In der COVID-19-Pandemie verhilft DFIN SPACs zum Erfolg

The formation of a SPAC, by its very nature, requires equal measures of speed, accuracy, and minimal costs to properly launch and position the company for ultimate success. Missteps impacting any one of the deal-making triad can lead to irreversible repercussions and to lost opportunities – and that’s during smooth economic conditions.

“DFIN went above and beyond our expectations. They were the right price, the right platform, and the right people to get this monumental task done. Plus, they have all of the post-acquisition tools required for all SEC ﬁlings and annual reporting.”

Justin Mirro, CEO, Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp.

For Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. (KCAC), the magnitude of complexity associated with the SPAC formation was exponentially compounded due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Office lock downs caused by the crisis forced KCAC’s team of executives, advisors, and legal counselors to work in isolation from remote home offices. In order to keep their SPAC vision moving forward when the rest of the world was at a standstill, the KCAC turned to Donnelley Financial Solutions (DFIN).

“Our tools and talent are equipped to keep all of a SPAC’s moving parts advancing quickly and easily – even during a global pandemic. We let Kensington know they could do the work on our platform or they could turn the project over to our team. Either way, the SPAC would be ﬁled fast and accurately.”

Craig Clay, President Of Global Capital Markets, DFIN

DFIN’s streamlined, cost-conscious process saved Kensington critical time and money resulting in the successful formation of the new KCAC.U SPAC offering, which at publication, is valued at $230m, making Kensington well-positioned for strong deal-making when opportunity strikes.
With its successful SPAC launch, Kensington is seeking targets in the automotive sector ranging from mergers, stock purchases, and business combinations.

“We were able to jump in with none of the usual lag time associated with learning software and network systems allowing us to complete our IPO weeks ahead of schedule. DFIN’s platform is just like using Word and Excel.”
