4.Revise your disclosure to show the potential impact of redemptions on the per share value
of the shares owned by non-redeeming shareholders by including a sensitivity analysis
showing a range of redemption scenarios, including minimum, maximum and interim
redemption levels.
5.Quantify the value of warrants, based on recent trading prices, that may be retained by
redeeming shareholders assuming maximum redemptions and identify any material
resulting risks.
6.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.
7.Please provide the disclosure required in Item 18(a)(7)(ii) of Form F-4 which requires
disclosure of the information required by Item 6.B of Form 20-F.
8.We note your disclosure that you will sell additional securities in an amount that is at least
$20 million, and you do not expect PNAC's sponsors or affiliates to participate in the
transaction financing. Please update in a future filing, if PNAC's sponsors or affiliates do
participate in the transaction financing, to disclose the key terms of any convertible
securities and the potential impact of those securities on non-redeeming shareholders.
9.We note the statement "except as disclosed otherwise" in your document. Please revise to
include the exceptions in this section.
10.With a view toward disclosure, please tell us whether your sponsor is, is controlled by, or
has substantial ties with a non-U.S. person. Please also tell us whether anyone or any
entity associated with or otherwise involved in the transaction, is, is controlled by, or has
substantial ties with a non-U.S. person. If so, also include risk factor disclosure that
addresses how this fact could impact your ability to complete your initial business
combination. For instance, discuss the risk to investors that you may not be able to
complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company should the
transaction be subject to review by a U.S. government entity, such as the Committee on
Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited. Further,
disclose that the time necessary for government review of the transaction or a decision to
prohibit the transaction could prevent you from completing an initial business
combination and require you to liquidate. Disclose the consequences of liquidation to
investors, such as the losses of the investment opportunity in a target company, any price
appreciation in the combined company, and the warrants, which would expire worthless.
