We are advising Securitize on its de-SPAC transaction

Davis Polk is advising Securitize, Inc. on its business combination with Cantor Equity Partners II, Inc. through which Securitize will become a publicly listed company. The transaction values Securitize at a $1.25 billion pre-money equity value, and is expected to deliver at least $225 million in new proceeds at closing pursuant to a fully committed and upsized all-equity PIPE. The combined company will be renamed Securitize Corp., and its common stock is expected to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “SECZ.” The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

Securitize is tokenizing the world, with over $4 billion in assets under management as of October 2025, through tokenized funds and equities in partnership with top-tier asset managers, such as Apollo, BlackRock, Hamilton Lane, KKR, VanEck and others. Securitize, through its subsidiaries, is an SEC-registered broker-dealer, digital transfer agent, fund administrator and operator of an SEC-regulated alternative trading system.

Cantor Equity Partners II, Inc. is a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) led by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Brandon Lutnick and sponsored by an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald, a leading global financial services and real estate services holding company.

The Davis Polk corporate team includes partners Lee Hochbaum, Derek Dostal, Joseph A. Hall and Daniel P. Gibbons, counsel Arisa Akashi Sin and associates F. Adam Abulawi and Edwin P. Paillant.
