If we liquidate, our public shareholders may only receive their pro rata share of amounts held in the Trust Account, and our units and Founder Shares will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose any potential investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.
