Analyst questions

Roth Capital Partners and SPACs, answered

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

Which SPACs has Roth Capital Partners underwritten?

Roth Capital Partners appears on the underwriting syndicate of 12 special purpose acquisition company IPOs in our index, including ACP Holdings Acquisition Corp. (ACGC), D. Boral Acquisition I Corp. (DBCA), Colombier Acquisition Corp. III (CLBR) and Haymaker Acquisition Corp. 4. The full list, with the role credited on each cover page, is in the mandates table on this page.

How many SPAC IPOs has Roth Capital Partners book-run?

Roth Capital Partners was credited as a book-running manager on 10 of its 12 SPAC mandates, 83% of them. The remainder are co-manager or syndicate positions, where the economics and the sponsor relationship sit elsewhere.

How much SPAC capital has Roth Capital Partners underwritten?

$2.5B of gross proceeds across every offering Roth Capital Partners 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: $253M, being the units the underwriting agreements assigned to Roth Capital Partners specifically, priced at the $10 standard SPAC unit.

What is the largest SPAC IPO Roth Capital Partners has worked on?

HENNESSY CAPITAL INVESTMENT CORP. V, which raised $345M in Jan 2021. Roth Capital Partners was credited as a book-running manager on that offering.

Which Roth Capital Partners SPACs completed a business combination?

6 of the SPACs Roth Capital Partners underwrote closed a combination: Haymaker Acquisition Corp. 4, QualTek Services Inc., Cepton, Inc., HENNESSY CAPITAL INVESTMENT CORP. V, GreenLight Biosciences Holdings, PBC and Reservoir Media, Inc.. Closing means the vehicle filed a current report reporting completion of the acquisition. That is an outcome, not a return.

Which Roth Capital Partners SPACs are still looking for a target?

3 vehicles Roth Capital Partners took public are still live, either searching or working towards an announced combination: ACP Holdings Acquisition Corp. (ACGC), D. Boral Acquisition I Corp. (DBCA) and Colombier Acquisition Corp. III (CLBR). Their combination deadlines are on each profile.

What is Roth Capital Partners's SPAC completion rate?

66.7%. Of the 9 vehicles Roth Capital Partners underwrote that have already resolved, 6 closed a business combination and 3 liquidated. The market-wide figure is 59.5%, so Roth Capital Partners 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 Roth Capital Partners SPAC performed best after its merger?

Measured against the $10.00 the units were sold at, the only baseline every SPAC shares, the strongest of Roth Capital Partners's closed deals currently is Reservoir Media, Inc. (RSVR) at $9 a share. 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.

Which sponsors does Roth Capital Partners work with most?

Battery Future (1 deal), Colombier (1 deal), D. Boral (1 deal), GreenLight Biosciences Holdings, PBC (1 deal) and Growth (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 Roth Capital Partners share SPAC syndicates with?

Most often Craig-Hallum (4), Cantor Fitzgerald (2), William Blair (1), D. Boral Capital (1) and Loop Capital Markets (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 Roth Capital Partners start underwriting SPACs, and is it still active?

Its first SPAC IPO in our index priced May 6, 2020 and the most recent Apr 7, 2026. 3 of its vehicles are still live, so the franchise is active.

What was Roth Capital Partners's busiest year in SPACs?

2021, with 6 mandates worth $1.2B 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 Roth Capital Partners typically underwrite?

The average offering it has been named on raised $205M, against a range from $29.1M to $345M. 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 Roth Capital Partners's SPACs target?

Generalist (5), Energy Transition (3), Technology (3), Consumer (2) 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.

Where do Roth Capital Partners's SPACs list?

Nasdaq (3) and NYSE (1). Listing venue is taken from the exchange record on the registrant's SEC profile.

How many of Roth Capital Partners'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 Roth Capital Partners 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 Roth Capital Partners itself.

Compiled by the SPACListing research desk

Last reconciled Oct 7, 2026

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.
