CFA Society Taiwan於2016年5月首次與HKUST Business School合作，邀請學校教授擔任主講嘉賓，讓會員於工作之餘仍能透過專題演講方式，深入頗析商業案例。隨著疫情消逝，今年再次爭取到合作機會，希望GOGORO專題能引起會員的興趣。
這次演講主題Innovations and Trends on Capital Raising: Case of GOGORO，透過GOGORO case study深入頗析資本市場的趨勢與創新。
Innovations and Trends on Capital Raising: Case of GOGORO
Firms in new industries such as those providing innovative green energy solutions might face challenges in raising public capital through traditional means like IPOs. They might have too few similar comparable firms, little international analyst following, and investor familiarity with the potential of solutions that they provide. In such cases, would de-SPACs that have been growing in popularity in recent years have some advantage over the IPOs?
On September 16, 2021, Poema Global Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: PPGH) announced it entered into a definitive merger agreement with Gogoro Inc., a Taiwan-based company, that developed the "swap & go" battery-swapping refueling platform that allowed refueling electrical vehicles (e.g. two-wheelers such as scooters and motorcycles) in seconds.
We will use a case study of Poema Global and explore the reasons behind the rise in SPACs by juxtaposing them against the traditional IPOs. By looking at the SPAC structures from the perspectives of different players in the deal (sponsors, target firms, outside investors), we will go through a simple valuation exercise and cover potential benefits and downsides involved in de-SPAC transactions. The lecture will follow an interactive format and the participants will be invited to share their opinions. Time permitting, we will also discuss other recent trends in public capital markets such as re-listings of stocks from the US exchanges to Asia.
