    We may engage one or more of our underwriters or one of their respective affiliates to provide additional services to us after our initial public offering, which may include acting as M&A advisor in connection with an initial business combination or as placement agent in connection with a related financing transaction, as we have engaged Cantor in connection with the Proposed Business Combination. Our underwriters are entitled to receive deferred underwriting commissions that will be released from the Trust Account only upon a completion of an initial business combination. These financial incentives may cause them to have potential conflicts of interest in rendering any such additional services to us, including, for example, in connection with the sourcing and consummation of an initial business combination.

    We may engage one or more of our underwriters or one of their respective affiliates to provide additional services to us, including, for example, identifying potential targets, providing M&A advisory services, acting as a placement agent in a private offering or arranging debt financing transactions, as we have engaged Cantor in connection with the Proposed Business Combination. We will pay such underwriter or its affiliate fair and reasonable fees or other compensation that would be determined at that time in an arm's length negotiation. The underwriters are also entitled to receive deferred underwriting commissions that are conditioned on the completion of an initial business combination. The underwriters' or their respective affiliates' financial interests tied to the consummation of a business combination transaction may give rise to potential conflicts of interest in providing any such additional services to us, including potential conflicts of interest in connection with the sourcing and consummation of an initial business combination. The underwriters are under no obligation pursuant to the underwriting agreement to provide any further services to us in order to receive all or any part of the deferred underwriting commissions.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    We may not be able to complete the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination within the completion window, in which case we would redeem our Public Shares.

    We may not be able to complete the Proposed Business Combination, or if we do not complete the Proposed Business Combination, find a suitable target business and complete another initial business combination within the completion window. In recent years, a number of SPACs have liquidated due to an inability to complete an initial business combination within their allotted time periods. Furthermore, our ability to complete our initial business combination may be negatively impacted by general market conditions, volatility in the capital and debt markets and the other risks described herein, including the impact of events such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East. If we have not completed the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination within such time period, we will as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us for permitted withdrawals (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay liquidation expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will constitute full and complete payment for the Public Shares and completely extinguish Public Shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation or other distributions, if any), subject to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and subject to the other requirements of applicable law. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that, if we wind up for any other reason prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, we will follow the foregoing procedures with respect to the liquidation of the Trust Account as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to applicable Cayman Islands law. In either case, our Public Shareholders may receive only $10.00 per Public Share, or less than $10.00 per Public Share, on the redemption of their shares, and our rights will expire worthless. See "- If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per Public Share" and other risk factors herein.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    We may decide not to extend the term we have to consummate an initial business combination, in which case we would redeem our Public Shares, and the rights will be worthless.

    We have until the date that is 24 months from the closing of our IPO or until such earlier liquidation date as our board of directors may approve, to consummate the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination. If we anticipate that we may be unable to consummate the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination within such period, we may seek shareholder approval to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which we must consummate an initial business combination. However, we may decide not to seek to extend the date by which we must consummate an initial business combination. If we do not seek to extend the date by which we must consummate an initial business combination, and we are unable to consummate the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination within the applicable time period, we will, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us for permitted withdrawals (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay liquidation expenses), subject to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the rights will be worthless.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, as we intend to do in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, our Sponsor, initial shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and/or their affiliates may elect to purchase shares or public rights from Public Shareholders, which may influence a vote on the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination and reduce the public "float" of our Class A Ordinary Shares or Public Rights.

    If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, as we intend to do in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our Sponsor, initial shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and/or their affiliates may purchase Public Shares, rights or equity-linked securities in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of the Proposed Business Combination or such other initial business combination, although they are under no obligation or duty to do so. Any such price per share may be different than the amount per share a Public Shareholder would receive if it elected to redeem its shares in connection with the Proposed Business Combination or such other initial business combination. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgment that such shareholder, although still the record holder of our shares is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that our Sponsor, initial shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and/or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their Public Shares. It is intended that, if Rule 10b-18 would apply to purchases by the Sponsor, initial shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and/or their affiliates, then such purchases will comply with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, to the extent it applies, which provides a safe harbor for purchases made under certain conditions, including with respect to timing, pricing and volume of purchases. Additionally, at any time at or prior to the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), our Sponsor, initial shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and/or their affiliates may enter into transactions with investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares, vote their Public Shares in favor of the Proposed Business Combination or such other initial business combination or not redeem their Public Shares. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase securities in such transactions. The purpose of any such transactions could be to (1) increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the initial business combination, (2) reduce the number of public rights outstanding and/or increase the likelihood of approval on any matters submitted to the public rights holders for approval in connection with the initial business combination or (3) satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of the initial business combination, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of an initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public "float" of our securities may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. Additionally, in the event our Sponsor, initial shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and/or their affiliates were to purchase Public Shares or rights from Public Shareholders, such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act including, in pertinent part, through adherence to the following: - our registration statement/proxy statement filed for the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination transaction would disclose the possibility that our Sponsor, initial shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and/or their affiliates may purchase Public Shares or rights from Public Shareholders outside the redemption process, along with the purpose of such purchases;- if our Sponsor, initial shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and/or their affiliates were to purchase Public Shares or rights from Public Shareholders, they would do so at a price no higher than the price offered through our redemption process;- our registration statement/proxy statement filed for the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination transaction would include a representation that any of our securities purchased by our Sponsor, initial shareholders, directors, officers, advisors and/or their affiliates would not be voted in favor of approving the Proposed Business Combination or such other business combination transaction;- our Sponsor, initial shareholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates would not possess any rights to redeem any of our securities so acquired in connection with the business combination transaction and, if they do acquire and possess redemption rights, they would waive such rights with respect to the business combination transaction; and - we would disclose in a Form 8-K, before our security holder meeting to approve the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination, the following material items: - the amount of our securities purchased outside of the redemption offer by our Sponsor, initial shareholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates, along with the purchase price;- the purpose of the purchases by our Sponsor, initial shareholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates;- the impact, if any, of the purchases by our Sponsor, initial shareholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates on the likelihood that the Proposed Business Combination or such other business combination transaction will be approved;- the identities of our security holders who sold to our Sponsor, initial shareholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of our security holders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold to our Sponsor, initial shareholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates; and - the number of our securities for which we have received redemption requests pursuant to our redemption offer.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    If a shareholder fails to receive notice of our offer to redeem our Public Shares in connection with our initial business combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for submitting or tendering its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.

