Yorkville assumes sponsor control of the SPAC with a 28.1% stake.
Texas Ventures Acquisition III Corp, a blank-check company, now has a Yorkville-managed sponsor holding 7,500,000 Class B shares and 4,700,000 private warrants acquired for
The September 18, 2025 Purchase Agreement simultaneously changed control of the sponsor and reconstituted the entire board and management team. Commitments in the Insider Letter—voting in favor of any business combination, no redemptions, and transfer restrictions on 7,500,000 Class B shares and 4,700,000 warrants—align the sponsor with completing a deal, while limiting its downside to forfeited founder economics if no transaction occurs.
Because the filing states 30,000,000 Ordinary Shares outstanding, the sponsor’s 25% stake and the broader group’s 28.1% position represent a significant blocking and approving interest in any merger. Future company disclosures around a proposed business combination and any changes in these ownership levels will frame how this influence is exercised.

On September 18, 2025, the Issuer, the Prior Sponsor, and the New Sponsor entered into a Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the New Sponsor (i) purchased from the Prior Sponsor (a) 7,500,000 shares of Class B Ordinary Shares and (b) 4,700,000 Private Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $7,400,000, and (ii) upon closing, became the sponsor of the Issuer (together, the "Purchase"). The transactions under the Purchase Agreement closed on September 18, 2025.
As a condition to consummation of the Purchase, all of the then-existing members of the Board of Directors (the "Prior Board") and then-existing officers of the Issuer resigned, and the New Sponsor designated (i) a new board of directors, which was elected immediately prior to the closing of the Purchase by the Prior Sponsor as the then-sole holder of the Class B Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms of the Issuer's amended and restated articles of association, and (ii) new management team, which was appointed immediately prior to the closing of the Purchase by the Prior Board, effective as of the closing of the Purchase.
Upon the closing of the Purchase, the New Sponsor became the sponsor of the Issuer and the new directors and officers designated by the New Sponsor assumed their positions. In addition, and as described below, upon the closing of the Purchase, in accordance with the terms of the Joinder to become a party to the Registration Rights Agreement, the New Sponsor became a party to the Registration Rights Agreement. Following the closing of the Purchase, the Issuer intends to do business under the name "Yorkville Acquisition II." In connection with soliciting approval of its initial business combination, but not before such time, the Issuer intends to change its name to exclude the words "Texas Ventures Acquisition III."
Insider Letter
Additionally, in connection with the entry into the Purchase Agreement, the New Sponsor, the Issuer, and each of the individuals designated to become officers or directors of the Issuer upon the closing of the Purchase (the "Insiders") entered into the Insider Letter dated as of September 18, 2025, whereby the New Sponsor and each Insider has agreed, among other things, (i) to vote all Class B Ordinary Shares and any other shares acquired by the New Sponsor or such Insider in favor of any proposed business combination, and not to redeem any Class A Ordinary Shares owned by the New Sponsor or such Insider in connection with such business combination, and, if the Issuer seeks to consummate a business combination by engaging in a tender offer, not to sell or tender any Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares owned by the New Sponsor or such Insider in connection therewith; (ii) that in the event the Issuer fails to consummate a business combination within the time period required by its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the New Sponsor and each Insider will take all reasonable steps to cause the Issuer to cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeem 100% of the Class A Ordinary Shares sold as part of the units in the Issuer's initial public offering, and dissolve and liquidate the Issuer, subject to applicable law; (iii) not to propose any amendment to the Issuer's governing documents (other than in connection with a business combination) that would modify the substance or timing of the Issuer's obligation to allow redemption in connection with a business combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if a business combination is not completed within the required timeframe, unless public shareholders are provided with the opportunity to redeem their shares; (iv) to acknowledge that the New Sponsor and each Insider will not be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any Class B Ordinary Shares held by them if the Issuer fails to complete a business combination within the required timeframe, although the New Sponsor and each Insider will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Issuer fails to complete a business combination within the prescribed time frame; (v) that the Issuer will indemnify the New Sponsor and its affiliates, managers, and certain other related persons for certain costs, fees, and expenses incurred in connection with investment opportunities sourced for the Issuer or activities in connection with the Issuer's affairs, subject to certain exceptions; (vi) that the New Sponsor will indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense to which the Issuer may become subject as a result of certain claims by third parties for services rendered or products sold to the Issuer or a prospective target business, to the extent necessary to ensure that such claims do not reduce the amount of funds in the trust account below the required per-share amount, subject to certain exceptions; (vii) that monetary damages may be inadequate for a breach of certain obligations under the Insider Letter and that injunctive relief may be available; and (viii) that the New Sponsor will not transfer any of the 7,500,000 Class B Ordinary Shares and 4,700,000 Private Warrants acquired in connection with the Purchase Agreement prior to the closing of the Issuer's initial business combination, except to certain permitted transferees who agree to be bound by the terms of the Insider Letter.
