Pandemic Continues to Rattle Office Market—AVISTA HK Office Market Insights (May 2022)

On 18 March 2022, Aquila Acquisition Corporation has been successfully listed on Hong Kong Stock Exchange as the first IPO of a SPAC under HKEX’s latest listing regime. AVISTA Group is honored to be engaged in offering valuation services to Aquila Acquisition Corporation on the first SPAC listing in Hong Kong. Some retail investors may view the SPACs’ financial statements are similar to those of traditionally listed companies, yet the SPACs’ financial instruments are much more complicated. The structure of each SPAC warrant may differ and it is hard to make an apples-to-apples comparison. Therefore it is challenging to perform valuation for SPAC warrants, which requires proper evaluation by professionals and valuation specialists.
