disclosure, please tell us whether your sponsor is, is controlled by, or
has substantial ties
with a non-U.S. person. If so, please revise your disclosure in future
filings to include
disclosure that addresses how this fact could impact your ability to
complete your initial
business combination. For instance, discuss the risk to investors that
you may not be able to
complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target

you to liquidate.
Disclose the consequences of liquidation to investors, such as the losses
of the investment
