Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 2, 2025, Lakeshore Acquisition III Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 6,900,000 units (the “Units”), which includes full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option to purchase 900,000 additional Units. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) and one right that entitles the holder thereof to receive one-sixth (1/6) of one Ordinary Share upon consummation of the Company’s initial business combination (“Right”). The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $69,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated a private placement (the “Private Placement”) in which RedOne Investment Limited (the “Sponsor”) purchased 280,000 private units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $2,800,000.

Of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units, $69,000,000 has been deposited into a U.S. based trust account at Wilmington Trust, National Association, with Wilmington Trust, National Association acting as trustee, for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders.

An audited balance sheet as of May 1, 2025 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement is included with this report as Exhibit 99.1.
