What Transfer Agents Must Get Right in SPAC Deals

In this episode of The SPAC Podcast, Seth Farbman shares a cautionary tale that underscores the importance of responsive and modern transfer agents in the SPAC ecosystem. Drawing from personal experience, Seth recounts a scenario where outdated communication practices—from requiring physical mail to issuing inaccurate shareholder statements—resulted in costly delays. The lesson? Technology, speed, and accuracy aren’t just conveniences—they’re essential to protecting shareholder confidence.

Effective communication with shareholders during a SPAC’s lifecycle can significantly impact trust and transparency. Whether you’re on the sponsor side or managing investor relations, this episode is a reminder that operational inefficiencies from a transfer agent can create friction and even financial losses.
