Securitize, Cantor Equity Partners II Due to Raise $400m

06.26.2026
Deutsche Borse-LSE Merger in Focus
Retained 71.5% of CEPT Trust;
Business Combination Expected to Raise Approximately $400 million in Gross Proceeds;
Expected Closing July 1, 2026, subject to CEPT shareholder approval;
Combined Company Expected to Begin Trading on NYSE Under Ticker “SECZ” on July 2, 2026
Securitize, Inc., and Cantor Equity Partners II, Inc., a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company sponsored by an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald, announced that, based on the final redemption results, holders of less than 30% of CEPT Class A ordinary shares elected to redeem.
Given these results, Securitize expects to receive approximately $400 million in gross proceeds from the proposed business combination between the parties (the “Business Combination”), including related PIPE financings and excluding all transaction-related expenses. Additionally, subject to the CEPT shareholder approval at the Special Meeting of CEPT shareholders on June 29, 2026, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, the proposed business combination and related PIPE financings are expected to be consummated on July 1, 2026.
Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the combined company will operate as Securitize Corp., and its common stock is expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on July 2, 2026, under the ticker symbol “SECZ.”
“Reaching the public markets is a significant milestone for Securitize and a reflection of the growing momentum behind tokenization,” said Carlos Domingo, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Securitize. “When we started more than eight years ago, the idea that major institutions would embrace tokenized securities was still largely theoretical. Today, tokenization is moving into the mainstream, and we believe becoming a public company gives us the visibility, credibility, and capital to lead that next phase of growth.”
Advisors
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citi”) is acting as financial and capital markets advisor to Securitize. Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) is acting as financial and capital markets advisor to CEPT. Citi and Cantor. are acting as co-placement agents for the PIPE.
Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP is serving as legal advisor to Securitize. Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP is serving as legal advisor to CEPT. Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP is serving as legal advisor to Citi and Cantor in connection with their roles as co-placement agents.
Background Information on Securitize’s Business Combination
On October 28, 2025, Securitize, Inc. (“Securitize”) and Cantor Equity Partners II, Inc. (Nasdaq: CEPT) (“CEPT”), a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald, announced that they entered into a definitive business combination agreement for a proposed business combination (the “Proposed Business Combination”). Upon closing of the Proposed Business Combination, the combined company, Securitize Corp., is expected to become publicly listed on NYSE under the ticker symbol “SECZ”.
The special meeting of CEPT Shareholders to approve the Business Combination has been scheduled for June 29, 2026, and, if approved, the Business Combination is expected to close shortly thereafter, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Additional information about the Proposed Business Combination, including a copy of the business combination agreement, is available in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by CEPT, and in the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by Securitize and Securitize Holdings, Inc.
