From the filing
We do not have any specific business combination under consideration and neither we nor anyone acting on our behalf has, directly or indirectly, contacted any prospective target business or had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, regarding such a transaction.
BackOne of our founders is our sponsor, QUANT CORE HOLDINGS LIMITED, a British Virgin Islands business company with limited liability.
BackPursuant to the NASDAQ listing rules, our initial business combination must be with a target business or businesses whose collective fair market value is at least equal to 80% of the balance in the trust account (excluding taxes payable on the income earned on the trust account) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for such business combination, although this may entail simultaneous acquisitions of several target businesses.
BackFor further information, see “ Risk Factors — We may issue additional ordinary shares or preferred shares to complete our initial business combination or under an employee incentive plan after completion of our initial business combination. Any such issuances would dilute the interest of our shareholders and likely present other risks ” on page 70, and “ Risk Factors — We may be unable to obtain additional financing to complete our initial business combination or to fund the operations and growth of a target business, which could compel us to restructure or abandon a particular business combination .” on page 58 of this prospectus.
BackAs a special purpose acquisition company, our current business activities only involve preparation of this offering and will involve searching for targets and consummation of a business combination following this offering.
Backif there is any regulatory change which prohibits the independent accountants from providing audit documentations located in mainland China or Hong Kong to the PCAOB for inspection or investigation or the PCAOB expands the scope of the Determination Report so that the target company or the combined company is subject to the HFCAA, as the same may be amended, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection which could result in limitation or restriction to our access to the U.S. capital markets and trading of our securities on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the U.S. may be prohibited, under the HFCAA.

Risk factors
- UCSB Acquisition Corp. faces risks due to officers and directors located in or tied to China. 1
- The Chinese government may intervene in UCSB's business combination search through its officers and directors. 2
- UCSB Acquisition Corp. may complete a business combination even if a majority of shareholders redeem their shares. 3
- UCSB Acquisition Corp. may need additional financing to complete its initial business combination. 4
- The company has a choice-of-forum provision designating the British Virgin Islands as the exclusive forum for certain shareholder disputes. 5
- There is uncertainty about whether courts will enforce the choice-of-forum provisions in the company's documents. 6
From the filing
Certain of our officers and directors are located in or have significant ties to China, which may make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial business combination.
BackThe Chinese government may intervene or influence our operations at any time through our directors and officers who are based in or have significant ties in China, which could result in a material change in our search for a target business and the value of the securities we are offering.
BackWe may be able to complete our initial business combination even though a substantial majority of our public shareholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or, if we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination and do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, have entered into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to our sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or their affiliates.
BackWe may be unable to obtain additional financing to complete our initial business combination or to fund the operations and growth of a target business, which could compel us to restructure or abandon a particular business combination.
BackOur amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will designate the courts of the British Virgin Islands as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our shareholders,
BackThere is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provisions, and the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ memorandum and articles of association or other charter documents has been challenged in legal proceedings.
