Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Report including, without limitation, statements in this section regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. When used in this Report, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the SEC. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.

Overview

We are a newly organized blank check company incorporated on February 16, 2021 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

Our sponsor is Integral Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for our initial public offering was declared effective on November 2, 2021. On November 5, 2021, we consummated our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) of 11,500,000 Units, including the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase 1,500,000 units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Offering costs amounted to $10,757,787 consisting of $2,000,000 of underwriting commissions, $6,050,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, an excess of fair value of the Founder Shares acquired by the Anchor Investors of $3,386,739, and $556,048 of other offering costs (before $1,235,000 of offering costs reimbursed by the underwriter). Of the total offering costs, $10,247,056 was charged to temporary equity and the remaining $510,731 is included in equity.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 4,950,000 warrants, including 90,000 warrants issued in connection with the exercise in full by the underwriter of its option to purchase additional Units (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $4,950,000.

Upon the closing of the IPO, management has agreed that an amount equal to at least $10.15 per Unit sold in the IPO, including the proceeds of the private placement warrants, will be held in a trust account, located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and will invest only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay taxes, if any, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if we are unable to complete an initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the IPO, subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the IPO or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of our creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of our public stockholders.

We will have only 18 months from the closing of the IPO to complete the initial Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). However, if we are unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in each case, to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

As of March 31, 2023, we had approximately $0.4 million in our operating bank account and working capital of approximately $0.5 million.

Prior to the completion of the initial public offering, our liquidity needs had been satisfied through a loan under an unsecured promissory note with the Sponsor totaling $252,950 and the issuance of 2,875,000 shares of Class B common stock at approximately $0.009 per share for gross proceeds of $25,000. There is no balance outstanding under the promissory note as of March 31, 2023. Subsequent to the consummation of the initial public offering, our liquidity needs have been satisfied through the issuance of the private placement warrants, which generated gross proceeds of $4,950,000. In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB’s ASU 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution, should we be unable to complete a Business Combination, raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have until November 3, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution, unless the deadline is further extended. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after November 3, 2023.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on our financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2023, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote (including redemptions made in connection with the Extension) or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

Results of Operations

As of March 31, 2023, we had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 16, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2023 relates to our formation and the IPO and since the closing of the IPO, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and held in out Trust Account. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had net income of $451,060, which consisted of trust interest income of $799,894 and unrealized gain on trust account of $451,512, offset by operating costs of $328,220, an unrealized loss on the change in the fair value of the FPA liability of $219,842 and provision from income tax of $252,284.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had net loss of $1,277,484, which consisted of operating costs of $286,206 and an unrealized loss on the change in the fair value of the FPA liability of $1,005,557, partially offset by trust interest income of $14,279.

17

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities.

Administrative Services Agreement

Commencing on the date the Units are first listed on the Nasdaq, we have agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $20,000 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the Initial Business Combination or its liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. Total administrative fees for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are $60,000 and $40,000, respectively. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $0 is reported on the balance sheet as due to Sponsor for the administrative fees due.

Registration and Stockholder Rights

The holders of the (i) Founder Shares, which were issued in a private placement prior to the closing of this offering, (ii) Private Placement Warrants, which will be issued in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of this offering and the shares of Class A common stock underlying such private placement warrants, (iii) private placement warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans and (iv) the forward purchase shares that may be purchased pursuant to the related forward purchase agreements will have registration rights to require us to register a sale of any of our securities held by them prior to the consummation of our initial Business Combination pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of this offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of our initial Business Combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Engagement of Services

On May 28, 2021, the Company entered into a letter agreement with J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC (“J.V.B.”) pursuant to which the Company engaged Cohen & Company Capital Markets, a division of J.V.B., to provide consulting and advisory services in connection with the IPO in return for a transaction fee to be paid to J.V.B. in an amount equal to 10.0% of the aggregate underwriting discount and commissions earned by the underwriters in connection with the IPO to be paid simultaneously with the actual payment of such underwriting discount and commissions to the underwriters upon (i) the closing of the IPO and (ii) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. J.V.B. was one of the Company’s Anchor Investors that purchased Units in the IPO and became a member of the Company’s Sponsor at the closing of our IPO to hold an indirect interest in a specified number of the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor.

