What EY can do for you

Our EY professionals began focusing on SPACs more than a decade ago, well before they became a “mainstream” alternative for companies looking to access the capital markets. Since then, our integrated, independent and objective teams have assisted on more than 100 SPAC transactions and counting across various target company industries, as well as 20-plus cross-border transactions. We have been involved in 14 of the 20 highest total equity value deals completed since 2016, according to SPAC Research.

Our breadth of experience encompasses transactions that involve umbrella partnership corporations (Up-Cs), carve-outs, multiple targets and other complex structures. Our deep-rooted experience and extensive history navigating the opportunities and risks of the SPAC market, combined with our market leadership in taking companies public, uniquely positions EY professionals to help SPAC sponsors and target companies evaluate opportunities, make transactions more efficient and achieve their strategic goals.
