The numbered paragraphs set forth below respond to the Staff’s comments and correspond to the numbered paragraph in the Staff’s Letter. Los Angeles New York Chicago Nashville Washington, DC Beijing Hong Kong www.loeb.com A limited liability partnership including professional corporations June 4, 2025 Page 2 Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed May 9, 2025 Risk Factors, page 35 1. We note your response to prior comment 4 and reissue in part. Please revise your tax related risk factor disclosure to address the uncertainties and material risks related to rights ownership referenced in the tax section. Response: The Company has revised the disclosure on page 57 of the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. Principal Shareholders, page 133 2. We note your response to prior comment 2. Please revise footnote 3, which indicates the sponsor will own 3,648,333 shares following the offering, for consistency with information in the table. Further disclose, by footnote or otherwise, the number of shares that the sponsor will hold following the offering if the overallotment option is exercised, taking into account the non-forfeiture of shares and the additional private placement units to be purchased. Response: The Company has revised the disclosures on page 133 of the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. June 4, 2025 Page 3 3. Your table of beneficial ownership indicates that Edward Cong Wang owns 3,698,333 shares prior to the offering. Please add footnote disclosure to clarify, if true, that these represent 3,498,333 shares held by the sponsor and 50,000 shares transferred from the sponsor and held directly by Mr. Wang. Include analogous disclosure regarding post offering ownership. Additionally revise the following disclosure to refer to Mr. Wang as appropriate: "Our Sponsor will transfer in an aggregate of 185,000 founder shares) to each of Raymond J. Gibbs, Manuel C. Menendez III, and Stephen Yas upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part." Response: The Company has revised the disclosures on page 133 of the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. Description of Securities, page 139 4. The second bullet point refers to 3,713,333 Class B shares held by your initial shareholders and their permitted transferees following the offering. However, this appears inconsistent with disclosure elsewhere indicating that 3,833,333 Class B founder shares are currently outstanding, and 500,000 of such shares will be forfeited if the overallotment option is not exercised, leaving 3,648,333 Class B shares held by the sponsor and permitted transferees. Please revise to reconcile; in this regard, we note that the 380,000 Class A shares underlying private placement units are not taken into account. Response: The Company has revised the disclosures on page 139 of the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. Legal Matters, page 179 5. We note disclosure that Loeb & Loeb LLP and Forbes Hare LLP are both passing upon the validity of the shares. Please revise to reflect the opinions filed as Exhibits 5.1 and 5.2. Response: The Company has revised the disclosures on page 179 of the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. Financial Statements General, page F-1 6. Please revise to provide updated interim financial statements in your next amendment. Response: The Company has provided updated interim financial statements in response to the Staff’s comment. June 4, 2025 Page 4 Signatures, page II-4 7. Please revise to identify the individual signing in the capacity of your principal accounting officer or controller. Refer to the Instructions to Signatures on Form F-1. Response: The Company has revised the disclosures on page II-4 of the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. Exhibits 8. Please request counsel to revise the legal opinion filed as Exhibit 5.1 to clearly cover the shares that will be issued upon the exercise of rights following completion of the business offering. In addition, please request counsel to revise the penultimate paragraph of the opinion, as this appears to limit reliance. Refer to Section II.B.3.d of Staff Legal Bulletin 19. Response: The Company’s British Virgin Island Counsel, Forbes Hare LLP, has revised its legal opinion in response to the Staff’s comment. 9. Please resubmit Exhibit 10.1 in a format that is text-searchable. Response: The Company has resubmitted Exhibit 10.1 with the Amended Registration Statement.

(the “Company”), we hereby provide a response to the comments issued in a letter dated April 17, 2025 (the “Staff’s Letter”) regarding the Company’s Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Draft Registration Statement”). Contemporaneously, we are publicly filing a Registration Statement via Edgar (the “Registration Statement”). In order to facilitate the review by the Commission’s staff (the “Staff”) of the Amended Registration Statement, we have responded, on behalf of the Company, to the comments set forth in the Staff’s Letter on a point-by-point basis.