On November 4, 2021, the Company paid J.V.B. $85,000 in cash from funds outside of the Trust Account. Funds due to J.V.B. upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination ($605,000 in the aggregate) will be paid by the underwriters.

Underwriter Agreement

The underwriters are entitled to deferred underwriting commissions of $0.50 on the first 10,000,000 Units sold in the IPO and $0.70 per unit per Unit sold thereafter, or $6,050,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete an Initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement for the offering.

Anchor Investment

Certain qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors (none of which are affiliated with any member of the Company’s management team, the Sponsor or any other anchor investor) (the “Anchor Investors”), have purchased an aggregate of approximately $60.8 million of the units in the IPO at the public offering price. There can be no assurance that the Anchor Investors will retain their Units prior to or upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination. In addition, none of the Anchor Investors has any obligation to vote any of their public shares in favor of the initial Business Combination.

The anchor investors have not been granted any stockholder or other rights that are in addition to those granted to our other public stockholders, and will only be issued equity interests in our Sponsor, with no right to control our Sponsor or vote or dispose of any securities held by our Sponsor. Further, unlike some anchor investor arrangements of other blank check companies, the anchor investors are not required to (i) hold any units, Class A common stock or warrants they may purchase in this offering or thereafter for any amount of time, (ii) vote any shares of Class A common stock they may own at the applicable time in favor of our initial Business Combination or (iii) refrain from exercising their right to redeem their public shares at the time of our initial Business Combination. The anchor investors will have the same rights to the funds held in the trust account with respect to the Class A common stock underlying the units they may purchase in the IPO as the rights afforded to the Company’s other public stockholders.

18

Forward Purchase Shares

Crescent Park, which is one of the Company’s Anchor Investors, and Carnegie Park have agreed, as the forward purchasers pursuant to their respective forward purchase agreements entered into with the Company, to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of Class A common stock in the case of Crescent Park and up to 500,000 shares of Class A common stock in the case of Carnegie Park (referred to herein as the forward purchase shares) at $10.00 per share (as such price per share may be reduced to $9.20 per share or further reduced to below $9.20 per share with respect to all or part of the forward purchase shares that are purchased in the manner described below) for gross proceeds up to $30,000,000 in the aggregate if all of the forward purchase shares are purchased at $10.00 per share (or up to $27,600,000 in the aggregate if all of the forward purchase shares are purchased at $9.20 per share or up to a lower amount in the aggregate if all of the forward purchase shares are purchased at less than $9.20 per share) in private placements that occurred concurrently with the consummation of the initial Business Combination.

The price to be paid for forward purchase shares will be reduced to or below $9.20 per share in the following circumstances:

One of the forward purchasers and/or its affiliates is expected to purchase the Company’s public units. If such forward purchaser and/or any of its affiliates sell more than 50% of the aggregate number of the public units purchased in the IPO or, following the separate trading of the public shares and the public warrants, the public shares that are a component of the public units that are purchased by the forward purchaser or any of its affiliates in the IPO, in sales that are consummated on or prior to the initial Business Combination, then the price per share for the forward purchase shares will remain at $10.00 per share for forward purchase shares in an aggregate number equal to the number of public units and public shares sold by the forward purchaser and/or its affiliates in such manner.

The following assumptions were utilized in the determination of fair value for the FPA liability:

19

The purchase of forward purchase shares by Crescent Park and Carnegie Park as the forward purchasers pursuant to their respective forward purchase agreements will be subject to their respective internal approval processes and the other closing conditions set forth in their respective forward purchase agreements. Since the decision whether or not to purchase the forward purchase shares will be in the sole discretion of the forward purchasers, there can be no assurance that such purchases will be consummated.

Each of the forward purchasers has the right to transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligation to purchase the forward purchase shares to one or more transferees who are affiliates of the forward purchaser (the “forward transferees”), subject to compliance with applicable securities laws. Any such forward transferee will be subject to the same terms and conditions under the relevant forward purchase agreement. The forward purchase shares will be identical to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the units being sold in the IPO, except that they will be subject to certain registration rights and transfer restrictions. The funds from the sale of the forward purchase shares will be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial Business Combination and any excess funds will be used for working capital in the post-transaction company. This commitment is independent of the percentage of stockholders electing to redeem their public shares and is intended to provide the Company with a minimum funding level for the initial Business Combination.

