Washington, D.C. 20549-3561 Attention: Steve Lo, Kimberly Calder, Timothy S. Levenberg and Laura Nicholson Re: GigCapital7 Corp. Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form S-4 Filed March 11, 2026 File No. 333-291477 Dear Mr. Lo, Ms. Calder, Mr. Levenberg, and Ms. Nicholson: Set forth below are responses to the comments that were provided by the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “ Staff ”) of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) to our client, GigCapital7 Corp. (the “ Company ” or “ GigCapital7 ”), by your letter dated April 6, 2026, regarding the above-referenced filing (the “ Registration Statement ”). For your convenience, each response is prefaced by the exact text of the Staff’s corresponding comment in bold, italicized text. Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed on March 11, 2026 The proposed Domesticated GigCapital7 Charter will provide, subject to limited exceptions, that the courts of the State of Delaware, page 110 1. We note your response to prior comment 1. Please revise your disclosure throughout relating to the exclusive forum provision in the proposed Domesticated GigCapital7 Charter to clearly state (1) whether Section 11.1(a) of the proposed Domesticated GigCapital7 Charter would require derivative claims under the Exchange Act to be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; (2) whether the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware has jurisdiction over such claims; and (3) the effect of a provision that requires derivative claims under the Exchange Act to be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, if enforced, would be to preclude stockholders from bringing derivative claims under the Exchange Act in any forum. Please also address the uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce a provision that requires derivative claims under the Exchange Act to be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. In particular, please balance your discussion of the 2023 decision of the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Lee v. Fisher with a discussion of subsequently adopted Section 115(c) and the legislative synopsis of the amendment, which states that amended Section 115 “reaches a result different from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in Lee v. Fisher” and requires that “a forum selection provision that purports to address derivative claims under federal law must . . . permit the claim to be brought in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.” RESPONSE : The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and proposes to revise its disclosure on pages 110-111 and pages 187-191 of the Registration Statement to read as set forth below. In addition, Section 11.1(a) of each of the proposed Form of Interim Certificate of Incorporation and proposed Form of Post-Closing Certificate of Incorporation will be revised to read as set forth below. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission April 8, 2026 Page 2 Pages 110-111 The proposed Domesticated GigCapital7 Charter will provide, subject to limited exceptions, that the courts of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation matters, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or stockholders. The proposed Domesticated GigCapital7 Charter will provide, subject to limited exceptions, that the courts of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) will , to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation matters, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or stockholders. The proposed Domesticated GigCapital7 Charter will require, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought in our name or right or on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees, agents or stockholders to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) or our Bylaws or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery, (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) or our Bylaws, or (v) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, shall be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) , in each case subject to such court having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein. Furthermore, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, with respect to claims that are not internal corporate claims, stockholders, when acting in their capacity as stockholders or in the right of the Corporation, must bring any such claims only in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, if such claims relate to the business of the Corporation, the conduct of its affairs, or the rights or powers of the Corporation or its stockholders, directors or officers, in each case subject to the applicable court having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. Direct claims brought under the Exchange Act can be brought in the U.S. federal courts as Section 27 of the Exchange Act provides for exclusive jurisdiction of such claims in the U.S. federal courts, and pursuant to Section 29(a) of the Exchange Act, Domesticated GigCapital7 cannot bind a stockholder to waive compliance with such jurisdictional requirement. As such, the forum selection provision set forth in the Domesticated GigCapital7 Charter will not affect that direct claims under the Exchange Act are to be brought in the U.S. federal courts. Domesticated GigCapital7 will be headquartered in California. Under a 2023 decision of the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, which is binding on lawsuits brought in U.S. federal courts located in California, forum selection provisions that require stockholders of Delaware corporations to file derivative actions or proceedings in the Court of Chancery are enforceable as applied to claims asserted derivatively under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and therefore will be respected, which may mean that no In addition, because the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction over claims brought under the Exchange Act, any derivative claims under Section 14(a) need to be brought in the federal court for the District of Delaware. can be brought in any court as the forum for such claims is restricted by Section 27 of the Exchange Act to U.S. federal courts. In upholding the enforceability of the forum selection provision at issue in its decision, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal considered among other things both whether such forum selection provision was void as an invalid waiver under Section 29(a) of the Exchange Act, and concluded that it was not, and also whether such forum selection provision was invalid as a matter of Delaware law under Section 115 of the DGCL and similarly determined that it is not, stating that Section 115 is inapplicable