Israeli startup Otonomo, which runs a vehicle data platform, said Monday it will go public on the New York Stock Exchange at an implied value of $1.4 billion.

Otonomo will make the move by merging with a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, called Software Acquisition Group Inc. II. The SPAC is based in Las Vegas and went public last year, raising $172.5 million.

The deal is expected to net Otonomo some $307 million in cash and cash equivalents, the company said in a statement.
