Registration Statement on Form S-1 Cover Page 1. Please disclose whether there are any limitations to your redemptions. Refer to Item 1602(a)(2) of Regulation S-K. 2. Where you disclose the amount of compensation received or to be received by the sponsor, its affiliates, and promoters, please also discuss whether the compensation and securities issuances could result in material dilution of the purchasers' equity interests.

You define "Permitted Withdrawal" to include withdrawals of interest earned on the trust account to fund your working capital requirements, and you have disclosure, such as on page 43, that interest released at liquidation will be net of such Permitted Withdrawals. However, you also state elsewhere, including on the cover page, that interest will only be released from the trust account to pay your tax obligations. Please revise your disclosures throughout for consistency. 8. In your discussion of the prior SPAC experience of your officers and director nominees, please revise to balance your disclosure by clarifying whether an entity was able to complete the business combination within the original completion window or whether there were extensions of time to complete the transaction or if they have not yet completed a combination, whether there have been extensions. Also discuss the amount of shareholder redemptions in connection with such transactions. Please also revise to remove outdated listing information with respect to references to exchanges and ticker symbols. Sponsor Information, page 7 9.

We note your disclosure that if you increase or decrease the size of your offering, you will effect a capitalization or share surrender or redemption or other appropriate mechanism to maintain the ownership of the founder shares by the initial shareholders June 25, 2025 Page 3 at 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

In addition, we note disclosures, such as on pages 43 and 104, that your sponsor, directors, or officers may purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions for the purpose of voting such shares in favor of the business combination. We also note your statement on page 25 that there is no limit on the price that they may pay. Please tell us how such purchases would comply with Exchange Act Rule 14e-5. Refer to Tender Offer Rules and Schedules C&DI 166.01 for guidance. Risk Factors, page 40 13. Please include a risk factor that describes the potential material effect on your shareholders of the stock buyback excise tax enacted as part of the Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022. If applicable, include in your disclosure that the excise tax could reduce the trust account funds available to pay 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 their 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. 14. We note that transfers may be made in connection with any forward purchase agreement or similar arrangements. Please add risk factor disclosure about risks that may arise from the sponsor or a sponsor affiliate 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 all or any portion of its membership interests in the sponsor. 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. If we seek shareholder approval. . ., page 44 15. Please expand this risk factor to discuss the amount of public shares that would be needed to vote in favor of the initial business combination if only a minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted and to explain how many votes will be needed if all the non-managing sponsor investors vote in favor of the transaction. Also revise the first bullet on page 18 and add a bullet on page 37 to include corresponding disclosures.

In addition, please confirm that if your facts and circumstances change over time, you will update your disclosure to reflect those changes impact the risk that you may be considered to be operating as an unregistered investment company. Use of Proceeds, page 75 17.

Refer to Item 1602(c) of Regulation S- K. 19. We note the disclosure in your filing that your amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will provide that you may not redeem your public shares in an amount that would cause your net tangible assets, after payment of the underwriters' fees and commissions, to be less than $5,000,001. Please tell us how you considered this redemption restriction in your determination of your maximum redemption threshold for your dilution presentation. Given your redemption limitation, amend your disclosure to present the number of ordinary shares redeemed and amounts paid for such redemptions as quartile percentages of the maximum redemption rather than based on the entire amount of shares to be sold to public shareholders. Refer to Item 1602(c) of Regulation S-K. Management, page 121 20. Please revise your disclosure to ensure you have disclosed the business experience, principal occupations, and employment of each director and executive officer named during each of the past five years, including dates and duration of employment.

Please file this letter agreement. Refer to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K. General 25. Please ensure that you define all acronyms or defined terms upon first use. For example, you reference SAP units in the fourth paragraph of your cover page but you do not define SAP until the tenth paragraph or SAP Unit until the fourteenth paragraph. 26. Please discuss the general character of your sponsor's business and describe the material roles and responsibilities of your sponsor, its affiliates, and promoters in directing and managing your activities. Refer to Items 1603(a)(2) and (a)(4) of Regulation S-K. 27. Please describe the experience of your sponsor, affiliates, and promoters in organizing special purpose acquisition companies. Refer to Item 1603(a)(3) of Regulation S-K. 28. With a view toward disclosure, please tell us whether your sponsor is, is controlled by, or has substantial ties with a non-U.S. person. If so, also 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 June 25, 2025 Page 6 not be able to complete an initial business combination with a U.S. 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. Disclose that as a result, the pool of potential targets with which you could complete an initial business combination may be limited. 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. Disclose the consequences of liquidation to investors, such as the loss of the investment opportunity in a target company, any price appreciation in the combined company, and the warrants, which would expire worthless. Underwriting, page 166 29. Please revise your underwriter's compensation table to include the SAP units. In that regard, we note your disclosure on page 168 and elsewhere that these items have been deemed compensation by FINRA. Please refer to Item 508(e) of Regulation S-K.
