New investment vehicles have gained popularity during the pandemic, such as SPACs (Special Purpose Acquisition Companies), which have also become known as “blank check companies”. The SPAC IPO process is basically a reversed merger: SPACs first raise money on the stock market with a promise to buy a company with pre-defined qualities, and only after raising the money do they find, then merge, with the target.
SPACs are mainly targeting tech and IT companies. While a SPAC brings benefits compared to a traditional IPO (speed, price, certainty), there are also some downsides (shareholding dilution, etc.).
