SEC Sets Meeting Date to Discuss SPAC Regs

SEC

The SEC said it will hold an open meeting to discuss proposed SPAC rules on Jan. 24 at 10 a.m. The meeting will be webcast on the commission’s site: www.sec.gov.

The commission is expected to consider the adoption of new rules and amendments to enhance disclosures and provide additional investor protections in initial public offerings by SPACs and in subsequent business combination transactions between SPACs and target companies.
