This Registration Statement on Form S-1 is being filed with respect to the registration of 1,000,000 additional units of Lionheart III Corp, a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), each consisting of one share of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant, pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and General Instruction V to Form S-1. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments, and only whole warrants are exercisable.

The disclosure in the Prior Registration Statement regarding the underwriters’ over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment”) will be revised in the Registrant’s final prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act to reflect an Over-Allotment of 1,000,000 additional units (rather than 1,500,000 additional units, as disclosed in the Prior Registration Statement).
