On January 24, 2024, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted new final rules relating to special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”). The new rules affect both initial public offerings (“IPOs”) for SPACs and so-called “de-SPAC” transactions involving target companies who enter into a business combination with SPACs. In summary, the new rules appear intended to harmonize the requirements (and potential liability for SPAC acquisition targets) of de-SPAC transactions.

These benefit programs are promises that the target has made to its employees, and the buyer must ascertain whether it is liable to fulfill them and, if so, the dollar value of those promises.
