doing a traditional IPO I don't know that much about the actual costs of taking a private company public thru a regular underwriting vs merging with an existing SPAC .. Looking at the recent DKNG and VTIQ/NKLA deals I think that the SPAC shareholders ended up in the ~7% ownership range of the newly combined entities .. The ~7% equity "cost" of going public in this manner must be attractive vs the traditional IPO or none of the PE stable companies would use SPACs .. or am I missing something here ?? Triff ..
