Risk Factors

The mutual termination of BofA Securities’ engagements, page 88

 

2.

Refer to your responses to comments 2 and 8 of our letter dated June 6, 2022. Please revise the statement in the caption and the second paragraph on page 89 that the termination of the engagements “may indicate that [the financial advisor] is unwilling to be associated with the disclosure” given that the resignation notice disclaims responsibility for any part of the registration statement and the financial advisor has declined to review or say that it agrees or disagrees with the disclosure. Please similarly revise the sixth bullet point on page 70 and the cross-reference on page 156.

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the Registration Statement in response. Please see pages 51, 196 and 243 of the Amended Registration Statement.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information, page 240

Refer to your response to comment 12. We note that prior to the Business Combination, the Class D-1 equity interest was entitled to a 49.37% distribution of the results of TIG Arbitrage Fund and that after the Business Combination in accordance with the terms of a provisional agreement, the Class D-1 equity interest holder will be entitled to the same economic benefits but as an employee of the TIG Entities. Consistent with the basis of your Pro Forma condensed combined balance sheet and Pro Forma condensed combined statements of operations which give pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on March 31, 2022 and January 1, 2021, respectively, please adjust your Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information to reflect the TIG Arbitrage Class D- 1 equity interest to a 49.3% distribution of the TIG Arbitrage Fund. Refer to Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information to reflect the distribution related to the current TIG Arbitrage Class D-1 equity interest as a 49.3% distribution of the TIG Arbitrage Fund. See pages 247 to 250 of the Amended Registration Statement and accompanying notes.

Please disclose the underlying calculation of $3,032 million adjustment (e) on page 275 and how it represents the pro forma 38% economic interest and 51% economic interest the non-controlling shareholders will hold in Class B common units in Umbrella under the No Redemptions and Maximum Redemptions scenarios, respectively.

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised footnote (e) (now footnote (f)) to the Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 on page 265 to disclose the underlying calculation and how it represents the pro forma economic interest that the non-controlling shareholders will hold in Class B common units in Umbrella under the No Redemptions and Maximum Redemptions scenarios.

We acknowledge your response to comment 9. Please clarify, if true, that the Alvarium, TIG Entities and TWMH Closing Cash Adjustment represents the cash surplus distribution made to these shareholder immediately prior to Closing consistent with adjustment (j) on page 274 of $16.4 million.

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and notes that the cash surplus distribution is a function of the overall Closing Cash Adjustments. The Company has removed the pro forma adjustment (j) from Cash and cash equivalents and Additional paid-in-capital to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheets as it is already included within the Companies’ Equity Value. See pages 247 to 248 of the Amended Registration Statement.
