We are concurrently submitting via EDGAR Amendment No.&nbsp;2 to the Draft Registration Statement on Form&nbsp;S-1 (the &#147;<b>Draft Amendment</b>&#148;). The changes reflected in the Draft Amendment include changes intended to update, clarify and render more complete the information set forth therein.

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;"><u><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Company&#146;s Response:</font></u> As discussed with the Staff, the term &#147;equity-linked securities&#148; is intended to capture securities convertible into or exchangeable for common equity of the Company, such as convertible debt, convertible preferred stock or a security of a subsidiary that is exchangeable for common equity of the Company. As further discussed with the Staff, the Company has no current plan to issue equity-linked securities and, as such, there are no proposed terms for any such securities. The Company may determine to issue equity-linked securities in a specified future issuance at the time of the initial business combination as part of the financing therefor.</p>
