Registration Statement on Form S-1
Cover Page
1.We note your disclosure that certain institutional investors, which you refer to as "non-
managing investors," have expressed an interest to purchase up to approximately 99% of
the units in this offering at the offering price. Please revise to disclose the potential
material impact of these purchases on the public investors. Additionally, please tell us
whether the potential limited number of public investors would impact your eligibility to
list your securities on Nasdaq, clarify the number of non-managing sponsor investors who
have expressed an interest in purchasing securities, and to the extent material, identify
such investors. In addition, you also state that certain of these non-managing investors
have committed to purchase shares from you in a private placement and you define "non-
managing investors" on page 1 to refer to holders of your private placement shares prior
to the offering. Please revise to clarify.

Summary, page 1
2.We note that your risk factor disclosure exceeds 15 pages in length. Please include in the
forepart of the prospectus a series of concise, bulleted or numbered statements
summarizing the principal factors that make an investment in the registrant or offering
speculative or risky. Please refer to Item 105 of Regulation S-K.
3.We note that you disclose that your management has sponsored other special purpose
acquisition companies. Please revise to add balancing disclosures, including the high level
of competition you may face in pursuing business combination transaction candidates,
which may negatively impact the acquisition terms you are able to negotiate. Revise to
add the current post-combination companies' ticker symbols. For example, we noted that
UpHealth, Inc. and Lightning eMotors appear to be currently trading on OTC Pink.
Risk Factors, page 38
4.Please revise to add a risk factor discussing the risks arising from the reduced public float
because non-managing investors may purchase up to an aggregate of approximately 99%
of the units in this offering.
5.Please include a risk factor that describes the potential material effect on your
shareholders of the stock buyback excise tax enacted as part of the Inflation Reduction
Act in August 2022. If applicable, include in your disclosure that the excise tax could
reduce the trust account funds available to pay redemptions or that are available to the
combined company following a de-SPAC. Describe the risks of the excise tax applying to
redemptions in connection with:
• liquidations that are not implemented to fall within the meaning of “complete
liquidation” in Section 331 of the Internal Revenue Code,
• extensions, depending on the timing of the extension relative to when the SPAC
completes a de-SPAC or liquidates, and
• de-SPACs, depending on the structure of the de-SPAC transaction.
Also describe, if applicable, the risk that if existing SPAC investors elect to redeem their
shares such that their redemptions would subject the SPAC to the stock buyback excise
tax, the remaining shareholders that did not elect to redeem may economically bear the
impact of the excise tax.
If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination. . ., page 38
6.Please expand your disclosures to also discuss the large number of shares that may be
owned by the non-managing investors and associated risks regarding their potential votes.
If we are deemed to be an investment company..., page 47
7.We note your disclosure regarding the consequences to you if you were deemed to be an
investment company under the Investment Company Act. Please expand this disclosure to
clarify that your warrants would expire worthless if you have to wind down your
operations as a result of this status. Similarly, on page 63, please expand the risk factor
"We may not be able to complete a business combination with certain potential target
companies ..." to address that your warrants would expire worthless if you are required to
liquidate.

8.Your disclosures, including on page 151 and in the risk factors, state that your board
is classified. You also have disclosures, including on page 87, indicating that your entire
board will be elected each year. Please revise to reconcile your disclosures, and if you will
have a classified board, revise this section to indicate to which class each director belongs.
Signatures, page II-5
9.Your disclosures indicate that your director nominees will become directors at
effectiveness. Please revise your signature page to include the signatures of at least a
majority of your board of directors, or advise.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.
Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please allow adequate
time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of the registration
