By the end of 2020, more than 240 SPACs listed in the U.S. (on NASDAQ or the NYSE), raising a record $83 billion. The SPAC craze has been shaking the U.S. for months, mainly because of its simplicity: a bunch of investors decides to buy shares at a fixed price in a company that initially has no assets. In this way, a SPAC, also known as a "blank check company", is created as an empty shell with lots of money to spend on a corporate shopping spree. Could the trend be here to stay? Are SPACs the new legitimate path to traditional IPO? This book tackles those questions and more. The author provides a thorough analysis of SPACs including their legal framework and how they are used as a risk mitigation tool to structure transactions. The main objectives of the book are focused on finding a working definition for SPACs and theorising on their origins, definition, and evolution; identifying the objectives of financial regulation within the context of the recent financial crisis (2007-2010) and the one that is currently unfolding (Covid-19); and also describing practical examples of SPACs through a comparative study that, for the first time, outlines every major capital market on which SPACs are listed, in order to identify a possible international standard of regulation. The book is relevant to academics as well as policymakers, international financial regulators, corporate finance lawyers as well as to the financial industry tout court"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Consolidation and merger of corporations. 650 0 $a Financial institutions, International $x Law and legislation. 650 0 $a Special purpose acquisition companies $x Law and legislation. 650 7 $a Consolidation and merger of corporations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875660 650 7 $a Financial institutions, International $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00924706 776 08 $i Online version: $a D'Alvia, Daniele. $t Mergers, acquisitions, and international financial regulation $b 1. $d New York, NY : Routledge, 2022 $z 9781003102779 $w (DLC) 2021031126 830 0 $a Routledge international studies in money and banking. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021023901.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5D453454DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
