Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that it has revised its disclosure on pages 77 and 78 to address the Staff’s comment.

 

Capitalization, page 83

 

9. Please It appears you have classified the private and public warrants as equity. Please provide us with your analysis under ASC 815-40 to support your accounting treatment for these warrants. As part of your analysis, please address whether there are any terms or provisions in the warrant agreement that provide for potential changes to the settlement amounts that are dependent upon the characteristics of the holder of the warrant, and if so, how you analyzed those provisions in accordance with the guidance in ASC 815-40. Your response should address, but not be limited to, your disclosure that “the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or such purchasers’ permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Initial Shareholders or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.”

 

Response: The Company will account for the warrants to be issued in connection with the Proposed Public Offering and the Private Placement in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Both Private Placement and Public Warrants are classified as equity because the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock as discussed in ASC 815-40-15-7, thus meeting criteria for equity classification listed under ASC 815-40-25-10. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Proposed Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. In addition, Private warrants contain the same settlement provisions as public warrants i.e. Private warrants do not contain any provisions that change the settlement depending on the holder of the warrants.

 

The Company has revised its disclosure on page F-15 with respect to the Public and Private Warrants to align with the above.
