Filed February 14, 2023
File No. 333-269095
Dear Gordon Roth:
We have reviewed your amended registration statement and have the following
comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we
may better understand your disclosure.
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your
response.
After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you
provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments. Unless we note
otherwise, our references to prior comments are to comments in our January 27, 2023 letter.
Form S-4/A filed February 14, 2023
General
1.We note your response to prior comment one, but disagree that Tigo Energy, Inc. ("Tigo")
is not a "covered person" under Rule 14e-5. Accordingly, please provide your analysis on
how the agreement for Tigo to purchase common stock and private placement units would
comply with Rule 14e-5.
2.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
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.
3.We note the use of the term "fully diluted" throughout the registration statement, although
the information presented does not reflect conversion of the convertible note or exercise of
certain warrants. Please revise the term appropriately, or alternatively revise the
information to reflect full dilution.
Risk Factors
There are risks to our public shareholders who are not affiliates of the Sponsors..., page 71
4.We note your response to prior comment 41 and re-issue it in part. Please revise your risk
factor disclosure to include a cross-reference to the discussion of the various interests
disclosed on pages 136-40, 220-22, and 288-92.
Management of ROCG
Executive Compensation, page 134
5.We note your response to prior comment 33. Please further revise your disclosure to
include compensation information for your directors, in addition to your executive
officers.
ROCG Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 144
6.The disclosure on page 144 appears to indicate that ROCG issued a convertible note in an
aggregate principal amount of $50 million on January 9, 2023; however, the disclosure on
page 248 states Tigo issued a convertible note in an aggregate principal amount of $50
million on January 9, 2023. Please revise your disclosure to address this apparent
discrepancy.
The Business Combination
Background of the Business Combination, page 200
7.We note your response to prior comment 23 that the references to forward purchase
agreements (e.g., on pages 16 and 207) are to "transactions that would constitute capital
raise transactions under the merger agreement and not transactions currently contemplated
by ROCG." Please provide your analysis demonstrating how such agreements comply
with Rule 14e-5.

experience with SPACs that have not yet completed a business combination.
