       Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed December 7, 2022

       General

   1.                                                   With a view toward
disclosure, please tell us whether your sponsor is, is controlled by, has
                                                        any members who are, or
has substantial ties with, a non-U.S. person. Also revise your
                                                        filing to include risk
factor disclosure that addresses how this fact could impact your
                                                        ability to complete
your initial business combination. For instance, discuss the risk to
                                                        investors that you may
not be able to complete an initial business combination with a
                                                        target company should
the transaction be subject to review by a U.S. government entity,
                                                        such as the Committee
on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately
                                                        prohibited. Disclose
that as a result, the pool of potential targets with which you could
                                                        complete an initial
business combination may be limited. Further, disclose that the time
                                                        necessary for
government review of the transaction or a decision to prohibit the
                                                        transaction could
prevent you from completing an initial business combination and require
                                                        you to liquidate.
Disclose the consequences of liquidation to investors, such as the losses
