In this episode of The SPAC Podcast, host Mike Blankenship is joined by Derek from Centri to walk through what really happens behind the scenes of a SPAC transaction. From the importance of early-stage capital markets readiness to preparing pro forma financials and navigating the SEC comment process, this conversation covers the critical technical and strategic steps in a successful de-SPAC.
Derek shares why early involvement is essential—helping both SPAC sponsors and target companies align their reporting, systems, and disclosures before things become a fire drill. The episode also breaks down the impact of the SEC’s 2024 final rules, how they were effectively implemented even before formal adoption, and what companies need to know going forward. If you’re a sponsor, advisor, or operator preparing to go public through a SPAC, this episode is a must-listen.
