Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe a comment applies to your facts and circumstances
or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response.

Amendment No. 5 to Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed May 31, 2024
Q: What interests do Clover Leaf's Sponsor and current officers, directors and financial advisors
have in the Business Combination?, page xviii
1.We note your response to prior comment 2, as well as your revised disclosure that
"Maxim has agreed to a 25% reduction of its deferred underwriting commission upon the
closing of the Business Combination, despite Maxim having already completed its
underwriting services." However, here and throughout the prospectus, you continue to
disclose that the "IPO Underwriter is entitled to deferred underwriting fees in the amount
of $0.35 per Unit, or $4,840,930.50." Please revise to reconcile such inconsistencies and
clarify whether the outstanding fees owed to Maxim by Clover Leaf are $3,630,698 (if
true) or another amount, and ensure that your disclosure is consistent throughout the
prospectus/proxy statement.

2.We re-issue prior comment 1 with respect to our request that in each place where you
reference the listing of your securities on Nasdaq (e.g., pages 1 and 19), acknowledge that
your securities may be subject to suspension and delisting as a result of the hearing with
the Panel on May 7, 2024, if true. Also, on page 13, revise to acknowledge how quotation
on the over-the-counter market would impact holders of your common stock, including
any negative impact upon liquidity and quotation. In that instance, disclose how much
notice you will provide to holders of your securities and the manner in which you expect
to advise them.
