You disclose in Note 1 that you have elected to immediately recognize the changes in the redemption value of your Class A ordinary share subject to possible redemption in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99. Please tell us how you reflected this recognition of changes in redemption value in the allocation of net income to calculate your basic and diluted net income per share. Refer to ASC 260-10-45-59A and 45-60B.

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the economic rights and obligations are applied equally to both the Class A and Class B ordinary shares. As a result, the changes in the redemption value of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are allocated between Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the periods presented. For the year ended December 31, 2023, there are 20,693,851 weighted average Class A ordinary shares and 8,625,000 weighted average Class B ordinary shares outstanding, respectively, representing approximately 71% and 29% of the total common shares outstanding, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2022, there are 34,500,000 weighted average Class A ordinary shares and 8,625,000 weighted average Class B ordinary shares outstanding, respectively, representing approximately 80% and 20% of the total common shares outstanding, respectively. The percentages were used for the allocation of redemption value in each period. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