We note your revisions in response to prior comment 3. However, your management table continues to identify "Independent directors" rather than "Independent director nominees," and the lead-in continues to state, "Our directors and officers are as follows." Please revise to clearly distinguish your current directors and director nominees. Response: The Company has revised the disclosure on page 125 of the Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. Principal Shareholders, page 133 2. Please revise your table of beneficial ownership to include columns for the number of shares before and after the offering, analogous to your percentage columns. We note that the sponsor is disclosed to own 3,648,333 founder shares following the offering; please revise or advise why the constituent shares of the private placement units to be purchased by the sponsor are not included. Additionally disclose, by footnote or otherwise, how the number and percentage of shares owned by the sponsor will change as a result of exercise of the overallotment option. In this regard, we note the lead-in indicates that the table does not reflect exercise of the overallotment option, yet the shares disclosed in the table do not appear to take into account forfeited shares. Please also revise disclosure on page 139 regarding the units and Class B shares to be outstanding after the offering, as these respective amounts do not appear to reflect private placement units (unless these include Class B shares; if so, revise disclosure elsewhere as appropriate). Response: The Company has revised the disclosures on page 133 of the Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. May 8, 2025 Page 3 Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions, page 136 3. Your revisions in response to prior comment 5 provide amounts as of December 31, 2024. Please additionally disclose the amounts outstanding as of the date of your prospectus. Revise to clarify whether the "effective date of the Proposed Public Offering" refers to the closing of your offering, the effectiveness date of your registration statement, or some other date. Response: The Company has revised the disclosures on page 136 of the Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. Income Tax Considerations, page 158 4. Your revisions in response to prior comment 8 appear limited to the tax consequences of converting rights. Please further revise to discuss the tax consequences of a lapse or expiration of rights. In addition, please your tax-related risk factor disclosure to discuss the uncertainties and material risks related to rights ownership. Response: The Company has revised the disclosures on page 163 of the Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. General 5. We note your response to prior comment 6. However, there still appears to be inconsistency regarding the lock-up period with respect to the sponsor's private placement units. For example, and without limitation, pages 19 and 144 refer to completion of the initial business combination, while page 135 refers to 180 days following completion of the initial business combination. In addition, page 19 refers to private placement units and component securities, while pages 135 and 144 refer to units and Class A ordinary shares issued upon conversion or exercise thereof. Please revise disclosure throughout to clearly indicate whether the lock-up restrictions and registration rights apply to each of the units, component Class A shares, rights, and/or underlying Class A shares. Response: The Company has revised the disclosure on pages 19, 135, and 144 of the Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment.

In addition, page 19 refers to private placement units and component securities, while pages 135 and 144 refer to units and Class A ordinary shares issued upon conversion or exercise thereof. Please revise disclosure throughout to clearly indicate whether the lock-up restrictions and registration rights apply to each of the units, component Class A shares, rights, and/or underlying Class A shares.

