The Company is sponsored by The TCW Group, Inc. (“TCW”), a leading global investment management firm headquartered in Los Angeles, California. The Company’s management is associated with TCW’s New America Premier business unit, which was established by Joseph R. Shaposhnik in August 2015.

The Company intends to identify, merge with and take public a durable and predictable business well positioned to deliver superior revenue growth.
The Company’s units are expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and trade under the ticker symbol “TSPQ.U” beginning March 2, 2021. Each unit consists of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock and one-third of one warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share.
