Previous wording

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertakingin-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance date of these financial statements. Management plans to complete a business combination or raise additional capital; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in doing so.
