Dilution, page 222
19.Please revise to identify the Net Tangible Book Value amount as not being a Deficit. If
there is a Deficit, please properly identify the amounts as a negative. Please revise.
20.Please revise the title or line items in the tables on page 222 and 227 to title or describe
the adjusted amounts as the “net tangible book value per share, as adjusted” and not as a
“pro forma” measure, which could mislead investors since target company assets are not
included in the calculation. See footnote 291 of SEC Release No. 33-11265. An objective
of the dilution disclosure required by Item 1604(c) is to depict the amount of net assets
that the SPAC will contribute to the post-combination entity. In this regard, consider
revising your statement on your page 227 stating that the table shows the net tangible
book value after the Business Combination.
21.Please consider combining the Dilution Table on page 222 with your pro forma net
tangible book value table on page 227 to present the dilution calculation. The table must
show the nature and amounts of each source of dilution used to determine net tangible
book value per share, as adjusted; the number of shares used to determine net tangible
book value per share, as adjusted; and any adjustments to the number of shares used to
determine the per share component of net tangible book value per share, as adjusted. In
addition, the net tangible book value, unadjusted, (i.e., -2,569,901) should equal the net
assets of the SPAC that excludes the redeemable common stock classified as temporary
equity. Further, the Dilution Table or the pro forma net tangible book value table will
show the amount that is being reclassified from the trust account or temporary equity into
the permanent equity of the company in order to calculate the net tangible book value per
share, as adjusted.

22.On page 225, you provide that the information in the dilution table is “based on a number
of assumptions.” Outside of the table, please describe the assumptions in further detail
and describe any models, methods, estimates and parameters to understand the tabular
disclosure. Refer to Regulation S-K Item 1604(c)(2).
23.We note that the table does not include 75% and 100% redemption scenarios as they
would result in 25% or no funds left in the trust account. Please revise to disclose whether
these scenarios would likely result in a failure to satisfy the minimum cash condition of
the business combination agreement and an inability to proceed with the consummation of
the business combination.

RET's Management Team and Board, page 258
24.With respect to RET's current management team and board, please revise to disclose the

be read to state that Mr. Riley will not become the CEO of RET until after the business
