    SPAC Target Selection: Sectors, Suitability, and Pitfalls

    In this episode of The SPAC Podcast, Patrick Sturgeon, Managing Partner at Brookline Capital Markets, discusses what types of companies are best suited for going public through a SPAC merger. He explains why fundamentally strong businesses with good products, growth potential, and solid operating margins make attractive public companies. Patrick also highlights why certain asset-heavy sectors — such as banks, insurance companies, real estate, or asset-based businesses — may not be as well-suited to SPAC structures, where dilution from the sponsor promote could reduce value. His insights help clarify which companies align better with the SPAC model.

    New SPAC Rules Help or Hinder Market Access?

    In this episode of The SPAC Podcast, Nick Morgan, Partner at Paul Hastings LLP and co-founder of ICAN (Investor Choice Advocates Network), discusses the SEC’s new SPAC rules and their impact on investor access. Nick argues that while the rules were framed as investor protection, in practice they reflect what he calls a “protection through prohibition” mindset. By making disclosure obligations more difficult and transaction costs higher, the rules effectively reduce the number of SPACs and with them, the opportunities available to everyday investors. For Nick and ICAN, the core principle is simple: Some SPACs will be good, some will be bad, but it should be up to investors to decide not regulators restricting access. This conversation is essential for anyone interested in the balance between investor protection and investor choice in today’s capital markets.

    Why D&O Insurance Premiums Have Dropped Since 2021

    In this episode of The SPAC Podcast, Machua Millett, Chief Innovation Officer at Lockton Companies, explains how the Directors & Officers (D&O) insurance landscape for SPACs and de-SPACs has evolved since the 2021 boom. Following a surge in SPAC IPOs, deal volume, and resulting litigation, insurance premiums spiked sharply in 2021. At their peak, SPAC-related policies were among the most expensive in the public company space. But according to Machua, that environment has shifted dramatically. Premiums and deductibles have dropped by as much as 60–70%, and coverage terms have improved making this a more favorable market for sponsors, targets, and their boards. For anyone managing risk during a SPAC IPO or de-SPAC transaction, this clip offers a timely and practical snapshot of current conditions in the D&O market.

    How New SEC Rules Could Impact SPAC Sponsors

    In this episode of The SPAC Podcast, Nick Morgan, Partner at Paul Hastings LLP and co-founder of ICAN (Investor Choice Advocates Network), explains how the SEC’s 2024 SPAC rules may affect small sponsors and entrepreneurs navigating the regulatory landscape. Nick emphasizes that while current SEC leadership may not pursue as many aggressive enforcement actions as in prior years, the rules themselves present challenges. In particular, changes to the PSLRA (Private Securities Litigation Reform Act) safe harbor for forward-looking statements raise serious legal questions. Commissioner Hester Peirce even voiced concerns in her dissent, suggesting that the SEC may have overstepped its authority with this rule change an area ripe for potential challenge. For SPAC sponsors and entrepreneurs, the takeaway is clear: the rules may create increased liability exposure for forward-looking disclosures, even if unintentional, making careful legal and compliance planning more important than ever.

    3 Biggest Misconceptions About D&O Insurance

    In this episode of The SPAC Podcast, Machua “Motsch” Millett, Chief Innovation Officer at Lockton Companies, addresses the most common misconceptions SPAC sponsors and board members have when it comes to Directors & Officers (D&O) insurance. Machua dispels the myth that “insurance never pays,” emphasizing that properly structured policies often do. He also clarifies where risk actually lives in a SPAC’s lifecycle: it’s not during the IPO search phase, but rather during and after the de-SPAC transaction, when litigation and SEC enforcement risks significantly increase. Finally, he explains why coverage terms, not just price and deductibles, are the most important factor when evaluating a policy, especially for boards looking to protect personal assets in the event of a claim.

    How ICAN May Challenge SEC’s Final SPAC Rules

    In this episode of The SPAC Podcast, Nick Morgan, Partner at Paul Hastings LLP and co-founder of ICAN (Investor Choice Advocates Network), outlines potential legal and advocacy strategies ICAN may pursue in response to the SEC’s new SPAC rules. Nick points to one central question: Does the SEC even have statutory authority to change PSLRA liability protections? ICAN is considering challenging that very issue, not from a sponsor’s perspective, but from the lens of investors whose choices may be restricted. He also notes that several high-profile rules from the Gensler-era SEC have already been struck down for violating the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), constitutional provisions, or exceeding statutory authority and he believes the new SPAC rules share many of those weaknesses. For sponsors, investors, and market participants, this episode highlights how strategic litigation and advocacy could reshape the regulatory landscape.

She shares how Odyssey is uniquely positioned to support companies through that transition, offering the same capabilities as the largest transfer agents but with the personalized, integrated service of a boutique firm.
