On December 15, 2025, ITHAX Acquisition Corp III (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 23,000,000 (the “Units”), including the issuance of 3,000,000 Units as a result of the underwriter’s exercise of its over-allotment option in full. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (“Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $230,000,000.
On December 15, 2025, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Sponsor Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 3,500,000 warrants (the “Sponsor Private Placement Warrants”) to ITHAX Acquisition Sponsor III LLC at a purchase price of $1.00 per Sponsor Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $3,500,000. In addition, on December 15, 2025, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Representative Private Placement” and collectively with the Sponsor Private Placement, the “Private Placements”) of an aggregate of 2,000,000 warrants (the “Representative Private Placement Warrants” and collectively with the Sponsor Private Placement Warrants, the “Private Placement Warrants”) to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $2,000,000.
A total of $230,000,000, comprised of $224,500,000 of the proceeds from the IPO (which amount includes $9,800,000 of the underwriter’s deferred discount) and $5,500,000 of the proceeds of the sales of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at J.P.
