DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

A SPAC III Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is blank check company incorporated as a British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) business company on September 3, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). Although there is no restriction or limitation on what industry or geographic region the Company’s target operates in, it is the Company’s intention to pursue prospective targets that are in the Environmental, Sustainability and Governance (ESG) and material technology sector.

 

The Company has two wholly owned inactive subsidiaries, A SPAC III Mini Acquisition Corp. (“PubCo”), a BVI corporation, formed on January 24, 2025, and A SPAC III Mini Sub Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a BVI corporation and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo, formed on February 3, 2025.

 

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activities for the period from September 3, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2025 relate to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (the “IPO”) described below, and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

 

The Company’s sponsor is A SPAC III (Holdings) Corp., a BVI company (the “Sponsor”).

 

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on November 8, 2024. On November 12, 2024, the Company consummated its IPO of 5,500,000 units (“Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, no par value per share, and one right to receive of one-tenth of one Class A ordinary share upon the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $55,000,000. Simultaneously with the consummation 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, which is described in Note 4. 

 

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 825,000 Units at the IPO price to cover over-allotments, if any. Subsequently, on November 15, 2024, the underwriters notified the Company of their election to partially exercise the over-allotment option to purchase additional 500,000 Units of the Company. The closing of the issuance and sale of the additional Units occurred (the “Over-Allotment Option Units”) on November 19, 2024. The total aggregate issuance by the Company of 500,000 Over-Allotment Option Units at the price of $10.00 per unit generated total gross proceeds of $5,000,000. On November 19, 2024, simultaneously with the closing and sale of the Over-Allotment Option Units, the Company consummated the private sale of an additional 5,000 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $50,000. Furthermore, as a result of the underwriter’s partial exercise of the over-allotment option on November 19, 2024, 81,250 shares of Class B ordinary share were forfeited for no consideration.

 

Total transaction costs amounted to $1,600,217 consisting of $600,000 of cash underwriting commissions which was paid in cash at the closing date of the IPO and the sale of the Over-Allotment Option Units on November 12, 2024 and November 19, 2024, respectively, $675,000 fair value of the Representative Shares (as discussed below), and $325,217 of other offering costs. At the closing date of the IPO and Over-allotment Option, cash of $1,888,753 was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for the payment of accrued offering costs and for working capital purposes.

In connection with the IPO and issuance and sales of the Over-Allotment Option Units, the Company issued to Maxim Group LLC, (“Maxim”), the representative of underwriters, an aggregate of 270,000 Class A ordinary shares for no consideration (the “Representative Shares”). The fair value of the Representative Shares accounted for as compensation under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) is included in the offering costs. The estimated fair value of the Representative Shares as of the IPO date totaled $675,000. The Representative Shares are identical to the public shares except that Maxim has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares until the completion of our initial business combination. The Representative Shares are deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of the commencement of sales in the IPO pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). In addition, Maxim (and its designees) has agreed (and its permitted transferees will agree) (i) to waive its redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account (as defined below) with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within 12 months of the closing of the IPO (or 18 months, if the Company extends the time to complete a Business Combination).

 

A total of $60,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds from the sale of Units in the IPO (including the Over-Allotment Option Units) and the Private Placements on November 12, 2024 and November 19, 2024, were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust acting as trustee. The funds placed in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the proceeds from the IPO and the private placement will not be released from the Trust Account the earlier to occur of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (A) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (defined below) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity and (iii) the redemption of all of the public shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (defined below), subject to applicable law and as further described in the Prospectus. In no other circumstances will a public shareholder have any right or interest of any kind in the trust account. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the public shareholders.

 

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a business combination successfully. The initial Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses or assets having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the Trust Account (defined below) (less any taxes payable on interest earned and less any interest earned thereon that is released to the Company for taxes) at the time of signing a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

 

The Company will provide the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require the Company to seek shareholder approval under the law or stock exchange listing requirement. The Company will provide the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the Trust Account is initially anticipated to be $10.00 per public share (subject to increase of up to an additional $0.20 per unit in the event that the Sponsor elects to extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination, as described in more detail in the IPO).

The Company accounted for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (ASC 480). Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) will be classified as a liability instrument and will be measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) will be classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares will be classified as shareholder’s equity. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classified the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. As of November 19, 2024, given that the 6,000,000 Class A ordinary shares (inclusive of the partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option) sold as part of the units in the IPO were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., rights), the initial carrying value of Class A ordinary shares classified as temporary equity was the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes in redemption value as a charge against retained earnings or, in the absence of retained earnings, as a charge against additional paid-in-capital over an expected 12-month period leading up to a business combination.

