Amendment No. 3 to Registratiion Statement on Form S-1 filed March 5, 2021 Forward Purchase Arrangement, page 105 1. You disclose here and elsewhere that "Subject to the conditions in the forward purchase agreement, the purchase of the forward purchase shares will be a binding obligation of Aldel Capital LLC...." However, we note from the revisions to Section 1.01 in the version of the FPA which you filed as exhibit 10.9 on February 26th that Aldel Capital LLC (or its affiliates) may "at its discretion" choose to purchase no forward purchase shares and instead solely to invest cash in the target company prior to the closing of the business combination. Therefore, please revise references to the "binding obligation" to purchase such shares such that they more precisely reflect the nature of the agreement. Robert I. Kauffman Aldel Financial Inc.
