April 22, 2021
SPACs have represented a significant portion of private equity dealmaking, having become a viable exit alternative for PE portfolio companies.

In this video broadcast, members of Dechert's corporate practice and experts from Houlihan Lokey discuss the key issues that a PE sponsor must consider when contemplating a SPAC transaction, including “SPAC math” and other fundamentals, pro forma ownership, management and control, IPO readiness and what the SEC’s position may mean for the vehicle going forward.
