We note the disclosure in the third paragraph that public shareholders will have

deposit in the trust account ... including interest earned thereon (net of amounts
withdrawn or eligible to be withdrawn to fund our regulatory compliance

applicable law." Please advise how such provision is consistent with Nasdaq Rule IM-
5101-2(d), which says "public Shareholders voting against a business combination
must have the right to convert their shares of common stock into a pro rata share of
the aggregate amount then in the deposit account (net of taxes payable and amounts
distributed to management for working capital purposes)."
2.We note your disclosure on page 27 that you if increase or decrease the size of this
offering you will effect a share capitalization or a share surrender or redemption or
other appropriate mechanism, as applicable, with respect to our Class B ordinary
shares immediately prior to the consummation of this offering in such amount as to
maintain the ownership of your initial shareholders, on an as-converted basis, at
20.00% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Please disclose on the cover
page and in narrative and tabular form on pages 15 and 140, in the discussions of
securities that may become issuable to the sponsor and whether, and the extent to
which, these securities issuances may result in a material dilution of the purchaser’s
equity interests. Please refer to Items 1602(a)(3) and 1602(b)(6) of Regulation S-K.
3.Please disclose the repayment of up to $600,000 in loans to cover offering-related and
organizational expenses disclosed on page 14, as required by Item 1602(a)(3) of
Regulation S-K.

4.We note the disclosure on page 19 that in order to facilitate your initial business
combination or for any other reason determined by your sponsor, your sponsor may
surrender or forfeit, transfer or exchange your founder shares, private placement
shares or any of your other securities, including for no consideration, as well as
subject any such securities to earn-outs or other restrictions, or otherwise amend the
terms of any such securities or enter into any other arrangements with respect to any
such securities. Please add risk factor disclosure about risks that may arise from the
sponsor having the ability to remove itself as your sponsor before identifying a
business combination, including through the unconditional ability to transfer the
founder shares or otherwise.

us how you determined your accounting and the literature relied upon.