Please respond to this letter by providing the requested information and either submitting an amended draft registration statement or publicly filing your registration statement on EDGAR. 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 the information you provide in response to this letter and your amended draft registration statement or filed registration statement, we may have additional comments. Unless we note otherwise, any references to prior comments are to comments in our December 27, 2024 letter. Amendment No. 2 to Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 Cover Page 1. We note your response to prior comment 1. Please further revise your prospectus cover to provide a statement as to all sources of compensation received or to be received by the sponsor and other parties identified in Item 1602(a)(3) of Regulation S-K. Without limitation, your disclosure should include the (i) promissory note, administrative services agreement, and amounts payable to the sponsor discussed on page F-14 and (ii) additional private placement units to be issued and purchased if the overallotment option is exercised. Quantify securities that have or will be issued and amounts that are or will be payable. Provide a cross-reference, highlighted by March 26, 2025 Page 2 prominent type or in another manner, to the locations of related disclosures in the prospectus. See Item 1602(a)(3) of Regulation S-K. Summary, page 1 2. We note your response to prior comment 2. Please further revise the compensation table on page 3 to include all sources of compensation, consistent with revisions to the compensation statement on the prospectus cover. Refer to Item 1602(b)(6) of Regulation S-K. Management, page 125 3. Please revise to identify your director nominees. In this regard, we note three consents are listed as Exhibits 99.2-99.4. Principal Shareholders, page 133 4. We note revised disclosure that the beneficial ownership table "does not reflect record or beneficial ownership of the private placement units as such private placement units are not exercisable within 60 days." Please revise to clarify whether the table reflects the (i) shares included within the private placement units and (ii) shares underlying the rights included within the private placement units. Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions, page 136 5. Please revise this section to provide disclosure regarding the amounts payable, promissory note, and administrative services agreement with the sponsor discussed on page F-14, in addition to any other related party transactions. Refer to Item 404 of Regulation S-K. File any related documents that constitute material contracts under Item 601(b)(10) as exhibits to your registration statement. Description of Securities Private Placement Units, page 144 6. Please revise disclosure relating to lock-up agreements and registration rights to clarify how these relate to each security comprising the private placement units (i.e., Class A shares, rights, and Class A shares underlying rights). Revise as appropriate disclosure that implies public units are redeemable (e.g., "The private placement units are identical to the public units sold in this offering except that: (i) they will not be redeemable by us") and that refers to the "exercise" of private placement units. We note disclosure on page F-13 that one private right will convert into one share; reconcile with disclosure elsewhere that six rights convert into one share. March 26, 2025 Page 3 Rights, page 144 7. Please revise to more fully discuss the rights included in your units, including whether holders thereof will be entitled to any voting, redemption, and/or dividend rights. Include risk factor disclosure regarding the material risks related to rights ownership as appropriate. Income Tax Considerations, page 158 8. We note you have deleted disclosure regarding the tax consequences of an acquisition of Class A shares pursuant to rights and the expiration or extinguishment of a right. Please include disclosure regarding material tax consequences related to your rights, or tell us why you believe such disclosure is not required. General 9. We note disclosure on page 15 and elsewhere regarding the surrender and cancellation of 1,916,667 Class A ordinary shares, resulting in 3,833,333 Class A ordinary shares remaining outstanding. Please revise to reconcile the apparent inconsistency with references elsewhere to the founder shares as Class B, rather than Class A. Additionally revise as appropriate footnotes on page 133 that refer to the sponsor as the holder of 5,000,000 founder shares. 10. We note disclosure on page 133 and elsewhere that the sponsor will transfer 185,000 founder shares to five individuals. If any of these transfers constitutes compensation received or to be received by the sponsor, its affiliates, and promoters, please revise the compensation statement on your prospectus cover and compensation table in your summary to include the disclosures respectively required by Items 1602(a)(3) and (b)(6) of Regulation S-K. 11. We note your response to prior comment 6. However, we continue to note references to both private placement units and Class A shares issued upon conversion of working capital loans (e.g., pages 60 and 63); please reconcile. Please contact Heather Clark at 202-551-3624 or Hugh West at 202-551-3872 if you have questions regarding comments on the financial statements and related matters. Please contact Erin Donahue at 202-551-6063 or Jennifer Angelini at 202-551-3047 with any other questions.

Dear Edward Wang:
We have reviewed your amended draft registration statement and have the following
comments.
Please respond to this letter by providing the requested information and either
submitting an amended draft registration statement or publicly filing your registration
statement on EDGAR. 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 the information you provide in response to this letter and your
amended draft registration statement or filed registration statement, we may have additional
comments. Unless we note otherwise, any references to prior comments are to comments in
our December 3, 2024 letter.
Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed December 17, 2024
Cover Page
We note your revisions in response to our prior comment 13. Please further revise
your prospectus cover to state the amount of the compensation received or to be
received by your sponsor, its affiliates, and promotors, as required by Item 1602(a)(3)
of Regulation S-K. In this regard, we note that disclosure in your related party
transaction section refers to amounts repayable pursuant to a promissory note and
loans to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs, and also
outlines various payments for services that may be rendered, for instance on page 140.
Your disclosure should indicate that there is no cap on such payments, if true, and 1.

