In connection with the management’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 210-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” our management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through the earlier of the liquidation date or the completion of the initial Business Combination. We plan to address this uncertainty through a consummating the proposed Business Combination with RET or another Business Combination. There is no assurance that our plans to consummate the proposed Business Combination with RET or another Business Combination will be successful or successful within the Combination Period (September 25, 2024). The unaudited condensed financial statements included in this Report do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
