SPACs in Renewable Energy and Green Infrastructure: Structuring Transactions, Issues for Sponsors and Investors

This CLE course will provide renewable energy counsel and advisers an in-depth analysis of key challenges for special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) in renewable energy and green infrastructure. The panel will discuss the formation, tax considerations for structuring transactions, and key challenges for sponsors and investors.

The increase in SPACs targeting the renewable energy sector is part of a larger trend towards ESG-driven investing. Energy counsel, investors, and sponsors must navigate complex legal, tax, and business challenges associated with SPACs to take advantage of the opportunities they present.

A SPAC is a shell company with no operations listed on a stock exchange to acquire a private company without going through the traditional IPO process. A carefully structured SPAC can facilitate the growth and development of clean energy, but counsel must take various constraints and special considerations into account.

Listen as our panel discusses issues for SPAC formation, tax considerations for structuring transactions, and key challenges for sponsors and investors.
