Initial Business Combination, page 21 4. Where you discuss having until 24 months from the closing of this offering to consummate an initial business combination on page 22, or elsewhere in the Summary as appropriate, please expand to describe your plans in the event that you do not consummate a de-SPAC transaction within this time period, including whether, and if so, how, you may extend the time period; any limitations on extensions, including the number of times; the consequences to your sponsor of not completing an extension of this time period; and whether security holders will have voting or redemption rights with respect to such an extension. See Item 1602(b)(4) of Regulation S-K. Conflicts of Interest, page 47 5.