    We will comply with the proxy rules or tender offer rules, as applicable, when conducting redemptions in connection with our initial business combination, including the Proposed Business Combination. Despite our compliance with these rules, if a shareholder fails to receive our proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, such shareholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem its Public Shares. In addition, proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, that we will furnish to holders of our Public Shares in connection with our initial business combination, including the Proposed Business Combination, will describe the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly tender or submit Public Shares for redemption. For example, we intend to require our Public Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in "street name," to, at the holder's option, either deliver their share certificates to our transfer agent, or to deliver their shares to our transfer agent electronically prior to the date set forth in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable. In the case of proxy materials, this date may be up to two business days prior to the initial scheduled date of the general meeting to approve the initial business combination, as it will be in connection with the Proposed Business Combination. In addition, if we conduct redemptions in connection with a shareholder vote, as we intend to do in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, we intend to require a Public Shareholder seeking redemption of its Public Shares to also submit a written request for redemption to our transfer agent two business days prior to the initial scheduled date of the general meeting to approve the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination in which the name of the beneficial owner of such shares is included. In the event that a shareholder fails to comply with these or any other procedures disclosed in the proxy or tender offer materials, as applicable, its shares may not be redeemed.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    You will not be entitled to protections normally afforded to investors of other blank check companies subject to Rule 419 of the Securities Act.

    Since the net proceeds of our IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units are intended to be used to complete one or more initial business combinations with a target business or businesses that have not been selected, we may be deemed to be a "blank check" company under the United States securities laws. However, because we have net tangible assets in excess of $5,000,000 and have filed a Current Report on Form 8-K, including an audited balance sheet demonstrating this fact, we are exempt from rules promulgated by the SEC to protect investors in blank check companies, such as Rule 419. Accordingly, investors will not be afforded the benefits or protections of those rules. Among other things, this means our units will be immediately tradable and we will have a longer period of time to complete our respective business combinations than do companies subject to Rule 419.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, as we intend to do in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, and we do not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, and if you or a "group" of shareholders are deemed to hold in excess of 15% of the then-outstanding Public Shares, you will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of the then-outstanding Public Shares.

    If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, as we intend to do in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which we refer to as the "Excess Shares," without our prior consent. However, we would not be restricting our shareholders' ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination. Your inability to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce your influence over our ability to complete the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination and you could suffer a material loss on your investment in us if you sell Excess Shares in open market transactions. Additionally, you will not receive redemption distributions with respect to the Excess Shares if we complete the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination. And as a result, you will continue to hold those Excess Shares and, in order to dispose of such shares, would be required to sell your shares in open market transactions, potentially at a loss.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8
    Your only opportunity to effect your investment decision regarding the Proposed Business Combination or another potential business combination may be limited to the exercise of your right to redeem your shares from us for cash.

    Since our board of directors may complete a business combination without seeking shareholder approval, Public Shareholders may not have the right or opportunity to vote on the business combination, unless we seek such shareholder vote, as we intend to do in connection with the Proposed Business Combination. Accordingly, your only opportunity to effect your investment decision regarding our initial business combination may be limited to exercising your redemption rights within the period of time (which will be at least 20 business days) set forth in our tender offer documents mailed to our Public Shareholders in which we describe our initial business combination. The amount of the deferred underwriting commissions payable to the underwriters will not be adjusted for any Public Shares that are redeemed in connection with an initial business combination. The per share amount we will distribute to Public Shareholders who properly exercise their redemption rights will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commission and after such redemptions, the per-share value of shares held by non-redeeming shareholders will reflect our obligation to pay the deferred underwriting commissions.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9
    The ability of our Public Shareholders to redeem their Public Shares for cash may make our financial condition unattractive to potential business combination targets, which may make it difficult for us to enter into a business combination with a target, if we do not complete the Proposed Business Combination.

    If we do not complete the Proposed Business Combination, and instead seek to complete another initial business combination, we may seek to enter into a business combination transaction agreement with a minimum cash requirement for (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions. If too many Public Shareholders exercise their redemption rights, we would not be able to meet such closing condition and, as a result, would not be able to proceed with the business combination. Consequently, if accepting all properly submitted redemption requests would not allow us to satisfy a closing condition as described above, we would not proceed with such redemption and the related business combination and may instead search for an alternate business combination. Prospective targets will be aware of these risks and, thus, may be reluctant to enter into a business combination transaction with us.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 10
    The ability of our Public Shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our shares and the amount of deferred underwriting compensation may not allow us to complete the most desirable business combination or optimize our capital structure, and may substantially dilute your investment in us.

    At the time we enter into an agreement for our initial business combination, including the Business Combination Agreement, we will not know how many shareholders may exercise their redemption rights, and therefore will need to structure the transaction based on our expectations as to the number of shares that will be submitted for redemption. If our initial business combination agreement requires us to use a portion of the cash in the Trust Account to pay the purchase price, or requires us to have a minimum amount of cash at closing, we will need to reserve a portion of the cash in the Trust Account to meet such requirements, or arrange for third party financing. In addition, if a larger number of shares are submitted for redemption than we initially expected, we may need to restructure the transaction to reserve a greater portion of the cash in the Trust Account or arrange for third party financing. Raising additional third-party financing may involve dilutive equity issuances or the incurrence of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels. Furthermore, this dilution would increase to the extent that the anti-dilution provision of the Class B Ordinary Shares results in the issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B Ordinary Shares at the time of our initial business combination. In addition, the amount of the deferred underwriting compensation payable to the underwriters will not be adjusted for any shares that are redeemed in connection with an initial business combination. The per share amount we will distribute to shareholders who properly exercise their redemption rights will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting compensation and after such redemptions, the amount held in trust will continue to reflect our obligation to pay the entire deferred underwriting compensation. The above considerations may limit our ability to complete the most desirable business combination available to us or optimize our capital structure. As a result, our obligations to redeem Public Shares for which redemption is requested and to pay the deferred underwriting commissions may not allow us to complete the most desirable business combination or optimize our capital structure. In addition, raising additional third-party financing may involve dilutive equity issuances or the incurrence of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels. Furthermore, this dilution would increase to the extent that the anti-dilution provisions of the Class B Ordinary Shares result in the issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B Ordinary Shares at the time of our business combination. The above considerations may limit our ability to complete the most desirable business combination available to us or optimize our capital structure and may result in substantial dilution from your purchase of our Class A Ordinary Shares. The effect of this dilution will be greater for shareholders who do not redeem. The amount of the deferred underwriting compensation payable to the underwriters will not be adjusted for any shares that are redeemed in connection with an initial business combination, which may further dilute your investment. The per-share amount we will distribute to Public Shareholders who properly exercise their redemption rights will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting compensation and after such redemptions, the per-share value of shares held by non-redeeming shareholders will reflect our obligation to pay the deferred underwriting compensation. We may not be able to generate sufficient value from the completion of our initial business combination in order to overcome the dilutive impact of these and other factors, and, accordingly, you may incur a net loss on your investment. Please see " - Risks Relating to our Securities - The nominal purchase price paid by our Sponsor for the Founder Shares may result in significant dilution to the implied value of your Public Shares upon the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination, and our Sponsor is likely to make a substantial profit on its investment in us in the event we consummate the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination, even if the business combination causes the trading price of our ordinary shares to materially decline."

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 11
    The ability of our Public Shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our shares could increase the probability that the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination would be unsuccessful and that you would have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem your shares.

