$52,500,000. The Company has granted EBC, the representative of
the underwriters, a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional

purchased by the Companys Sponsor and 26,250 units being
purchased by EarlyBirdCapital) in the aggregate (Private

Private Units consist of one Ordinary Share (Private
Share
), one right (Private Right) and
one half (1/2) of one warrant (Private Warrant).

Units and underlying securities sold in the IPO except that (1)
the Private Units were purchased to an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the Securities Act), and will become
tradable only after certain conditions are met or the resale of
the Private Units is registered under the Securities Act; (2) the
Private Warrants will be non-redeemable and may be exercised on a
cashless basis, in each case so long as they continue to be held
by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees; and (3)
with certain limited exceptions, the Private Units will not be
transferable, assignable or salable by the initial purchasers or
their permitted transferees until after the completion of a
Business Combination. If the Private Warrants are held by holders
other than the holders who purchased Private Units or their
permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by
the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as
the Warrants sold in the IPO.

In connection with the IPO, the Company also issued to EBC an
option to purchase up to a total of 157,500 additional Units
exercisable at $10.00 per Unit commencing on the later of the
consummation of a Business Combination and one year from the date
of the prospectus relating to the IPO. The Units issuable upon
exercise of this option are identical to those offered by the IPO
except that the units, if the purchase option is exercised, will
be purchased to an exemption from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act and will become tradable only after certain
conditions are met or the resale of the Units is registered under
the Securities Act.
