For the Staff’s convenience, we have repeated below each of the Staff’s comments in bold and have followed such comments with the Company’s response. All page references in the responses set forth below refer to page numbers in the Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 3”).

Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus
Debt Financing and Equity Commitments, page 35

1. We note that the Business Combination will involve both the PIPE and Backstop Investment and the Credit Facility. Please disclose, if true, that this combination of financing mechanisms is not currently common for a SPAC business combination transaction. Also please disclose the Lender Warrants on your prospectus cover page.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised its disclosure on the cover page and page 36 of Amendment No. 3.

2. We note your disclosure that under the PIPE and Backstop Subscription Agreement, the PIPE and Backstop Investor may acquire shares in the open market. Please tell us whether the PIPE and Backstop Investor is an “affiliate” as defined in Rule 14e-5, and if so, tell us how this arrangement complies with Rule 14e-5.

We respectfully advise the staff that the PIPE and Backstop Investor is not an “affiliate” as defined in Rule 14e-5. We have revised the disclosure on page 36 of Amendment No. 3 to clarify.
