Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On January 29, 2024, 10X Capital Venture Acquisition Corp. III, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“10X III”), received a written notice (the “Notice”) from NYSE Regulation (“NYSER”) indicating that 10X III is not currently in compliance with Section 1003(b)(i) of the NYSE American LLC Company Guide because 10X III has fewer than 300 public shareholders.

The Notice provides that 10X III has until February 28, 2024 (the “Compliance Plan Due Date”) to submit a plan to NYSER outlining how it intends to cure the deficiency and regain compliance with the NYSE American LLC’s (the “NYSE American”) continued listing standards by January 14, 2025. The plan will be reviewed by NYSER. NYSER will either accept the plan, at which time 10X III will be subject to quarterly monitoring for compliance with this plan, or NYSER will not accept the plan and 10X III will be subject to suspension and delisting procedures. 10X III intends to submit a plan by the Compliance Plan Due Date.

The Notice and the procedures described above have no current effect on the continued listing of 10X III’s securities on the NYSE American, subject to 10X III’s compliance with the NYSE American’s other applicable listing requirements.
