Cover Page

 

1.            Disclose the price that the selling securityholders paid for the ordinary shares being registered for resale.

 

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on the cover page of Amendment No. 1.

 

2.            Disclose the exercise price of the warrants compared to the market price of the underlying ordinary shares. If the warrants are out the money, please disclose the likelihood that warrant holders will not exercise their warrants. Provide similar disclosure in the prospectus summary, risk factors, MD&A and use of proceeds section and disclose that cash proceeds associated with the exercises of the warrants are dependent on the stock price. As applicable, describe the impact on your liquidity and update the discussion on the ability of your company to fund your operations on a prospective basis with your current cash on hand.

 

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on the cover page as well as pages 3, 7, 9, 10 and 14 of Amendment No. 1.

 

3.            We note the significant number of redemptions of Class A common stock in connection with your business combination and that the ordinary shares being registered for resale will constitute a considerable percentage of your public float. Highlight the significant negative impact sales of ordinary shares on this registration statement could have on the public trading price of your ordinary shares.

 

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on the cover page as well as pages 3, 7, 9 and 10 of Amendment No. 1.

 

Risk Factors, page 9

 

4.            Include an additional risk factor highlighting the negative pressure potential sales of shares pursuant to this registration statement could have on the public trading price of the ordinary shares. To illustrate this risk, disclose the purchase price of the securities being registered for resale and the percentage that these shares currently represent of the total number of shares outstanding..

 

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on pages 9 and 10 of Amendment No. 1.

 

General

 

5.            In light of the significant number of redemptions and the possibility that the company may not receive significant proceeds from exercises of the warrants if there is a disparity between the exercise price of the warrants and the trading price of the ordinary shares, expand your disclosure in an appropriate location of your prospectus to address any changes in the company’s liquidity position since the business combination. If the company is likely to have to seek additional capital, discuss the effect of this offering on the company’s ability to raise additional capital.
