Item 4.  Ownership.

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 51,750,000 shares of common stock reported to be
outstanding as of November 14, 2008 by the Issuer in its Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2008 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on November 14, 2008.

HBK Master Fund L.P. holds an aggregate of 276,300 warrants, each warrant
entitling the holder to purchase one share of the Issuer's common stock at a
price of $7.50(the "Warrants"). Each Warrant will become exercisable upon the
completion by the Issuer of a business combination, provided that the Issuer
has an effective registration statement covering the shares of common stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to
them is available. The Warrants will expire on August 1, 2012, or earlier upon
redemption. Because the Issuer has not completed 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 any Reporting Person.