because it does not address the validity of a forum-selection clause’s effect on federal claims. In doing so, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals interpreted Delaware law to reach its conclusion that the forum selection provision was not contrary to Delaware law. In its decision, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals acknowledged that another U.S. Court of Appeals takes a contrary position to that of the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, but concluded that such earlier decision by the other U.S. Court of Appeals failed to apply Delaware law correctly and therefore the analysis of such other U.S. Court of Appeals is flawed, and as such, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals declined to follow such earlier decision. If the U.S. Supreme Court were to resolve this disagreement between the two U.S. Courts of Appeals against the decision of the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, or if the Delaware Supreme Court were to reach a contrary determination concerning Delaware law, then any such derivative action under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act involving Domesticated GigCapital7 would be maintainable in a U.S. federal court notwithstanding the provision in the Domesticated GigCapital7 Charter. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in our securities will be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the exclusive forum provisions in the Domesticated GigCapital7 Charter, and, if an action within the scope of the forum provision is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware, such stockholder will be deemed to have consented to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought to enforce the forum provisions and to service of process through such stockholder’s counsel in the foreign action. In addition, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the U.S. federal district courts will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. This federal forum provision pertaining to causes of action arising under the Securities Act does not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act, or the rules and regulations thereunder, or to any other claim for which the U.S. federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission April 8, 2026 Page 3 Pages 187-191 Cayman Constitutional Documents Proposed Organizational Documents Exclusive Forum Provision (Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5B) The Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that unless GigCapital7 consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the courts of the Cayman Islands shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim or dispute arising out of or in connection with the Cayman Constitutional Documents or otherwise related in any way to each shareholder’s shareholding in GigCapital7, including but not limited to: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on GigCapital7’s behalf; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of any fiduciary or other duty owed by any of GigCapital7’s current or former director, officer or other employee to GigCapital7 or its shareholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Companies Act or the Cayman Constitutional Documents; or (iv) any action asserting a claim against GigCapital7 governed by the internal affairs doctrine (as such concept is recognized under the laws of the United States) and that each shareholder irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Cayman Islands over all such claims or disputes. The forum selection provision in the Cayman Constitutional Documents do not apply to actions or suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any claim for which the federal district courts of the United States are, as a matter of the laws of the United States, the sole and exclusive forum for determination of such a claim. See Article 50 of the Cayman Constitutional Documents. The Proposed Interim Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Post-Closing Certificate of Incorporation would provide that unless Domesticated GigCapital7 consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) will , to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought in the name or right of Domesticated GigCapital7 or on its behalf; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee, agent or stockholder of Domesticated GigCapital7 to Domesticated GigCapital7 or its stockholders; (iii) any action or proceeding arising or asserting a claim pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) or the Bylaws, or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) or the Bylaws; or (v) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each such case subject to such court having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein. Furthermore, unless Domesticated GigCapital7 consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, with respect to claims that are not internal corporate claims, stockholders, when acting in their capacity as stockholders or in the right of Domesticated GigCapital7, must bring any or all such claims only in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, if such claims relate to the business of Domesticated GigCapital7, the conduct of its affairs, or the rights or powers of Domesticated GigCapital7 or its stockholders, directors or officers, in each case subject to such court having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein. Direct claims U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission April 8, 2026 Page 4 brought under the Exchange Act can be brought in the U.S. federal courts as Section 27 of the Exchange Act provides for exclusive jurisdiction of such claims, in the U.S. federal courts, and pursuant to Section 29(a) of the Exchange Act, Domesticated GigCapital7 cannot bind a stockholder to waive compliance with such jurisdictional requirement. As such, the forum selection provision set forth in the Domesticated GigCapital7 Charter will not affect that direct claims under the Exchange Act are to be brought in the U.S. federal courts. In addition, because the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction over claims brought under the Exchange Act, any Domesticated GigCapital7 will be headquartered in California. Under a 2023 decision of the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, which is binding on lawsuits brought in U.S. federal courts located in California, forum selection provisions that require stockholders of Delaware corporations to file derivative actions or proceedings in the Court of Chancery are enforceable as applied to claims asserted derivatively under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and therefore will be respected, which may mean that

