However, members of our management team have been actively in discussions with potential business combination partners in their capacity as officers of Lionheart Acquisition Corporation II, or Lionheart II, an existing blank check company sponsored by Lionheart Equities, LLC, our sponsor, and we may pursue business combination partners that had previously been in discussions with Lionheart II. We may also pursue business combination partners that could be in discussions with Lionheart IV Corp, or Lionheart IV, a blank check company sponsored by Lionheart Equities, LLC, our sponsor, which is in the process of an initial public offering. We may pursue an initial business combination target in any stage of its corporate evolution or in any industry or sector.
