Questions and Answers about the Proposals for Shareholders, page 1

3.	*Staff comment:* Please add a question and answer that addresses the positive and negative factors that the board considered when determining to enter into the business combination agreement and its rationale for approving the transaction.

Response: The Registrants respectfully acknowledge the Staff’s comment and advise the Staff that they have added the requested question and answer on pages 5-9.

What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences as a result of the Business Combination?, page 4

Staff comment: We note the tax opinion is “more likely than not.” Please explain in the opinion why counsel cannot give a “will” opinion and describe the degree of uncertainty in the opinion. Also, provide a risk factor and/or other appropriate disclosure setting forth the risks of uncertain tax treatment to investors.

Response: The Registrants acknowledge the Staff’s comment, but respectfully refer the Staff to the disclosure under the heading “—Material Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences of the Merger” (among other places) that clearly provides that it is the opinion of Kirkland & Ellis LLP that the exchange of shares of Domesticated ABIC Common Stock for shares of HoldCo Common Stock pursuant to the Merger will constitute a tax-deferred transaction pursuant to Section 351 of the Code and the risk factor under “—Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Common Stock — There may be tax consequences of the Business Combination that adversely affect ABIC warrant holders,” which describes the risks to holders of Domesticated ABIC Warrants if the Merger does not qualify as a reorganization. While the Registrants acknowledge that the Registration Statement states that Kirkland & Ellis LLP will only provide an opinion at a “more likely than not” level of comfort with

respect to the Merger’s qualification as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code, (i) as described in greater detail in the Registration Statement, whether the Merger qualifies as a “reorganization” does not affect the availability of tax-deferral for holders of Domesticated ABIC Common Stock, though it does affect the taxation of holders of Domesticated ABIC Warrants, and (ii) the Registration Statement currently includes an entire paragraph under the heading “—Material Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences of the Merger” describing the factual and legal uncertainty regarding the qualification of the Merger as a “reorganization” as well as consequences to holders of Domesticated ABIC Warrants if the Merger fails to so qualify and a related risk factor. However, in response to the Staff’s comments, the Registrants have modified this existing risk factor and the disclosure under the heading “—Material Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences of the Merger” to clarify the risk to holders of Domesticated ABIC Warrants if the Merger fails to qualify as a “reorganization.”

LiveWire then provided such prospective financial information to the ABIC Board, ABIC’s financial advisors and potential PIPE Investors in connection with their evaluation of the Business Combination. LiveWire believes that its provision of this prospective financial information was necessary in order to allow these constituencies to complete an analysis with respect to the Business Combination.
