Dear John Lipman:
We have reviewed your filing and have the following comment(s).
Please respond to this letter within ten business days by providing the requested
information or advise us as soon as possible when you will respond. If you do not believe a
comment applies to your facts and circumstances, please tell us why in your response.
After reviewing your response to this letter, we may have additional comments.
Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A
General
1.We note that you are seeking to extend your termination date to June 4, 2025, a date
which is 42 months from your initial public offering. We also note your risk factor
disclosing that Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2(b) requires that you complete a
business combination no later than 36 months after your initial public offering, and
your disclosure that your securities will face an immediate suspension and delisting
action once you receive a delisting determination letter from Nasdaq after the 36-
month window ends on November 30, 2024. In addition, we note your disclosure
regarding certain consequences of any such suspension and delisting, including that
your stock may be determined to be a penny stock. Please disclose the consequences
of any such designation of your stock as a penny stock, and disclose
additional consequences of any such suspension or delisting, including that you may
no longer be attractive as a merger partner if you are no longer listed on an exchange,
and any potential impact on your ability to complete an initial business combination.

2.We note your disclosures throughout the proxy statement that upon the closing of
the business combination, subject to approval by your stockholders and other
customary closing conditions, the combined company is expected to list on The
Nasdaq Stock Market. Please revise your disclosure throughout your filing to clarify,
as you do in your risk factor set forth under the caption "Nasdaq Rule 5815 was
amended effective October 7, 2024...," that the Extension Proposal would allow you
to complete a business combination after November 30, 2024, which is beyond the
time-frame permitted by Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2(b) and which means you
would not be listed at the time you close a business combination.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence
of action by the staff.
Please contact Claudia Rios at 202-551-8770 or Laura Nicholson at 202-551-3584
with any questions.
Sincerely,
Division of Corporation Finance
