FaZe Clan set to become public company as merger approved

FaZe Clan has announced that they are set to go public on the NASDAQ exchange, after their SPAC merger was “declared effective” by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

With a combined social media reach of almost 400 million fans, FaZe Clan is one of the biggest networks of personalities, content creators, and esports players in the entire world.

In October 2021, FaZe announced the merger agreement with SPAC ‘B. Riley Principal 150 Merger Corp.’ that set them up for the ability to go public on the NASDAQ exchange that will allow fans, or anyone, to invest in the organization.

They have now confirmed that the proposed merger was approved by the Security and Exchange Commission, which brings FaZe closer to being a publicly-traded company.

FaZe will be among the first content-creation organizations to become a publicly-traded company, and fans will be able to find it rather easily as their ticker on the exchange is set to be simply: FAZE.

The next step is for shareholders of BRPM to attend a Special Meeting on July 15, where they will be “asked to consider and vote upon proposals to approve the Business Combination and related matters.”