Dear Avi S. Katz and Samuel Gibson:
We have reviewed your amended registration statement and have the following
comments.
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe a comment applies to your facts and circumstances
or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response.
After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you

Amended Registration Statement on Form S-4
The proposed Domesticated GigCapital7 Charter will provide, subject to limited exceptions, that

We note your response to prior comment 1. Please revise your disclosure throughout
relating to the exclusive forum provision in the proposed Domesticated GigCapital7
Charter to clearly state (1) whether Section 11.1(a) of the proposed Domesticated
GigCapital7 Charter would require derivative claims under the Exchange Act to be 1.

brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; (2) whether the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware has jurisdiction over such claims; and (3) the
effect of a provision that requires derivative claims under the Exchange Act to be
brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, if enforced, would be to
preclude stockholders from bringing derivative claims under the Exchange Act in any
forum. Please also address the uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce a
provision that requires derivative claims under the Exchange Act to be brought in the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. In particular, please balance your
discussion of the 2023 decision of the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Lee v.
Fisher with a discussion of subsequently adopted Section 115(c) and the legislative
synopsis of the amendment, which states that amended Section 115 “reaches a result
different from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in Lee v. Fisher”
and requires that “a forum selection provision that purports to address derivative claims
under federal law must . . . permit the claim to be brought in the United States District
Court for the District of Delaware.”

(the “ Company ” or “ GigCapital7 ”), by your letter dated January 15, 2026, regarding the above-referenced filing (the “ Registration Statement ”). For your convenience, each response is prefaced by the exact text of the Staff’s corresponding comment in bold, italicized text. In addition to the responses to the Staff’s comments, concurrently with the filing of this letter, GigCapital7 will file Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (“ Amendment No. 1 ”) to reflect the Staff’s requested disclosure edits. Unless otherwise specified, all references to page numbers and captions correspond to the Registration Statement if referring to the Staff’s comment, or to Amendment No. 1 if in the response.

Background of the Business Combination, page 146 3. Please revise your disclosure throughout this section to discuss in greater detail the substance of meetings and discussions among representatives of GigCapital7 and Hadron Energy. Identify the individuals that participated in each negotiation, the material terms that were discussed, how parties’ positions differed, and how issues were resolved. Your disclosure should reflect how the terms of the business combination evolved during negotiations. For example, we note your disclosure that on September 27, 2025, counsel for GigCapital7 provided to counsel for Hadron Energy a revised draft of the Business Combination Agreement that addressed “various structural issues” that had been identified during the legal due diligence process. Please revise to describe such structural issues and how they were addressed in the Business Combination Agreement. RESPONSE : The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised its disclosure on pages 148-150 of Amendment No. 1. 4. Please discuss in greater detail the role and level of involvement from the referenced third parties in the due diligence process and in the GigCapital7 board’s deliberations and analysis of the business combination. For example, explain the role and involvement of the “technical nuclear consultants” you reference and the involvement of GigCapital7’s financial advisor which supported GigCapital7 management’s view regarding valuation. With reference to your tabular presentation of the pro forma shares of the combined Company on pages 153 and 154, please address the following: RESPONSE : The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised its disclosure on pages 149-150 and 152 of Amendment No. 1, including to correct the identification of the “financial advisor” as Hadron Energy’s financial advisor rather than as GigCapital7’s financial advisor. 5. We note your disclosure that GigCapital7 presented an exclusive letter of intent to Hadron Energy, valuing Hadron Energy at $1 billion “based on the information provided and discussed the prior day.” Please revise to clarify the information provided that was the basis for the $1 billion valuation. RESPONSE : The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised its disclosure on page 148 of Amendment No. 1. The GigCapital7 Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination, page 151 6. Please revise to clarify the source, nature, and substance of the “certain” unaudited prospective Hadron Energy financial information that was provided to GigCapital7 and referenced on page 151 and reconcile such reference with your statement on page 162 that “[n]o financial projections with respect to Hadron Energy were provided to the GigCapital7 Board for its consideration of the Business Combination.” Similarly, we note your disclosure on page 162 that GigCapital7 management assumed that the estimates and data that the management of GigCapital7 approved for use in preparing the Materials were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting “the best currently available estimates and good faith judgments of management of Hadron Energy as to the future financial performance of,” and are a reasonable basis upon which to assess, Hadron Energy, the Business Combination and the Merger and other matters covered thereby.

