Explanation of Responses:

1. As described in the issuer's registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-248939 (the "Registration Statement") under the heading "Description of Securities--Founder Shares," the shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, will automatically be converted into shares common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at the time of the issuer's initial business combination, on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments described therein and have no expiration date.

2. These shares represent common stock held by Mallard Founders Holdings, LLC (the "Sponsor") acquired pursuant to a subscription agreement by and between the Sponsor and the issuer.

3. As contemplated in connection with the initial public offering of the issuer, 412,500 shares of common stock of the issuer were returned by the Sponsor to the issuer for no consideration and cancelled because the underwriters' over-allotment option was not exercised.

4. Mr. John F. Kirtley is a managing member of the Sponsor and has voting and investment discretion with respect to the securities held by the Sponsor. As such, he may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock held directly by the Sponsor.
