San Francisco, CA - Woodruff Sawyer, one of the largest insurance brokerages in the US, announced today they’re hosting the 2020 SPAC Mid-Year Update Webinar on June 30 at 1PM EDT. With experts from EY, Nasdaq, Skadden, Donnelley Financial Solutions, and RBC Capital Markets, this 90-minute webinar will provide SPAC sponsors and market participants with the latest SPAC market updates, practical insights, and advice from SPAC industry leaders.
Priya Huskins, Woodruff Sawyer’s Senior Vice President, Management Liability, comments, “2020 is shaping up to be an exciting year for SPACs with 33 IPOs having taken place raising over $10.5B. While less well-known than their traditional IPO counterparts, the SPAC IPO is becoming a popular alternative and viable option for taking a company public. Our goal is to help our clients recognize and mitigate the specific risks that SPACs present which can mean the difference between a successful SPAC and a flop.”
The webinar will be composed of two parts. Part one focuses on SPAC IPOs, how COVID-19 is changing the environment, running an IPO from filing to listing, and options and costs to watch out for. Part two will look at the latest developments in SPAC combinations (DE-SPACs), the current acquisition market, tips on valuation and costs. There will be time for questions from the audience.
