Item 4. Ownership

   Provide the following information regarding the aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities of the issuer identified in Item 1.

(a) Amount Beneficially Owned:

   As of the date of this filing, Integrated Core Strategies (US) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Integrated Core Strategies"), is the beneficial owner of 3,582,151 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, of which 165,800 shares are a constituent part of the Company’s units. Each unit consists of one share of Common Stock and one warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $7.50 ("Warrant"). Each Warrant will become exercisable upon the Company’s completion of a business combination. However, no Warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock unless, at the time such holder seeks to exercise such Warrant, the Company has a registration statement under the Securities Act in effect covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to the Common Stock. The Warrants will expire on September 28, 2011, or earlier upon redemption. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not announced the completion of a business combination and therefore, the above-described Warrants are not currently exercisable. In addition to the 165,800 Warrants held as a constituent part of the units, Integrated Core Strategies holds an additional 10,648,230 Warrants, which also are not currently exercisable.

   As of the date of this filing, Millenco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Millenco"), is the beneficial owner of 150,100 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

   Millennium Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Millennium Management"), is the general partner of the managing member of Integrated Core Strategies, and may be deemed to have shared voting control and investment discretion over securities owned by Integrated Core Strategies. Millennium Management is also the manager of Millenco, and may also be deemed to have shared voting control and investment discretion over securities owned by Millenco. Israel A. Englander ("Mr. Englander") is the managing member of Millennium Management. Consequently, Mr. Englander may also be deemed to have shared voting control and investment discretion over securities beneficially owned by Integrated Core Strategies and Millenco. The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by Millennium Management or Mr. Englander as to beneficial ownership of the securities owned by Integrated Core Strategies and/or Millenco, as the case may be.

(b) Percent of Class:   

   Millennium Management and Mr. Englander may be deemed to beneficially own 3,732,251 shares or 5.4% of the Company’s Common Stock (see Item 4(a) above), which percentage was calculated based on 69,000,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 10, 2009, as per the Company’s Form 10-K dated March 10, 2009.

 (c) Number of shares as to which such person has:
