to:
•disclose that while the sponsor, private placement investors, PIPE investors, or other
selling securityholders may experience a positive rate of return based on the current
trading price, the public securityholders may not experience a similar rate of return
on the securities they purchased due to differences in the purchase prices and the
current trading price;
•disclose the potential profit the selling securityholders will earn based on the current
trading price; and
•include appropriate risk factor disclosure about these aforementioned subjects.
