| 1. | Staff’s comment: We note the disclosure that you may seek shareholder approval to amend the amended and restated memorandum and articles of incorporation to extend the time period available to complete an initial business combination. You then state that "public shareholders will be offered the opportunity to vote on or redeem their shares in connection with any such extension." Please explain why shareholders will not be offered the opportunity to vote on and redeem their shares in connection with such extension. |
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on the cover page to reflect that shareholders will be offered the opportunity to vote on and redeem their shares in connection with an extension.
| 2. | Staff’s comment: We note the disclosure on page 120 that holders of class B ordinary shares are the only shareholders entitled to vote for the appointment or removal of directors. Please revise the cover page to clearly disclose these disparate voting rights. Please also reconcile the disclosure on page 120 with the disclosure on page 18, which states that class A and class B ordinary shares vote together as a class, except as required by law. |
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on the cover page and throughout the prospectus to reflect that, except as required by law, class A and class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters including the election of directors.
