Our independent director nominees have experience in public company governance, executive leadership, operational oversight and capital markets experience. Our directors also have experience with acquisitions, divestitures and corporate strategy and implementation, which we believe will significantly benefit us as we evaluate potential acquisition or merger candidates as well as following the completion of our initial business combination.
