| Item 7.01. | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On October 13, 2023, Concord Acquisition Corp III (the “Company”) filed a definitive proxy statement (the “definitive proxy statement”) for the solicitation of proxies in connection with a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders to be held on November 6, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”) to consider and vote on a proposal to extend (the “Extension”) the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination from November 8, 2023 to August 8, 2024, or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors.
The Company currently estimates that the per-share pro rata portion of the trust account will be approximately $10.69 at the time of the Special Meeting, based on approximately $43.3 million held in the trust account as of October 27, 2023 (which amount has taken into account the removal of interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be used by the Company to pay its estimated taxes payable).
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Report”) includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Certain of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “assumes,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “seeks,” or other similar expressions. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s estimates regarding amount of taxes owed and the anticipated redemption price per share. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include, without limitation, the Company’s ability to accurately calculate the amount of taxes owed that can be withdrawn from interest earned in the trust account, the amount of funds that may be available in the Company’s trust account following the Extension, if the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved, and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the definitive proxy statement and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, in each case under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents the Company has filed, or will file, with the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.
Participants in the Solicitation
The Company and its directors, executive officers and other members of management, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the stockholders of the Company in favor of the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal. Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names, affiliations and interests of the Company’s directors and executive officers in the Definitive Proxy Statement, which may be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated below.
No Offer or Solicitation
This Report shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities. This Report shall also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom.
