Item 1A. Risk Factors
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, except as described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
Changes in international trade policies, tariffs and treaties affecting imports and exports may have a material adverse effect on our search for an initial Business Combination target, our ability to complete an initial Business Combination, and/or our business, financial condition and results of operations following completion of an initial Business Combination.
There have recently been significant changes to international trade policies and tariffs affecting imports and exports. The U.S. has implemented a range of new tariffs and increases to existing tariffs, and, in response to the tariffs announced by the U.S., other countries have imposed new or increased tariffs on certain exports from the United States. There is currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries with respect to trade policies, government regulations and tariffs. We cannot predict whether, and to what extent, current tariffs will continue or trade policies will change in the future. Any significant increases in tariffs on goods or materials or other changes in trade policy, or the perception that such changes could occur, could negatively affect our search for a Business Combination target and/or our ability to complete our initial Business Combination. For example, if we pursue a target company which sources or manufactures material components outside of the U.S., these changes could materially impact such target companys business and financial performance. Similarly, if we pursue a target company which exports products outside of the U.S., retaliatory tariff and trade measures imposed by other countries could affect such targets ability to export products and therefore adversely affect its sales. We may not be able to adequately address the risks presented by these tariffs or other potential trade policy changes. As a result, we may deem it costly, impractical or risky to complete an initial Business Combination with a particular target or with a target in a particular industry or from a particular country. Consequently, the pool of potential target companies may be reduced, which could impair our ability to identify a suitable target and to complete an initial Business Combination. The business prospects of a particular target for a Business Combination could change even after we enter into a business combination agreement, as a result of tariffs or the threat of tariffs that may have a material impact on that targets business. Accordingly, changes in trade and tariff policies could prevent or make it difficult or more expensive for us to complete an initial Business Combination. Tariffs and threats of tariffs and other potential trade policy changes could also lead to material adverse effects on a post-Business Combination company.
