Each redeemable Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one-half (1/2) of one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per full share (subject to adjustment), upon the later to occur of (i) the Company’s completion of a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”) or (ii) 12 months from the closing of the Company’s initial public offering.

The ordinary shares, Rights and Warrants comprising the Units represented by this certificate are not transferable separately prior to the ninetieth (52nd) day after the date of the prospectus relating to the Company’s initial public offering, unless Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) determines that an earlier date is acceptable, but in no event will the ordinary shares, Rights and Warrants be traded separately until the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a current report on Form 8-K which includes an audited balance sheet reflecting the receipt by the Company of the gross proceeds from its initial public offering including the proceeds received by the Company from the exercise of the over-allotment option thereto, if the over-allotment option is exercised. If Maxim allows separate trading of the ordinary shares, Rights and Warrants prior to the 52nd day after the date of the prospectus relating to the Company’s initial public offering, the Company will issue a press release and file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC announcing when such separate trading shall begin.

 

The terms of the Warrants and Rights are governed by a warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”), dated as of [●], 2021, and a rights agreement (the “Rights Agreement”), dated as of [●], 2021, respectively, both between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as the warrant agent and rights agent, and are subject to the terms and provisions contained therein, all of which terms and provisions the holder of this certificate consents to by acceptance hereof.