    Although the Air Water Business Combination Agreement does not include a minimum cash condition, if we do not complete the Proposed Business Combination and the definitive agreement for another initial business combination requires us to use a portion of the cash in the Trust Account to pay the purchase price, or requires us to have a minimum amount of cash at closing, the probability that our initial business combination would be unsuccessful is increased. If our initial business combination is unsuccessful, you would not receive your pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account until we liquidate the Trust Account. If you are in need of immediate liquidity, you could attempt to sell your shares in the open market; however, at such time our shares may trade at a discount to the pro rata amount per share in the Trust Account. In either situation, you may suffer a material loss on your investment or lose the benefit of funds expected in connection with your exercise of redemption rights until we liquidate or you are able to sell your shares in the open market.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 12
    Although we intend to seek shareholder approval in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, our Public Shareholders may not be afforded an opportunity to vote on another proposed initial business combination, and even if we hold a vote, holders of our Founder Shares will participate in such vote, which means we may complete the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination even though a majority of our Public Shareholders do not support such a combination.

    If we do not complete the Proposed Business Combination, and instead seek to complete another initial business combination, we may choose not to hold a shareholder vote to approve such initial business combination, unless the business combination would require shareholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements. Except as required by applicable law or stock exchange requirements, the decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a particular business combination or will allow shareholders to sell their shares to us in a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors, such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require us to seek shareholder approval. Even if we seek shareholder approval, as we intend to do in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, the holders of our Founder Shares will participate in the vote on such approval. Accordingly, we may complete the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination even if holders of a majority of our ordinary shares do not approve of the business combination we complete.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 13
    If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, as we intend to do in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, our Sponsor, management team, and Cantor agreed to vote in favor of such initial business combination, regardless of how our Public Shareholders vote.

    Our Sponsor, management team, and Cantor, collectively, own approximately 26.6% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Our initial shareholders and management team also may from time to time purchase Class A Ordinary Shares prior to our initial business combination. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that, if we seek shareholder approval of an initial business combination, as we intend to do in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, such initial business combination will be approved if we receive an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares, voting together as a single class, as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting of the company. Our Sponsor and management team agreed to vote their Founder Shares, private placement shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after our IPO (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of the Proposed Business Combination and any other initial business combination (except with respect to any Public Shares which may not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction in accordance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act and any SEC interpretations or guidance relating thereto). In addition, Cantor agreed to vote any private placement shares in favor of the Proposed Business Combination or any other initial business combination if we seek shareholder approval for such business combination and in favor of any proposals recommended by our board of directors in connection with such business combination. As a result, in addition to our Founder Shares and private placement shares, we would need only 8,063,334, or approximately 31.9%, of the 22,000,000 Public Shares included in the units sold in our IPO to be voted in favor of an initial business combination in order to have the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination approved, assuming all outstanding shares are voted, and the parties to the letter agreement do not acquire any Public Shares. Assuming that only the holders of one-third of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares, representing a quorum under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, vote their ordinary shares at a general meeting of the company, we will not need any Public Shares in addition to our initial shareholders' Founder Shares and private placement shares to be voted in favor of the Proposed Business Combination or any other initial business combination in order to approve an initial business combination. However, if our initial business combination is structured as a statutory merger or consolidation with another company under Cayman Islands law, as is the case with the Proposed Business Combination, the approval of our initial business combination will require a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares, voting together as a single class, as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting of the company. Accordingly, if we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, as we intend to do in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, the agreement by our initial shareholders and management team to vote in favor of our initial business combination will increase the likelihood that an ordinary resolution will be passed, being the requisite shareholder approval for such initial business combination.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 14
    Our directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of our Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our Public Shareholders.

    In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case less taxes paid or payable, and up to $100,000 of interest to pay liquidation expenses, and our Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in any particular instance if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. If our independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our Public Shareholders may be reduced below $10.00 per Public Share.

    If we are unable to consummate the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination within the completion window, our Public Shareholders may be forced to wait beyond such period before redemption from our Trust Account.

    If we are unable to consummate the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination within the completion window, the proceeds then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us for permitted withdrawals (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay liquidation expenses), will be used to fund the redemption of our Public Shares, as further described herein. Any redemption of Public Shareholders from the Trust Account will be effected automatically by function of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association prior to any voluntary winding up. If we are required to wind up, liquidate the Trust Account and distribute such amount therein, pro rata, to our Public Shareholders, as part of any liquidation process, such winding up, liquidation and distribution must comply with the applicable provisions of the Companies Act. In that case, investors may be forced to wait beyond the end of the completion window before the redemption proceeds of our Trust Account become available to them, and they receive the return of their pro rata portion of the proceeds from our Trust Account. We have no obligation to return funds to Public Shareholders prior to the date of our redemption or liquidation unless we consummate the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination prior thereto and only then in cases where Public Shareholders have sought to redeem their Public Shares. Only upon our redemption or any liquidation will Public Shareholders be entitled to distributions if we are unable to complete the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination.

    Our shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

    If we are forced to enter into an insolvent liquidation, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed as an unlawful payment if it was proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was made, we were unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, our directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to us or our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, thereby exposing themselves and our company to claims, by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons. We and our directors and officers who knowingly and willfully authorized or permitted any distribution to be paid out of our share premium account while we were unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business would be guilty of an offence and may be liable to a fine of $18,293 and to imprisonment for five years in the Cayman Islands.

    We may not hold an annual general meeting until after the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination, which could delay the opportunity for our shareholders to appoint directors.

    In accordance with Nasdaq's corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual general meeting until no later than one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on Nasdaq. There is no requirement under the Companies Act for us to hold annual or extraordinary general meetings to appoint directors. Until we hold an annual general meeting, Public Shareholders may not be afforded the opportunity to appoint directors and to discuss company affairs with management. Our board of directors is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being appointed in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual general meeting) serving a three-year term.

    We are not required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or from another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions, and consequently, you may have no assurance from an independent source that the price we are paying for the business is fair to our shareholders from a financial point of view.

    Unless we complete our initial business combination with an affiliated (as defined in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association) entity or our board of directors cannot independently determine the fair market value of the target business or businesses (including with the assistance of financial advisors), we are not required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm which is a member of FINRA or a valuation or appraisal firm that the price we are paying is fair to our company from a financial point of view. No such opinion was required in connection with the Proposed Business Combination. If no opinion is obtained, our shareholders will be relying on the judgment of our board of directors, who will determine fair market value based on standards generally accepted by the financial community. Such standards used will be disclosed in our proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, related to the Proposed Business Combination or such other initial business combination.

    PubCo, the surviving company of the Proposed Business Combination will issue a substantial number of ordinary shares and preference shares, and we or the surviving company of any other initial business combination may issue additional Class A Ordinary Shares or preference shares to complete another initial business combination or under an employee incentive plan after completion of such initial business combination. We may also issue Class A Ordinary Shares upon the conversion of the Founder Shares at a ratio greater than one-to-one at the time of any initial business combination other than the Proposed Business Combination as a result of the anti-dilution provisions contained in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Any such issuances would dilute the interest of our shareholders and likely present other risks.

    Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association authorize the issuance of up to 500,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share, 50,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share, and 5,000,000 preference shares, par value $0.0001 per share. As of March 27, 2026, there were 477,260,000 and 41,566,667 authorized but unissued Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, respectively, available for issuance which amount does not take into account shares reserved for issuance upon settlement of outstanding rights or shares issuable upon conversion of the Class B Ordinary Shares. The Class B Ordinary Shares are automatically convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares (which such Class A Ordinary Shares will not have any redemption rights or be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account) immediately prior to, concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination or earlier at the option of the holder, initially at a one-for-one ratio but subject to adjustment as set forth herein and in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, including in certain circumstances in which we issue Class A Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities related to the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination. As of the date hereof, there are no preference shares issued and outstanding. PubCo, the surviving company of the Proposed Business Combination, will issue a substantial number of ordinary shares and preference shares to complete the Proposed Business Combination and under an employee incentive plan after completion of the Proposed Business Combination. If we do not complete the Proposed Business Combination and instead complete an alternate initial business combination, we or the surviving company of any such alternate initial business combination may issue a substantial number of additional Class A Ordinary Shares or preference shares to complete such initial business combination or under an employee incentive plan after completion of such initial business combination, including in connection with the PIPE transaction that Inflection Point Fund intends to invest up to $25,000,000 in. We or the surviving company of the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination may also issue Class A Ordinary Shares upon conversion of the Class B Ordinary Shares at a ratio greater than one-to-one at the time of an initial business combination other than the Proposed Business Combination as a result of the anti-dilution provisions as set forth in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. However, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide, among other things, that prior to our initial business combination, including the Proposed Business Combination, we may not issue additional shares that would entitle the holders thereof to (i) receive funds from the Trust Account or (ii) vote on any initial business combination. These provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, like all provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, may be amended with a shareholder vote. The issuance of additional ordinary or preference shares: - may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B Ordinary Shares resulted in the issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B Ordinary Shares;- may subordinate the rights of holders of Class A Ordinary Shares if preference shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our Class A Ordinary Shares;- could cause a change in control if a substantial number of Class A Ordinary Shares are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;- may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and - may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our securities. The effective price per security in the PIPE transaction in connection with the Proposed Business Combination ranges from $10.20 to $12.00 per ordinary share. The effective price per security in any other PIPE transaction, including, is not currently known. As was the case in connection with the PIPE Transaction for the Proposed Business Combination, we expect that the terms of any such PIPE transaction will be negotiated with the applicable business combination target and investors (including Inflection Point Fund), at the time a business combination agreement is signed. The effective price per security issued in any such PIPE transactions may be less, and potentially significantly less, than $10.00 per share or the market price for our shares at such time. Any such issuances of equity securities at a price that is less than $10.00 or the prevailing market price of our shares at that time could be structured to ensure a return on investment to the investors and could materially dilute the interests of our existing shareholders in a manner that would not ordinarily occur in a traditional initial public offering and could result in both a reduction in the trading price of our shares to the price at which we issue such equity securities and fluctuations in the net tangible book value per share of the combined company's securities following the completion of the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination. We may also provide price protection or other incentives, or issue convertible securities such as preferred equity or convertible debt, and the exercise or conversion price of those securities may be fixed or adjustable, and may be less, and potentially significantly less, than $10.00 per share or the market price for our shares at such time. Therefore, any such PIPE transaction may result in material dilution to holders of our shares. For more information, also see "Risk Factors - Risks Relating to our Search for, and Consummation of, or Inability to Consummate, a Business Combination - We may issue shares to investors in connection with the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination at a price which is less than $10.00 or the prevailing market price of our shares at that time, which could materially dilute the interests of our existing shareholders and add costs."

    Unlike some other similarly structured SPACs, our initial shareholders will receive additional Class A Ordinary Shares if we issue certain shares to consummate an initial business combination, other than the Proposed Business Combination with Air Water.

    The Class B Ordinary Shares will automatically convert into Class A Ordinary Shares (which such Class A Ordinary Shares will not have any redemption rights or be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account) immediately prior to, concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of our initial business combination (the anti-dilution rights of the Founder Shares were waived with respect to the Proposed Business Combination) or earlier at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional Class A Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with our initial business combination, the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares (including Class A Ordinary Shares previously issued upon conversion of Class B Ordinary Shares) will equal, in the aggregate, on an as converted basis, 25% of the sum of (i) the total number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding (excluding the private placement shares comprising part of the Private Placement Units and the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the private placement, and after giving effect to any redemptions of Public Shares by Public Shareholders) after such conversion, plus (ii) the sum of the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities (as defined below) or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial business combination, excluding any Class A Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares issued, deemed issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial business combination and any private placement-equivalent shares issued to our Sponsor, members of our management team or any of their affiliates upon conversion of working capital loans made to the company; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis. The term "equity-linked securities" refers to any debt or equity securities that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for our Class A Ordinary Shares issued in connection with our initial business combination, including, but not limited to, a PIPE transaction, or another private placement of equity or debt.

    We may issue shares to investors in connection with the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination at a price which is less than $10.00 or the prevailing market price of our shares at that time, which could materially dilute the interests of our existing shareholders and add costs.

    In connection with the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination, we may issue shares to investors in PIPE transactions in order to complete an initial business combination and provide sufficient liquidity and capital to the post-business combination entity. Inflection Point Fund, an affiliate of our Sponsor and our executive officers, intends, but will not be obligated to, invest an aggregate of up to $25,000,000 into a PIPE transaction in connection with our initial business combination, subject to diligence and approval of Inflection Point Fund's investment committee. Any such commitment and purchase will be subject to approval of Inflection Point Fund's investment committee prior to the closing of our initial business combination. Accordingly, if Inflection Point Fund's investment committee does not give its approval, Inflection Point Fund will not be obligated to make such investment. For example, in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, Inflection Point Fund has invested only $15,000,000 into a PIPE transaction. Further, we have the right, in our sole discretion, to reduce the amount of or decline such investment. If we do not complete the Proposed Business Combination and instead seek to complete another initial business combination, we expect that the terms of any such PIPE transaction will be negotiated with the applicable business combination target and investors (including Inflection Point Fund), at the time a business combination agreement is signed. The price of the shares so issued in connection with an initial business combination may be less, and potentially significantly less, than $10.00 per share or the market price for our shares at such time. Any such issuances of equity securities at a price that is less than $10.00 or the prevailing market price of our shares at that time could be structured to ensure a return on investment to the investors and could materially dilute the interests of our existing shareholders in a manner that would not ordinarily occur in a traditional initial public offering and could result in both a reduction in the trading price of our shares to the price at which the post-business combination company issues such equity securities and fluctuations in the net tangible book value per share of the combined company's securities following the completion of the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination. As PubCo has done in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, we or the post-business combination company may also provide price protection or other incentives, or issue convertible securities such as preferred equity or convertible debt, and the exercise or conversion price of those securities may be fixed or adjustable, and may be less, and potentially significantly less, than $10.00 per share or the market price for our shares at such time. Such issuances could also result in additional transaction costs related to our initial business combination compared to a traditional initial public offering, including the placement fees associated with the engagement of a placement agent in connection with PIPE transactions. Therefore, any such PIPE transaction may result in material dilution to holders of our shares. For more information also see "Risk Factors - Risks Relating to our Search for, and Consummation of, or Inability to Consummate, a Business Combination - PubCo, the surviving company of the Proposed Business Combination will issue a substantial number of ordinary shares and preference shares, and we or the surviving company of any other initial business combination may issue additional Class A Ordinary Shares or preference shares to complete another initial business combination or under an employee incentive plan after completion of such initial business combination. We may also issue Class A Ordinary Shares upon the conversion of the Founder Shares at a ratio greater than one-to-one at the time of any initial business combination other than the Proposed Business Combination as a result of the anti-dilution provisions contained in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Any such issuances would dilute the interest of our shareholders and likely present other risks."

