In a press release, Einride and Legato Merger Corp. III announced an oversubscribed $113 million PIPE financing to support their planned business combination. The financing, backed by new and existing investors including a U.S.-based global asset management firm and EQT Ventures, will fund Einride’s technology roadmap and global expansion.

The PIPE brings total investor commitments related to the transaction to approximately $213 million, including Einride’s previously announced $100 million crossover round.
