Don’t look SPAC in anger: structuring business combinations involving offshore incorporated SPACs
Episode 2
Wednesday, 2 June, 2021

In our second episode George Weston, Partner in our Corporate team in the BVI and an expert on ECM and M&A transactions, and Murray Roberts, Director at Harneys Fiduciary based on the US West Coast, discuss de-SPAC transactions and the options available for structuring business combinations where a SPAC is incorporated offshore. Although the SPAC IPO boom witnessed throughout 2020 and Q1 2021 continues to taper off somewhat, the Cayman Islands and BVI will continue to remain absolutely central to the global M&A markets as large numbers of SPACs incorporated offshore continue to seek merger targets.
