Positives

Negatives

  • The company's prospects depend entirely on the future performance of a single business after the initial Business Combination.
  • Public Shareholders may suffer significant dilution if the company issues additional securities to complete the initial Business Combination.
  • The company may not be able to complete an initial Business Combination with certain potential target companies if a proposed transaction with the target company may be subject to review or approval by regulatory authorities pursuant to certain U.S. or foreign laws or regulations, including the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.

Risks

  • An active market for the company's public securities may not continue and shareholders may have limited liquidity and trading.
  • The company may attempt to complete its initial Business Combination with a private company about which little information is available, which may result in a Business Combination with a company that is not as profitable as the company suspected, if at all.
  • If the company is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, the company may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and its activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for the company to complete its initial Business Combination.
