Special Purpose Acquisition Companies
What is a SPAC?
A SPAC is an investment vehicle formed through an Initial Public Offering (IPO) whose purpose is to acquire operating businesses.
Benefits of a SPAC
SPACs are efficient vehicles for raising capital through the IPO process, though without the typical IPO pricing risks. They provide equity capital for growth and investment without excessive debt and debt service costs. Since the SPAC is newly formed, investors don't face unexpected liabilities. SPACs provide for targeted, opportunistic business combinations by experienced management teams.
SPAC Process Simplified
A company is formed with the intent of conducting an IPO to raise capital to be used to acquire one or more to-be-determined businesses or assets. Management teams, known as SPAC Sponsors, provide general governance, conduct the IPO, and identify potential acquisition targets. SPAC Sponsors in general have 18-24 months to identify the acquisition target. When the combination is announced, SPAC shareholders may elect to either redeem their shares for cash held in trust or receive shares in the newly combined company.
