Schedule TO-I filed April 1, 2024

Questions and Answers about the Offer, page 2

1. Please disclose the sponsor and its affiliates’ total potential ownership interest in the combined company, assuming exercise and conversion of all securities. This should also address the anti-dilutive provision, referenced on page 36. Please quantify the number and value of securities the sponsor will receive. In addition, disclose the ownership percentages in the company before and after the additional financing to highlight dilution to public stockholders. Please provide disclosure assuming varying level of redemptions by the public shareholders.

The Company further advises the Staff, and has amended the disclosure on page 36 to clarify that the Sponsor will not receive additional securities pursuant to the referenced anti-dilution adjustment in connection with the Transaction.

2. Please revise your disclosure to show the potential impact of redemptions on the per share value of the shares owned by non-redeeming shareholders by including a sensitivity analysis showing a range of redemption scenarios, including minimum, maximum and interim redemption levels.

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and in response thereto has amended the disclosure under the heading “Risk Factors—The other transactions that are expected to occur in connection with or subsequent to the Transaction taken together, including the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock concurrently with the Transaction, the potential exercise of the outstanding warrants and the issuance of additional Common Stock as a result thereof, or from future public or private offerings, and the automatic conversion of the outstanding founder shares, will result in substantial dilution and could have an adverse effect on the market prices of CONX’s securities” on page 18.

3. Please disclose all possible sources and the extent of dilution that shareholders who elect not to redeem their shares may experience in connection with the transaction. Provide disclosure of the impact of each significant source of dilution, including the amount of equity held by founders, convertible securities, including warrants retained by redeeming shareholders, at each of the redemption levels detailed in your sensitivity analysis, including any needed assumptions.

Please revise the disclosure regarding compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements in this section and throughout to clearly reflect the current lack of compliance with the listing standards, the listing standards that have or may result in non-compliance, and whether you would be able to extend the listing beyond April 29, 2024. In addition, please clarify the “certain conditions” to maintaining the listing through April 29, 2024. Lastly, clarify whether you expect to meet the listing standards post asset acquisition, as it does not appear that this transaction will lead toward your compliance with this listing standard.

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and in response thereto has amended the following disclosures in response thereto:

· the disclosures under the heading “What if the conditions to the Offer are not satisfied?” on page 3;

· the disclosures under the heading “Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions” on page 26;

· the risk factor entitled “Certain of our directors and officers have potential conflicts of interest in the consummation of the Transaction and the transactions contemplated by the Seller Lease Agreement, which may incentivize them to complete a business combination on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than to liquidate our company” on page 14; and

· the section entitled “The Transaction – Interests of Certain Persons in the Transaction” on page 51.

8. We note that the directors may continue with the company post-Transaction. The disclosure on page 41 reflects that all executive officers and directors will remain following closing of the Transaction.

Please discuss any compensation or consulting arrangements or agreements to be entered into post transaction and quantify these interests, if known.

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and in response thereto has amended the disclosure under the heading “Executive Officers and Directors” on page 41.

Is there a limit on the total number of shares...?, page 11

11. We note your disclosure on pages 11 and F-9 and Section 9.2(a) of your Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation that the company is not able to redeem shares if such redemption would cause the net tangible assets to fall below $5,000,001. However, on page 12 and elsewhere, you assume that all of the shares are redeemed and that the value of the trust will be $0. Please reconcile such disclosures.

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and respectfully advises the Staff that although the balance of the Trust Account will be reduced to $0 under the maximum redemption scenario, the net tangible assets of the post-Transaction Company will remain above $5,000,001 due to the cash proceeds the Company will receive upon the concurrent closing of the Equity Forward Transaction, which will be regarded as assets on the Company’s balance sheet. The Company has amended the risk factor entitled “If certain conditions are not met, we may terminate or extend the Offer” on page 12 in response to the Staff’s comment.

Risk Factors, page 12

12. We note the statement on page 12 that “you should consider carefully all of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024, and in the other reports we file with the SEC before making a decision whether to tender your shares in the Offer.” We note that you are only specifically incorporating by reference to the Form 10-K for the financial statements in Item 10 of Schedule TO. Please revise to incorporate by reference the risk factors section from the relevant reports or remove such statement.

 11. We note your disclosure on pages 11 and F-9 and Section 9.2(a) of
                                            your Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation that the company is not able to redeem
                                            shares if such redemption would cause the net tangible assets to fall below $5,000,001. However,
                                            on page 12 and elsewhere, you assume that all of the shares are redeemed and that the
                                            value of the trust will be $0. Please reconcile such disclosures.

Response:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and respectfully advises the Staff that although the balance of the Trust Account
will be reduced to $0 under the maximum redemption scenario, the net tangible assets of the post-Transaction Company will remain above
$5,000,001 due to the cash proceeds the Company will receive upon the concurrent closing of the Equity Forward Transaction, which will
be regarded as assets on the Company’s balance sheet. The Company has amended the risk factor entitled “If certain conditions
are not met, we may terminate or extend the Offer” on page 12 in response to the Staff’s comment.
