EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. and Sova Capital Limited are serving as the joint book-running managers of the offering. The underwriters have been granted a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,250,000 units at the initial public offering price to cover over-allotments, if any.

All sales of the units in the United States will be made by U.S. registered broker-dealers.
