Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its franchise and income tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the funds held in the trust account will not be released from the trust account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of any shares of Class A Common Stock included in the Units sold in the IPO (“public shares”) properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s Amended Charter to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (iii) the redemption of 100% of the Company’s public shares if the Company is unable to complete an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, subject to applicable law.