Critical Accounting Policies

Forward Purchase Agreement liability

We account for the 3,000,000 forward purchase shares (as described in Note 4) issued pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreements (the “FPA”) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the FPA shares do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each FPA share must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, we classify each FPA share as a liability at its fair value. This liability is subject tore-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the FPA liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the statement of operations.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 11,500,000 common stock sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with our liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all shares of Class A common stock have been classified outside of permanent equity.

We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.

20

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding common stock subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor. Weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 375,000 common stock that are subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option is not exercised by the underwriters. At March 31, 2023, we did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic income (loss) per share for the period presented.

Warrants

We account for the 10,700,000 warrants issued in connection with the IPO (comprised of 5,750,000 Public Warrants and 4,950,000 Private Placement Warrants) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that the warrants described are not precluded from equity classification. Equity-classified contracts are initially measured at fair value (or allocated value). Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.

Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations

Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in Ukraine. We cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item.

21

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to identified material weaknesses related to errors in fair value calculation of certain financial instruments and unrecorded liabilities. Management plans to enhance internal controls and procedures, including enhancing access to accounting literature, identification and consideration of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications and implementing additional layers of reviews in the financial close process.

In light of these material weaknesses, we have enhanced our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements including making greater use of third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. We believe our efforts will enhance our controls relating to accounting for complex financial transactions, but we can offer no assurance that our controls will not require additional review and modification in the future as industry accounting practice may evolve over time.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than as discussed above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 covered by this Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

22

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

To the knowledge of our management team, there is no litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property

As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Report. However, as of the date of this Report, other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors previously disclosed in our (i) Registration Statement, (ii) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2022 and March 31, 2023, respectively, (iii) our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2022, as filed with the SEC on May 16, 2022, August 15, 2022, and November 14, 2022, respectively; and (iv) our Definitive Proxy Statement, as filed with SEC on April 13, 2023. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks could arise that may also affect our business or ability to consummate an initial Business Combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

Recent increases in inflation and interest rates in the United States and elsewhere could make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial business combination.

Recent increases in inflation and interest rates in the United States and elsewhere may lead to increased price volatility for publicly traded securities, including ours, and may lead to other national, regional and international economic disruptions, any of which could make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial business combination.

Market conditions, economic uncertainty or downturns could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and our ability to consummate a business combination.

In recent years, the United States and other markets have experienced cyclical or episodic downturns, and worldwide economic conditions remain uncertain, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions, the Ukraine-Russia conflict, instability in the U.S. and global banking systems, rising fuel prices, increasing interest rates or foreign exchange rates and high inflation and the possibility of a recession. A significant downturn in economic conditions may make it more difficult for us to consummate a business combination.

We cannot predict the timing, strength, or duration of any future economic slowdown or any subsequent recovery generally, or in any industry. If the conditions in the general economy and the markets in which we operate worsen from present levels, our business, financial condition, operating results and our ability to consummate a business combination could be adversely affected. For example, in January 2023, the outstanding national debt of the U.S. government reached its statutory limit. The U.S. Department of the Treasury has announced that, since then, it has been using extraordinary measures to prevent the U.S. government’s default on its payment obligations, and to extend the time that the U.S. government has to raise its statutory debt limit or otherwise resolve its funding situation. The failure by Congress to raise the federal debt ceiling could have severe repercussions within the U.S. and to global credit and financial markets. If Congress does not raise the debt ceiling, the U.S. government could default on its payment obligations, or experience delays in making payments when due. A payment default or delay by the U.S. government, or continued uncertainty surrounding the U.S. debt ceiling, could result in a variety of adverse effects for financial markets, market participants and U.S. and global economic conditions. In addition, U.S. debt ceiling and budget deficit concerns have increased the possibility a downgrade in the credit rating of the U.S. government and could result in economic slowdowns or a recession in the U.S. Although U.S. lawmakers have passed legislation to raise the federal debt ceiling on multiple occasions, ratings agencies have lowered or threatened to lower the long-term sovereign credit rating on the United States as a result of disputes over the debt ceiling. The impact of a potential downgrade to the U.S. government’s sovereign credit rating or its perceived creditworthiness could adversely affect economic conditions, as well as our business, financial condition, operating results and our ability to consummate a business combination.
