Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-fifth of one warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share.

No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. Holders of Units will need to have their brokers contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, in order to separate the holders’ Units into Class A ordinary shares and warrants.
