They are joined by CFO and Director Harry Brandler, who manages his family office Brandler. The SPAC intends to target sports franchises and live events; hospitality, food and beverage and retail concepts; and real estate with a particular interest in sports- and hospitality-anchored, mixed-use real estate developments (including stadium, arena and entertainment-district projects).

The La Jolla, CA-based company was founded in 2026. It plans to list on the Nasdaq under the symbol TLACU. Three Lions Acquisition filed confidentially on May 19, 2026. EarlyBirdCapital is the sole bookrunner on the deal.
