Tessera Defense & Homeland Security Inc.: questions answered
What is Tessera Defense & Homeland Security Inc. (HLSQ)?
Tessera Defense & Homeland Security Inc. is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated in Delaware and registered with the SEC under CIK 0001739174. It completed its initial public offering in Dec 2018 and listing on NYSE. Class A shares trade under the ticker HLSQ on NYSE. Business combination closed; the company trades under a new ticker.
How much does Tessera Defense & Homeland Security Inc. hold in trust?
No trust balance has been disclosed in a filing we have indexed for Tessera Defense & Homeland Security Inc.. For a newly priced IPO this is normal: the figure first appears in the quarterly report after closing.
When must Tessera Defense & Homeland Security Inc. complete a merger?
No combination deadline appears in the filings we have indexed. The date is stated in the charter and repeated in each quarterly report; where our parser could not establish it with confidence we leave it blank rather than infer one.
What happens if Tessera Defense & Homeland Security Inc. does not find a target in time?
The charter requires the vehicle to redeem 100% of the public shares and return the trust, pro rata, to public shareholders. That is the mechanism working as designed rather than a default. Founder shares and warrants are worthless in that outcome, which is why the sponsor's incentive is to get a deal done or to buy more time. Across the market, deadline lapsed without a deal; trust returned to public shareholders.
Can I redeem shares in Tessera Defense & Homeland Security Inc., and at what price?
Public shareholders may elect to redeem in connection with a combination vote and at each extension vote, at the pro-rata trust value on the relevant record date, most recently disclosed at about $10.00 per share. Redemption is a right attached to the public shares only; warrants and rights carry no claim on the trust. The mechanics and the deadline for electing are set out in the proxy statement for the vote in question.
What tickers does Tessera Defense & Homeland Security Inc. trade under?
Class A shares trade as HLSQ on NYSE. Units trade first and separate into their component securities roughly 52 days after the IPO; only the Class A shares carry the redemption right against the trust.
Is the trust value the same as the share price for Tessera Defense & Homeland Security Inc.?
No, and the gap between them is the whole trade. Trust per share is a disclosed, contractual figure of $10.00, being what a redeeming holder receives. The market price is whatever the shares change hands at: most recently $0.79, a spread to the redemption value. Quotes on this site are delayed and indicative; confirm on your own venue before trading.
Is Tessera Defense & Homeland Security Inc. tradeable, and where?
Yes. HLSQ returned a live quote of $0.79 on NYSE. Quotes here are delayed and refreshed on a schedule rather than streamed, so treat the figure as indicative and confirm on your own venue. Units and warrants trade under their own symbols and are quoted separately.
Is Tessera Defense & Homeland Security Inc. a good investment?
That is not a question this site answers. Tessera Defense & Homeland Security Inc. is covered here as reference data: what the company filed, when it filed it, and what the numbers in those filings say. The Edge, FOMO and Potential scores on this page are derived measures with a published formula, not ratings of investment merit: they describe the setup, and every component is shown so you can take them apart. We publish no price targets and no recommendations, and nothing here should be read as advice. The figures are a starting point for your own work, and each one carries the accession number of the filing it came from.
Where does this Tessera Defense & Homeland Security Inc. data come from?
Filings Tessera Defense & Homeland Security Inc. submitted to the SEC under CIK 0001739174: the registration statement and final prospectus for the structure, quarterly and annual reports for the trust, current reports and proxy statements for deals, votes and extensions. Trust economics are taken from the registrant's own XBRL tags rather than parsed from prose, which is why they are exact. Every filing in the history above is listed with its accession number, which identifies the document uniquely on EDGAR; Pro accounts open it directly from the row.
Compiled by the SPACListing research desk
Last reconciled Sep 17, 2026
Every figure on this page is read from documents the registrants filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, principally the IPO prospectus (Form 424B4), quarterly and annual reports, current reports and proxy statements, the registrant's own XBRL tags for trust economics. Nothing is sourced from press coverage, from the companies themselves, or from a third-party aggregator. Where a filing does not disclose something, the field is left blank rather than estimated.
