What is a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC)?
A Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) or in the case of the Botswana Stock Exchange, a Special Acquisition Company (SAC), is a company with no existing commercial operations, but is formed strictly to raise capital on the stock exchange for the sole purpose of acquiring assets. In short, a SPAC is a publicly traded shell company with no operations of its own, with a specific mandate to acquire other companies or even merge with them.
