   1.                                                   We note your response
to comment 3 and reissue in part. Please refer to the second
                                                        paragraph and the
inclusion of additional disclosure providing the share purchase prices.
                                                        We note that in clause
(ii) you disclose a total of 15,817,934 shares of common stock,
                                                        broken down into
5,750,000 Founder Shares and 10,172,934 shares issued in the
                                                        Redemption Backstop and
the Forward Purchase Agreement. However, that would be a
                                                        total of 15,922,934
shares of common stock rather than 15,817,934 shares of common
                                                        stock, please revise to
clarify this discrepancy.
