they are not full-time, leading to potential conflicts in allocating time to NETC versus other businesses, including Nabors[336](index=336&type=chunk)[344](index=344&type=chunk) - Conflicts of interest may arise from officers and directors having fiduciary/contractual obligations to other entities (e.g., Nabors) and their significant economic interest in founder shares (purchased at **~$0.004/share**), potentially influencing business combination decisions[345](index=345&type=chunk)[346](index=346&type=chunk)[349](index=349&type=chunk)[355](index=355&type=chunk)[356](index=356&type=chunk) - The sponsor and initial stockholders control the election of directors until the business combination and hold a substantial interest (**20% of common stock, 71% of voting power** post-combination), allowing them to exert significant influence on corporate actions[360](index=360&type=chunk)[302](index=302&type=chunk) [General Risk Factors](index=121&type=section&id=1A.5%20General%20Risk%20Factors) General risks include dilution, emerging growth company status affecting comparability, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, anti-takeover provisions, and cyber incidents - Issuance of additional common or preferred stock, or conversion of Class B common stock, could significantly dilute existing equity interests, subordinate common stock rights, and affect market prices[365](index=365&type=chunk)[368](index=368&type=chunk) - As an "emerging growth company," NETC benefits from exemptions but may be less attractive to some investors, leading to less active trading and more volatile prices, and its financial statements may not be comparable to non-emerging growth companies[366](index=366&type=chunk)[367](index=367&type=chunk) - Compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Act, especially for a target business, may increase time and costs for acquisition;
