Dear Ms. Gorman:

 

Trailblazer Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) hereby transmits its response to the comment letter received from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 7, 2025 (“Comment Letter”) relating to the Registration Statement on Form S-1, submitted by the Company with the Commission on July 11, 2025 (the “Registration Statement”).

 

The Company has publicly filed via EDGAR its Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Amendment No. 1”), which reflects the Company’s responses to the Comment Letter received from the Staff and certain updated information. For the Staff’s convenience, we have repeated below the Staff’s comments in bold and have followed each comment with the Company’s response.

 

Registration Statement on Form S-1

Cover Page

 

1.We note your disclosure that you may pay finder's fees, advisory fees, consulting fees, success fees or salaries to your sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates. On page 36 and elsewhere, you refer to this fee only being paid to independent directors. Please revise your disclosure, as appropriate, to address this discrepancy. Please also describe the extent to which the conversion of the working capital loans into warrants and their cashless exercise, for example, may result in a material dilution of the purchasers' equity interests. See Item 1602(a)(3) of Regulation S-K. Please make similar revisions to your disclosure on pages 10 and 111. See Items 1602(b)(6) and 1603(a)(6) of Regulation S-K.

 

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has corrected the discrepancy by adding the disclosure from the cover page of Amendment No. 1 to pages 34, 141 and153. Additionally, the Company has added the additional disclosure regarding potential dilution from conversion of the working capital loans to the cover page and to pages 10 and 111 of Amendment No. 1.

 

2.When discussing conflicts of interest in paragraphs 6 and 7, please expand your

statement as to actual or potential material conflicts of interest between purchasers in the offering and the SPAC sponsor and its affiliates, to include promoters. Refer to Item 1602(a)(5) of Regulation S-K.

 

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

Please clarify how opportunities to acquire targets will be allocated among SPACs. Please make similar revisions to your disclosure on page 143. Please refer to Items 1602(b)(7) and 1603(b) of Regulation S-K.

Please revise the appropriate section or sections of your document to describe any experience your sponsor, officers and directors have had experience in organizing a SPAC. For each prior SPAC, please disclose any extensions of the time to complete the transaction and the level of redemptions in connection therewith, and information concerning any completed business combinations, including the financing needed for the transactions and the level of redemptions. See Item 1603(a)(3) of Regulation S-K. To the extent your sponsor, officers and directors do not have experience in organizing SPACs, please add a separate risk factor highlighting this fact.

 

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises that the management team has no prior SPACs and has accordingly deleted the disclosure on page 115 of the Amendment No. 1.
