any such registration statements.

Underwriters Agreement
The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriters are obligated to purchase all the units in this offering if any are purchased, other than those units covered by the over-allotment option described below.
The Company has granted to the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,050,000 additional units at the initial public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The option may be exercised only to cover any over-allotments of units.
The Company expects to pay an underwriting discount of 2.00% of the gross proceeds of the Proposed Public Offering, or $1,400,000 (or up to $1,610,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment is exercised in full) to the underwriters at the closing of the Proposed Offering.
The Company will pay the underwriters a cash fee upon the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination of 3.50% ($2,450,000 or up to $2,817,500 if the underwriters’ over-allotment is exercised in full), in the aggregate, of the gross proceeds of the offering including the gross proceeds from the full or partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option.

The financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect the cancellation of the 862,500 Class B ordinary shares.
