Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A Risk Factors

 

If we continue our life beyond 36 months from the closing of our IPO. . ., page 13

 

We acknowledge your revised disclosures in response to our prior comment 1. Please revise, including in the risk factor heading, to disclose that Nasdaq Rule 5815 was amended effective October 7, 2024 to provide for the immediate suspension and delisting upon issuance of a delisting determination letter for failure to meet the 36-month requirement in Nasdaq Rule IM 5101-2(b) to complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the date of effectiveness of your IPO registration statement, and that your securities will face immediate suspension and delisting action once you receive a delisting determination letter from Nasdaq after the 36-month window ends on October 28, 2024. Please disclose the risks of non-compliance with this rule, including that under the new framework, Nasdaq may only reverse the determination if it finds it made a factual error applying the applicable rule. Please also further revise your disclosure to discuss additional consequences of any such suspension or delisting, including that your stock may be determined to be a penny stock and the consequences of that designation, and any impact on your shareholders due to your securities no longer being considered covered securities.

 

Response: The Company has revised the disclosure on page 13 of the Amended Proxy Statement in accordance with the Staff’s comment.

 

 

Please call me at 212 407-4866 if you would like additional information with respect to any of the foregoing. Thank you.

 

 

 

Sincerely,
