Having worked on more than 120 SPAC transactions since the start of 2021, ICR is positioned to advise those sponsors that choose to, or are unable to, execute a business combination in the current market environment. “Based on the combination of current market conditions and the very large number of SPACs seeking transactions, we recognize not every SPAC will consummate a merger,” said ICR partner Phil Denning. “Those SPACs that find themselves in this predicament must be aware that in addition to stock exchange notification requirements, there are other important communications details to consider when managing a SPAC liquidation and de-listing process.”
