For those who didn’t watch or listen, IPO Edge welcomes you to read the following interviews, adapted from our latest Webinar: SPACs – Can They Capitalize on the Current Environment?, sponsored by Stifel and ICR, downloadable free at IPO Edge Premium.
The coronavirus crisis triggered a plunge in asset valuations as well as a liquidity crisis among both public and private companies. The current environment may present an opportunity for SPACs, which currently have over $18 billion in cash that can be deployed strategically in coming months.
Topics for the Webinar included the benefits of SPACs as a path to liquidity, the possibility of a SPAC merging with an already-listed company, companies choosing SPACs over regular-way IPOs, the role of PIPEs in future SPAC transactions, and the outlook for new fundraising. The Webinar replay with a slide deck is also available here.
