Preliminary
Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A

General

 1. We
                                            note that you are seeking to extend your termination date to August 12, 2025, a date which
                                            is approximately 39 months from your initial public offering. We also note that you are currently
                                            listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and that Nasdaq Rule 5815 was amended effective October
                                            7, 2024 to provide for the immediate suspension and delisting upon issuance of a delisting
                                            determination letter for failure to meet the requirement in Nasdaq Rule IM 5101-2(b) to complete
                                            one or more business combinations within 36 months of the date of effectiveness of its IPO
                                            registration statement. Please revise to state that your securities will face immediate suspension
                                            and delisting action once you receive a delisting determination letter from Nasdaq after
                                            the 36-month window ends on May 9, 2025. Please disclose the risks of noncompliance with
                                            this rule, including that under the new framework, Nasdaq may only reverse the determination
                                            if it finds it made a factual error applying the applicable rule. In addition, please also
                                            disclose the consequences of any such suspension or delisting, including that your stock
                                            may be determined to be a penny stock and the consequences of that designation, that you
                                            may no longer be attractive as a merger partner if you are no longer listed on an exchange,
                                            any potential impact on your ability to complete an initial business combination, any impact
                                            on the market for your securities including demand and overall liquidity for your securities,
                                            and any impact on securities holders due to your securities no longer being considered “covered
                                            securities.”

    Response:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has included a risk factor on page 18 of the Amendment in response to the Staff’s
comment.
