Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 Filed July 12, 2021 General 1. We note your disclosure that your anchor investors have each indicated an interest in purchasing up to 9.9% of the units in the offering, up to an aggregate of approximately $100 million of units in this offering. Revise your disclosure to identify the anchor investors. In light of the significant number of units that will be purchased if each of the anchor investors fulfills their commitment, also revise your disclosures elsewhere in the prospectus to reflect the total number and percentage of shares that may be held by the anchor investors, your sponsor and officers and directors, with a view to putting into context statements such as "a smaller portion of affirmative votes from other public shareholders would be required to approve [y]our initial business combination."
