| Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
On July 11, 2024, 10X Capital Venture Acquisition Corp. III (the “Company”) announced that it will redeem all of its outstanding Class A ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value (“Class A Ordinary Shares”), that were included in the units issued in its initial public offering (the “Public Shares”), effective as of the close of business on July 26, 2024, as the Company will not consummate an initial business combination on or prior to July 14, 2024. The Company’s previously announced Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on Friday July 12, 2024 is cancelled accordingly.
Pursuant to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended, in the event that the Company has not consummated an initial business combination by July 14, 2024, the Company shall (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the public shares in consideration of a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (net of certain amounts withdrawn as described in the Company’s registration statement, and less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.
The per-share redemption price for the Public Shares is expected to be approximately $11.13 (before taking into account the removal of a portion of the accrued interest in the trust account to pay taxes and $100,000 for dissolution expenses).
The Public Shares will cease trading as of the close of business on July 12, 2024. As of the close of business on July 26, 2024, the Public Shares will be deemed cancelled and will represent only the right to receive the redemption amount.
The redemption amount will be payable to the holders of the Public Shares upon delivery of their shares or units. Beneficial owners of Public Shares held in “street name,” however, will not need to take any action in order to receive the redemption amount. Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company will be the transfer agent, whose address is 1 State Street, 30th Floor, New York, NY 10004-1571.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless. The Company’s initial shareholders have waived their redemption rights with respect to the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares issued before the Company’s initial public offering.
The Company expects that the NYSE American will file a Form 25 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to delist the Company’s securities. The Company thereafter expects to file a Form 15 with the Commission to terminate the registration of its securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
