Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On November 7, 2023, CC Neuberger Principal Holdings III, a Cayman Island exempted company (the “Company”), announced that the board of directors (the “Board”) has determined not to proceed with another one-month extension, as permitted under the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles (the “Articles”) that allow the Company to extend the date by which it must complete its initial business combination.

 

On February 1, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “Extension Meeting”) to amend the Articles to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from February 5, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) to May 5, 2023 (the “Articles Extension Date”) and to allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to nine times by an additional one month each time after the Articles Extension Date, by resolution of the Company’s Board if requested by CC Neuberger Principal Holdings III Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until January 29, 2024, or a total of up to twelve months after the Original Termination Date, unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination shall have occurred prior to such date (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”). The shareholders of the Company approved the Extension Amendment Proposal at the Extension Meeting. Subsequently, by resolution of the Board, six additional one-month extensions were made by the Company that extended the Termination Date to November 5, 2023, at which point the Board decided to not extend the Termination Date any further as it had determined the Company would not consummate an initial business combination within the time period required.

 

As per the Company’s Articles, by not consummating an initial business combination within the time period required, 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 Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”), including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

 

The per-share redemption price for the Public Shares will be approximately $10.93 (the “Redemption Amount”), based on the amount in the Trust Account as of November 6, 2023. In accordance with the terms of the related trust agreement, the Company expects to retain $100,000 of the interest from the Trust Account to pay dissolution expenses.

 

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Company’s initial shareholder has waived its redemption rights with respect to the outstanding Class B ordinary shares par value $0.0001 per share, issued prior to the Company’s initial public offering. As of November 5, 2023, the Company ceased all operations except for those required to wind up the Company’s business.

 

On or about November 8, 2023, the Public Shares will be suspended from trading, 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 presentation of their respective share or unit certificates or other delivery of their shares or units to the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Beneficial owners of Public Shares held in “street name,” however, will not need to take any action in order to receive the Redemption Amount.

 

The Company expects that The New York Stock Exchange will file a Form 25 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to delist its 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.

 

As such, the Company has determined to redeem all of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company, effective as of the close of business on or about November 20, 2023. The information in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
