Bleichroeder Acquisition Corp. III 8-K

What Happened
Bleichroeder Acquisition Corp. III announced on July 8, 2026 that it closed its initial public offering of 34,500,000 units (including 4,500,000 units from the underwriters’ full over‑allotment exercise). Each Unit sold at $10.00 consists of one Class A ordinary share and one‑fourth of a redeemable warrant (each whole Warrant exercisable for one Class A share at $11.50). The IPO generated gross proceeds of $345,000,000. Simultaneously the company completed a private sale of 8,500,000 warrants at $1.00 each (gross proceeds $8,500,000), purchased by Bleichroeder Sponsor 3 LLC (5,000,000 warrants) and by Cohen & Company Capital Markets and Clear Street LLC (3,500,000 warrants). The net proceeds from the IPO and the proceeds from the private placement were placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. The company filed an audited balance sheet as of July 8, 2026 as Exhibit 99.1.
