excise taxes. Please also include a risk factor that describes the potential material effect on

could reduce the trust account funds available to repay redemptions or that are available to
the combined company following a de-SPAC transaction. Also describe, if applicable, the
risk that if existing SPAC investors elect to redeem their shares such that the redemptions
would subject the SPAC to the stock buyback excise tax, the remaining shareholders that
did not elect to redeem may economically bear the impact of the excise tax.
