Ingalls & Snyder

Ingalls & Snyder appears on the underwriting syndicate of 14 special purpose acquisition company IPOs in our index, including Prime Number Acquisition I Corp., Inception Growth Acquisition Ltd, Finnovate Acquisition Corp. and Gesher I Acquisition Corp.. The full list, with the role credited on each cover page, is in the mandates table on this page.

We have not indexed a book-running credit for Ingalls & Snyder; 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.

$1.7B of gross proceeds across every offering Ingalls & Snyder 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: $130M, being the units the underwriting agreements assigned to Ingalls & Snyder specifically, priced at the $10 standard SPAC unit.

Goal Acquisitions Corp., which raised $254M in Feb 2021. Ingalls & Snyder was credited as a syndicate member on that offering.

11 of the SPACs Ingalls & Snyder underwrote closed a combination: Prime Number Acquisition I Corp., Finnovate Acquisition Corp., Gesher I Acquisition Corp., Maxpro Capital Acquisition Corp., Global SPAC Partners Co, and Hagerty, Inc.. Closing means the vehicle filed a current report reporting completion of the acquisition. That is an outcome, not a return.

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

84.6%. Of the 13 vehicles Ingalls & Snyder underwrote that have already resolved, 11 closed a business combination and 2 liquidated. The market-wide figure is 59.5%, so Ingalls & Snyder 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.

Measured against the $10.00 the units were sold at, the only baseline every SPAC shares, the strongest of Ingalls & Snyder's closed deals currently is Hagerty, Inc. (HGTY) at $16 a share, ahead of Cipher Digital Inc. and ALLIANCE ENTERTAINMENT HOLDING CORP. Treat that as a snapshot, not a return: it ignores dividends, splits, warrant exercise and anything that happened in between, because historical price series are not part of our data. For a proper total-return comparison use your market-data provider with the post-merger tickers.

Aldel Investors (1 deal), Breeze (1 deal), Finnovate (1 deal), Gesher (1 deal) and Global (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.

Most often I-Bankers Securities (7), EarlyBirdCapital (7), Dawson James (3), Ladenburg Thalmann (3) and B. Riley Securities (3). 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.

Its first SPAC IPO in our index priced Aug 10, 2020 and the most recent May 16, 2022. It has no live vehicles at present.

2021, with 10 mandates worth $1.3B 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.

The average offering it has been named on raised $122M, against a range from $5.6M to $254M. 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.

Generalist (5), Technology (3), Consumer (2), Healthcare (2) and Media & Entertainment (2). 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.

Nasdaq (2) and NYSE (1). Listing venue is taken from the exchange record on the registrant's SEC profile.

2. 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.

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.
