3.We note your response to prior comment 5. Please revise to describe the extent to which
the exercise of the private warrants on a cashless basis may result in a material dilution of
the purchasers' equity interests. See Item 1602(b)(6) of Regulation S-K.
Permitted Purchases and other transactions with respect to our securities, page 36
4.We note the disclosure in this section that in the event your sponsor, initial shareholders,
directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates were to purchase shares from public
shareholders that your registration statement/proxy statement filed for your business
combination transaction would include a representation that any of your securities
purchased by your sponsor, initial shareholders, directors, officers, advisors or their
affiliates would not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction.
Please reconcile with the disclosure in Clause 3 of the letter agreement entered into with
the sponsor, officers and directors, whereby they agreed to vote any founder shares and
private placement shares held by them and any public shares purchased in favor of our
initial business combination.
