“As a blank check company, we have no operations and therefore do not have any operations of our own that face material cybersecurity threats. However, we do depend on the digital technologies of third parties, including information systems, infrastructure and cloud applications and services, any sophisticated and deliberate attacks on, or security breaches in, systems or infrastructure or the cloud that we utilize, including those of third parties, could lead to corruption or misappropriation of our assets, proprietary information and sensitive or confidential data. …”see in full comparison

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Item 1C. Cybersecurity
As a blank check company, we have no operations
and therefore do not have any operations of our own that face material cybersecurity threats. However, we do depend on the digital technologies
of third parties, including information systems, infrastructure and cloud applications and services, any sophisticated and deliberate
attacks on, or security breaches in, systems or infrastructure or the cloud that we utilize, including those of third parties, could lead
to corruption or misappropriation of our assets, proprietary information and sensitive or confidential data. Because of our reliance on
the technologies of third parties, we also depend upon the personnel and the processes of third parties to protect against cybersecurity
threats, and we have no personnel or processes of our own for this purpose. In the event of a cybersecurity incident impacting us, the
management team will report to the board of directors and provide updates on the management team’s incident response plan for addressing
and mitigating any risks associated with such an incident. As an early-stage company without significant investments in data security
protection, we may not be sufficiently protected against such occurrences. We also lack sufficient resources to adequately protect against,
or to investigate and remediate any vulnerability to, cyber incidents. It is possible that any of these occurrences, or a combination
of them, could have material adverse consequences on our business and lead to financial loss. We have established certain processes for
identifying, evaluating, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats as a part of our overall technology management strategy.
These processes are designed and reassessed on a periodic basis to help protect our technology assets and operations from internal and
external security threats.
