- Review the Private Placement Units allocation (372,500 to Sponsor, 287,500 to Jefferies) and any differences in rights compared to public Units.
- Examine the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (Exhibit 3.1) for specific provisions regarding shareholder rights and charter amendments.
