Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A

General

 

1.

With a view toward disclosure, please tell us whether your sponsor is, is controlled by, or has substantial ties with a non-U.S. person. If so, also include risk factor disclosure that addresses how this fact could impact your ability to complete your initial business combination. For instance, discuss the risk to investors that you may not be able to complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company should the transaction be subject to review by a U.S. government entity, such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited. Disclose that as a result, the pool of potential targets with which you could complete an initial business combination may be limited. Further, disclose that the time necessary for government review of the transaction or a decision to prohibit the transaction could prevent you from completing an initial business combination and require you to liquidate. Disclose the consequences of liquidation to investors, such as the losses of the investment opportunity in a target company, any price appreciation in the combined company, and the warrants, which would expire worthless.

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and respectfully advises the Staff that the Sponsor is not, is not controlled by, and has no substantial ties with a non-U.S. person.


May 3, 2023

We hope that the foregoing has been responsive to the Staff’s comments and look forward to resolving any outstanding issues as quickly as possible.

Please direct any questions or comments regarding the foregoing to Steven B. Stokdyk of Latham & Watkins LLP at (213) 891-7421 or Steven.Stokdyk@lw.com.

 

Very truly yours,

/s/ Steven B. Stokdyk
