Form S-4 filed July 19, 2024 General We note inconsistencies of the current amount of BurTech Class A common stock and Class B common stock currently owned and outstanding throughout the registration statement. For example, disclosure on the cover page indicates that the Sponsor currently holds 9,487,500 shares of BurTech Class A Common Stock, but disclosure on page 29 indicates the Sponsor holds 10,385,750 shares of BurTech Class A Common Stock; additionally, disclosure on page 12 indicates 15,162,663 shares of BurTech Class A Common Stock outstanding and no shares of BurTech Class B Common Stock 1.

Also revise your filing to include risk factor disclosure that addresses how this fact could impact your ability to complete your initial business combination. For instance, discuss the risk to investors that you may not be able to complete an initial business combination with a target company should the transaction be subject to review by a U.S. government entity, such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited. Further, disclose that the time necessary for government review of the transaction or a decision to prohibit the transaction could prevent you from completing an initial business combination and require you to liquidate.
