Item 8.01. Other Events.

On April 25, 2025, New Providence Acquisition Corp. III (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 30,015,000 units (the “Units”), including 3,915,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-third of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each, a “Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $300,150,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 872,075 units (the “Private Placement Units”). 611,075 Private Placement Units were sold to New Providence Holdings III, LLC, the Company’s sponsor, and 261,000 Private Placement Units were sold to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., the representative of the underwriters in the IPO, in each case at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $8,720,750.

A total of $301,650,750, or $10.05 per Unit, comprised of the net proceeds from the IPO (which amount includes the underwriter’s deferred discount of $12,789,000) and the sale of the Private Placement Units, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.

An audited balance sheet as of April 25, 2025 reflecting the receipt of the proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
