FAQ

What ownership stake in SVAC does the sponsor report on this Schedule 13G?

The sponsor reports beneficial ownership of 7,546,667 Class B ordinary shares, representing 24.7% of Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. III’s Class A shares on an as-converted basis. This percentage is calculated against 23,000,000 Class A shares outstanding as of November 12, 2025.

Who are the reporting persons in the SVAC Schedule 13G filing?

The filing is made on behalf of Spring Valley Acquisition III Sponsor, LLC and Christopher Sorrells. The sponsor directly holds the Class B shares, while Sorrells, as managing member with an economic interest, may be deemed a beneficial owner but disclaims ownership beyond his pecuniary interest.

What securities are covered in the SVAC Schedule 13G and how do they convert?

The filing covers Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. III. These Class B shares automatically convert into Class A shares on a one-for-one basis at or after the initial business combination, or earlier at the holder’s option, with no expiration date.

How was the 24.7% ownership percentage in SVAC calculated in this filing?

The 24.7% figure reflects the Class A shares issuable upon conversion of the 7,546,667 Class B shares compared with 23,000,000 Class A shares outstanding as of November 12, 2025. That outstanding share count comes from Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. III’s Form 10-Q filed November 13, 2025.

What voting and dispositive power over SVAC shares is reported in the Schedule 13G?

Both the sponsor and Christopher Sorrells report shared voting power and shared dispositive power over 7,546,667 shares, with no sole voting or dispositive power. This means decisions about voting and selling those shares are made jointly as described in the filing’s ownership section.

What is the significance of the Class B shares for SVAC’s future capital structure?

The 7,546,667 Class B shares will convert into Class A shares in connection with, or after, the initial business combination, or earlier at the holder’s option. This conversion means the sponsor’s 24.7% as-converted stake will become part of the public Class A float post-combination.
