BiomX Inc. to Rebrand as Tessera Defense and Homeland Security Inc
On September 11, 2026, BiomX Inc., a technology company listed on the NYSE American under the ticker PHGE, will officially change its name to Tessera Defense and Homeland Security Inc., marking a significant shift in its strategic focus and corporate identity. The transformation is set to take effect at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on the same day, with the company’s common stock continuing to trade under the new ticker symbol HLSQ.
This rebranding signifies a comprehensive realignment of BiomX’s business strategy, following a series of acquisitions and investments over the past year. The company explains that the name change is inspired by the concept of a tessera, a single tile in a mosaic. Each technology company within the group, like individual tiles, comes together to form a comprehensive security solution.
“The date we chose was deliberate,” said Michael Oster, CEO of BiomX. “September 11, 2001, changed the world’s perception of security. We are dedicated to preventing such failures by creating technologies that predict, detect, and respond to threats.” The name Tessera, Oster added, encapsulates the company’s mission: to bring together individual technologies to form a robust and cohesive security system.
BiomX’s current portfolio includes several key subsidiaries and investments. Dr. Frucht Systems Ltd. specializes in threat detection technology, while Zorronet Ltd. provides AI-powered predictive and analytical services, with systems deployed with defense and critical infrastructure clients in Israel. The company also holds a minority interest in M.E.A. Testing Systems Ltd., focusing on electric motor testing for unmanned and autonomous systems.
The name change and associated corporate actions do not affect the rights of stockholders. The one-for-ten reverse stock split, previously announced on August 28, 2026, is expected to take effect on September 9, 2026. The reverse stock split and name change are separate corporate actions, ensuring a smooth transition for investors.
BiomX Inc., now to be known as Tessera Defense and Homeland Security Inc., will continue its mission to develop and deploy advanced technologies for defense, security, and critical infrastructure protection. The company’s common stock is listed on the NYSE American, and interested parties can reach out to the company through Yair Ohayon at [email protected] for further information.
