All references to page numbers and captions correspond to Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement, unless otherwise specified herein.

General

1. We note that EF Hutton and US Tiger Securities, Inc. were underwriters for the initial public offering of the SPAC, and EF Hutton has advised on the business combination transaction with selecting a target company. Please tell us, with a view to disclosure, whether you have received notice from either EF Hutton or US Tiger about it ceasing involvement in your transaction and how that may impact your deal or the deferred underwriting compensation owed to EF Hutton and US Tiger for the SPAC’s initial public offering.

Response: We respectfully advise the Staff that, as of the date hereof, we have not received any notice from EF Hutton or US Tiger, the underwriters in our initial public offering, about either of them ceasing involvement in our business combination transaction. Their involvement in our business combination transaction will not impact the amount of the deferred underwriting compensation contingent upon completion of our business combination transaction, which is 3.5% of the gross proceeds of our initial public offering consummated on June 21, 2022, or $3,421,250. Please see corresponding changes on pages xx, 59, 87, 149 and 156 of Amendment No. 1.

2. We note that the SPAC IPO underwriters performed additional services after the IPO and part of the IPO underwriting fee was deferred and conditioned on completion of a business combination. Please quantify the aggregate fees payable to the SPAC IPO underwriters that are contingent on completion of the business combination.

Response: We respectfully advise the Staff that US Tiger is our advisor in connection with our business combination and has agreed not to receive any additional compensation for such services. In addition, EF Hutton and US Tiger are entitled to receive $3,421,250 as deferred underwriting compensation contingent upon completion of our business combination. The underwriters are not entitled to any other fees payable by us. We have revised the disclosure on pages xx, 59, 87, 149 and 156 of Amendment No. 1 to further clarify that the deferred underwriting compensation is contingent on completion of our business combination.

3. We understand the sponsor will receive additional securities for the Class B Common Stock pursuant to an antidilution adjustment based on the company’s additional financing activities. Please quantify the number and value of securities the sponsor will receive. In addition, disclose the ownership percentages in the company before and after the additional financing to highlight dilution to public stockholders.

Response: We respectfully advise the Staff that the sponsor has waived its anti-dilution rights pursuant to Section 2 of the Parent Support Agreement, which has been filed as Exhibit 10.6 to the Registration Statement.

4. Please highlight the material risks to public warrant holders, including those arising from differences between private and public warrants. Clarify whether recent common stock trading prices exceed the threshold that would allow the company to redeem public warrants. Clearly explain the steps, if any, the company will take to notify all shareholders, including beneficial owners, regarding when the warrants become eligible for redemption.

Response: Pursuant to the Staff’s comment, we have included a detailed description of the warrants on page 217 of Amendment No. 1 to (i) clarify whether recent common stock trading prices have exceeded the threshold that would allow PubCo (as the successor of the Company) to redeem public warrants; (ii) to specify the differences between private and public warrants; and (iii) explain the steps PubCo will take to notify the warrant holders if PubCo management decides to call for redemption of warrants. We also (i) revised the risk factor titled “Once FLFV Warrants become exercisable, PubCo may redeem the unexpired FLFV Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your FLFV Warrants worthless.” on page 68 of Amendment No. 1 and (ii) included additional risk factors relating to the warrants on pages 69 and 70 of Amendment No. 1.
