently, there remains uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to any particular special purpose acquisition company, as the interpretation and application of the Tonopah factors are subjective in nature. It is possible that a claim could be made that SPAC has been operating an unregistered investment company. This risk may be increased if SPAC continues to hold the funds in the Trust Account in short-term U.S. government treasury obligations or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, rather than instructing the trustee to liquidate the securities in the Trust Account and hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash.

If we are deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we would be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities would be severely restricted. As a result, in such circumstances, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we would expect to abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead to liquidate the Company. To mitigate the risk of being deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we have instructed Continental to liquidate the securities held in the trust account and instead hold all funds in the trust account in a bank deposit account.

As described further above, the SPAC Rules relate, among other matters, to the circumstances in which special purpose acquisition companies such as the Company could potentially be subject to the Investment Company Act and the regulations thereunder. To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an
