2019 SPAC IPOs
59 SPACs raised $2.8B in trust across 2019 IPOs.
The 2019 SPAC vintage stands as a prelude to the blank-check boom that would follow, with 59 vehicles completing initial public offerings across a range of sectors including technology, healthcare, and financial services. Of that cohort, 55 deals have been announced or completed, representing a deal-completion rate that reflects the more disciplined deal environment of that era. Three SPACs from the class have returned capital to shareholders through liquidation, while one vehicle remains in active search. The 2019 class predates the surge in sponsor activity that defined 2020 and 2021, offering a useful baseline for understanding how SPAC deal timelines and outcomes evolved over the following years.
