SPAC investor protection requires escrowed IPO proceeds, shareholder approval, redemption rights, timely business combinations, and sponsor restrictions.
SPACs must keep IPO proceeds in an interest-bearing escrow account controlled by an independent custodian until completion of the business combination. Shareholders' approval and a detailed prospectus are required for the proposed combination, with prior approval from a majority of non-sponsor shareholders. Non-sponsor shareholders voting against the combination have redemption rights over their pro rata share of escrowed funds, net of taxes. Failure to complete the combination within the disclosed period results in liquidation of the escrow account and delisting of specified securities.