    Since our Sponsor, management team and other initial shareholders will likely lose their entire investment in us if the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination is not completed (other than with respect to Public Shares they may acquire), a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether Air Water or another particular business combination target is appropriate for our initial business combination and in negotiating or accepting the terms of the transaction because of their financial interest in completing an initial business combination within the completion window.

    On February 5, 2024, our Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, to cover certain of our offering costs in exchange for 5,750,000 Founder Shares. Subsequently on October 10, 2024, we effected a share capitalization of 1,916,667 Class B Ordinary Shares, as a result of which our Sponsor owned 7,666,667 Founder Shares for which it paid approximately $0.003 per share. On November 18, 2024, we effected a share capitalization of 766,666 Class B Ordinary Shares, as a result of which our Sponsor owned 8,433,333 Founder Shares for which it paid approximately $0.003 per share. Prior to the initial investment in the company of $25,000 by the Sponsor, the company had no assets, tangible or intangible. The purchase price of the Founder Shares was determined by dividing the amount of cash contributed to the company by the number of Founder Shares issued. The number of Founder Shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the total size of our IPO would be a maximum of 25,300,000 Public Units, and therefore that such Founder Shares would represent 25% of the outstanding shares after our IPO (excluding the private placement shares included in the Private Placement Units and Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the private placement rights). The Founder Shares will be worthless if we do not complete the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination, except to the extent they entitle the holders thereof to receive liquidating distributions from assets outside of the Trust Account. In addition, our Sponsor and Cantor, the representative of the underwriters, purchased, pursuant to written agreements, an aggregate of 740,000 Private Placement units, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, or $7,400,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of our IPO. Of those 740,000 Private Placement Units, our Sponsor purchased 500,000 Private Placement Units and Cantor purchased 240,000 Private Placement Units. The Private Placement Units will be worthless if we do not complete the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination, except to the extent they entitle the holders thereof to receive liquidating distributions from assets outside of the Trust Account. The personal and financial interests of our officers and directors, who will indirectly own Founder Shares and Private Placement Units, may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business combination, completing the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination and influencing the operation of the business following the Proposed Business Combination or such other initial business combination. This risk may become more acute as the end of the completion window nears, which is the deadline for our completion of the Proposed Business Combination or such other initial business combination.

    We do not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for us to complete the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination with which a substantial majority of our shareholders do not agree.

    Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association do not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold. We may be able to complete the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination even though a substantial majority of our Public Shareholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or, if we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, as we intend to do in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, and do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, have entered into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to our Sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or any of their affiliates. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all Public Shares that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the business combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the business combination or redeem any shares, all Public Shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and we instead may search for an alternate business combination.

    In order to effectuate an initial business combination, SPACs have, in the recent past, amended various provisions of their charters and other governing instruments. We cannot assure you that we will not seek to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or governing instruments in a manner that will make it easier for us to complete the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination that our shareholders may not support.

    In order to effectuate a business combination, SPACs have, in the recent past, amended various provisions of their charters and governing instruments. For example, SPACs have amended the definition of business combination, increased redemption thresholds and extended the time to consummate an initial business combination. Amending our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will require a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares, voting together as a single class, as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting of the company. In addition, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association require us to provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for cash if in connection with any amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination within the completion window or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders' rights or pre-initial business combination activity. To the extent any of such amendments would be deemed to fundamentally change the nature of the securities described in this Form 10-K, we would register, or seek an exemption from registration for, the affected securities. We cannot assure you that we will not seek to amend our charter or governing instruments or extend the time to consummate an initial business combination, including the Proposed Business Combination with Air Water, in order to effectuate our initial business combination.

    The provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that relate to our pre-business combination activity (and corresponding provisions of the agreement governing the release of funds from our Trust Account to the extent they require separate amendment) may be amended with the approval of holders of not less than two-thirds of our ordinary shares which are represented in person or by proxy and are voted at a general meeting of the company, which is a lower amendment threshold than that of some other SPACs. It may be easier for us, therefore, to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to facilitate the completion of the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination that some of our shareholders may not support.

    Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that any of their provisions related to pre-business combination activity (including the requirement to deposit proceeds of our IPO and the private placement of units into the Trust Account and not release such amounts except in specified circumstances, and to provide redemption rights to Public Shareholders as described herein) may be amended if approved by special resolution, under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares, voting together as a single class, as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting of the company. Our Sponsor, who beneficially owns 25.9% of our ordinary shares as of March 27, 2026, will participate in any vote to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and/or trust agreement and will have the discretion to vote in any manner it chooses. As a result, we may be able to amend the provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association which govern our pre-business combination behavior more easily than some other SPACs, and this may increase our ability to complete a business combination, including the Proposed Business Combination, with which you do not agree. Our shareholders may pursue remedies against us for any breach of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Our Sponsor and management team agreed, pursuant to the letter agreement, that they will not propose any amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the completion window or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders' rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon implementation of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior the effective date of such amendment, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us for permitted withdrawals, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. Our shareholders are not parties to, or third-party beneficiaries of, these agreements and, as a result, will not have the ability to pursue remedies against our Sponsor or management team for any breach of these agreements. As a result, in the event of a breach, our shareholders would need to pursue a shareholder derivative action, subject to applicable law.

    Our Sponsor controls a substantial interest in us and thus may exert a substantial influence on actions requiring a shareholder vote, potentially in a manner that you do not support.

