The Issuer has until November 9, 2022 (which is 15 months from the closing of the initial public offering) to consummate an initial business combination. However, if the Issuer anticipates that it may not be able to consummate its initial business combination within 15 months, it will, by resolution of its board if requested by its Sponsor, DarkPulse, Inc., extend the period of time to consummate a business combination by an additional three months to February 9, 2023 (for a total of 18 months to complete a business combination), subject to DarkPulse, Inc. depositing additional funds into the trust account.
