Fort Robotics and Newbury Street II Acquisition Corp. have confidentially filed a draft registration statement on Form S-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This filing is a significant step towards Fort's goal of becoming a publicly traded company, valuing it at approximately $556.6 million in enterprise value and $500 million in pre-money equity value.
The completion of this business combination will result in the formation of Fort Robotics Holdings, which is anticipated to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker FROB. The transaction is expected to close in late 2026 or early 2027, pending shareholder and regulatory approvals. The deal is projected to yield around $201 million in gross proceeds, which Fort plans to utilize for product development, expanding sales partnerships, and pursuing acquisitions.
Fort Robotics reported a 62% revenue growth in 2025, maintaining a 66% gross margin, with no single customer contributing more than 9% of revenue. The company, founded in 2018, specializes in safety infrastructure for robots and autonomous machines, with its technology deployed in over 19,500 units across more than 600 customers, including notable names like Agility Robotics and Google DeepMind. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
