Columbus Circle Capital Corp III has closed its initial public offering of 23,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds of $230,000,000. The offering included the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 3,000,000 units. The blank check company formed to effect a business combination saw its units begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Market on July 9, 2026, under the symbol CCCTU.
Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share.

No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units.
Of the proceeds received from the consummation of the initial public offering and a simultaneous private placement of units, $230,000,000 was placed in the Company’s trust account for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders. An audited balance sheet of the Company as of July 10, 2026, reflecting receipt of the proceeds, will be included as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
