We express no opinion as to validity or the binding effect of obligations to make any payment at an increased rate on overdue amounts or on the happening of an event of default or to pay a specified rate of interest on the amount of a judgment after the date of judgment. In addition, any provision expressly or impliedly providing that certain statements, calculations and/or certificates are incorrect on their face or fraudulent will not necessarily prevent judicial enquiry into the merits of a claim of an aggrieved party. We express no opinion in respect of the enforceability of any provision in the Transaction Documents which purports to fetter the statutory powers of the Company.

We have made no investigation of and express no opinion in relation to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Cayman Islands. This opinion is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and is limited to and is given on the basis of the current law and practice in the Cayman Islands. This opinion is issued solely for your benefit and is not to be relied upon by any other person, firm or entity or in respect of any other matter.

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

| 1. | As of the Certificate Date, the Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and is validly existing as an exempted company and in good standing (meaning that it has not failed to make any filing with any Cayman Islands government authority or to pay any Cayman Islands government fee or tax which might make it liable to be struck off the Register of Companies and thereby cease to exist under the laws of the Cayman Islands).

| 2. | When issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the offering described in the Transaction Documents and recorded in the register of members of the Company, the Units (and the Class A Ordinary Shares and the Warrants thereunder) will be validly issued fully-paid and non-assessable (which term when used herein means that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue thereof).

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as exhibit 5.2 to the Registration Statement and to the references to our firm under the captions “Risk Factors”, “Description of Securities” and “Legal Matters” and elsewhere in the Preliminary Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are experts within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act or that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder. It may not be used, circulated or otherwise referred to any other for any other purpose as set out herein.

Yours faithfully,

Conyers Dill & Pearman LLP
