Mark Grothe, Senior Research Analyst, M&A and Contested Situations, Glass Lewis, a leading proxy advisor that gives investors recommendation on key shareholder votes, discusses how his firm’s default approach is generally to support SPAC mergers (while still voicing concerns over anything from valuation to governance). He points out that the share price of a SPAC before a deal closes may not reflect the true value of the business. “There’s a lot of trading in and out, there’s a lot of share turnover before that de-SPAC transaction hits and I think you really get away from the fundamental value being reflected,” he says.