    As of March 27, 2026, our Sponsor owns 25.9% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Accordingly, it may exert a substantial influence on actions requiring a shareholder vote, potentially in a manner that you do not support, including amendments to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Further, prior to the closing of the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination, and while any Class B Ordinary Shares are issued and outstanding, only holders of our Class B Ordinary Shares will be entitled to vote on continuing the company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any special resolution required to amend the constitutional documents of the company or to adopt new constitutional documents of the company, in each case, as a result of the company approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). These provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by a special resolution passed by not less than 90% of the votes cast by the shareholders of the issued shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on such matter at a general meeting of the company. As a result, you will not have any influence over our continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands prior to our initial business combination. If our Sponsor purchases any additional Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, this would increase its control. Neither our Sponsor nor, to our knowledge, any of our officers, directors or director nominees, have any current intention to purchase additional securities, other than as disclosed in this Form 10-K. Factors that would be considered in making such additional purchases would include consideration of the current trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. In addition, our board of directors, whose members were or will be appointed by our Sponsor, is and will be divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for a term for three years with only one class of directors being appointed in each year. We may not hold an annual or extraordinary general meeting to appoint new directors prior to the completion of the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination, in which case all of the current directors will continue in office until at least the completion of the Proposed Business Combination or another business combination. If there is an annual general meeting, as a consequence of our "staggered" board of directors, only a minority of the board of directors will be considered for appointment and our Sponsor, because of its ownership position, will have considerable influence regarding the outcome. Accordingly, our Sponsor will continue to exert control at least until the completion of our initial business combination.

    Because we must furnish our shareholders with target business financial statements, we may lose the ability to complete an otherwise advantageous initial business combination with some prospective target businesses.

    The federal proxy rules require that the proxy statement with respect to the vote on an initial business combination include historical and pro forma financial statement disclosure. We will include the same financial statement disclosure in connection with our tender offer documents, whether or not they are required under the tender offer rules. In the case of Air Water, these financial statements are, and in the case of any other target company, these financial statements may be required to be prepared in accordance with, or be reconciled to, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") or international financial reporting standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS") depending on the circumstances and the historical financial statements may be required to be audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB"). These financial statement requirements may limit the pool of potential target businesses we may acquire because some targets may be unable to provide such financial statements in time for us to disclose such statements in accordance with federal proxy rules and complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame.

    Our officers, directors and director nominees presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities, including other SPACs, and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time and in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.

    Until we consummate the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination, we intend to engage in the business of identifying and combining with one or more businesses. Our Sponsor, its manager, and our officers, directors and director nominees are, or may in the future become, affiliated with entities (such as operating companies or investment vehicles) that are engaged in a similar business. We do not have employment contracts with our officers and directors (or director nominees) that will limit their ability to work at other businesses. Each of our officers, directors and director nominees presently has, and any of them in the future may have, additional fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entities. Accordingly, they may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in our favor and a potential target business may be presented to another entity prior to its presentation to us, subject to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) no individual serving as a director or an officer shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as us; and (ii) we renounce any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for any director or officer, on the one hand, and us, on the other. In addition, our Sponsor and our officers and directors may form other SPACs with acquisition objectives that are similar to ours or may pursue other business or investment ventures during the period in which we are seeking an initial business combination. As a result, our Sponsor, officers and directors could have conflicts of interest in determining whether to present business combination opportunities to us or to any other SPAC with which they may become involved. Any such companies, businesses or investments may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing an initial business combination target. However, we do not believe that any such potential conflicts would materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination because (A) the other entities to which our officers and directors (or director nominees) currently owe fiduciary duties or contractual obligations are either (i) not themselves in the business of engaging in business combinations or (ii) though in the business of engaging in business combinations, have already entered into a binding agreement with a target company and (B) we expect that our company will generally have priority over any other SPACs subsequently formed by our Sponsor, officers or directors with respect to acquisition opportunities until we complete our initial business combination or enter into a contractual agreement that would restrict our ability to engage in material discussions regarding a potential initial business combination, as we have done with Air Water. For a complete discussion of our officers', directors' and director nominees' business affiliations and the potential conflicts of interest that you should be aware of, please see "Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance – Conflicts of Interest."

    Our officers, directors, security holders and their respective affiliates may have competitive pecuniary interests that conflict with our interests.

    We have not adopted a policy that expressly prohibits our directors, officers, security holders or affiliates from having a direct or indirect pecuniary or financial interest in any investment to be acquired or disposed of by us or in any transaction to which we are a party or have an interest. In fact, we may enter into a business combination with a target business that is affiliated with our Sponsor, our directors or officers, although we do not intend to do so and Air Water is not such a target business. Nor do we have a policy that expressly prohibits any such persons from engaging for their own account in business activities of the types conducted by us. Accordingly, such persons or entities may have a conflict between their interests and ours. Any such companies, businesses or investments may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing an initial business combination target. However, we do not believe that any such potential conflicts would materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination. The personal and financial interests of our directors and officers may influence their motivation in timely identifying and selecting a target business and completing a business combination. Consequently, our directors' and officers' discretion in identifying and selecting a suitable target business may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether the terms, conditions and timing of a particular business combination are appropriate and in our best interest. If this were the case, it would be a breach of their fiduciary duties to us as a matter of Cayman Islands law and claims against such individuals may arise for a breach of such duties. However, we might not ultimately be successful in any claim we may make against them for such reason.

    Our letter agreement with our Sponsor and management team may be amended without shareholder approval.

    Our letter agreement with our Sponsor and management team will contain provisions relating to transfer restrictions of our Founder Shares and Private Placement Units, indemnification of the Trust Account, waiver of redemption rights and participation in liquidating distributions from the Trust Account. The letter agreement may be amended without shareholder approval. While we do not expect our board to approve any amendment to the letter agreement prior to our initial business combination, it may be possible that our board, in exercising its business judgment and subject to its fiduciary duties, chooses to approve one or more amendments to the letter agreement. Any such amendments to the letter agreement would not require approval from our shareholders and may have an adverse effect on the value of an investment in our securities.

    Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors' ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

    We cannot assure you that our securities will be, or will continue to be, listed on Nasdaq in the future or prior to our initial business combination. In order to continue listing our securities on Nasdaq prior to our initial business combination, we must maintain certain financial, distribution and share price levels. Generally, we must maintain a minimum market value of listed securities (generally $50,000,000) and a minimum number of holders of our securities (generally 400 public holders). Additionally, in connection with the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination, we will be required to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq's initial listing requirements, which are more rigorous than Nasdaq's continued listing requirements, in order to continue to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq. For instance, unless we decide to list on a different Nasdaq tier such as the Nasdaq Capital Market which has different initial listing requirements, our share price would generally be required to be at least $4.00 per share, the market value of our listed securities would be required to be at least $75,000,000, the market value of our unrestricted publicly held shares would be required to be at least $20,000,000 and we would be required to have a minimum of 400 round lot holders of our securities, with at least 50% of such round lot holders holding securities with a market value of at least $2,500. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet those initial listing requirements at that time. If Nasdaq delists our securities from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list our securities on another national securities exchange, we expect our securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including: - a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;- reduced liquidity for our securities;- a determination that our Class A Ordinary Shares are a "penny stock" which will require brokers trading in our Class A Ordinary Shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;- a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and - a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as "covered securities." Because our Units and eventually our Class A Ordinary Shares and rights will be listed on Nasdaq, our Units, Class A Ordinary Shares and rights will qualify as covered securities under the statute. Although we expect that the states will be preempted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. While we are not aware of a state having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by SPACs, other than the State of Idaho, certain state securities regulators view SPACs unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of SPACs in their states. Further, if we were no longer listed on Nasdaq, our securities would not qualify as covered securities under the statute and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 32
    Our initial shareholders paid an aggregate of $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per Founder Share and, accordingly, our IPO investors experienced immediate and substantial dilution from the purchase of our Class A Ordinary Shares.

