Line 1: Line 1:
''Special purpose vehicles - acquisitions - reverse takeovers - SPACs.''
Regulation for the welfare of the financial system as a whole rather than individual financial institutions.


SPAC is an abbreviation for Special Purpose Acquisition Company.
One insight from the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) was that bank viability regulation at the macro/systemic level had been dangerously neglected pre-crisis.
 
SPACs are companies formed to (1) Raise money from investors, and then (2) Use the money raised to acquire, or merge with, another operating business.
 
 
A de-SPAC transaction, or process, is part of the life cycle of the SPAC.
 
De-SPACing is the process by which the former SPAC ceases to be a SPAC, and the newly merged company becomes a public company.