affirmative vote of the holders of one-third of the GigCapital7 Ordinary Shares who,
being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general

general meeting, does not appear to be consistent with your disclosure on page xxxiii

Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 Filed August 5, 2024 Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 Filed August 14, 2024 File No. 333-280015 Dear Ms. Gorman and Ms. Yale: Set forth below are responses to the comments that were provided by the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to our client, GigCapital7 Corp. (the “Company” or “GigCapital7”), by your letter dated August 21, 2024, regarding the above-referenced Amendments to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (“Form S-1”). For your convenience, each response is prefaced by the exact text of the Staff’s corresponding comment in bold, italicized text. In addition to the responses to the Staff’s comments, concurrently with the filing of this letter, GigCapital7 will file Amendment No. 4 to Form S-1 (“Amendment No. 4”) to reflect the Staff’s requested disclosure edits. Unless otherwise specified, all references to page numbers and captions correspond to Amendment No. 3 to Form S-1 if referring to the Staff’s comment, or to Amendment No. 4 if in the response. Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on August 14, 2024 Cover Page 1. We note that the subscription agreement with your non-managing investors filed as Exhibit 10.3 provides that it will terminate if the closing for the offering does not occur prior to August 31, 2024. Please revise your disclosure as appropriate, including on the cover page, to disclose this date. Please also revise to disclose the impact such termination would have on your potential operations. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission August 22, 2024 Page 2 RESPONSE: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised and supplemented its disclosures on the cover page and cover page 2 and pages 18, 63, 96 and 97 with respect to the termination of the subscription agreements with non-managing investors on August 31, 2024 and its potential impact on the initial public offering of the Company and its operations. Summary of Risk Factors, page 42 2. We acknowledge your response to prior comment 4. However, as previously stated, please revise your summary risk factor disclosure to also specifically explain that the initial shareholders will collectively hold 40% of the outstanding ordinary shares upon completion of the offering, assuming that none of the initial shareholders purchase public units, and also specifically state the amount they will hold assuming that they purchase all of the public units for which they’ve expressed interest. Further, please revise the fourth full summary risk factor on page 43 to specifically address the impact of having a limited public float, including the inability to list, or maintain a listing on, NASDAQ. RESPONSE: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the summary of risk factors on pages 42, 43, 45 and 83 to expand and supplement the disclosure. Dilution, page 102 3. We note in the latest amendment that your net tangible book value has changed. Your current net tangible value just indicates before this offering, while prior filings disclosed the net tangible book value as of May 31, 2024, which coincided with the date of the latest balance sheet included within your filing. Please clarify how you calculated the net tangible book value disclosed in the latest amendment including which date the net tangible book value is as of. In addition, please clarify your basis for presenting such value instead of the value as of the latest balance sheet presented within your filing. RESPONSE: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the section entitled “Dilution” on page 102 of Amendment No. 4 to provide the requested clarifications with respect to the net tangible book value. The Company believes that reflecting the share activity subsequent to the latest balance sheet date more accurately portrays the net tangible book value per share. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission August 22, 2024 Page 3 Exhibits 4. Please request New York counsel to revise its opinion in Exhibit 5.1 to remove the assumption in clause (a) on page 3 of the opinion, or ensure that Cayman counsel provides the opinion.

