Sizzle Acquisition II Announces Trasteel Business Combination Agreement

Sizzle Acquisition Corporation II Class A ( (SZZL) ) has shared an announcement.

On April 13, 2026, Sizzle Acquisition Corp. II and Trasteel Holding S.A. announced a definitive business combination agreement to create a new Nasdaq-listed holding company, Pubco, that will own both businesses, valuing Trasteel at $800 million on a pre-money equity basis and implying a pro forma enterprise value of about $1.3 billion, assuming no redemptions. At closing, expected by the end of 2026 subject to shareholder approvals and customary conditions, Trasteel’s existing shareholders will roll 100% of their equity into Pubco, while Sizzle II’s securities will convert into Pubco shares, leaving both Trasteel and Sizzle II as wholly owned subsidiaries.

The deal is expected to give Trasteel access to public capital markets to fund strategic acquisitions, investments and working capital, which its leadership argues will support expansion amid rising global demand for steel and other metals. Sizzle II’s management highlights Trasteel’s hedged business model, revenue growth and resilience to geopolitical and macroeconomic headwinds, a positioning that could bolster investor interest in a capital-intensive sector while providing SPAC shareholders exposure to a scaled, diversified steel and metals platform.
