Gateway to Host Second Installment of SPAC Webinar Series on Thursday, July 30, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. ET

– Webinar to Focus on the “De-SPAC” Period, Features Various Leaders With Significant Business Combination Experience –

Gateway Investor Relations, a 20-year-old leading strategic financial communications and capital markets advisory firm, in partnership with SPACInsider, will host the second installment of its SPAC webinar series on Thursday, July 30th at 2:00 p.m. ET.

The webinar will bring together experienced leaders in the SPAC asset class to discuss important considerations and issues surrounding the de-SPAC phase of the business combination process. The de-SPAC period is the stage after definitive agreement execution but before the actual transaction closing. A significant number of actions are needed to complete a de-SPAC, including the communication of the transaction to the SPAC’s stakeholders. All panelists bring significant experience navigating through the de-SPAC phase or advising companies through this critical period.

The majority of the allotted time of the panel will be devoted to live Q&A, but initial topics will include:
  • The SPAC boom—general commentary on companies interested in being acquired by a SPAC and new investors entering the market.
  • Current financing dynamics, including PIPEs, forward purchase agreements and other back-end arrangements.
  • De-SPAC marketing and diligence during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • The “Robinhood effect” on SPACs—how is retail interest affecting business combinations?
  • Zero warrant SPACs versus the traditional SPAC structure and how it may affect negotiations with a target.
Panelists will include experienced professionals covering all aspects of the SPAC combination process:
  • Tina Pappas, Managing Director, Jefferies
  • Neil Shah, Senior Managing Director, Evercore
  • Elliott Smith, Partner, White & Case
  • Vik Mittal, Portfolio Manager, Glazer Capital Management
  • James Graf, Chief Executive, Graf Industrial Corp.
  • Kristi Marvin, Founder, SPACInsider
  • Cody Slach, Senior Managing Director & Head of SPAC Practice, Gateway IR