Joinder to and Amendment of the Registration Rights Agreement
On September 18, 2025, the New Sponsor entered into the Joinder, which was acknowledged and agreed to by the Issuer and the Prior Sponsor. Pursuant to the Joinder, the New Sponsor became a party to the Registration Rights Agreement. Under the terms of the Joinder, the New Sponsor agreed to be subject to the rights and obligations of the Registration Rights Agreement applicable to the sponsor, other than any transfer restrictions or lock-up obligations, which were expressly removed as to the New Sponsor upon its acquisition of the Issuer's securities from the Prior Sponsor. Entry into the Joinder was a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, dated September 18, 2025, by and among the Issuer, the Prior Sponsor, and the New Sponsor, as previously described in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Officer Resignation and Appointments
In connection with the closing of the Purchase, on September 18, 2025, each of the Issuer's then-serving directors and officers, including E. Scott Crist, R. Greg Smith, Andrew Clark, Harvin Moore, and Aruna Viswanathan, resigned from their respective positions with the Issuer, effective as of the closing of the transactions under the Purchase Agreement. The resignations were delivered pursuant to written resignation letters provided to the Issuer and were formally accepted by the Prior Board in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement through written resolutions adopted in connection with the closing. The resignations of the above-listed officers and directors were solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and were not in connection with any known disagreement with the Issuer on any matter.
Also in connection with and immediately prior to the Purchase Agreement, on September 18, 2025, the Prior Sponsor, as the then-sole holder of the Class B Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms of the Issuer's amended and restated articles of association, elected Lawrence Glick, Omar Hasan, Alan Garten, Scott Glabe, Mark Angelo, and Devin Nunes as directors of the Issuer, with Mark Angelo being appointed as the Chairman of the board of directors of the Issuer, with each of the foregoing appointments effective as of the closing of the Purchase. The Prior Board also appointed Kevin McGurn as Chief Executive Officer and Troy Rillo as Chief Financial Officer, each effective as of the closing of the Purchase.
Plans or Proposals
The Class A Ordinary Shares purchased on the open market and Sponsor-held Securities owned by the Reporting Persons have been acquired for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Issuer's ordinary shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons and their representatives may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate. The Reporting Persons may make further acquisitions of the Ordinary Shares from time to time and, subject to certain restrictions, may dispose of any or all of the Ordinary Shares held by the Reporting Persons at any time depending on an ongoing evaluation of the investment in such securities, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities and other factors. However, the Class B Ordinary Shares are subject to certain restrictions on transfer as described above in the Insider Letter. With respect to paragraph (b) of Item 4, the Issuer is a blank check 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. Among other things, the Reporting Persons may introduce the Issuer to potential candidates for a business combination, or propose one or more business combinations with potential candidates. Under various agreements between the Issuer and the Reporting Persons, as described in the paragraphs above, the Reporting Persons have agreed (A) to vote their shares in favor of any proposed business combination and (B) not to redeem any shares in connection with a shareholder vote (or tender offer) to approve (or in connection with) a proposed initial business combination. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position, change their purpose or formulate plans or proposals with respect to the Issuer.
In addition, as a member of the Board, Mr. Angelo will be involved in negotiations in connection with any prospective business combination of the Issuer, the decisions of the Board related to any such business combination, and any matters to be presented to the Issuer's shareholders in connection therewith. Mr. Angelo is expected to be involved in reviewing possible transactions involving the Issuer and identifying candidates to serve on the Board. As such, each Reporting Person may be involved in transactions of the sort described in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of this Amendment No.1 to the Schedule 13D. | ||
