Talkspace (Hudson Executive Investment) ^{Priced, Nasdaq: TALK}

We are a blank check company whose business purpose is to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. While we may pursue an initial business combination in any industry, sector or geographic region, we intend to initially focus our search for an initial business combination in two broad industry sectors: (i) financial services, with a focus on financial technology (FinTech); and (ii) healthcare, including healthcare information technology, services and products. The company was co-founded by Hudson Executive Capital, a value-oriented, event-driven investment firm with a focus on, and experience across, the financial services and healthcare sectors, Douglas Braunstein, our President and Chairman, and Douglas Bergeron, our CEO. Mr. Braunstein is the Founder and a Managing Partner of Hudson Executive Capital and Mr. Bergeron is a Managing Partner. Hudson Executive Capital, which is a member of our sponsor and is our affiliate, was founded in 2015 and has a successful history investing in undervalued domestic small and mid-cap public companies with identified and actionable opportunities for value creation. Since Hudson Executive Capital’s inception, the majority of its employed capital has been focused on financial services and healthcare. We believe our management team’s direct industry expertise, operational experience and strategic backgrounds, our relationship with Hudson Executive Capital, and our management team’s and Hudson Executive Capital’s network of relationships and executives, including the CEO Network, which is described below, provide us with a competitive advantage in both of our intended industry sectors of focus.
