Columbus Circle Capital Corp III (CCCT) announced on July 10, 2026 that it completed its initial public offering of 23,000,000 units (including a full 3,000,000-unit over-allotment). Each Unit sold for $10.00 and consists of one Class A ordinary share and one‑third of a redeemable warrant; each whole warrant is exercisable to buy one Class A share for $11.50.

In total, $230,000,000 of proceeds from the IPO and the private placement were deposited into a U.S.-based trust account. The company filed an audited balance sheet as of July 10, 2026 (Exhibit 99.1).

Key Details

• IPO: 23,000,000 units sold at $10.00 per unit; includes full 3,000,000-unit over-allotment.
• Private Placement: 665,000 units sold for $6,650,000 (265,000 to sponsor; 400,000 to underwriters’ reps).
• Security terms: Each Unit = 1 Class A ordinary share + 1/3 warrant; whole warrant exercisable at $11.50 per share.
• Proceeds: $230,000,000 placed in a U.S.-based trust account; audited July 10, 2026 balance sheet filed as Exhibit 99.1.

Why It Matters
This filing confirms CCCT has raised and placed IPO and private placement proceeds in a trust, establishing the capital base that will be used consistent with the company’s stated purpose (e.g., pursuing a business combination). Unit holders now own shares plus warrants (exercise price $11.50), which affects potential future dilution and upside. Investors should note the trust balance and warrant terms when assessing exposure and potential outcomes from any future merger or transaction.