 

The Company will have only 12 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 18 months from the closing of the IPO if the Company extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination by the full amount of time) (the “Combination Period”) to complete the initial Business Combination. If the Company has not completed the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will: (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, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under British Virgin Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

 

The underwriters, the Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Private Placement Shares (as defined in Note 4), Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), Representative’s Shares (as defined in Note 6) and any public shares they may hold in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Private Placement Shares, Founder Shares and Representative’s Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period). If the Company submits the initial Business Combination to the public shareholders for a vote, the underwriters, the Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed (and their permitted transferees will agree), pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement entered into with the Company, to vote any Private Placement Shares, Founder Shares and Representative’s Shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of the initial Business Combination.

 

The Company’s Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy their indemnity obligations and believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. The Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such obligations.

On December 31, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with HDEducation Group Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“HD Group”) (the “HD Group Agreement”). HD Group is headquartered in Anji County, China, and is a comprehensive service platform for students pursuing university education globally. The Agreement is intended to express a mutual indication of interest, and remains subject, in all respect, to the execution of definitive agreements. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the aggregate consideration to be paid to existing shareholders of HD Group is $300,000,000, which will be paid entirely in stock, comprised of newly issued Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares of A SPAC III Mini Acquisition Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company and the Company’s its wholly owned subsidiary (the “Purchaser”) at a price of $10.00 per share. On May 21, 2025, the Company and HD Group mutually terminated the HD Group Agreement.

 

On January 24, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with Bioserica International Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company (“Bioserica”) (the “Bioserica Agreement”). Bioserica is in the business of researching and developing, manufacturing, marketing and sales of bio-based antimicrobial materials. The Bioserica Agreement is intended to express a mutual indication of interest, reflects additional terms negotiated, and remains subject, in all respect, to the execution of definitive agreements. Pursuant to the terms of the Bioserica Agreement, the aggregate consideration to be paid to existing shareholders of Bioserica is $200,000,000, which will be paid entirely in stock, comprised of newly issued Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares of the Purchaser at a price of $10.00 per share.

 

On May 23, 2025, the Company entered into a merger agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) with PubCo, Merger Sub, and Bioserica.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, among other things, (i) the Company will be merged with and into the Purchaser, the separate corporate existence will cease and the Purchaser will continue as the surviving corporation (the “Reincorporation Merger”), and (ii) the Merger Sub will merge with and into Bioserica and Bioserica will continue as the surviving company under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Purchaser (the “Acquisition Merger”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the aggregate consideration for the Acquisition Merger is $217,860,000, consisting of (i) $200,000,000, payable in the form of 20,000,000 newly issued Class B ordinary shares, valued at $10.00 per share; and (ii) $17,860,000, payable in the form of 1,786,000 newly issued PubCo Class A ordinary shares, valued at $10.00 per share (assuming that Bioserica would receive an aggregate of $12,500,000 investment from third parties prior to Closing).

 

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties thereto. The consummation of the proposed Merger is subject to certain conditions as further described in the Merger Agreement.

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Bioserica, the Purchaser, the Company and a shareholder of Bioserica (the “Supporting Shareholder”) entered into a voting and support agreement (“Voting and Support Agreement”) pursuant to which such the Supporting Shareholder has agreed, among other things, to vote in favor of the Acquisition Merger, the adoption of the Merger Agreement and any other matters necessary or reasonably requested by Bioserica, the Purchaser or the Company for consummation of the Acquisition Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In addition, the Supporting Shareholder has agreed not to sell, assign, encumber, pledge, hypothecate, dispose, loan or otherwise transfer the shares of the Company owned of record and beneficially by such Supporting Shareholder or over which such Supporting Shareholder has voting power, prior to the earlier to occur of (a) the closing of the Acquisition Merger, (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement, and (c) written agreement of the Supporting Shareholder and the Parent and Purchaser.

Going Concern Consideration

 

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $1,068,509 in cash and working capital of $726,118. The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the IPO were satisfied through the proceeds of $25,000 from the sale of the Founders Shares, and loan proceeds from the Sponsor of $350,000 under the Note. On January 24, 2025, the Company repaid the Promissory Note in full. The Promissory Note was terminated after the repayment. Subsequent from the consummation of the IPO, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the IPO, and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account.

 

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination. The Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete its Business Combination or because it becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of public shares upon consummation of its Business Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete its Business Combination because it does not have sufficient funds available, it will may cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following the Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, the Company may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet its obligations.

 

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by November 12, 2025 (assuming no extension), then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The date for liquidation and subsequent dissolution as well as liquidity concerns raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

Various social and political circumstances in the U.S. and around the world (including rising trade tensions between the U.S. and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the U.S. and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries), may contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the U.S. and worldwide.

 

As a result of these circumstances and the ongoing Russia/Belarus/Ukraine, Hamas/Iran/Lebanon/Israel in the Middle Eastern countries conflicts and/or other future global conflicts, the Company’s ability to consummate a Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates a Business Combination, may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, the Company’s ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The impact of this action and potential future sanctions on the world economy and the specific impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or ability to consummate a Business Combination are not yet determinable. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
