2.Please clarify that the public shareholders will not have the opportunity to vote if the board extends the period of time to consummate the business combination for up to 18 months.

 

We have revised the cover page of the prospectus included in the Registration Statement as requested.

 

3.Please clarify on page iii whether your sponsors are located in China. We note your disclosure on page 117 that Na Gai is the sole director and shareholder of Createcharm Holdings Ltd.

 

We have revised the disclosure on page iii as requested to indicate that neither of the Company’s sponsors are domiciled in China. As indicated on page 1 of the Registration Statement, Createcharm Holdings Ltd is a British Virgin Islands company and Bowen Holding LP is a Delaware limited partnership.

 

Risk Factors, page 29

 

4.Please include a risk factor that describes the potential material effect on your shareholders of the stock buyback excise tax enacted as part of the Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022. If applicable, include in your disclosure that the excise tax could reduce the trust account funds available to pay redemptions or that are available to the combined company following a de-SPAC. Describe the risks of the excise tax applying to redemptions in connection with:

 

liquidations that are not implemented to fall within the meaning of “complete liquidation” in Section 331 of the Internal Revenue Code;
extensions, depending on the timing of the extension relative to the when the SPAC completes a de-SPAC or liquidates, and
de-SPACs, depending on the structure of the de-SPAC transaction.

 

Also describe, if applicable, the risk that if existing SPAC investors elect to redeem their shares such that their redemptions would subject the SPAC to the stock buyback excise tax, the remaining shareholders that did not elect to redeem may economically bear the impact of the excise tax.

 

We have revised the disclosure on page 31 of the Registration Statement as requested.
