3.In the paragraph where you disclose conflicts of interest, please provide a cross reference,
highlighted by prominent type or in another manner, to the locations of related disclosures
in the prospectus, as required by Item 1602(a)(5) of Regulation S-K.
4.We note your disclosure that 100% of the units, including the overallotment may be sold
to non-managing sponsor investors. Please disclose whether there is a cap on the amount
that each investor may purchase. Please disclose that the non-managing sponsor
investors will have the potential to realize enhanced economic returns from their

trading volume, volatility and liquidity. Additionally, please clarify all impacts of these
sales on public investors and please tell us whether the limited number of public investors
could impact the company’s listing eligibility. Please provide appropriate risk factor
disclosure, including the potential conflicts of interest with the non-managing sponsor
investors in approving your business combination and otherwise exercising their rights as

6.Where you discuss the non-managing sponsor investors' expression of interest, please
revise to clarify whether their potential purchase of units in the offering is conditioned on

managing sponsor investors will potentially have different interests than your other public
shareholders in approving your initial business combination and otherwise exercising their
rights as public shareholders because of their indirect ownership of founder shares.
7.When discussing the class B ordinary shares, please revise to clarify that the class B
ordinary shares will have the right to vote on the appointment or removal of directors.
