Amendment No. 3 to Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed September 29, 2023

Opinion of Dune’s Financial Advisor

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis, page 115

1. We note your statement that “The 2023 – 2032 forecast was one of multiple financial analyses used by Newbridge in connection with its opinion based on guidance from Global Hydrogen.” Please expand on this statement to explain the other financial analyses Newbridge used in connection with its opinion. Please note if the other financial analyses are disclosed in the proxy statement. To the extent the financial analyses are not disclosed, please explain why you believe they are not required to be disclosed.

RESPONSE:

Upon further consideration, in response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has deleted such statement in the Fourth Amended Proxy Statement. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the comparable public company analysis disclosed in “The Business Combination Proposal — Opinion of Dune’s Financial Advisor — Comparable Public Company Analysis” beginning on page 112 of the Fourth Amended Proxy Statement and the DCF Analysis disclosed in “The Business Combination Proposal — Opinion of Dune’s Financial Advisor — Discounted Cash Flow Analysis” beginning on page 113 of the Fourth Amended Proxy Statement were the only two financial analyses that Newbridge used in connection with rendering its fairness opinion to the Dune Board of Directors. The Company has revised the Third Amended Proxy Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. Please see pages 66, 112, 114 and 115 of the Fourth Amended Proxy Statement.
