Reno, Nevada, March 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LGL Systems Acquisition Corp. (DFNSU) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it successfully transferred the listing of its units to the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and has commenced trading.

The LGL team consists of proven operators and investors dedicated to national security and defense, protecting our citizens against a host of evolving/emerging threats such as cyber, communications, hypersonics, etc. As such, the Company seeks to acquire and profitably grow an aerospace and defense company to protect and serve America’s interests at home and abroad.
