Please explain why you believe you are able to register the issuance of 4,558,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the sponsor warrants as well as the resale by the selling securityholders of 66,314,647 shares of common stock in light of the general prohibition against adding securities by means of a post-effective amendment contained in Securities Act Rule 413(a).
