Analyst questions

Arcadia and SPACs, answered

The questions a desk actually asks about a bank's blank-check franchise, answered from Arcadia's own mandates rather than from generic explainer copy.

Which SPACs has Arcadia underwritten?

Arcadia appears on the underwriting syndicate of 1 special purpose acquisition company IPO in our index, including Union Acquisition Corp. II. The full list, with the role credited on each cover page, is in the mandates table on this page.

How many SPAC IPOs has Arcadia book-run?

We have not indexed a book-running credit for Arcadia; every mandate on record is a co-manager or syndicate position. Bookrunner status is read from the prospectus cover, so a blank can also mean the cover did not separate the roles.

How much SPAC capital has Arcadia underwritten?

$137.2M of gross proceeds across every offering Arcadia was named on. That is the conventional league-table measure, which credits the full deal to each syndicate member. The narrower figure is its own allocation: $4.4M, being the units the underwriting agreements assigned to Arcadia specifically, priced at the $10 standard SPAC unit.

What is the largest SPAC IPO Arcadia has worked on?

Union Acquisition Corp. II, which raised $137.2M in Oct 2019. Arcadia was credited as a syndicate member on that offering.

Which Arcadia SPACs completed a business combination?

1 of the SPACs Arcadia underwrote closed a combination: Union Acquisition Corp. II. Closing means the vehicle filed a current report reporting completion of the acquisition. That is an outcome, not a return.

Which Arcadia SPACs are still looking for a target?

Arcadia has no live SPAC mandates in our index; every vehicle it underwrote has either closed a deal or wound up.

What is Arcadia's SPAC completion rate?

100%. Of the 1 vehicles Arcadia underwrote that have already resolved, 1 closed a business combination and 0 liquidated. The market-wide figure is 13.2%, so Arcadia sits above it. SPACs still searching are excluded, because an unfinished clock is not a result. The rate measures the vehicles, not the bank: a syndicate has no control over whether a sponsor finds a target.

Which Arcadia SPAC performed best after its merger?

We hold a current quote for none of Arcadia's closed deals, so no comparison is possible here. Post-merger price history is not part of our dataset, and we would rather say so than imply a ranking the data does not support. What this page does show is the outcome of every vehicle and the trust economics disclosed at the time.

Which sponsors does Arcadia work with most?

Union (1 deal). Sponsor franchises are resolved from the sponsor entity named in each prospectus, so repeat issuers group together even though every vehicle is a separate legal entity.

Which banks does Arcadia share SPAC syndicates with?

Most often Cantor Fitzgerald (1) and Exos (1). Syndicate composition is read from the prospectus cover and the underwriting section, so these are co-appearances on the same offering, not a commercial relationship we have any other visibility into.

When did Arcadia start underwriting SPACs, and is it still active?

Its first SPAC IPO in our index priced Oct 18, 2019 and the most recent Oct 18, 2019. It has no live vehicles at present.

What size of SPAC does Arcadia typically underwrite?

The average offering it has been named on raised $137.2M, against a range from $137.2M to $137.2M. Deal size is a reasonable proxy for where a house sits in the market: the bulge bracket concentrates on larger trusts, the SPAC specialists on smaller ones.

Which sectors do Arcadia's SPACs target?

Technology (1), Financial Services (1), Energy (1) and Industrials (1). Mandates are read from charter language in the prospectus and are often deliberately broad. Many SPACs reserve the right to pursue any industry, in which case no sector is tagged at all.

How many of Arcadia's SPACs liquidated?

None in our index. Either its vehicles closed a deal or they are still inside their combination window.

Where does this Arcadia data come from?

Every figure is read from filings the registrants made with the SEC. Syndicate membership and role come from the prospectus cover and the underwriting section of each IPO prospectus (Form 424B4); outcomes come from the filing record: a current report announcing completion, or a delisting notice ending a liquidation. Nothing here is sourced from press coverage or from Arcadia itself.

Compiled by the SPACListing research desk

Last reconciled Feb 11, 2022

Every figure on this page is read from documents the registrants filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, principally IPO prospectuses (Form 424B4), current reports (Form 8-K), delisting notices (Form 25-NSE). Nothing is sourced from press coverage, from the companies themselves, or from a third-party aggregator. Where a filing does not disclose something, the field is left blank rather than estimated.
