The move by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is part of a broader crackdown on special purpose acquisition companies after a frenzy of deals in 2020 and early 2021 sparked concerns that some investors are getting a raw deal.
The rule would require SPACs to disclose more details about their sponsors, their compensation, conflicts of interest and share dilution. The SEC has stepped up oversight of SPACs amid worries of inadequate disclosures and lofty revenue projections. Reuters reported last year that the SEC was considering new guidance to rein in SPACs' growth projections.
If SPACs do not meet certain conditions they may have to register as investment companies, subjecting them to a slew of other rules, the SEC said.

SEC to crack down on blank check companies that overpromise gains to investorsThe SEC proposed a crackdown on blank-check companies known as SPACs. SPACs have no business operations — their only purpose is to acquire a private firm to then list on a stock exchange, allowing that firm to bypass a costlier initial public offering. For a moment I thought they were talking about SEC football. SPAC’s reduce cost of IPO and can reduce investment bank control of pricing. The big banks are feeling the loss of control and revenues. They don’t like competition from independent investment groups. All capitalist departments I have been to didn’t pity me. Only kings were not afraid of sacrifice to pity me and mankind! But Communists don’t take risks for a person like me! Communist theory’s law is less merciful than kings. Marx didn’t have time to elaborate that.
