SPAC Team
Leaders from the Beginning
Legend’s dedicated Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) banking team has unique comprehensive transaction expertise and a record of success in multiple deals through all stages.
Since 2003, we’ve been a leader in the emergence of SPACs as one of the financial industry’s most dynamic asset classes. Legend has been involved in the distribution of 87 of the 150 SPAC IPO’s (as of early 2008), or 58% of the total. During this time, Legend has co-managed 22 transactions, totaling approximately $2 Billion. This deep experience has led issuers and underwriters alike to seek us out as partners, from putting together teams to our well-known strategic and marketing support on the critical “back-end” of deals. Legend has also now become the “broker of choice” for many large buy-side players and we are highly active in secondary market trading of SPACs. We are a volume leader in AMEX and OTCBB SPAC; approximately 25 million units, common shares, and warrants are traded by Legend each month.
