Subject
to an anti-dilution adjustment, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will

this initial public offering |

| (1) |
The
founder shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation
of our initial business combination, and may be converted at any time prior to our initial business combination, at the option of
the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment (unless otherwise provided in our initial business combination agreement)
for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided
herein. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities (as described herein), are issued or deemed
issued in excess of the amounts offered in this offering and related to or in connection with the closing of our initial business
combination, the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares will convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders
of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to
any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary
shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 25% of the sum of (i) all Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding
upon the completion of this offering (including any Class A ordinary shares issued pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment
option and excluding the representative shares), (ii) plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed
issued in connection with our initial business combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued,
to any seller in the initial business combination), and (iii) minus any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by public shareholders
in connection with an initial business combination or certain amendments to our amended and restated articles of association prior
to an initial business combination; provided that such conversion of founder shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.
If we increase or decrease the size of the offering pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act, we will effect a share capitalization
or a share repurchase or redemption or other appropriate mechanism, as applicable, with respect to our Class B ordinary shares immediately
prior to the consummation of the offering in such amount as to maintain the ownership of founder shares by our sponsor and the at
risk capital investors, or an as-converted basis, at 25% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares upon the consummation of this
offering. |

As

Accordingly,
if any of the above officers or directors become aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for any of the above entities
to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations
to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, and only present it to us if such entity rejects the opportunity, subject
to his or her fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law.
In
addition, our sponsor and our officers and directors may sponsor or form other special purpose acquisition companies similar to ours
or may pursue other business or investment ventures during the period in which we are seeking an initial business combination. As a result,
our sponsor, officers and directors could have conflicts of interest in determining whether to present business combination opportunities
to us or to any other special purpose acquisition company with which they may become involved. These conflicts may not be resolved in
our favor and a potential target business may be presented to other entities prior to its presentation to us. Any such companies, businesses
or investments may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing an initial business combination target, which could materially
affect our ability to complete our initial business combination.
We
are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our sponsor, officers or directors.
In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with such a company, we, or a committee of independent directors, would
obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent firm that commonly renders valuation opinions for
the type of company we are seeking to acquire or an independent accounting firm, that such an initial business combination is fair to
our company from a financial point of view.
In
the event that we submit our initial business combination to our public shareholders for a vote, each of our sponsor, our officers and
directors, and the at-risk capital investors have agreed, pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement entered into with us, to vote any
founder shares held by them (and their permitted transferees will agree) and/or any public shares, as applicable, purchased during or
after the offering, as applicable, in favor of our initial business combination (except that any public shares such parties may purchase
in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act would not be voted in favor of approving the business combination).
We
cannot assure you that any of the above mentioned conflicts will be resolved in our favor.In
the event that we submit our initial business combination to our public shareholders for a vote, our sponsor, officers and directors,
and the at-risk capital investors have agreed to vote their founder shares and they and the other members of our management team have
agreed to vote their founder shares and any shares purchased during or after the offering in favor of our initial business combination,
aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, which would not be voted
in favor of approving the business combination transaction.
