Business: |
(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands)
We expect to focus on a target in an industry where we believe our management team’s and our affiliates’ expertise will provide us with a competitive advantage, including the financial services, healthcare, real estate services, technology and software industries.
Our officers consist of:
• Brandon Lutnick, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who joined Cantor in April 2022 and has served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cantor since February 2025; and
• Jane Novak, our Chief Financial Officer, who joined Cantor in October 2017 and, since then, has served as the Global Head of Accounting Policy.
We, our sponsor, and CF&Co. are all affiliates of Cantor. Cantor is a diversified company primarily specializing in financial and real estate services for customers operating in the global financial and commercial real estate markets. Cantor’s businesses include CF&Co., a leading independent middle market investment bank and primary dealer; a controlling interest in BGC Group, Inc., or BGC, whose Class A common stock trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “BGC”, a leading global brokerage and technology company primarily servicing the global financial markets; and a controlling interest in Newmark Group, Inc., or Newmark, whose Class A common stock trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “NMRK”, a leading full-service commercial real estate services business. We believe that the combination of our management team’s and our affiliates’ financial services, financial and real estate technology, and real estate industry expertise and proven ability to grow businesses through acquisitions make us uniquely qualified to pursue acquisitions.
Cantor, founded over 75 years ago, was led by Howard W. Lutnick from 1992 until February 2025 when he became the United States Secretary of Commerce. Cantor has successfully built a well-capitalized business across multiple business lines. Cantor has been at the forefront of financial and technological innovation in its industries, developing electronic markets and providing superior service to thousands of customers globally.
Note: Brandon Lutnick, the chairman and CEO of both Cantor and Cantor Equity Partners II, is one of Howard Lutnick’s two sons.
(Note: Cantor Equity Partners II filed its S-1 on March 10, 2025, and disclosed the terms for its stock-only SPAC IPO: 20.0 million shares at $10.00 each to raise $200.0 million.)
