HCM III Acquisition completes $253 million IPO and enters advisory agreement

HCM III Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:HCMAU), a blank check company, announced Tuesday it completed its initial public offering (IPO) of 25,300,000 units at $10.00 per unit, raising gross proceeds of $253 million. The stock currently trades at $10.15, with a market capitalization of approximately $205 million, according to InvestingPro data. The offering included 3,300,000 units issued under the full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of a redeemable warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable for one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share.

According to a press release statement included in an SEC filing, the IPO proceeds, which include $12,045,000 of the underwriter’s deferred discount, have been placed in a U.S.-based trust account managed by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

In a related transaction on August 1, the company completed a private placement of 4,266,667 warrants to its sponsor, HCM Investor Holdings III, LLC, and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. at $1.50 per warrant, generating $6.4 million in gross proceeds.

HCM III Acquisition Corp. also disclosed it entered into an advisory agreement with Zenith Securities, LLC, an affiliate of a passive member of its sponsor. Under the agreement, Zenith will provide consulting and advisory services related to the IPO and the company’s initial business combination. Zenith is to receive a fee equal to 0.20% of the IPO proceeds (excluding the over-allotment option) and an additional 0.45% of the IPO proceeds (including the over-allotment option) upon completion of the initial business combination, both net of underwriter’s out-of-pocket expenses. The underwriter will reimburse the company for these advisory expenses.

An audited balance sheet as of August 4, 2025, reflecting the receipt of the IPO and private placement proceeds, was issued by the company and filed as an exhibit to the SEC report.

HCM III Acquisition Corp.’s Class A ordinary shares (NASDAQ:HCMA), units (NASDAQ:HCMAU), and warrants (NASDAQ:HCMAW) are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. All information is based on the company’s SEC filing and accompanying press release statement.
