price, the prices that the Sponsor, private placement investors, PIPE investors and other
selling securityholders acquired their shares and warrants, and the price that the public
securityholders acquired their shares and warrants. Please also disclose the potential profit
the selling securityholders will earn based on the current trading price. We note you
disclose that certain selling securityholders may receive up to approximately $14.8 million
in the aggregate from sales of their shares, please revise to also address all other selling
securityholders as well. Lastly, please include appropriate risk factor disclosure.
Risk Factors, page 7
4.Include an additional risk factor highlighting the negative pressure potential sales of
shares pursuant to this registration statement could have on the public trading price of the

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview, page 66
5.In light of the significant number of redemptions and the unlikelihood that the company
will receive significant proceeds from exercises of the warrants because of the disparity
between the exercise price of the warrants and the current trading price of the common
stock, 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.
6.Please expand your discussion here 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.
7.We note that your forward purchase agreement provides an investor with the right to sell
back shares to the company at a fixed price three years after the closing date of the
business combination. Please revise to discuss the risks that this agreement may pose to
other holders if you are required to buy back the shares of your common stock as
described therein, in which case the investor would keep the prepayment amount. We also
note that the investor is entitled to certain consideration at the end of the three-year term.
Discuss how such forced purchases and this other required consideration would impact the
cash you have available for other purposes and to execute your business strategy.
