ARC Group co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Abraham Cinta shared how ARC Group has helped companies in Asia venture to overseas capital markets, particularly in the United States.<\/p>\n

He added that Malaysia also played a key role in making the company a leading champion of SPACs (Special Purpose Acquisition Companies. Malaysia is also the second largest market for ARC Group, accounting for 30% of its business.<\/p>\n

<\/span>SPAC’s growing appeal vs IPOs<\/span><\/h2>\n

ARC Group\u2019s Venture Partner, Datuk Seri Paul Chong highlighted why it is so attractive to companies seeking listing compared with initial public offerings (IPOs). Among the key reasons for the growing interest in SPAC within the region are its lower costs and faster transition times. He added that one of the key attractions of the US capital markets is its looser listing rules.<\/p>\n

Giving Grab as an example, he revealed that Grab was initially turned down for listing in the ACE markets of Bursa Malaysia as it had not turned a profit. As a result, it eventually went for a SPAC on NASDAQ with a valuation of US$40 billion \u2013 the largest in history.<\/p>\n
