(NASDAQ:TSIAU) ("TSIA"), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company sponsored by Tishman Speyer, today announced an update of recent activity.

"We were pleased with our ability to execute our growth strategy as planned, and believe we will see sustained growth through the remainder of 2021 due to increased investments in sales and marketing, robust new product offerings and partnerships, and the expectation of a continued macro recovery. Furthermore, we are excited about the pending merger with TS Innovation and believe we are on track to complete the proposed transaction during the second quarter of this year."
