Three Lions Acquisition Corp. Completes IPO and Private Placement

What Happened

• Three Lions Acquisition Corp. filed an 8-K (dated Sept. 10, 2026) reporting that it consummated its initial public offering on Sept. 2, 2026. The IPO sold 10,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit, generating $100,000,000 in gross proceeds. Each unit consists of one ordinary share (par value $0.0001) and one-half warrant.
• Simultaneous with the IPO, the company completed a private placement of 400,000 units at $10.00 per unit, raising $4,000,000. Purchasers included Three Lions Sponsor, LLC (200,000 units), the underwriter EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (100,000 units), and certain third‑party investors (100,000 units).
• As of Sept. 2, 2026, a total of $100,500,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the private placement were deposited in the trust account for the benefit of the company’s public shareholders. The filing includes an audited balance sheet as Exhibit 99.1 reflecting these receipts.

Key Details

• IPO size: 10,000,000 units at $10.00 each = $100,000,000 gross proceeds.
• Private placement: 400,000 units at $10.00 each = $4,000,000 gross proceeds.
• Over-allotment: Underwriter EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. has a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional units at the IPO price.
• Trust deposit: $100,500,000 of net proceeds held in trust as of Sept. 2, 2026; audited balance sheet provided (Exhibit 99.1).

Why It Matters

• The company has completed its SPAC-style fundraising and has cash held in trust to pursue a business combination — this is the primary resource backing public shares and the vehicle’s search for a target.
• Sponsor and underwriter ownership from the private placement establishes initial insider stakes; the underwriter’s over-allotment option could increase public float if exercised.
• Investors should note the units include warrants (one-half warrant per unit), which can affect potential dilution and upside depending on future exercise terms and any completed business combination.
