Ocean Capital LLC, a Puerto Rico limited liability company (“Ocean Capital,” “we,” “us,” or “ours”) is filing this amendment (this “Amendment”) to its definitive proxy statement dated October 12, 2021 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated November 1, 2021, the “Proxy Statement”) in connection with the election of our three (3) nominees to the board of directors (the “Board”) of Tax-Free Fixed Income Fund III for Puerto Rico Residents, Inc. (the “Fund”) and our proposal to repeal any provision or amendment to the Fund’s bylaws (the “Bylaws”) adopted by the Board without shareholder approval subsequent to September 23, 2021 (i.e., the date we submitted our nomination notice to the Fund), each at the annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”).
According to the Fund’s Amendment No. 2 to its definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 1, 2021, the Fund reconvened and then adjourned the Annual Meeting for a second time without transacting any other business on November 30, 2021. The Annual Meeting will be held virtually at 11:30 a.m. Atlantic Standard Time (10:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time) on January 13, 2022.
According to the Fund’s proxy statement, any shareholder of record wishing to participate in the Annual Meeting must register at https://viewproxy.com/UBSPuertoRico/broadridgevsm/ no later than 5:00 p.m. Atlantic Standard Time (4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) on January 12, 2022. According to the Fund’s proxy statement, Broadridge will then e-mail you the meeting login information and instructions for attending and voting at the Annual Meeting. Shareholders whose shares are held in “street name” must obtain legal proxies from their brokers, banks, trust companies or other nominees and follow the link above to register their shares, in order to participate in the Annual Meeting.
WE URGE YOU TO VOTE ON OUR BLUE PROXY CARD FOR THE ELECTION OF OUR NOMINEES AND FOR THE PROPOSAL TO REPEAL ANY PROVISION OF, OR AMENDMENT TO, THE BYLAWS ADOPTED BY THE BOARD WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL SUBSEQUENT TO SEPTEMBER 23, 2021.
According to the Fund’s Amendment No. 2 to its definitive proxy statement, the record date for the adjourned Annual Meeting remains September 8, 2021. Shareholders who have already voted do not need to recast their votes unless they wish to change their votes. Proxies previously submitted will be voted at the reconvened meeting unless properly revoked. Shareholders who have not already voted are encouraged to do so promptly using the instructions provided in their voting instruction form or proxy card.

REVOCATION OF PROXIES
If you are a shareholder of record, you may change your proxy instructions or revoke your proxy at any time before your proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting. Proxies may be revoked by any of the following actions:
● | signing, dating and returning the enclosed BLUE Proxy Card (the latest dated proxy is the one that counts); |
● | submitting a proxy with new voting instructions using the internet or telephone voting system as indicated on the BLUE Proxy Card; |
● | delivering a written notice of revocation or a later dated proxy for the Annual Meeting to Ocean Capital LLC, c/o Morrow Sodali, 509 Madison Avenue, Suite 1206, New York, NY 10022, or to the secretary of the Fund; or |
● | attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person (although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy). |
If your shares are held in a brokerage account by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee. If you attend the Annual Meeting and you beneficially own shares but are not the record owner, your mere attendance at the Annual Meeting WILL NOT be sufficient to revoke your prior given proxy. You must have written authority from the record owner (e.g., by obtaining a legal proxy) to vote your shares held in its name at the Annual Meeting.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND WHERE TO FIND IT
Shareholders can obtain copies of Ocean Capital’s definitive proxy statement, any amendments or supplements to the proxy statement, and other documents filed by Ocean Capital with the SEC for no charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
