Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. III raises $253M in standard SPAC IPO with rights structure, targeting disruptive growth companies in North America/Europe.

Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. III has successfully completed its initial public offering, raising $253 million through the sale of 25.3 million units priced at $10.00 each. The offering included the full exercise of the underwriters' 15% overallotment option, indicating solid initial demand for this SPAC.

The unit structure includes one Class A ordinary share plus one right to receive one-tenth of a share upon completing a business combination - slightly different from the typical SPAC warrant structure. This rights-based approach generally results in less dilution compared to warrants but may offer more modest upside potential for early investors.

The SPAC also secured an additional $7.4 million through a concurrent private placement of 740,000 units. All IPO proceeds have been placed in trust, providing $10.00 per public unit as a theoretical floor value (subject to redemptions).

This mid-sized SPAC targets North American or European businesses in "disruptive growth sectors" that complement their management team's expertise. The management lineup includes Michael Blitzer (CEO), Peter Ondishin (CFO), and Kevin Shannon (COO).

Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. served as the sole bookrunner, and notably purchased 240,000 of the private placement units, aligning their interests somewhat with the SPAC's success.

As with all SPACs, the critical next phase will be identifying and executing a business combination with a suitable target company, though no specific timeline is provided in this announcement. The $253 million trust now stands ready for deployment pending target identification.

NEW YORK, April 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. III (the “Company”), a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, today announced the closing of its initial public offering of 25,300,000 units, which includes 3,300,000 units issued pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriters of their overallotment option at a price of $10.00 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds of $253,000,000. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A ordinary share upon the closing of the Company’s initial business combination.
