Analyst questions
Legend Merchant and SPACs, answered
The questions a desk actually asks about a bank's blank-check franchise, answered from Legend Merchant's own mandates rather than from generic explainer copy.
Which SPACs has Legend Merchant underwritten?
Legend Merchant appears on the underwriting syndicate of 1 special purpose acquisition company IPO in our index, including Pantheon China 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 Legend Merchant book-run?
We have not indexed a book-running credit for Legend Merchant; 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 Legend Merchant underwritten?
— of gross proceeds across every offering Legend Merchant 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: $7.5M, being the units the underwriting agreements assigned to Legend Merchant specifically, priced at the $10 standard SPAC unit.
Which Legend Merchant SPACs completed a business combination?
None of the SPACs Legend Merchant underwrote has yet reported a completed business combination in the filings we index. 1 remain live and 0 returned their trust.
Which Legend Merchant SPACs are still looking for a target?
1 vehicles Legend Merchant took public are still live, either searching or working towards an announced combination: Pantheon China Acquisition Corp.. Their combination deadlines are on each profile.
What is Legend Merchant's SPAC completion rate?
None of Legend Merchant's SPAC mandates has resolved yet, so a completion rate would be meaningless. It is left blank rather than shown as zero.
Which Legend Merchant SPAC performed best after its merger?
We hold a current quote for none of Legend Merchant'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 Legend Merchant work with most?
Pantheon China (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 Legend Merchant share SPAC syndicates with?
Most often EarlyBirdCapital (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 Legend Merchant start underwriting SPACs, and is it still active?
Its first SPAC IPO in our index priced Dec 15, 2006 and the most recent Dec 15, 2006. 1 of its vehicles are still live, so the franchise is active.
Which sectors do Legend Merchant's SPACs target?
Generalist (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 Legend Merchant's SPACs liquidated?
None in our index. Either its vehicles closed a deal or they are still inside their combination window.
Where does this Legend Merchant 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 Legend Merchant itself.
