EquiLend Acquires Trading Apps to Advance Front-Office Automation
NEW YORK, /CNW/ -- EquiLend has expanded its capabilities as a global leader in securities finance with the acquisition of Trading Apps, a front-office technology provider known for its automation tools and modular trading solutions used by many of the world's leading securities finance desks.
The acquisition aligns with EquiLend's broader strategy to streamline the entire securities finance ecosystem – from front-office through post-trade – by embedding automation and flexibility at every stage. By integrating Trading Apps' solutions, EquiLend expands its capabilities and offers clients tools that can be used independently or integrated with existing services.
Trading Apps offers a suite of innovative tools that enhance trading efficiency and automation across the securities finance ecosystem. Among its flagship offerings, the Lender and Borrower Apps are designed to automate front-office workflows, maximize execution speed, and accelerate trade flows. These tools help with identifying short positions, negotiating rates, and optimizing returns, while reducing manual workload, increasing trade volume capacity, and providing traders more control over lending and borrowing decisions.
TA.Link, Trading Apps' trade messaging service, is also part of the acquisition and will serve as the resiliency solution for EquiLend's NGT platform. The service will continue to operate independently, with no shared infrastructure or dependencies - a deliberate design choice to ensure redundancy and operational stability.
"This acquisition enhances our ability to deliver even greater value to our clients by accelerating automation across the EquiLend platform," said Rich Grossi, CEO of EquiLend. "The Trading Apps team has built high-quality tools that help firms move faster and operate more efficiently. Integrating these capabilities into the EquiLend platform will provide our clients with a broader set of solutions to fit their securities finance needs. We are excited to work with Matthew Harrison and the Trading Apps team to build on their strong foundation and drive the next wave of securities finance innovation together."
"This marks an exciting evolution for our team," said Matthew Harrison, CEO of Trading Apps. "By becoming part of EquiLend, we're bringing together complementary strengths and setting the stage for what the next generation of securities finance technology will look like."
"The acquisition of Trading Apps significantly advances our strategy to deliver a unified, front-to-back platform for the securities finance industry," said Nick Delikaris, Chief Product Officer at EquiLend. "By combining EquiLend's scale with Trading Apps' strengths in workflow automation, we're providing our clients a more intelligent, connected, and agile infrastructure solution."

The participation by the Lender constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (" MI 61-101"). The Company relied on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities purchased by the insider, nor the consideration for the securities paid by such insider, exceeded 25% of Palisades' market capitalization. The Company expects that the closing of the Loan will occur within 21 days of this announcement and that it will not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before closing. The Company deems this circumstance reasonable in order to complete the Loan in an expeditious manner. The Loan has been unanimously approved by the Company's board of directors. The security described herein has not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the " U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or pursuant to available exemptions therefrom.
