Analyst questions

ThinkEquity and SPACs, answered

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

Which SPACs has ThinkEquity underwritten?

ThinkEquity appears on the underwriting syndicate of 7 special purpose acquisition company IPOs in our index, including FG Imperii Acquisition Corp. (FGII), Origin Investment Corp I (ORIQ), BOXABL Inc. (BXBL) and iCoreConnect Inc.. The full list, with the role credited on each cover page, is in the mandates table on this page.

How many SPAC IPOs has ThinkEquity book-run?

ThinkEquity was credited as a book-running manager on 1 of its 7 SPAC mandates, 14% of them. The remainder are co-manager or syndicate positions, where the economics and the sponsor relationship sit elsewhere.

How much SPAC capital has ThinkEquity underwritten?

$597M of gross proceeds across every offering ThinkEquity 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: $580M, being the units the underwriting agreements assigned to ThinkEquity specifically, priced at the $10 standard SPAC unit.

What is the largest SPAC IPO ThinkEquity has worked on?

FG Imperii Acquisition Corp. (FGII), which raised $226M in Jan 2026. ThinkEquity was credited as a syndicate member on that offering.

Which ThinkEquity SPACs completed a business combination?

5 of the SPACs ThinkEquity underwrote closed a combination: BOXABL Inc., iCoreConnect Inc., TG Venture Acquisition Corp., Hagerty, Inc. and ALLIANCE ENTERTAINMENT HOLDING CORP. Closing means the vehicle filed a current report reporting completion of the acquisition. That is an outcome, not a return.

Which ThinkEquity SPACs are still looking for a target?

2 vehicles ThinkEquity took public are still live, either searching or working towards an announced combination: FG Imperii Acquisition Corp. (FGII) and Origin Investment Corp I (ORIQ). Their combination deadlines are on each profile.

What is ThinkEquity's SPAC completion rate?

100%. Of the 5 vehicles ThinkEquity underwrote that have already resolved, 5 closed a business combination and 0 liquidated. The market-wide figure is 59.5%, so ThinkEquity 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 ThinkEquity 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 ThinkEquity's closed deals currently is Hagerty, Inc. (HGTY) at $15 a share, ahead of ALLIANCE ENTERTAINMENT HOLDING CORP and BOXABL Inc.. 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 ThinkEquity work with most?

FG Merger Investors (2 deals), Adara (1 deal), Aldel Investors (1 deal), FG Imperii Investors (1 deal) and Origin Equity (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 ThinkEquity share SPAC syndicates with?

Most often R. F. Lafferty & (2), Ingalls & Snyder (2), Bancroft Capital (2), EarlyBirdCapital (1) and ViewTrade (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 ThinkEquity start underwriting SPACs, and is it still active?

Its first SPAC IPO in our index priced Feb 9, 2021 and the most recent Jan 20, 2026. 2 of its vehicles are still live, so the franchise is active.

What was ThinkEquity's busiest year in SPACs?

2021, with 3 mandates worth $138M 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 ThinkEquity typically underwrite?

The average offering it has been named on raised $85.3M, against a range from $5.6M to $226M. 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 ThinkEquity's SPACs target?

Financial Services (3), Generalist (2), Technology (1), Aerospace & Defense (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.

Where do ThinkEquity's SPACs list?

Nasdaq (4) and NYSE (1). Listing venue is taken from the exchange record on the registrant's SEC profile.

How many of ThinkEquity's SPACs liquidated?

None in our index. Either its vehicles closed a deal or they are still inside their combination window.

Where does this ThinkEquity 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 ThinkEquity itself.

Compiled by the SPACListing research desk

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.
