This is a much-needed work in the financial literature, and it is
the first book ever to analyse the use of Special Purpose
Acquisition Companies (SPACs) from a theoretical and practical
perspective. By the end of 2020, more than 240 SPACs were listed in
the US (on NASDAQ or the NYSE), raising a record $83 billion. The
SPAC craze has been shaking the US for months, mainly because of
its simplicity: a bunch of investors decides to buy shares at a
fixed price in a company that initially has no assets. In this way,
a SPAC, also known as a "blank check company", is created as an
empty shell with lots of money to spend on a corporate shopping
spree. Could the trend be here to stay? Are SPACs the new
legitimate path to traditional IPO? This book tackles those
questions and more. The author provides a thorough analysis of
SPACs including their legal framework and how they are used as a
risk mitigation tool to structure transactions. The main objectives
of the book are focused on finding a working definition for SPACs
and theorising on their origins, definition, and evolution;
identifying the objectives of financial regulation within the
context of the recent financial crisis (2007-2010) and the one that
is currently unfolding (Covid-19); and also describing practical
examples of SPACs through a comparative study that, for the first
time, outlines every major capital market on which SPACs are
listed, in order to identify a possible international standard of
regulation. The book is relevant to academics as well as
policymakers, international financial regulators, corporate finance
lawyers as well as to the financial industry tout court.
