The Company has updated the Registration Statement Amendment 3 and is filing a further amended registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement Amendment 4”) together with this response letter. The Registration Statement 4 also contains certain additional updates and revisions.

 

For the convenience of the Staff, each comment from the Comment Letter is restated in italics prior to the Company’s response to such comment. All references to page numbers and captions in the Staff’s comments correspond to pages and captions in the Registration Statement Amendment 3.

1.With reference to your disclosures on page ix and at the bottom of page 4, please revise the Q&A, Risk Factor and Summary Risk Factor sections to highlight risks and uncertainties concerning the Closing Cash condition, potential financing agreements, and the combined company’s ability to fund its operations to September 30, 2023 and beyond. As applicable, discuss risks and uncertainties if shareholders are asked to make voting and redemption decisions without knowing the terms contained in Interim Financing Agreements and other financings conducted prior to closing. Discuss the combined company’s liquidity position and related risks in the event that the merger closes without Interim Financing Agreements and other financings in place.

 

Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comments and has revised the disclosure on pages x, xviii, xx, xxi, 31, 32, 72, 73, 77, 86, 87, and 116 of the Registration Statement Amendment 4.