please revise your summary risk factor disclosure to also specifically explain that the
initial shareholders will collectively hold 40% of the outstanding ordinary shares upon
completion of the offering, assuming that none of the initial shareholders purchase public
units, and also specifically state the amount they will hold assuming that they purchase all
of the public units for which they've expressed interest. Further, please revise the fourth

Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 Filed July 10, 2024 File No. 333-280015 Dear Ms. Gorman and Ms. Yale: Set forth below are responses to the comments that were provided by the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to our client, GigCapital7 Corp. (the “Company” or “GigCapital7”), by your letter dated July 31, 2024, regarding the above-referenced Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 ( “Form S-1”). For your convenience, each response is prefaced by the exact text of the Staff’s corresponding comment in bold, italicized text. In addition to the responses to the Staff’s comments, concurrently with the filing of this letter, GigCapital7 will file Amendment No. 2 to Form S-1 (“Amendment No. 2”) to reflect the Staff’s requested disclosure edits. Unless otherwise specified, all references to page numbers and captions correspond to Form S-1 if referring to the Staff’s comment, or to Amendment No. 2 if in the response. Amendment No. 1 Registration Statement on Form S-1 Cover Page 1. We note your response to prior comment 1 and your revised disclosures regarding the similarities and differences in interests between public shareholders and non-managing investors. Please revise your cover page to reflect these interests. RESPONSE: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has supplemented its disclosure on cover page 3 to add discussion of the similarities and differences in interests between public shareholders and non-managing investors. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission August 5, 2024 Page 2 2. We note your statement that none of the non-managing investors has any obligation to vote any of their public shares in favor of your initial business combination. We also note your revised disclosure on page 40, and elsewhere in your prospectus, that your initial shareholders have agreed to vote in favor of the initial business combination, and that your defined term for “initial shareholders” includes the holders of your private placement shares. Please revise to reconcile. RESPONSE: In response to Staff’s comment, the Company has supplemented its disclosure on cover page 3 to clarify that although the non-managing investors have agreed to vote their private placement shares in favor of an initial business combination, none of them has any obligation to vote any of its public shares in favor of an initial business combination. Further, the Company has clarified the disclosures regarding the same on pages 19, 24, 30, 126 and 128 of Amendment No. 2. Summary Conflicts of Interest, page 35 3. We note your response to prior comment 3. We also note your risk factor on page 48. As previously stated, please balance your disclosures by also expanding your discussion here to address the high level of competition you may face in pursuing business combination transaction candidates, which may negatively impact the acquisition terms you are able to negotiate. Also further revise your disclosures to clarify that UpHealth is traded on OTC Pink, and update your disclosures regarding the OTC status of Lightning eMotors. RESPONSE: In response to Staff’s comment, the Company has expanded the discussion on conflicts of interest on pages 37 – 38 to address the high competition for available targets as the number of special purposes acquisition companies increases and have added a cross-reference to the risk factor “As the number of special purpose acquisition companies evaluating targets increases, and other issued SPAC entities may come to market with superior terms for the targets, attractive targets may become scarcer and there may be more competition for attractive targets. This could increase the cost of our initial business combination and could even result in our inability to find a target or to consummate an initial business combination.” on page 50. The Company has also clarified on pages 2 – 3, 5, 105, 112, 114 – 115, 120 and 140 – 141 that the securities of UpHealth, Inc. are traded on OTC Pink and securities of Lightning eMotors, Inc. are traded on OTC Expert Market. Risks Summary of Risk Factors, page 40 4. We acknowledge your revised disclosures in response to prior comment 2. Please add disclosure on page 40 to specifically discuss the risks related to the ownership by the non-managing investors, including risks related to the potential limited public float, and the resulting consequences. Also specifically explain that the initial shareholders will collectively hold 40% of the outstanding ordinary shares upon completion of the offering, assuming that none of the initial shareholders purchase public units, and also specifically state the amount they will hold assuming that the non-managing investors purchase 99% of the public units. Please correspondingly revise similar disclosures elsewhere in your prospectus so that your disclosures are consistently clear regarding the potential holdings of the initial shareholders, which you define to include the non-managing investors. For example, we note that your discussion in the last risk factor on page 63 does not clearly disclose the potential purchase of up to 99% of the public units by the non-managing investors because you only state that your initial shareholders “could” determine to make purchases “in the future.” Also, in your Principal Shareholders section, revise to also include disclosure regarding the potential purchase by the non-managing investors of 99% of your public units. