FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 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. 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, our:

· our status as a shell company;

· our selection of a prospective target business or asset;

· our issuance of our capital shares or incurrence of debt to complete a business transaction;

· our ability to consummate an attractive business transaction due to our limited resources and the significant competition for business transaction opportunities;

· conflicts of interest of our officers and directors;

· potential current or future affiliations of our officers and directors with competing businesses;

· our ability to obtain additional financing if necessary;

· our sponsor’s ability to control or influence the outcome of matters requiring shareholder approval due to its substantial interest in us;

· the adverse effect on the market price our ordinary shares due to the existence of registration rights with respect to the securities owned by our sponsor;

· the lack of a market for our securities;

· our being deemed an investment company;

· our dependence on our key personnel;

· our dependence on a single company after our business transaction;

· environmental, permitting and other regulatory risks;

· foreign currency fluctuations and overall political risk in foreign jurisdictions;

· our operating and capital expenditures;

· our competitive position; and

· expected results of operations and/or financial position.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking events we discuss in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speak only as of the date of such statement and might not occur in light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Except as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation and disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
