Webinar, Hosted By McDermott Will & Emery
Thursday, August 6, 2020 - 7:30 AM
The interest in special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) transactions continues to skyrocket, with nearly half of all IPOs year-to-date filed by SPACs and with “de-SPAC” transactions increasing.
Join McDermott on Thursday, August 6 as our panelists discuss the SPAC surge, including:
• An overview of SPAC IPOs and SPAC business combinations (“de-SPAC transactions”), including industry trends.
• Trends in SPAC IPOs, including sponsor participation, sponsor economics and investor economics (e.g., warrant terms).
• Risks and issues private equity investors should be aware of when engaging in a transaction with a SPAC.
