Questions and Answers About the Business Combination
Q. What equity stake will current Public Shareholders, the Sponsor, LAMF Insiders . . ., page 19
1.We note your revised disclosure throughout the filing that you have entered into a
Working Capital Promissory Note that may, at the lender's discretion, be converted upon
completion of the Business Combination into up to 120,000 units of the post-business

2.We note your disclosure that the Working Capital Promissory Note is repayable in full
upon the earlier of the date on which the Company consummates its initial business
combination or the date of the Company's liquidation. Please revise your disclosure to
clarify the expected source of funds to repay the note if the Company were to liquidate,

persons." Please revise to include disclosure stating whether these shareholders will
continue to be significant shareholders following the business combination, and if so,
please identify the significant shareholders.
Background of the Business Combination, page 132
4.We note your revised disclosure in response to comment 4, including that the financial
due diligence provided by Roth Capital provided the LAMF Board with a better
understanding of the financial performance and related valuation of companies in the
digital health industry throughout the course of their development, and helped the LAMF
Board contextualize Nuvo relative to a diverse set of digital health companies. Please
revise your filing to include the information required by Item 4(b) of Form F-4 and Item
1015(b) of Regulation M-A, including identifying the certain comparable digital health
companies identified by Roth and disclosing the metrics applicable to each one. In
addition, please disclose any compensation or fees paid to Roth Capital in connection with
its due diligence report. In this regard, Item 4(b) of Form F-4 requires that information
required by Item 1015(b) of Regulation M-A be provided with respect to a report, opinion,
or appraisal that is (i) materially related to the transaction and (ii) referred to in the
prospectus, and is not limited to the fairness or amount of consideration to be paid in
connection with the Business Combination. Alternatively, please provide a detailed legal
analysis as to why this financial due diligence is not materially related to the business
combination transaction.
5.We note your disclosure that the LAMF Board ascribed value to the Philips MPA with
respect to it serving as a validation of Nuvo's technology, and that the LAMF Board felt
comfortable advancing with a potential business combination with Nuvo given the
significant progress Nuvo made on its commercialization efforts and the Philips MPA.
Given the board's consideration of the Philips MPA in recommending the business

related to fetal surveillance procedures that "normally occur once or twice weekly in the

9.We note your revised disclosure in response to Comment 8 and reissue. Throughout the
registration statement, including those previously revised instances, when presenting
customer or key opinion leaders' testimonials, observations, or supporting statements,
please clarify the degree of impartiality or independence for the information. For example,
please clarify the identity of these customers or individuals, whether they were provided
any compensation or benefits in relation to your product, and whether references to these
testimonials may be found elsewhere. For reference, non-exhaustive list of examples
include:
•". . . our commercial customers have confirmed the applicability of various CPT
codes and structures for our services." (page 232)
•"These customers are adding new patients every week and we are seeing high
satisfaction scores from clinicians and expectant mothers." (page 232)

INVU platform is capable of providing substantially equivalent FHR and MHR
measurements. . . ." (pg. 233).

inappropriate for counsel to include in its opinion assumptions that are overly broad, that
"assume away" the relevant issue, or that assume any of the material facts underlying the
opinion or any readily ascertainable facts. We note that the legal opinion in Exhibit 5.2
contains the assumption that "each of LAMF and the Warrant Agent is validly existing,
has duly authorized, executed and delivered each of the Original Warrant Agreement, will
duly authorize, execute and deliver the Warrant Assumption Agreement and had and/or
has all requisite legal ability to do so," and that you "have also assumed that pursuant to
Israeli law, Holdco is validly existing, has the power to execute the Warrant Assumption
Agreement and will duly authorize, execute and deliver the Warrant Assumption
Agreement and has all requisite legal ability to do so." Please revise the opinion to
remove all such assumptions.
General
11.We note statements throughout your registration statement regarding the Company's
efficacy beliefs. For example, on page 247 the statement that "[w]e believe that the
efficacy claims of our INVU platform, while not specifically approved by the FDA or
similar regulatory authorities, are supported by the results of our clinical studies discussed
in more detail below" and on page 254, the statement that "[o]verall, we believe, based on
our clinical studies, that the INVU system has been found to be effective for the intended
users, uses, and use environments." As efficacy determinations are solely within the
authority of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, please revise these and all similar
statements throughout your disclosure to remove such implications. We do not object to
the disclosure of objective data obtained in your clinical studies.
