The merger, which will combine FaZe Clan Inc. with B. Riley Principal 150 Merger Corp., will result in a transaction valued at "approximately $1 billion" according to FaZe Clan's site. Once the merger is completed, B. Riley Principal 150 Merger Corp will change its name to FaZe Holdings Inc. and be listed on the NASDAQ as FAZE.

"We are thrilled to announce this important milestone of FaZe Clan's plans to enter the public market," said Lee Trink, the group's CEO. "We believe FaZe clan is becoming the voice of youth culture, a brand that sits at the nexus of content, gaming, entertainment and lifestyle in the digital-native world."
