Contemporaneously, we are submitting Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-1 via Edgar (the “Amended S-1”).

The Staff’s comments are repeated below in bold and are followed by the Company’s response which is also reflected in the Amended S-1. Please note that in addition to the changes made in response to the Staff’s comments, the Amended S-1 reflects substantial changes in the amount and the terms of the Company’s proposed offering.

Our Acquisition Process

3.We note your intention to engage third parties “when needed” in seeking an appropriate acquisition target. Disclose whether you are limited as to how much of the proceeds from this offering can be used to pay for the services of such third parties.

 

The Company would only be able to pay third parties out of the proceeds from the offering that are not held within the trust. The disclosure on page 7 has been revised to affirmatively state that. In addition, footnote 3 to the “Use of Proceeds” discloses that the Company may incur expenses in connection with identifying, structuring and negotiating a business combination and such expenses will be paid from funds outside of the trust or working capital loans.

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

4.We note that I-Bankers will be purchasing 1,000,000 warrants in the offering and transferring those warrants to the sponsors. Please explain the business reasons for structuring this purchase in this manner.

 

The terms of the offering have been changed and this proposed term has been eliminated.

Underwriting,

5.Explain the difference between, and business purpose behind, the Representative’s Shares and Founder Shares being issued to I-Bankers.

 

The terms of the offering have been changed and I-Bankers will no longer be participating in the private placement or receiving a grant of founders shares. The Representative’s Shares are being issued to I-Bankers as partial compensation for their services in connection with the offering.

Sincerely,

/s/ Mitchell S. Nussbaum
