Impact of eight SPACS controlled by SBG's subsidiaries on FY20 SBG consolidated F/S
• The proceeds can only be used for a merger with a target company and
redemptions of the interests attributable to public market investors.
• The proceeds received are held in a trust account until completion of
merger with a target company and are invested only in certain financial
assets that are highly liquid.
• The SPACs will cease all operations and redeem all interests attributable
to public market investors in it, if it is unable to complete a merger within
24 months from the date of IPO (operating expenses of the SPAC are
borne by the sponsor).
● Public market investors retain an option to redeem part or all of the
proceeds contributed from them upon completion of the initial merger.
→ Because the relevant SPACs will be obligated to redeem them for cash
under such conditions, non-controlling interests subject to possible
redemption are classified as "liabilities", not as "equity" under IFRSS.
