2.Please revise the conflicts of interest discussion so that it highlights all material interests
in the transaction held by the sponsor and the company’s officers and directors. This could

those conflicts in negotiating and recommending the business combination.

3.Please expand your disclosure regarding the Sponsor’s ownership interest in the target
company. Disclose the approximate dollar value of the interest based on the transaction
value and recent trading prices.
4.Your column header "Assuming 50% Redemptions" appears to suggest redemption of
50% of the total RFAC Class A Common Shares that are available for redemption, while
the description on page 16 indicates this column represents "50% of maximum
redemptions." Please revise this column header in the share ownership tables throughout
the prospectus to more clearly convey what this column is intended to represent.
Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, page 31
5.We note your disclosure on page 40 addressing the potential impact of redemptions on
non-redeeming shareholders, and the sources and extent of dilution that shareholders who
elect not to redeem their shares may experience in connection with the business
combination. Here and/or as applicable throughout the filing, please disclose the potential
impact on the per share value of the shares owned by non-redeeming shareholders by
including a sensitivity analysis for the range of redemption scenarios.
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information, page 101
6.As defined on page 7, Incentive Shares can be used as incentive in connection with non-
redemption or sources of Transaction Financings. Your pro forma financial statements
appear to assume that 2.0 million shares will be issued as incentive for shareholders not to
redeem their SPAC shares with an offsetting entry to share-based compensation. Please
tell us and revise your disclosures throughout to address the following:
•Explain how Incentive Shares, and the related pro forma adjustments, will be
impacted should you enter into a Transaction Financing prior to closing. For
example, assuming you enter into a Transaction Financing for the issuance of 2.0
million shares, clarify whether you will be able to also issue Incentive Shares
pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.
•Describe how Incentive Shares will be used to avoid further redemption. For
example, explain whether you intend to issue one Incentive Share (or a fraction

of such share) for every non-redeemed share and how you considered such terms in
the assumptions used under the Maximum Redemption Scenario.
•Clarify whether the number of shares redeemed under the Maximum Redemption
Scenario will change if you are able to complete a Transaction Financing and explain
how.
•Explain how the Business Combination will be impacted if more shareholders elect to
redeem their shares such that you are unable to meet the $25.0 million Minimum
Cash requirement.

of Operations, page 109

Scenario column or revise.
Note 4. Loss per Share, page 110
8.We note the 2.0 million Incentive Shares are included in the RFAC Initial SPAC
Management shares outstanding. As it appears such shares may be issued to SPAC public
shareholders as incentive for non-redemption or third-parties as part of a Transaction
Financing, please revise to reflect the Incentive Shares as a separate line item and include
a footnote explaining how the ultimate holder of such shares will be impacted. Similar
revisions should be made elsewhere throughout the prospectus where you present share
ownership tables.

month's sales report.

guaranteed royalty payment and/or minimum guaranteed development fees based on the
number of units of the game sold, marketing budget, localization, reporting process,

arrangements and the impact on your game publishing revenue recognition policy. Ensure
