(such as the SEC’s statement on accounting and reporting considerations for warrants in special purpose acquisition companies) which
could result in the need for CCNB to restate its historical financial statements and cause unforeseen delays in the timing of the Business
Combination and negatively impact the trading price of CCNB‘s securities and the attractiveness of the Business Combination to investors;
(k) the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (l) the Company’s
estimates of expenses and profitability and (m) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the final prospectus of CCNB,