    The difference between the public offering price per share (allocating all of the Public Unit purchase price to the Public Share and none to the right included in the unit) and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our Class A Ordinary Shares constitutes the dilution to our other investors. Our initial shareholders acquired the Founder Shares at a nominal price, significantly contributing to this dilution. Assuming no value is ascribed to the rights included in the units, Public Shareholders in our initial public offering experienced immediate and substantial dilution of approximately 109.24%, the difference between the pro forma net tangible book value per share of $(0.84) (assuming a maximum redemption scenario) and the initial offering price of $9.09 per unit. Generally, the dilution that our Public Shareholders will experience increases the more Public Shares are redeemed. The issuance of additional ordinary or preference shares may also significantly dilute the equity interest of investors, which dilution would even further increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B Ordinary Shares resulted in the issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B Ordinary Shares. In addition, because of the anti-dilution protection in the Class B Ordinary Shares, any equity or equity-linked securities issued in connection with our initial business combination would be disproportionately dilutive to our Class A Ordinary Shares. Our Public Shareholders will experience dilution even if no Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination or another redemption event, for instance in connection with an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we have not consummated an initial business combination within the completion window or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders' rights or pre-initial business combination activity. However, while our Public Shareholders will experience dilution even if none of our Public Shares are redeemed, the dilution they will experience will decrease the more of our Public Shares remain issued and outstanding following a redemption event. For instance, if we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, as we intend to do in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase units, Public Shares, rights or equity-linked securities in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination, although they are under no obligation to do so. In the event of any such purchases of our shares prior to the completion of the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination or if we enter into non-redemption agreements with certain of our shareholders, the number of Class A Ordinary Shares subject to redemption will be reduced by the amount of any such purchases or shares subject to non-redemption agreements, increasing the pro forma net tangible book value per share.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 33
    The nominal purchase price paid by our Sponsor for the Founder Shares may significantly dilute the implied value of your Public Shares in the event we consummate an initial business combination, including the Proposed Business Combination with Air Water, and our Sponsor is likely to make a substantial profit on its investment in us in the event we consummate an initial business combination, even if the business combination causes the trading price of our ordinary shares to materially decline.

    While we offered our units at an offering price of $10.00 per unit and the amount in our Trust Account was initially $10.00 per Public Share, implying an initial value of $10.00 per Public Share, our Sponsor paid a nominal aggregate purchase price of $25,000 for the Founder Shares, or approximately $0.003 per share. As a result, the value of your Public Shares may be significantly diluted in the event we consummate an initial business combination, including the Proposed Business Combination with Air Water. For example, the following table shows the Public Shareholders' and our Sponsor's investment per share and how that compares to the implied value of one Class A Ordinary Share upon the consummation of our initial business combination if at that time we were valued at $240,955,000 (which is the amount we would have in the Trust Account for our initial business combination following payment of the deferred underwriting fee), no interest is earned on the funds held in the Trust Account, and no Public Shares are redeemed in connection with our initial business combination. At such valuation, each of our ordinary shares would have an implied value of $6.99 per share, which is a 30.1% decrease as compared to the initial implied value per Public Share of $10.00. Public Shares     25,300,000   Founder Shares     8,433,333   Private Placement Shares     740,000   Total shares     34,473,333   Total funds in trust available for initial business combination(1)   $ 240,955,000   Public Shareholders' investment per Class A Ordinary Share(2)   $ 10.00   Sponsor's investment per share(3)   $ 0.56   Implied value per share upon consummation of initial business combination(1)   $ 6.99 (1) Does not take into account other potential impacts on our valuation at the time of the business combination, such as the trading price of our Public Shares, the terms of the business combination transaction (including any equity issued to or retained by, or cash or other consideration paid to, the target's shareholder or other third parties), the business combination transaction costs (except for the payment of the $12,045,000 deferred underwriting fee), or the target's business itself, including its assets, liabilities, management and prospects. For instance, the potential dilution experienced by holders of our ordinary shares may be mitigated if the business combination agreement is structured such that the potential dilutive impact of the Founder Shares is borne by all shareholders in the pro forma company. (2) While the Public Shareholders' investment is in both the Public Shares and the public rights, for purposes of this table the full investment amount is ascribed to the Public Shares only. (3) The total investment in the equity of the company by the Sponsor is $5,025,000, consisting of (i) $25,000 paid by the Sponsor for the Founder Shares and (ii) $5,000,000 by the Sponsor for 500,000 Private Placement Units. For purposes of this table, the full investment amount is ascribed to the ordinary shares only. While the implied value of our Public Shares may be diluted, the implied value of $6.99 per share in the example above would represent a significant implied profit for our Sponsor relative to the initial purchase price of the Founder Shares. Our Sponsor has committed to invest an aggregate of $5,025,000 in us in connection with our initial public offering, comprised of the $25,000 purchase price for the Founder Shares and the $5,000,000 purchase price for the Private Placement Units. At $6.99 per share, the 8,433,333 Founder Shares would have an aggregate implied value of approximately $58.9 million. As a result, even if the trading price of our ordinary shares significantly declines (whether because of a substantial amount of redemptions of our Public Shares or for any other reason), our Sponsor will stand to make significant profit on its investment in us. In addition, our Sponsor could potentially recoup its entire investment in us even if the trading price of our ordinary shares were as low as $0.60 per share and even if the Private Placement Units are worthless. As a result, our Sponsor is likely to make a substantial profit on its investment in us even if we select and consummate an initial business combination, including the Proposed Business Combination with Air Water, that causes the trading price of our ordinary shares to decline, while our Public Shareholders who purchased their units in our initial public offering could lose significant value in their Public Shares. Our Sponsor may therefore be economically incentivized to consummate an initial business combination with a riskier, weaker-performing or less-established target business than would be the case if our Sponsor had paid the same per share price for the Founder Shares as our Public Shareholders paid for their Public Shares. This dilution would increase to the extent that the anti-dilution provisions of the Founder Shares result in the issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Founder Shares at the time of our initial business combination and would become exacerbated to the extent that Public Shareholders seek redemptions from the trust for their Public Shares. In addition, because of the anti-dilution protection in the Founder Shares, any equity or equity-linked securities issued in connection with our initial business combination, including the PIPE transaction that Inflection Point Fund intends to invest up to $25,000,000 in, would be disproportionately dilutive to our Class A Ordinary Shares.

