       Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement filed on December 14, 2022

       Private Placement Units, page 132

   1.                                                   We note your disclosure
hereunder that the warrants included in the "private placement
                                                        units will be
redeemable and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants
                                                        included in the units
being sold in this offering." However, we note in your definition of
                                                        warrants on page 1 (and
related disclosures elsewhere in the filing) that private placement
                                                        warrants are redeemable
"to the extent that they are no longer held by the initial
                                                        purchasers of the
private placement units or their permitted transferees." Because the
                                                        settlement amount for
the subject warrants depends solely on who holds the instrument,
                                                        and this is not an
input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option or forward on equity
                                                        shares, it appears this
provision would cause the private placement warrants to fail Step 2
                                                        of the indexation
guidance under ASC 815-40-15. If so, the private placement warrants

      would be classified as liabilities. Please clarify if this is the case,
and revise your
      disclosure as appropriate.
