Analyst questions
Code Advisors and SPACs, answered
The questions a desk actually asks about a bank's blank-check franchise, answered from Code Advisors's own mandates rather than from generic explainer copy.
Which SPACs has Code Advisors underwritten?
Code Advisors appears on the underwriting syndicate of 3 special purpose acquisition company IPOs in our index, including TPB Acquisition Corp I, Lerer Hippeau Acquisition Corp. and Group Nine Acquisition Corp.. The full list, with the role credited on each cover page, is in the mandates table on this page.
How many SPAC IPOs has Code Advisors book-run?
We have not indexed a book-running credit for Code Advisors; 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 Code Advisors underwritten?
$634.4M of gross proceeds across every offering Code Advisors 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: $188.0M, being the units the underwriting agreements assigned to Code Advisors specifically, priced at the $10 standard SPAC unit.
What is the largest SPAC IPO Code Advisors has worked on?
Group Nine Acquisition Corp., which raised $231.3M in Jan 2021. Code Advisors was credited as a syndicate member on that offering.
Which Code Advisors SPACs completed a business combination?
None of the SPACs Code Advisors underwrote has yet reported a completed business combination in the filings we index. 0 remain live and 3 returned their trust.
Which Code Advisors SPACs are still looking for a target?
Code Advisors has no live SPAC mandates in our index; every vehicle it underwrote has either closed a deal or wound up.
What is Code Advisors's SPAC completion rate?
0%. Of the 3 vehicles Code Advisors underwrote that have already resolved, 0 closed a business combination and 3 liquidated. The market-wide figure is 13.2%, so Code Advisors sits below 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 Code Advisors SPAC performed best after its merger?
We hold a current quote for none of Code Advisors'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 Code Advisors work with most?
Group Nine (1 deal), Lerer Hippeau (1 deal) and TPB (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 Code Advisors share SPAC syndicates with?
Most often Barclays (3) and Drexel Hamilton (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 Code Advisors start underwriting SPACs, and is it still active?
Its first SPAC IPO in our index priced Jan 19, 2021 and the most recent Aug 12, 2021. It has no live vehicles at present.
What size of SPAC does Code Advisors typically underwrite?
The average offering it has been named on raised $211.5M, against a range from $180.4M to $231.3M. 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 Code Advisors's SPACs target?
Technology (2), Healthcare (1), Energy Transition (1), Agriculture & Food (1) and Consumer (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 Code Advisors's SPACs liquidated?
3. A liquidation means the vehicle reached its combination deadline without closing a deal and returned the trust to public shareholders. That is the mechanism working as designed, not a default. Holders who did not redeem got their pro-rata share of the trust back.
Where does this Code Advisors 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 Code Advisors itself.

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.
