Unlike many other blank cheek companies in which the initial stockholder agrees to vote its founder shares in
accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public stockholders in connection with an initial business
combination, our initial stockholder has agreed to vote its founder shares, as well as any public shares purchased
during or after this offering, in favor of our initial business combination. Our initial stockholder will own 20.0%
of our outstanding shares of common stock immediately following the completion of this offering (assuming it
does not purchase any units in this offering). In addition, our officers, directors and director nominees have also
agreed to vote any public shares purchased during or after the offering in favor of our initial business
combination. Accordingly, if we sock stockholder approval of our

initial business combination, it is more likely that the necessary stockholder approval will be received than would
be the case if our initial stockholder and our officers, directors and director nominees agreed to vote their founder
shares and public shares, as applicable. in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by our public
stockholders.
Your only opportunity to affect the investment decision regarding a potential business combination will be
limited to the exercise of your right to redeem your shares from us for cash, unless we seek stockholder
approval of the business combination.
At the time of your investment in ua you will not be provide) with an opportunity to evaluate the specific
merits or risks of one or more target businesses. Since our board of directors may complete a business
combination without seeking stockholder approval, public stockholders may not have the right or opportunity to
vote on the business combination, unless we seek such stockholder vote. Accordingly, your only opportunity to
affect the investment decision regarding a potential business combination may be limited to exercising your
redemption rights within the period of time (which will be at least 20 business days) set forth in our tender offer
documents mailed to our public stockholders in which we describe our initial business combination.
The ability of our public stockholders to redeem their shares for cash may make our financial condition
unattractive to potential business combination targets, which may make it difficult for us to enter into a
business combination with a target.
We may seek to enter into a business combination transaction agreement with a prospective target that
requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. If too many public
stockholders exercise their redemption rights, we would not be able to meet such closing condition and, as a
result, would not be able to proceed with the business combination. Furthermore, in no event will we redeem our
public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 (so that we are not
subject to the SEC's "penny stock" rules) or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which may be
contained in the agseeittent relating to our initial business combination. Consequently, if accepting all properly
submitted redemption requests would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5.000.001 or such greater
amount necessary to satisfy a closing condition as described above, we would not proceed with such redemption
and the related business combination and may instead search for an alternate business combination. Prospective
targets will be aware of these risks and, thus. may be reluctant to enter into a business combination transaction
with us.
The ability of our public stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our
shares may not allow us to complete the most desirable business combination or optimize our capital
structure.
At the time we enter into an agreement for our initial business combination, we will not know how many
stockholders may exercise their redemption rights, and therefore will need to structure the transaction based on
our expectations as to the number of shares that will be submitted for redemption. If our business combination
agreement requires us to use a portion of the cash in the trust account to pay the purchase price. or requires us to
have a minimum amount of cash at closing, we will need to reserve a portion of the cash in the trust account to
meet such requirements. or arrange for third party financing. In addition. if a larger number of shares are
submitted for redemption than we initially expected, we may need to restructure the transaction to reserve a
greater portion of the cash in the trust account or arrange for third party financing. Raising additional third party
financing may involve dilutive equity issuances or the incurrence of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels.
The above considerations may limit our ability to complete the most desirable business combination available to
us or optimize our capital structure.

The ability of our public stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our
shares could increase the probability that our initial business combination would be unsuccessful and that
you would have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem your stock.
