ation — U.S. Holders — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.” If our initial business combination involves a company organized under the laws of the United States (or any subdivision thereof), it is possible a U.S. federal excise tax could be imposed on us in connection with any redemptions of our ordinary shares after or in connection with such initial business combination. The Inﬂation Reduction Act of 2022, which, among other things, generally imposes a 1% U.S. federal excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded U.S. corporations after December 31, 2022 (the “Excise Tax”), subject to certain exceptions. The Excise Tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its stockholders from which the stock is repurchased.

As a Cayman Islands exempted company, the Excise Tax is currently not expected to apply to redemptions of our ordinary shares with the funds in
