7.As to each of the matters described in this section, please file the exhibit required by Item
601(b)(8) of Regulation S-K. Refer to Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19 for guidance on the
content and requirements for that exhibit. As one example only, it is insufficient to state
merely what the parties "intend" as it relates to the tax treatment. Instead, disclose clearly
the tax consequences. While it is permissible to disclose what the consequences "should"
be or that they are "more likely than not," additional disclosure regarding the reasons for
the uncertainty and risks should be included. Please revise.

number of shares that are assumed to be redeemed under the maximum redemption

2.9 million IPO shares acquired by Kingstown 1740 Fund, an affiliate of the Sponsor, and
why you assumed those shares will not be redeemed. Please also explain here, and in the
notes to the historical financial statements, why it appears Kingstown 1740 Fund waived
its redemption rights for only a portion of the IPO shares they acquired.

included in contract liabilities at the beginning of each period as required by ASC 606-10-
50-8.
General
26.We note the Series A preferred stock investment described throughout your document.
Please revise to clarify whether that series will remain outstanding after the transactions
described in your disclosure. In this regard, the chart on page 33 indicates preferred stock
will be outstanding, but your disclosure on page 223 states that no shares of preferred
stock will be outstanding.
27.It appears that underwriting fees remain constant and are not adjusted based on
redemptions. Revise your disclosure to disclose the effective underwriting fee on a
percentage basis for shares at each redemption level presented in your disclosure.
28.With a view toward disclosure, please tell us whether your sponsor is, is controlled by, or
has substantial ties with a non-U.S. person. Please also tell us whether anyone or any
entity associated with or otherwise involved in the transaction, is, is controlled by, or has
FirstName LastNameMichael Blitzer
Comapany NameInflection Point Acquisition Corp.

FirstName LastNameMichael Blitzer

Page 6
substantial ties with a non-U.S. person. If so, also include risk factor disclosure that
addresses how this fact could impact your ability to complete your initial business
combination. For instance, discuss the risk to investors that you may not be able to
complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company should the
transaction be subject to review by a U.S. government entity, such as the Committee on
Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited. Further,
disclose that the time necessary for government review of the transaction or a decision to
prohibit the transaction could prevent you from completing an initial business
combination and require you to liquidate. Disclose the consequences of liquidation to
investors, such as the losses of the investment opportunity in a target company, any price
appreciation in the combined company, and the warrants, which would expire worthless.
29.Please expand to identify the principal factors contributing to any inflationary pressures
the target company has experienced and clarify the resulting impact to it. Please revise to
identify actions planned or taken, if any, to mitigate inflationary pressures.
30.Please disclose whether you are subject to material cybersecurity risks in your supply
chain based on third-party products, software, or services used in your products, services,
or business and how a cybersecurity incident in your supply chain could impact your
business. Discuss the measures you have taken to mitigate these risks.
31.Please provide us with any correspondence between you and Citi relating to Citi's refusal
to serve as financial advisor and refusal to waive its deferred fee.
32.Please revise your disclosure to highlight for investors that Citi's refusal to serve as
financial advisor indicates that it does not want to be associated with the disclosure or
underlying business analysis related to the transaction. In addition, revise your disclosure
to caution investors that they should not place any reliance on the fact that Citi had been
previously involved with the SPAC.
33.Please discuss the potential impact on the transaction related to Citi's refusal to serve as
financial advisor. We note that Citi was an underwriter for the IPO of the SPAC. If Citi
would have played a role in the closing, please revise to identify the party who will be
filling Citi's role.
34.Please describe what relationship existed between Citi and the SPAC after the close of the
IPO, including any financial or merger-related advisory services conducted by Citi. For
example, clarify whether Citi had any role in the identification or evaluation of business
combination targets.
35.Tell us whether Citi was involved in the preparation of any disclosure that is included in
the Form S-4 registration statement, including any analysis underlying disclosure in the
registration statement. If so, clarify their involvement, whether they have retracted any
work product associated with the transaction, and the risk of such withdrawal and reliance
on their expertise. Further, if true, please clarify that Ci