include a cross-reference to the locations of related disclosures in the prospectus.
Additionally disclose how exercise of the over-allotment option would impact the
number of securities issued or to be issued ( e.g., forfeiture of founder shares and
purchase of additional private placement warrants).
Summary, page 1
2.We note your response to our prior comment 13. Please reinstate the compensation
table in your prospectus summary, as required by Item 1602(b)(6) of Regulation S-K.
Include revisions as appropriate for consistency with revisions to your cover page
disclosure in response to comment 1 above.
Additional Financing, page 7
3.We note your revisions in response to our prior comment 1, and reissue it in part.
Please further revise to specifically discuss how the terms of additional financings
may impact unaffiliated security holders, as required by Item 1602(b)(5) of
Regulation S-K.
Proposed Business, page 96
4.We note your response to prior comment 8, and reissue it in part. In addition to
extensions and redemptions related to extensions, please disclose the redemption
levels in connection with the business combinations of each of Pacifico Acquisition
Corp. and Redwoods Acquisition Corp.
General
5.Your disclosure in response to our prior comment 12 that "[Y]ou must hold rights in
multiples of twenty (20) in order to receive shares for all of your rights upon closing
of a business combination," appears inconsistent with disclosure that "Each whole
right entitles the holder thereof to receive one Class A ordinary share upon
consummation of our initial business combination." Please revise to reconcile. If
appropriate, include disclosure analogous to that regarding warrants, including that
a multiple of 20 units is required in order for a holder to receive and trade a whole
public right, and addressing how "fractional" rights ( i.e., non-multiples of 20) will be
treated upon separation of units and closing of a business combination.
6.We note that disclosure regarding the potential conversion of working capital loans
refers to various securities, including private placement warrants, warrants, and Class
A shares or units (for example, cf. pages 60, 64, and 84). Please revise disclosure
regarding such conversions and related registration rights throughout your prospectus
for consistency.

December 3, 2024

2.We note disclosure that you are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business
combination with a company affiliated with your sponsor, directors, or officers,
including a joint venture or other form of shared ownership therewith. Please revise to
additionally disclose whether you would obtain a third-party opinion as to the fairness
of the transaction. Ensure consistency with related risk factor disclosure appearing on
page 70.
3.Please balance your prospectus summary by including disclosure regarding the
competition among SPACs in pursuing business combinations and the potential
impact on attractiveness of acquisition terms, analogous to risk factor disclosure on
page 43.
Conflicts of Interest, page 32
4.When discussing the conflicts of interest of the sponsor and management team from
owning securities in the company, please revise to clearly disclose the nominal price
paid for the securities and the conflict of interest in determining whether to pursue a
de-SPAC transaction. In addition, please add disclosure of the conflicts of interest
relating to the compensation, repayment of loans, and reimbursements of expenses
that will be paid to officers and directors affiliated with the sponsor upon completion
of a de-SPAC transaction. See Item 1602(b)(7) of Regulation S-K.

General
12.We note disclosure indicating that rights will trade on Nasdaq following the
separation of units, but also disclosure that solely refers to trading in, and provides
symbols for, shares and warrants. Please revise disclosure throughout your prospectus
as appropriate for consistency regarding whether rights will trade on Nasdaq,
including whether holders will need to own at least 20 units to be entitled to trade one
right upon separation.
13.Please revise your prospectus cover to disclose the information required by Item
1602(a)(3) of Regulation S-K. Revise disclosure within your prospectus pursuant to

agreements related to repayment of loans (including any promissory note), payment
for administrative services, reimbursement of expenses, and any other potential
sources of compensation to the sponsor, its affiliates, or promoters. In this regard, we

pursuant to Item 1602(b)(6) includes all such sources of compensation.

amounts remaining in the trust account following redemptions in connection with the
consummation of your initial business combination. Please revise to clarify whether
underwriting commissions will be reduced following redemptions in connection with
any extension of your business combination deadline.
15.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.
16.With a view toward disclosure, please tell us whether your sponsor is, is controlled
by, has any members who are, or has substantial ties with, a non-U.S. person.
Revise your existing risk factor disclosure relating to CFIUS on page 42 to
additionally address how this fact could impact your ability to complete your initial
business combination.

17.Disclosure on page 40 indicates that you have identified a material weakness and have
ineffective internal control over financial reporting, while disclosure on page 95
indicates that you have not completed an assessment of internal controls. Please revise
to reconcile this apparent inconsistency.
