Analyst questions
IB Capital and SPACs, answered
The questions a desk actually asks about a bank's blank-check franchise, answered from IB Capital's own mandates rather than from generic explainer copy.
Which SPACs has IB Capital underwritten?
IB Capital appears on the underwriting syndicate of 6 special purpose acquisition company IPOs in our index, including Breeze Acquisition Corp. II (BREZ), ARC Group Acquisition I Corp. (ARCL), Emmis Acquisition Corp. (EMIS) and Pelican 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 IB Capital book-run?
We have not indexed a book-running credit for IB Capital; 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 IB Capital underwritten?
$509.2M of gross proceeds across every offering IB Capital 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: $204.5M, being the units the underwriting agreements assigned to IB Capital specifically, priced at the $10 standard SPAC unit.
What is the largest SPAC IPO IB Capital has worked on?
ARC Group Acquisition I Corp. (ARCL), which raised $120.8M in Apr 2026. IB Capital was credited as a syndicate member on that offering.
Which IB Capital SPACs completed a business combination?
1 of the SPACs IB Capital underwrote closed a combination: Distoken Acquisition Corp. Closing means the vehicle filed a current report reporting completion of the acquisition. That is an outcome, not a return.
Which IB Capital SPACs are still looking for a target?
1 vehicles IB Capital took public are still live, either searching or working towards an announced combination: ARC Group Acquisition I Corp. (ARCL). Their combination deadlines are on each profile.
What is IB Capital's SPAC completion rate?
20%. Of the 5 vehicles IB Capital underwrote that have already resolved, 1 closed a business combination and 4 liquidated. The market-wide figure is 13.2%, so IB Capital 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 IB Capital SPAC performed best after its merger?
We hold a current quote for none of IB Capital'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 IB Capital work with most?
Breeze (1 deal), Emmis (1 deal), ESH (1 deal), MFH (1 deal) and Pelican (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 IB Capital share SPAC syndicates with?
Most often I-Bankers Securities (4), Lucid (2), EarlyBirdCapital (1), Dawson James (1) and ARC (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 IB Capital start underwriting SPACs, and is it still active?
Its first SPAC IPO in our index priced Feb 15, 2023 and the most recent May 13, 2026. 1 of its vehicles are still live, so the franchise is active.
What was IB Capital's busiest year in SPACs?
2023, with 2 mandates worth $184.0M of gross proceeds. The chart on this page shows the full year-by-year run, which for most houses traces the 2020-21 boom and the retreat that followed.
What size of SPAC does IB Capital typically underwrite?
The average offering it has been named on raised $101.8M, against a range from $69.0M to $120.8M. 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 IB Capital's SPACs target?
Technology (3), Generalist (2), Healthcare (1), Industrials (1) and Media & Entertainment (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.
Where do IB Capital's SPACs list?
Nasdaq (4). Listing venue is taken from the exchange record on the registrant's SEC profile.
How many of IB Capital's SPACs liquidated?
4. 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 IB Capital 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 IB Capital 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.
