Important factors, among others, that may affect actual results or outcomes include, but are not limited to: the risk that the transactions may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of the SPAC’s securities; the risk that the SPAC shareholders’ approval of the Business Combination is not obtained; the inability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, the amount of funds available in the SPAC’s trust account following any redemptions by the SPAC shareholders; the failure to receive certain governmental and regulatory approvals; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; changes in general economic or business conditions; the outcome of litigation related to or arising out of the Business Combination, or any adverse developments therein or delays or costs resulting therefrom; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on the SPAC’s or the Company’s respective business relationships, operating results, and businesses generally; the ability of the Company to meet Nasdaq’s listing standards in connection with and following the consummation of the Business Combination; costs related to the Business Combination; that the price of the Company’s securities may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including the SPAC’s or the Company’s inability to implement their respective business plans or meet or exceed their financial projections and changes in the combined capital structure; the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the Business Combination, and identify and realize additional opportunities; and the ability of the Company to implement its strategic initiatives.

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the SPAC’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-280564), in the Registration Statement (once available), and in the other documents filed or that may be filed by the SPAC from time to time with the SEC following the date hereof. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.
