1.We note your disclosure regarding a possible share dividend to maintain the sponsor's
ownership of founder shares at 25% of issued and outstanding shares upon completion
of the offering in the event that you increase the size of the offering. Please also
disclose whether the share dividend or similar mechanism may result in material
dilution of purchasers' equity interests.
We note the disclosure made in response to prior comment 5, including that you may
seek shareholder approval to amend your charter to extend the deadline to complete a
business combination if you anticipate that you may be unable to do so within the
"applicable deadline." Since the sponsor may initiate two three-month extensions for a
total of 24 months, please clarify whether extensions by charter amendment could be
used to extend the deadline to more than 24 months, and if so, whether there is any
limitation on the duration of such extensions. Please also clarify whether any 2.

Dilution, page 93
4.We have reviewed your response to comment 17, that you have revised the narrative
disclosure of the “Dilution” section to include other sources of future dilution, but it
does not appear that any revisions relating to sources of future dilution were made.
Please expand your narrative disclosure to describe each material potential source of
future dilution. Your revisions should address, but not be limited to, founder shares
anti-dilution rights, shares or other securities that may be issued in connection with
the closing of your initial business combination (including specifically discussing that
you intend to target a business that has an enterprise value of up to $50 million) or
with future financing transactions, such as a PIPE transaction, and sponsor loans that
may be convertible into equity. Reference is made to Item 1602(c) of Regulation S-K.

5.We note your supplemental response to prior comment 22 in which you state that
there are currently no circumstances or arrangements under which the sponsor could
indirectly transfer ownership interest of your securities through a transfer of sponsor
membership interests. Please revise your disclosure to clarify whether there are any
circumstances or arrangements that would prevent an indirect transfer of SPAC
securities through a transfer of sponsor membership interests. If there is no prohibition
or limitation on transfers of sponsor membership interests, then it follows that these
interests and the underlying indirect interest in founder shares or other securities of
the SPAC could be transferred in the future at the discretion of the member. If so,
please disclose this and also clarify and include risk factor disclosure that control of
the sponsor could change or that the sponsor could withdraw or be removed as
sponsor prior to the completion of a business combination transaction.
Underwriting, page 187
6.Please revise your underwriter's compensation section to include the representative
shares in the table. Please refer to Item 508(e) of Regulation S-K.
