Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed June 16, 2023

 

General

 

1. Please revise to clarify the reasons for the Founder Share Amendment Proposal, including why the Company believes that the amendment may aid the Company in retaining investors and meeting continued listing requirements, and why the Company believes that it may be more difficult to complete a business combination without the Founder Share Amendment.  Similarly, please revise to clarify why significant requests for redemption in the event the Founder Share Amendment Proposal is not approved may prevent the Company from being able to extend the time available to consummate a business combination.  We note your related disclosures on page 30, and your disclosure on page 14 that in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, public stockholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their public shares regardless of whether they vote for or against the Extension Amendment Proposal.  In addition, please identify any related conflicts of interest of the Sponsor with respect to the Founder Share Amendment Proposal. 

 

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure throughout the Amended Proxy Statement in accordance with the Staff’s comment.

 

Thank you very much for your time and attention to this matter and please call me at 212.407.4866 if you would like additional information with respect to any of the foregoing.

 

Sincerely,
