  the filing of Exhibit 8.1; however, the tax opinion appears to be focused on the initial merger qualifying as an F Reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. In light of the requirements of Item 601(b)(8) of Regulation S-K, please revise to discuss the tax consequences to investors and representations related to those tax consequences. Please revise this section and the tax opinion accordingly.

In response to the Staff’s comment, and pursuant to our discussion with the Staff on August 22, 2023, we have revised the Exhibit 8.1 opinion to address the material federal tax consequences of the transaction to the holders of Bridgetown securities.
