MODEL CODE OF ETHICS

1.    Introduction

The Board of Directors of Ardent Acquisition Corporation has adopted this code of ethics (the Code), which is applicable to all directors, officers and employees,to:

- promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
- promote the full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the SEC, as well as in other public
communications made by or on behalf of the Company;
- promote compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
- deter wrongdoing; and
- require prompt internal reporting of breaches of, and accountability for adherence to, this Code.

This Code may be amended only by resolution of the Companys Board of Directors. In this Code, references to the Company means Ardent Acquisition Corporation (the Parent) and, in appropriate context,
the Parents subsidiaries.

2.    Honest, Ethical and Fair Conduct

Each person owes a duty to the Company to act with integrity. Integrity requires, among other things, being honest, fair and candid. Deceit, dishonesty and subordination of principle are inconsistent with integrity. Service to the
Company never should be subordinated to personal gain and advantage.

Each person must:

- Act with integrity, including being honest and candid while still maintaining the confidentiality of the Companys information where required or in the Companys interests.
- Observe all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations.
- Comply with the requirements of applicable accounting and auditing standards, as well as Company policies, in the maintenance of a high standard of accuracy and completeness in
the Companys financial records and other business-related information and data.
- Adhere to a high standard of business ethics and not seek competitive advantage through unlawful or unethical business practices.
