Description of Securities
Contractual transfer restrictions, page 147

5.
Staff’s Comment: Please reconcile your disclosures here and elsewhere regarding the duration of the transfer restrictions applicable to the founder shares. More specifically, we note several references to “the restriction not to transfer the founder shares for 180 days following the date of this prospectus,” which is inconsistent with the transfer restriction lasting, in part, until one year after the completion of your initial business combination.

Response: Registrant acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on page 149 and throughout the Amendment accordingly to clarify the disclosure related to the transfer restrictions included in the letter agreement and the underwriting agreement.

We hope that the foregoing has been responsive to the Staff’s comments. If you have any questions related to this letter, please contact Christian O. Nagler (by telephone at (212) 446-4660 or by email at christian.nagler@kirkland.com), Peter Seligson (by telephone at (212) 446-4756 or by email at peter.seligson@kirkland.com) or Mathieu Kohmann (by telephone at (212) 390-4510 or by email at mathieu.kohmann@kirkland.com) of Kirkland & Ellis LLP.
