“SPACs have dominated the U.S. IPO market in 2021, with 308 SPAC IPOs raising over $98 billion thus far this year. In recent months, there has been a surge of SPACs focused on Asia as the format gains acceptance with the major venture and private equity investors in the region and investment banks gear up local SPAC teams,” said MBP Co-Managing Partner Drew Bernstein. “The recent announcement of what could be the most highly valued SPAC merger in history coming out of Southeast Asia underscores that SPACs have come into their own as a legitimate alternative to IPOs and that Asia is the next frontier for compelling SPAC targets.”

This webinar will explore the SPAC vehicle’s potential to bring innovative Asian “unicorns” to the U.S. capital markets. Industry experts will explain the factors driving the surge in interest among Asian dealmakers, the potential advantages for high-growth companies from Greater China and Southeast Asia of going public with experienced sponsors, and the unique due diligence, governance, and transparency issues associated with Asian issuers.

The panel will explore topics including:

  • Why does Asia provide a target-rich environment for innovative, high-growth companies?
  • What has led Asian private equity and venture community to embrace the SPAC format?
  • How receptive are “unicorn” companies in Greater China and Southeast Asia to the SPAC as an attractive path to public status and growth capital?
  • What unique challenges do Asian targets present regarding due diligence, “SPAC-readiness,” internal controls, investor communications, and governance?
  • How can sponsors add value beyond capital injection and craft winning partnerships with management teams?

Please join us for this timely and insightful expert discussion.
