In response to the Staff&rsquo;s comment, the Company respectively advises the Staff that none of the written materials prepared by the
Company&rsquo;s outside advisors, including the Financial Advisor or the management consulting firm, as part of the Company&rsquo;s due
diligence on EVgo constitutes a report, opinion or appraisal materially related to the transaction for purposes of Item 1015 of Regulation
M-A.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-indent: 0; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify">With respect to the Financial Advisor,
the Company engaged the Financial Advisor to assist the Company with the structure of the proposed business combination and to provide
advice on the transaction process. The Company did not retain the Financial Advisor, nor any other party, to provide valuation services
or deliver a fairness opinion in connection with the proposed business combination. As summarized in the First Amended Proxy Statement,
after the Company and EVgo had already agreed to a valuation of EVgo as set forth in the non-binding letter of intent, dated November
25, 2020 and at the Company&rsquo;s direction, the Financial Advisor calculated the implied total enterprise value of EVgo to be $2.056
billion based on (i) the terms of the non-binding letter of intent agreed to by the Company and EVgo, including the valuation, as agreed
upon by the Company and EVgo, of $1.958 billion for LS Power&rsquo;s interest in EVgo and (ii) an estimate, provided by the Company&rsquo;s
management, of the expected transaction expenses. Additionally, at the direction of the Company, the Financial Advisor assisted the Company&rsquo;s
evaluation of EVgo by collecting and organizing publically available financial data for companies in comparable market industries selected
primarily by the Company&rsquo;s management. The Company then used the data collected by the Financial Advisor to make its own determination
as to the validity of the valuation EVgo it had already agreed to. The Financial Advisor produced a summary of the above described items.</P>

management consulting firm, in connection with its due diligence on EVgo, the Company engaged the management consulting firm referenced
in the First Amended Proxy Statement to provide confirmatory due diligence and an independent review of the reasonableness of EVgo management&rsquo;s
(i)&nbsp;models for EVgo&rsquo;s expected total addressable market and expected electric vehicle adoption and (ii) views on EVgo&rsquo;s
expected future competitiveness, in each case based on materials provided by EVgo, in order to assist the Company as it considered the
reasonableness of EVgo&rsquo;s models and views. The management consulting firm produced a summary of its review of the materials provided
by EVgo.</P>

the Financial Advisor or the management consulting firm opined on the value of EVgo&rsquo;s assets or the fairness of the consideration
offered in the proposed business combination. Further, neither the Financial Advisor nor the management consulting firm arrived at any
conclusions or made any specific recommendations regarding the value of EVgo, whether the Company should or should not proceed with the
proposed business combination, or the fairness of the proposed business combination.</P>
