MONTREAL — Lightspeed POS Inc. says it will launch an initial public offering of its voting shares in the United States to help fund its growth strategies.

The Montreal-based retail payment technology firm's shares will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker LSPD, the same symbol it uses on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

A total of 11.65 million shares will be offered through a syndicated of underwriters led by Morgan Stanley, Barclays and BMO Capital Markets, with several banks, including RBC, CIBC, Scotiabank and Toronto-Dominion, acting as co-managers.

The shares offered include 10 million from the company and 1.65 million from the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, a key shareholder.

There's also an over-allotment option for up to nearly 1.75 million shares.

The price and size of the offering is yet to be determined.
