Item 8.01. Other Events
As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 8, 2024, on November 12, 2024, A SPAC III Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated the IPO of 5,500,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (“Ordinary Share”) and one right (“Right”) to receive one-tenth of one Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $55,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 825,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 280,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,800,000.
As of November 12, 2024, a total of $55,000,000 of the proceeds from the IPO and the private placement with A SPAC III (Holdings) Corp., the Company’s sponsor, were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders. An audited balance sheet as of November 12, 2024 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the sale of the private placement was issued by the Company and filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 12, 2024.
Subsequently, on November 15, 2024, the underwriters notified the Company of its partial exercise of their over-allotment option. The closing of the issuance and sale of the additional Units (the “Over-Allotment Option Units”) occurred on November 19, 2024. The total aggregate issuance by the Company of 500,000 Over-Allotment Option Units at a price of $10.00 per unit generated total gross proceeds of $5,000,000. On November 19, 2024, simultaneously with the sale of the Over-Allotment Option Units, the Company consummated the private placement of an additional 5,000 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor generating gross proceeds of $50,000.
On November 19, 2024, an additional $5,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) consisting of the net proceeds from the sale of the Over-Allotment Option Units, less the underwriters’ discount of $0.10 per Over-Allotment Option Unit ($50,000), and the gross proceeds from the sale of the additional private placement units ($50,000) was placed in the Trust Account, resulting in a total of $60,000,000 held in the Trust Account.
In connection with the issuance and sales of the Over-Allotment Option Units, the Company issued an additional 22,500 Class A ordinary shares to the underwriters.
On November 19, 2024, the underwriters canceled the remainder of the over-allotment option. In connection with the cancellation of the remainder of the over-allotment option, the Company canceled an aggregate of 81,250 Class B ordinary shares issued to the Sponsor prior to the IPO.
Included with this report as Exhibit 99.1 is a pro-forma balance sheet reflecting the partial exercise of the over-allotment option.