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission August 5, 2024 Page 3 RESPONSE: In response to Staff’s comment, the Company has supplemented the Summary of Risk Factors on page 43 by adding a risk factor “The non-managing investors have expressed an interest to purchase substantially all of the public units in this offering, which could reduce the trading volume, volatility and liquidity for our public shares if they choose not to trade their public shares post-offering, and adversely affect the trading price of our public shares.” The other risk factors that discuss the share ownership of the non-managing investors and associated risks are “If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, our initial shareholders have agreed to vote their founder shares and private placement shares in favor of such initial business combination, regardless of how our public shareholders vote” and “Our initial shareholders will control a substantial interest in us and thus may influence certain actions requiring a shareholder vote,” which are included in the Summary of Risk Factors on pages 42 and 44, respectively. Additionally, the Company has clarified that it expects that the initial shareholders will beneficially own 40% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, assuming that none of the initial shareholders, including the non-managing investors, will purchase any public units or public shares in this offering. However, if the non-managing investors purchase the entire 24.418 million of public units for which they have expressed an interest and assuming none of them will trade such public units after the offering, the initial shareholders may beneficially own approx. 98.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. The Company has revised the disclosures on pages 22 – 24, 45, 65 – 66, 153 – 154 and 171 regarding the same. The Company has also revised section “Principal Shareholders” on pages 153 – 154 to include the information regarding the potential purchase by the non-managing investors of approx. 97.67% of the public units in this offering. Risk Factors If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination…, page 43 5. We note your response to prior comment 6 and note your disclosure that the non-managing investors “will potentially have different interests than our other public shareholders in approving our initial business combination.” Please further revise to explain these different interests or include specific cross-references. In addition, in your discussion of the shareholder approval needed if a special resolution is required, please expand your discussion to discuss how many public shares may be needed. RESPONSE: In response to Staff’s comment, the Company has further revised the risk factor “If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, our initial shareholders have agreed to vote their founder shares and private placement shares in favor of such initial business combination, regardless of how our public shareholders vote” on pages 45 – 46 to expand the discussion on different interests between the non-managing investors and other public shareholders. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission August 5, 2024 Page 4 In addition, the Company has clarified the term “special resolution” on pages 1 – 2 to include a number of public shares that may be needed to approve a decision by special resolution. Our management team and our Sponsor may make a profit. . ., page 65 6. We refer to your revised disclosure in this risk factor. Please further revise this risk factor to also reference the non-managing investors in the heading. In addition, please add a specific discussion regarding the non-managing investors’ purchase price of the private placement securities, similar to your discussion for the Sponsor. RESPONSE: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the risk factor “Our management team, the non-managing investors and our Sponsor may make a profit on any initial business combination, even if any public shareholders who did not redeem their shares would experience a loss on that business combination. As a result, the economic interests of our management team, the non-managing investors and our Sponsor may not fully align with the economic interests of public shareholders” on pages 67 – 68 to include the requested information. Use of Proceeds, page 95 7. We note your revised disclosure indicating that the underwriter is reimbursing you for certain expenses, which is equivalent to half of the compensation to be received by the underwriter. Please disclose what consideration you, the sponsor, or any of your or the sponsor’s affiliates are giving to the underwriters in exchange for this payment, or advise. RESPONSE: In response to Staff’s comment, the Company has clarified the disclosure in footnote 8 on page 99 to state that the underwriter has agreed to reimburse certain expenses of the Company in furtherance of this offering and for no other additional consideration. * * * U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission August 5, 2024 Page 5 The Company and its management acknowledge they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comment, action or absence of action by the Staff.

