intend to target businesses with enterprise values that are greater than you could acquire with the net proceeds of this offering and

Response : The Company acknowledges

Dilution, page 99
7. Please revise your dilution disclosure on pages 99 to 101 to also include the tabular dilution disclosure
you have provided on the outside front cover page of the prospectus. Reference is made to Item 1602(c) of Regulation S-K.
Response : The Company acknowledges
the comments of the Staff and has revised the disclosure on page 106-107.
8. We note all of the column headings are labeled as "With Over-Allotment" in the table on page
100. Please revise to ensure that the column headings are properly labeled as "With Over-Allotment" or "Without Over-Allotment"
for each redemption scenario in the table.
Response : The Company acknowledges
the comments of the Staff and has revised the disclosure on page 107.
9. We note inconsistent disclosure throughout in your filing with respect to whether or not you cannot
redeem the public shares in an amount that would cause your net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. For example purposes only,
we noted:
● On page 64, you disclose that your amended
and restated memorandum and articles of association will not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold.
● Your tabular disclosure on page 100 indicates
you have assumed $140,162,387 as the amount paid for redemptions in your maximum redemption scenario. This tabular disclosure in inconsistent
with your narrative disclosure on page 101, which states that for purposes of presenting the maximum redemption scenario, you have reduced
your pro forma net tangible book value after this offering (assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option) by
$150,000,000 because holders of up to approximately 100% of your public shares may redeem their shares.
● On page F-11, you state that although the
Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that the Company will not redeem its Public Shares in an
amount that would cause its net tangible assets (shareholder's equity) to be less than $5,000,001.
Please revise your filing to address
these and other related inconsistencies. Your revisions should clarify if you do or do not have a redemption restriction such that you
cannot redeem the public shares in an amount that would cause your net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.
Response : The Company acknowledges
the comments of the Staff and has revised the disclosure on pages 107, F-8 and F-11.
10. We note that one of your calculations assumptions is that no ordinary shares and convertible equity
or debt securities are issued in connection with additional financing in connection with an initial business combination. Please expand
your disclosure to highlight that you may need to do so as you intend to target an initial business combination with a target company
whose enterprise value is greater than you could acquire with the net proceeds of the offering and the sale of private placement warrants,
as stated on page 66 of your prospectus.
Response : The Company acknowledges
the comments of the Staff and has revised the disclosure on page 105.

accuracy.
Ability to extend time to complete business combination, page 28
5.Please disclose your plans if you do not consummate a de-SPAC transaction within 24
months, including whether there are any limitations on the number of extensions,
including the number of times, and the consequences to the SPAC sponsor of not
completing an extension of this time period. See Item 1602(b)(4) of Regulation S-K.
Anticipated expenses and funding sources, page 28
6.Please revise this section or include a new section within the Summary under an
appropriate subcaption to provide a more comprehensive discussion regarding
whether you have any plans to seek additional financing and how such financings may
impact unaffiliated security holders, as required by Item1602(b)(5) of Regulation S-K.
In this regard, we note your disclosures that you intend to target businesses with
enterprise values that are greater than you could acquire with the net proceeds of this
offering and the sale of the private placement warrants, as stated on page 66.
Dilution, page 99
7.Please revise your dilution disclosure on pages 99 to 101 to also include the tabular
dilution disclosure you have provided on the outside front cover page of the
prospectus. Reference is made to Item 1602(c) of Regulation S-K.
8.We note all of the column headings are labeled as "With Over-Allotment" in the table
on page 100. Please revise to ensure that the column headings are properly labeled as
"With Over-Allotment" or "Without Over-Allotment" for each redemption scenario in
the table.
We note inconsistent disclosure throughout in your filing with respect to whether or
not you cannot redeem the public shares in an amount that would cause your net
tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. For example purposes only, we noted:

•On page 64, you disclose that your amended and restated memorandum and
articles of association will not provide a specified maximum redemption
threshold.
•Your tabular disclosure on page 100 indicates you have assumed $140,162,387 as
the amount paid for redemptions in your maximum redemption scenario. This
tabular disclosure in inconsistent with your narrative disclosure on page 101,
which states that for purposes of presenting the maximum redemption scenario,
you have reduced your pro forma net tangible book value after this offering
(assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option) by
$150,000,000 because holders of up to approximately 100% of your public shares
may redeem their shares.
•On page F-11, you state that although the Company did not specify a
maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that the Company will not
redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets
(shareholder’s equity) to be less than $5,000,001.
Please revise your filing to address these and other related inconsistencies. Your
revisions should clarify if you do or do not have a redemption restriction such that you
cannot redeem the public shares in an amount that would cause your net tangible
assets to be less than $5,000,001.
10.We note that one of your calculations assumptions is that no ordinary shares and
convertible equity or debt securities are issued in connection with additional financing
in connection with an initial business combination. Please expand your disclosure to
highlight that you may need to do so as you intend to target an initial business
combination with a target company whose enterprise value is greater than you could
acquire with the net proceeds of the offering and the sale of private placement
warrants, as stated on page 66 of your prospectus.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence
of action by the staff.
Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please allow adequate
time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of the registration
statement.
