Registration open, ‘Asia SPAC Management Bootcamp' set July 15

KUALA LUMPUR, July 9 -- Marcum Bernstein & Pinchuk LLP (MBP) and Baker McKenzie have opened registration and confirmed the panelist line-up for the co-hosted virtual ‘Asia SPAC Management Bootcamp’ on July 15.

Discussions will feature management of venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE)-funded private companies, special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) sponsors, private investment in public equity (PIPE) funds, investment banks, and SPAC advisers.

“SPACs are chasing deals in Asia right now. With more than 700 unicorns worldwide, half from China, these companies generate significant attention and drive value for the sponsor,” said MBP Co-Managing Partner Drew Bernstein.

“The SPAC boom is poised for continued growth within and from Asia. With SPAC deals moving fast, Asian management teams and dealmakers are preparing to navigate regulations and maximise the open window.”

According to a statement, the panels will be conducted in English with simultaneous translation in Chinese.

"SPAC dealmakers and target companies need to be aware of both the risks and opportunities in the market,” said Partner-in-Charge, Los Angeles and Chair of the North America Securities Litigation Group at Baker McKenzie, Perrie Weiner.

“There is significant upside for these types of deals, and proactively addressing risks can ensure such opportunities can be fully realised.”

MBP offers specialised audit and advisory services to support SPAC sponsors and SPAC targets in Asia. More details at www.marcumbp.com.