We note your disclosure that certain institutional investors, which you refer to as “non-managing investors,” have expressed an interest to purchase up to approximately 99% of the units in this offering at the offering price. Please revise to disclose the potential material impact of these purchases on the public investors. Additionally, please tell us whether the potential limited number of public investors would impact your eligibility to list your securities on Nasdaq, clarify the number of non-managing sponsor investors U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission July 9, 2024 Page 2 who have expressed an interest in purchasing securities, and to the extent material, identify such investors. In addition, you also state that certain of these non-managing investors have committed to purchase shares from you in a private placement and you define “non-managing investors” on page 1 to refer to holders of your private placement shares prior to the offering. Please revise to clarify. RESPONSE: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised and supplemented its disclosures with respect to the number of non-managing investors and the impact of non-managing investors’ purchases of public units in this offering on the public investors on cover pages 2 – 3 and additionally updated the disclosures accordingly on pages 17 - 18, 21 - 24 and 29 of Amendment No. 1.

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. Describe the risks of the excise tax applying to redemptions in connection with: • liquidations that are not implemented to fall within the meaning of “complete liquidation” in Section 331 of the Internal Revenue Code, • extensions, depending on the timing of the extension relative to when the SPAC completes a de-SPAC or liquidates, and • de-SPACs, depending on the structure of the 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. RESPONSE: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has added a new risk factor titled “If our initial business combination involves a company organized under the laws of the United States (or any subdivision thereof), a U.S. federal excise tax could be imposed on us in connection with any redemptions of our Class A ordinary shares after or in connection with such initial business combination.” on pages 86 – 87 of Amendment No. 1 If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination. . ., page 38 6.

forepart of the prospectus a series of concise, bulleted or numbered statements
summarizing the principal factors that make an investment in the registrant or offering
speculative or risky. Please refer to Item 105 of Regulation S-K.
3.We note that you disclose that your management has sponsored other special purpose
acquisition companies. Please revise to add balancing disclosures, including the high level
of competition you may face in pursuing business combination transaction candidates,
which may negatively impact the acquisition terms you are able to negotiate. Revise to
add the current post-combination companies' ticker symbols. For example, we noted that
UpHealth, Inc. and Lightning eMotors appear to be currently trading on OTC Pink.
Risk Factors, page 38
4.Please revise to add a risk factor discussing the risks arising from the reduced public float
because non-managing investors may purchase up to an aggregate of approximately 99%
of the units in this offering.
5.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. Describe the risks of the excise tax applying to
redemptions in connection with:
• liquidations that are not implemented to fall within the meaning of “complete
liquidation” in Section 331 of the Internal Revenue Code,
• extensions, depending on the timing of the extension relative to when the SPAC
completes a de-SPAC or liquidates, and
• de-SPACs, depending on the structure of the 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.

6.Please expand your disclosures to also discuss the large number of shares that may be
owned by the non-managing investors and associated risks regarding their potential votes.

7.We note your disclosure regarding the consequences to you if you were deemed to be an
investment company under the Investment Company Act. Please expand this disclosure to
clarify that your warrants would expire worthless if you have to wind down your
operations as a result of this status. Similarly, on page 63, please expand the risk factor
"We may not be able to complete a business combination with certain potential target
companies ..." to address that your warrants would expire worthless if you are required to
liquidate.
