Company (Warrant), each whole Warrant entitling the holder
thereof to purchase one share of ClassA Common Stock at an
exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a

the private sale of 6,666,666 warrants (the Private Placement

except that the Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or
sell any of the Private Placement Warrants (except to certain
permitted transferees) until 30 days after the completion of the
Companys initial business combination. The Private Placement
Warrants are also not redeemable by the Company so long as they

proceeds from the IPO, including approximately $14,000,000 of the
underwriters deferred discount, and $8,000,000 of the proceeds of
the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, were placed in a
trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer Trust
Company, acting as trustee. Except with respect to interest

the Company to fund regulatory compliance requirements and other
costs related thereto, subject to an annual limit of $750,000,
for a maximum of 24 months, and/or to pay its franchise and
