14 April 2022
Hong Kong
Ogier has assisted five special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) out of the 12 which have submitted listing applications to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) in 2022.
These are the first batch of SPAC listing applications under Hong Kong's new SPAC regime, which came into force on 1 January 2022. Since the rules came into effect, Ogier’s Corporate team in Hong Kong has worked closely with the relevant professional parties to respond timely to the regulator's requests for clients' proposed SPAC structures and additional disclosure items, and to ensure that clients’ constitutional documents comply with the latest regulatory requirements.
Ogier has assisted on the following Hong Kong listing applications this year:
Advising on Tiger Jade Acquisition Company, Trinity Acquisition Holdings Limited and Pisces Acquisition Corporation is a team led by senior legal manager Janice Chu with support from the firm's global head of Corporate Nathan Powell and paralegal Jenson Ng.
The team advising on A SPAC (HK) Acquisition Corp and Destone Acquisition Corp is led by counsel Rachel Huang with support from Nathan Powell and paralegal Vicky Wu.
The Cayman Islands, BVI and Hong Kong SPAC IPOs
The Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands (BVI) have been popular jurisdictions of choice for the launch of SPACs for various reasons, including the suitability and flexibility of their respective company laws to SPACs, in particular their straightforward statutory merger regimes, commonly used as a means of effecting a business combination, tax neutrality, limited additional regulatory compliance requirements (ie over and above those of the relevant exchange) and familiarity by sponsors, investors and exchanges.
With a significant proportion of Cayman Islands companies representing a majority of all the companies listed on the HKEX, it is expected that Cayman Islands exempted companies will continue to be the SPAC issuer vehicle of choice for Hong Kong SPAC IPOs.
Ogier's Hong Kong Corporate team has a leading equity capital markets practice with substantial experience on listings of BVI, Cayman Islands and Jersey companies on all major international stock exchanges, including but not limited to the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, HKEK, Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
The team advises issuers, underwriters, sponsors, lead managers and shareholders on secondary and depository issues, as well as private placements, take-privates, takeovers and spin-offs.
