Special purpose acquisition companies or “SPACs” are an increasingly popular way for private companies to become publicly traded without undergoing a traditional initial public offering. SPACs are companies with no commercial operations that are formed strictly to raise capital through an IPO for the purpose of acquiring one or more unspecified businesses or assets. If a business combination with an identified target is consummated (referred to as the “de-SPAC transaction”), the SPAC and the target business will combine into a publicly traded company. The Clearinghouse is tracking class action lawsuits involving SPACs filed since the beginning of 2019.
