Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through approximately one year from the date these unaudited financial statements were issued. Management intends to consummate a Business Combination prior to July 23, 2024. These unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b><i>Risks and Uncertainties</i></b></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Various social and political circumstances in the U.S. and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, including rising trade tensions between the United States and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the U.S. and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics), may also contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the U.S. and worldwide. Specifically, the rising conflict in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine, and resulting market volatilities could adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination. In response to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the U.S. and other countries have imposed sanctions or other restrictive actions against Russia. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination and the value of the Company’s securities.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"> </p>

Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and, accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"> </p>
