This episode of The Ticker podcast comes to you from the Citadel Securities trading post on the floor of the NYSE.
IR Magazine’s Jeff Cossette talks with Phil Denning, a partner at ICR, about the growth of special purpose acquisition companies (Spacs), which last year recorded 59 IPOs in the US. They discuss how regulatory changes led to a booming Spac market and why companies require an ‘aggressive’ approach to IR as they transition out of the Spac structure.

In this podcast, you’ll hear about:
– Why the Spac market has grown strongly
