For your convenience, each response is prefaced by the exact text of the Staff’s corresponding comment in bold, italicized text.

Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-4

 

Risk Factors

 

Our CEO and Chairman of our board of directors has a personal loan which may become due if the business combination does not close., page 36

 

1. Please disclose the counterparty to this loan, if material, in order to provide additional context with regards to any conflicts of interests related to the closing of the business combination.

 

  RESPONSE: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that the identity of the counterparty to the AT CEO’s loan is not material. The Company has revised the disclosure on page 36 of Amendment No. 2 to clarify that the AT CEO’s loan is with a large financial institution that is not affiliated with either the Company or AT. The Company additionally advises the Staff that both the Company and AT have confirmed based on internal inquiries that the financial institution is not an equityholder, customer of or lender to the Company, AT or any of AT’s subsidiaries, and does not otherwise have any relationship with the Company, AT or any of AT’s subsidiaries. Accordingly the counterparty to the AT CEO’s loan does not present any conflicts of interests related to the closing of the business combination.
