This Report (as defined below), including, without limitation, statements under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act (as defined below) and Section 21E of the Exchange Act (as defined below). These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the words “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” “potential,” “projects,” “predicts,” “continue,” or “should,” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. There can be no assurance that actual results will not materially differ from expectations. Such statements include, but are not limited to, any statements relating to our ability to consummate any acquisition or other business combination and any other statements that are not statements of current or historical facts. These statements are based on management’s current expectations, but actual results may differ materially due to various factors, including, but not limited to:
| ● | we are a recently formed company without an operating history; |
| ● | our public stockholders may experience delay in receiving distributions from our trust account; |
| ● | our public stockholders may have a lack of opportunity to vote on our proposed business combination; |
| ● | the lack of protections afforded to investors of blank check companies; |

| ● | any failure to enforce our sponsor’s indemnification obligations; |
| ● | warrant holders limited to exercising warrants only on a “cashless basis;” |
| ● | the ability of warrant holders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with our company; |
| ● | our dependence on key personnel; |
| ● | conflicts of interest of our sponsor, officers and directors; |
| ● | the delisting of our securities by Nasdaq and risks associated with trading our securities in the over-the-counter market; |
| ● | our dependence on a single target business with a limited number of products or services; |
| ● | our stockholders’ inability to vote or redeem their shares in connection with our extensions; |
| ● | shares of Class A common stock being redeemed and warrants becoming worthless; |
| ● | our competitors with advantages over us in seeking business combinations; |
| ● | our ability to obtain additional financing; |
| ● | our initial stockholders controlling a substantial interest in us; |
| ● | the warrants’ adverse effect on the market price of our common stock; |
ii
| ● | disadvantageous timing for redeeming warrants; |
| ● | registration rights’ adverse effect on the market price of our common stock; |
| ● | a business combination with a company located in a foreign jurisdiction; |
| ● | changes in laws or regulations; |
| ● | tax consequences to business combinations; and |
| ● | exclusive forum provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. |
The forward-looking statements contained in this Report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. Future developments affecting us may not be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
