In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.

The ordinary shares are subject to ASC 480-10-S99.

The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately.
