Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed December 9, 2024
Conflicts of Interest, page 33
1.We note your response to prior comment 5 and reissue. Please further revise to
describe conflicts of interest that may arise in the event that you seek to complete your
initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with your officers,
directors, insiders, or their affiliates, as referenced on page 13. See Item 1602(b)(7) of
Regulation S-K.

consummate an initial business combination, including that any replacement sponsor
or management could have difficulty finding a target.

3.Please revise the narrative disclosure preceding the table to disclose the percentage
of your public units that may be purchased by the non-managing HoldCo investors.
Exhibits
4.We refer to the investment management trust agreement filed as Exhibit 10.2. Please
revise for consistency with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. More specifically, we note that
the form trust account termination letter attached as Exhibit A states that "[o]n the
Consummation Date (i) counsel for the Company shall deliver to you written
notification that the Business Combination has been consummated, or will be
consummated substantially, concurrently with your transfer of funds . . . ." However,
Nasdaq Rule IM-5101-2(a) states that "[a]t least 90% of the gross proceeds from the
initial public offering . . . must be deposited in a trust account maintained by an
independent trustee . . . ." It is unclear how the release of funds earlier than the
consummation of the initial business combination would comport with this listing
standard.
General
5.Please revise, where appropriate, to describe the exclusive forum provision of each of
your amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and your rights
agreement, including to describe any risks or other impacts on investors and to
address uncertainty about enforceability.
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
statement.
Please contact Eric McPhee at 202-551-3693 or Mark Rakip at 202-551-3573 if you

other questions.
