The past year has seen major developments in IPOs, exits in general, and, of course, SPACs. Traditional providers of equity alongside buyers are suddenly faced with competition from SPACs. Is this a real threat for them? What does the SPAC offer to selling shareholders and target companies? IPOs are more abundant than ever, but somewhat contradictory, transactions are structured increasingly with a view to decreasing 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 retain 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 various available tracks do you choose - or should you not choose at all? What has recently changed from a purely legal perspective? The panel will discuss these and many more topics in an efficient to-the-point manner, with plenty of room for delegates to join in.