    Because we are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. Federal courts may be limited.

    We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon our directors or officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against our directors or officers. Our corporate affairs will be governed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act (as the same may be supplemented or amended from time to time) and the common law of the Cayman Islands. We will also be subject to the federal securities laws of the United States. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Cayman Islands law are different from what they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and certain states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders derivative action in a Federal court of the United States. We have been advised by Conyers Dill & Pearman LLP, our Cayman Islands legal counsel, that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against us predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands Court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere. As a result of all of the above, Public Shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as Public Shareholders of a United States company.

    It is possible that after the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination, a majority of our directors and officers will reside outside of the United States and all of our assets will be located outside of the United States.

    Provisions in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may inhibit a takeover of us, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for our Class A Ordinary Shares and could entrench management.

    Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that shareholders may consider to be in their best interests. These provisions include a staggered board of directors and the ability of the board of directors to designate the terms of and issue new series of preference shares, which may make the removal of management more difficult and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our securities.

    Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that the courts of the Cayman Islands will be the exclusive forums for certain disputes between us and our shareholders, which could limit our shareholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for complaints against us or our directors, officers or employees.

    Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the courts of the Cayman Islands shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim or dispute arising out of or in connection with our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or otherwise related in any way to each shareholder's shareholding in us, including but not limited to: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of any fiduciary or other duty owed by any of our current or former director, officer or other employee to us or our shareholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Companies Act or our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association; or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us governed by the internal affairs doctrine (as such concept is recognized under the laws of the United States) and that each shareholder irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Cayman Islands over all such claims or disputes. The forum selection provision in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will not apply to actions or suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any claim for which the federal district courts of the United States are, as a matter of the laws of the United States, the sole and exclusive forum for determination of such a claim. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association also provide that, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that we may have, each of our shareholders acknowledges that damages alone would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the selection of the courts of the Cayman Islands as exclusive forum and that accordingly we shall be entitled, without proof of special damages, to the remedies of injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief for any threatened or actual breach of the selection of the courts of the Cayman Islands as exclusive forum. This choice of forum provision may increase a shareholder's cost and limit the shareholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any of our shares or other securities, whether by transfer, sale, operation of law or otherwise, shall be deemed to have notice of and have irrevocably agreed and consented to these provisions. There is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provisions, and the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies' charter documents has been challenged in legal proceedings. It is possible that a court could find this type of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable, and if a court were to find this provision in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving the dispute in other jurisdictions, which could have adverse effect on our business and financial performance.

    We may amend the terms of the rights in a manner that may be adverse to holders of public rights with the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding public rights. As a result, the fraction of a Class A Ordinary Share underlying each right could be decreased without your approval.

    Our rights have been issued in registered form under a rights agreement between Continental as rights agent, and us. The rights agreement provides that the terms of the rights may be amended without the consent of any holder for the purpose of (i) curing any ambiguity or to correct any defective provision or mistake, including to conform the provisions of the rights agreement to the description of the terms of the rights and the rights agreement set forth in final prospectus for our IPO, or (ii) adding or changing any provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the rights agreement as the parties to the rights agreement may deem necessary or desirable and that the parties deem to not adversely affect the rights of the registered holders of the rights, provided that the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public rights is required to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public rights. Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the public rights in a manner adverse to a holder of public rights if holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding public rights approve of such amendment. Although our ability to amend the terms of the public rights with the consent of at least 50% of the then outstanding public rights is unlimited, an example of such an amendment could be an amendment to, among other things, decrease the fraction of a Class A Ordinary Shares underlying each right.

    Our rights agreement designates the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by holders of our rights, which could limit the ability of rights holders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with our company.

    Our rights agreement provides that, subject to applicable law, (i) any action, proceeding or claim against us arising out of or relating in any way to the rights agreement, will be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and (ii) that we irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. We will waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, these provisions of the rights agreement will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum. We note that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provisions, and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any of our rights shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in our rights agreement. If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope the forum provisions of the rights agreement, is filed in a court other than a court of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (a "foreign action") in the name of any holder of our rights, such holder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of New York in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an "enforcement action"), and (y) having service of process made upon such rights holder in any such enforcement action by service upon such rights holder's counsel in the foreign action as agent for such rights holder. This choice-of-forum provision may limit a rights holder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with our company, which may discourage such lawsuits. Alternatively, if a court were to find this provision of our rights agreement inapplicable or unenforceable with respect to one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and result in a diversion of the time and resources of our management team.

    Because each unit contains one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A Ordinary Share upon the consummation of our initial business combination, and only whole shares will be issued in exchange for rights, the units may be worth less than units of other SPACs.

    Except in cases where we are not the surviving company in a business combination, each holder of a right will automatically receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A Ordinary Share upon consummation of our initial business combination. In the event we will not be the surviving company upon completion of our initial business combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert its rights in order to receive the one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A Ordinary Share underlying each right upon consummation of the business combination. We will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of rights. As a result, you must hold rights in multiples of 10 in order to receive Class A Ordinary Shares for all of your rights upon closing of a business combination, including the Proposed Business Combination with Air Water. If we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period and we redeem the Public Shares for the funds then held in the Trust Account (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay liquidation expenses), holders of rights will not receive any of such funds for their rights and the rights will expire worthless.

    The grant of registration rights to our initial shareholders and holders of our Private Placement Units may make it more difficult to complete the Proposed Business Combination or another initial business combination, and the future exercise of such rights may adversely affect the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.

    Pursuant to an agreement to be entered into concurrently with the issuance and sale of the securities in our IPO, our Sponsor and its permitted transferees can demand that we register the Class A Ordinary Shares into which Founder Shares are convertible, holders of our Private Placement Units and their permitted transferees can demand that we register the private placement shares and the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon settlement of the private placement rights or holders of securities that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans and their permitted transferees may demand that we register such shares and any other securities of the company acquired by them prior to the consummation of our initial business combination. We will bear the cost of registering these securities. The registration and availability of such a significant number of securities for trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. In addition, the existence of the registration rights may make our initial business combination more costly or difficult to conclude. This is because the shareholders of the target business may increase the equity stake they seek in the combined entity or ask for more cash consideration to offset the negative impact on the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares that is expected when the ordinary shares owned by our initial shareholders, holders of our Private Placement Units or holders of our working capital loans or their respective permitted transferees are registered.

    We are an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies or smaller reporting companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

    We are an "emerging growth company" within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor internal controls attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As a result, our shareholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our Class A Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30th before that time, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31st. We cannot predict whether investors will find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of our securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the trading prices of our securities may be more volatile. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Additionally, we are a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates is equal to or exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30th, or (2) our annual revenues equaled or exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates is equal to or exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30. To the extent we take advantage of such reduced disclosure obligations, it may also make comparison of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
