Key Terms

business combination agreement regulatory

A business combination agreement is a detailed contract that lays out the terms for two companies to join together—covering price, how ownership will be split, the steps needed to close the deal, and what each side promises to do or avoid before closing. For investors it matters because the agreement determines potential changes in value, control, timing, and risk exposure—think of it like the playbook for a merger that shows who wins, who pays, and what could still derail the plan.

spac financial

A special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) is a company formed specifically to raise money through an initial public offering (IPO) with the goal of buying or merging with an existing private company. For investors, a SPAC offers a way to invest in a potential future business without initially knowing which company it will acquire, making it a way to access new investment opportunities that might otherwise be difficult to invest in directly.

unit economics financial

Unit economics analyzes the profitability of a single product or service by comparing the revenue it generates to the costs involved in producing and delivering it. It helps determine whether each sale contributes to overall profit, much like assessing if selling one item covers its production costs and leaves money left over. Investors use this to judge if a business model is sustainable and capable of growth.
