Want to fast-track the public listing process? A special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) may well be the best solution.

Tighter rules imposed by regulators have made the public listing process more complicated and time-consuming.

In direct response to this, the SPACs market has reached a fever pitch in recent years, giving private startup new ways to tap into the booming public markets. SPACs present an earlier, easier, and quicker path to going public for value companies with positive cash flow and demonstrable value.

More than 250 SPACs formed in 2020, raising more than US$75 billion for potential mergers and acquisitions – over four times the SPAC activity in 2019.

We’re forming a mini-SPAC!

Our team at C2 Capital Management Ltd is forming a mini-SPAC to identify and support the next disruptive business with the potential to yield substantial returns for shareholders, from fintech and digital health to plant-based alternatives and agricultural technology, storage and transmission services, and more.

Co-sponsors.

We are seeking co-sponsors investing in a blank check company to prepare for an IPO of at least €30m and a subsequent listing on the Nasdaq Stockholm main board.

Key advantages of SPACs on Nasdaq Nordics

  • More time to complete the acquisition of a target company
    Nasdaq Nordics allows for up to 36 months to identify and complete the acquisition of a target company, unlike the 24 months given in the U.S.
  • Reduced financial risk
    On Nasdaq Nordic, only 90% percent of the capital raised during an IPO is required to be held in a trust account, versus the 100% in the U.S. That means 10% of capital funds can be allocated towards costs for performing an acquisition, greatly reducing the risk for running out of funds. SPACs also incur lower pricing risk as price is decided early versus the night before a traditional IPO.
  • Less onerous regulations
    Tougher rules by legislative frameworks in the U.S. FATCA and the EU’s MiFID II have put greater strain on company processes, finances, and human resources. Stockholm offers far more favorable and relaxed rules. Growth companies that go public through SPACs face fewer regulations and constraints because they are technically mergers.
  • Raising capital more quickly
    Traditionally, venture firms have consisted of investors focusing in the long-term on products that take years to develop and even longer to profit from. SPACs have the potential to allow companies to get listed on the stock exchange sooner and sell shares faster, yielding faster returns for limited partners.
