DESCRIPTION:\n \nPlease be reminded that this is an e-seminar which can be accessed anytime to obtain the CPD hours.\nIn the past two years\, the strong growth momentum of listings special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) in the US has drawn much market attention\, especially among investors and companies planning to go public. The new SPAC listing regime in Hong Kong have also caught widespread attention. \nThe Stock Exchange of Hong Kong released its consultation conclusions and new rules for a listing regime for SPACs on 17 December 2021 as part of efforts to elevate Hong Kong’s leadership as an international fundraising center.

The SPAC listing regime in Hong Kong has been described as being more premium than other such regimes and targets a niche of investors and companies to ensure quality listings with more safeguards. \nIn this live webinar\, the speakers will: \n\nProvide an overview of SPACs and explain the benefits to SPAC investors\, promoters and target companies\nCompare the regime between HK and US SPACs\nReview the recent SPAC market in Hong Kong and its outlook;\nShare common considerations for financial reporting of SPACs in Hong Kong; and\nElaborate common tax considerations during the de-SPAC process.\n\nNo CPD hours will be granted if you have already attended the live webinar on 22 August 2022.\n
