Join BDO's Center for Corporate Governance Amy Rojik as she sits down with Demetrios Frangiskatos, Assurance Northeast Regional Managing Partner, to discuss the frenzy of SPAC and resulting De-SPAC transactions and in particular, considerations that board members should be thinking about if thinking of or selected to be affiliated with the acquirors or acquirees.

Speed of an operating company becoming a public filer accelerates the need for public company experience in both the management team and the board

Critical to have a solid understanding of current deal terms, regardless of what side of the transaction you may be
