Submitted October 2, 2024
CIK No. 0002029976
Dear Edward King:
We have reviewed your amended draft registration statement and have the following
comments.
Please respond to this letter by providing the requested information and either
submitting an amended draft registration statement or publicly filing your registration
statement on EDGAR. If you do not believe a comment applies to your facts and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your
response.
After reviewing the information you provide in response to this letter and your
amended draft registration statement or filed registration statement, we may have additional
comments. Unless we note otherwise, any references to prior comments are to comments in
our September 24, 2024 letter.
Amendment No. 1 to Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 submitted October 2, 2024
Summary, page 1
1.We note your response to prior comment 4, including your deletion of the reference to
the cashless exercise of the private placement warrants on page 8. Please further
revise the disclosures outside of the table to clarify that any private placement
warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis.
Appointment and removal of directors..., page 26
We note your response to prior comment 6 and reissue. Please expand your disclosure
here, and elsewhere as appropriate, including your risk factor on page 49, to also 2.

explain the number of public shares needed if a special resolution is required to
approve the initial business combination, including if you assume that only the
number of shares representing a quorum vote their shares.
Summary of Risk Factors, page 46
3.We note your response to prior comment 9 and partially reissue. Please expand your
disclosure to add a summary risk factor highlighting the risks related to the non-
managing sponsor investors' expression of interest, as you explain on page 84.
We may issue additional Class A ordinary shares or preference shares, page 65
4.We note your response to prior comment 10 and partially reissue. Please expand your
disclosures to clearly disclose the impact to you and investors, including that the
arrangements result in costs particular to the de-SPAC process that would not be
anticipated in a traditional IPO.
Risk Factors
Risks Relating to Our Management Team, page 80
5.We note your response to prior comment 12 and reissue. Please add risk factor
disclosure about risks that may arise from the sponsor having the ability to remove
itself as your sponsor before identifying a business combination, including through the
unconditional ability to transfer the founder shares or otherwise. Address the
consequences of such removal to the company's ability to consummate an
initial business combination, including that any replacement sponsor could have
difficulty finding a target.
Our Sponsor, page 114
6.We note your response to prior comment 15 and partially reissue. As applicable,
please explain whether or how the transfer restrictions disclosed on pages 117-
118 relate to the non-managing sponsor investors' expression of interest.
General
7.We note your response to prior comment 23 and reissue, because it remains unclear
whether the non-managing sponsor investor's membership interests are subject to any
transfer restrictions. For example, your revisions to disclosures on page 25 and
elsewhere continue to refer to "certain limited circumstances" in which transfers are
permitted but do not specify the circumstances or clarify the parties to which they
apply. In addition, your disclosure in the Principal Shareholders section under
"Restrictions on Transfers of Founder Shares and Private Placement Units" appears to
address only transfer restrictions applicable to (i) the founder shares and any Class A
ordinary shares issuable upon conversion and (ii) the private placement units
(including their component securities and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon
exercise of the private placement warrants), rather than the membership interests in
the sponsor.
