Through SPAC, the share price definitely lower and more affordable.

A SPAC listing bypasses Wall Street's traditional IPO process.As part of the mega-deal, SoftBank-backed Grab will receive about $4.5 billion in cash, which includes $4 billion in a private investment in public equity (PIPE), managed byBlackRock, Fidelity,T. Rowe Price, Morgan Stanley’s Counterpoint Global fund and Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund Temasek. PIPEs are mechanisms for companies to raise capital from a select group of investors that make the final market debut possible through their financing.Grab — most recentlyranked No. 16on last year’sCNBC Disruptor 50list — delivers an array of digital services such as transportation, food delivery, hotel bookings, online banking, mobile payments and insurance services from its app. The Singapore-based company has operations throughout most of Southeast Asia, and serves more than 187 million users in over 350 cities across eight countries.While SPACs have become a hot investment vehicle on Wall Street, they’re alsogaining traction in Asiawith six regional-focused SPAC companies that have collectively raised $2.7 billion thus far in 2021.But in the first quarter this year, capital raised by blank-check firms like Altimeter has already outpaced 2020′s total issuance.It’s not onlydrawn the attentionof the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, but also investors who are fearful of a market bubble.Still, new deals continue to flood the market — more than 100 in March alone, according to SPAC Research.While Grab’s merger remains record-setting, Boston-based biotech company Ginkgo Bioworks,ranked No. 44on last year’sCNBC Disruptor 50list, is said to be considering an equally-massive $20 billion blank-check merger of its own,according to Bloomberg.Throughout the pandemic, Southeast Asiasaw a surgein the use of digital services like e-commerce, food delivery and online payment. As many as 40 million people in six countries across the region — Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand — came online for the first time in 2020, according to a report from Google, Temasek Holdings and Bain & Company.Still, Covid-19 has forced regional private market decacorns (start-ups valued at more than $10 billion)to cut staff and rethinkwhat will define a dominant “super app” suite of on-demand services. It’s also intensified the competitive landscape in an already saturated market that’s proven difficult to turn a profit.After a period of intense and expensive competition byUberto dominate rideshare in many markets, Indonesian rival Gojek sold its Southeast Asia business to Grab three years ago in return for Uber receiving a stake in the company.In January, Reutersreportedthat Grab’s net revenue had grown 70% year over year, recovering to pre-pandemic levels with its ride-hailing business breaking even in all operating markets, including its largest, Indonesia.Grab and Gojek were reportedly close to finalizing a merger of their own late last year.Reuters reportedthat Gojek — which isranked No. 10on last year’sCNBC Disruptor 50list — is now in advanced talks with Indonesian e-commerce leader Tokopedia for an $18 billion merger, ahead of a potential dual listing in Jakarta and the U.S.Grab Investor
