Risk Factors
Risks Related to the Business of the Company
Future sales (including pursuant to this Prospectus), or the perception of future sales..., page 41
3.Please revise your risk factor to disclose the purchase price of the securities being
registered for resale and the percentage that these shares currently represent of the total
number of shares outstanding. Also disclose that whether the current trading price is
above the SPAC IPO price as it is as of the date of this prospectus, or even if it drops
below the SPAC IPO price, the private investors have an incentive to sell because they
will still profit on sales because of the lower price that they purchased their shares than the
public investors.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, page
82
4.Please expand your discussion here and in your summary to reflect the fact that this
offering involves the potential sale of a substantial portion of shares for resale and discuss
how such sales could impact the market price of the company’s common stock.
Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 87
5.We note you disclose in a Form 8-K filed on February 14, 2024 that following the Special
Meeting, a PIPE investor that subscribed for $125,000,000 informed the Company that it
would not be able to fund that subscribed amount. You further state in the Form 8-K that
the Company secured additional PIPE investments to replace $53,000,000 of the amount
previously committed by the PIPE investor and that you would continue to seek additional
investments to fund in connection with or shortly after the closing to provide additional
liquidity to the Company. In light of the significant number of redemptions and the
shortfall of the PIPE investment, expand your discussion of capital resources to address
any changes in the company's liquidity position since the business combination. If the
company is likely to have to seek additional capital, discuss the effect of this offering on
the company's ability to raise additional capital.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.
Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please allow adequate
time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of the registration
statement.
