What is a SPAC?

from The Investor Relations Podcast · host Joshua Wilson

Understanding SPACs: A Quick OverviewIn this episode, Mike delves into the concept of Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs). He explains that a SPAC is formed to enter into a business combination with a private entity to take it public. SPACs are listed on NASDAQ or NYSE, and the funds raised are placed in trust, with additional at-risk capital used to pay underwriter fees during the IPO.The process is faster than traditional IPOs, but the subsequent de-SPAC process can take around 4 to 6 months.Disclaimer: Joshua Wilson is a licensed Florida real estate broker and holds FINRA Series 79 and Series 63 licensure.
