SPACs (“Special Purpose Acquisition Companies”) burst into mainstream popularity in 2020 as a financing alternative to traditional Initial Public Offerings (“IPOs”) and private placements after years of on-again-off-again vogue. While SPACs are not for every business financing need, they have largely shed an earlier sometimes negative reputation and emerged as a mainstream alternative in the palette of financing options.
