Ownership is incorporated by reference to items 5-9 and 11 of the cover page of

The percentage disclosed in item 11 of the cover page of each Reporting Person
is calculated based upon 69,000,000 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding as reported in the Issuer's Form 10Q filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on November 13, 2007.
As part of its initial public offering, the Issuer issued Units (the "Units"),
each Unit having a price of $10.00 and consisting of one ordinary share of
Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Shares"), and one warrant,
each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Share at a price of $7.50
(the "Warrants"). Each Warrant will become exercisable on the later of the
completion by the Issuer of a business combination and October 1, 2008, and will
expire on November 1, 2011, or earlier upon redemption. The Shares and Warrants
that comprise the Units began trading separately as of October 8, 2007. Because
the Issuer has not announced a business combination as of the filing date of
this Schedule 13G, the shares of common stock into which the Warrants are
exercisable have not been included in the number of shares beneficially owned
by each Reporting Person.
