Virtual Sponsored Event | Deloitte: SPACs



Although Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) have been around for decades, they have recently come into vogue as seasoned investors and management teams have turned to SPACs to mitigate the market volatility risk of traditional IPOs.  However, a private company going public through a SPAC transaction comes with its own set of challenges.  We will discuss:

 

  • Conditions and trends driving the momentum of SPACs in 2020.
  • An overview of the lifecycle of a SPAC, from inception through the consummation of a merger.
  • A survey of the core competencies that must be examined and elevated after a target company is acquired.
  • An overview of the regulatory requirements, including SEC compliance for annual and interim financial statements, PCAOB opinion considerations, the Super 8K, and ongoing public company report.
