SUMMARY:IPOs\, SPACs and other exit trends in exits in the technology sec
 tor
DESCRIPTION:The past year has seen major developments in IPOs\, exits in 
 general\, and\, of course\, SPACs. Traditional providers of equity along
 side buyers are suddenly faced with competition from SPACs. Is this a re
 al threat for them? What does the SPAC offer to selling shareholders and
  target companies? IPOs are more abundant than ever\, but somewhat contr
 adictory\, transactions are structured increasingly with a view to decre
 asing market risk\; for example\, by eliminating retail offerings where 
 legally possible and by securing significant cornerstone commitments. In
  certain markets\, founders and selling shareholders are permitted to re
 tain long-term control after IPO. Is this here to stay? Does this differ
  from what we see in the US? If you decide to exit\, which of the variou
 s available tracks do you choose - or should you not choose at all? What
  has recently changed from a purely legal perspective? The panel will di
 scuss these and many more topics in an efficient to-the-point manner\, w
 ith plenty of room for delegates to join in.
