A SPAC III ACQUISITION CORP.
The Sun’s Group Center, 29th Floor

Wan Chai, Hong Kong
September 28, 2026
Dear Shareholders:
On behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Board”)
of A SPAC III Acquisition Corp. (the “Company,” “ASPC”, “A SPAC III”
or “we”), I invite you to attend our Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders at 10 a.m. Eastern Time
on October 19, 2026 (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”). We hope you can join us and participate by virtual attendance
or in person. ASPC will be holding the Extraordinary General Meeting at the offices of Loeb & Loeb LLP, 345 Park Avenue,
New York, NY 10154, and virtually via https://loeb.zoom.us/j/99332153241.
The Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting of
Shareholders, the Proxy Statement and the proxy card accompanying this letter are also available at https://www.cstproxy.com/aspaciiiacquisition/2026.
We are first mailing these materials to our shareholders on or about September 28, 2026.
As discussed in the enclosed Proxy Statement,
the Extraordinary General Meeting will be devoted to:
(i)
a proposal to amend and
restate (the “Charter Amendment”) the Company’s currently effective
memorandum and articles of association (the “Charter”) to extend the date
by which it has to consummate a business combination (the “Extension”)
for an additional twenty-four months from November 12, 2026 (the “Current
Termination Date”) to November 12, 2028 (the termination date as so extended,
the “Extended Termination Date”) by deleting the Charter in its entirety
and substituting it by the adoption of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of
association in the form set forth in Annex A to the accompanying Proxy Statement (the
“Amended Charter”), subject to registration of it by the Registry of Corporate
Affairs of the British Virgin Islands (we refer to this proposal as the “Charter
Amendment Proposal”); and
(ii)
a proposal to adjourn
the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates for any reason, including but
not limited to, permitting further solicitation and vote of proxies for the Charter Amendment
Proposal (we refer to this proposal as the “Adjournment Proposal”).
The purpose of the Charter Amendment and if necessary,
the Adjournment Proposal, is to allow the Company additional time to effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase,
reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”). Pursuant to the
Company’s current Charter, the Company has until November 12, 2026 (i.e. 24 months from the consummation of our initial public
offering (the “IPO”)) to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). The Company
needs more time to consummate a Business Combination and wants to extend the Combination Period from November 12, 2026 to November 12,
2028. In addition, the Company understands that its sponsor, A SPAC III (Holdings) Corp. (the “Sponsor”), does not
currently plan to contribute any fund to the trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders (the
“Trust Account”) to extend the Company’s Current Termination Date.
As previously announced, the Company has entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement,” and the transactions contemplated
by the Merger Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Bioserica Business Combination”) dated as of May 23,
2025, with (i) Bioserica International Limited 禾素國際有限公司, a British Virgin
Islands business company (“Bioserica”); (ii) A SPAC III Mini Acquisition Corp., a British Virgin Islands
business company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Purchaser”); and (iii) A SPAC III Mini
Sub Acquisition Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, among other things, (i) the Company will be merged with and into the Purchaser, the separate corporate
existence will cease and the Purchaser will continue as the surviving corporation (the “Reincorporation Merger”),
and (ii) the Merger Sub will merge with and into Bioserica and Bioserica will continue as the surviving company under the laws of
the British Virgin Islands and become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Purchaser (the “Acquisition Merger”). Our Board
of Directors has unanimously (i) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the Bioserica Business Combination and
(ii) resolved to recommend approval of the Merger Agreement and related matters by our shareholders. The Company will hold a separate
meeting of shareholders to consider and approve the proposed Bioserica Business Combination and a proxy statement/prospectus will be
sent to all its shareholders.
The Company and other parties to the Merger Agreement
are working towards satisfaction of the conditions to completion of the Bioserica Business Combination, including the necessary filings
with the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission related to the transaction, but
have determined that there may not be sufficient time before November 12, 2026, the Current Termination Date, to consummate the
Bioserica Business Combination. The Company further understands that the Sponsor does not currently plan to contribute any funds to the
Trust Account to extend the Company’s Current Termination Date.
If the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved,
the Company will have the right to extend the Combination Period from November 12, 2026 (i.e., 24 months from the consummation
of the IPO) to November 12, 2028 (i.e., 48 months from the consummation of the IPO). On May 20, 2026, the Company received
a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), which stated that because the stockholders’ equity of
the Company reported on its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 was below the minimum of $2,500,000 stockholders’
equity (the “Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”) required for continued listing pursuant to Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5550(b)(1), the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq’s continued listing rules on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company
has been given an extension of up to November 12, 2026 to regain compliance with Rule 5550(b). In the event that the Company does not
regain compliance on or before November 12, 2026, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its listed securities
will be delisted and at that time, the Company may appeal the determination to a Hearings Panel. Notwithstanding the foregoing compliance
extension granted by Nasdaq through November 12, 2026, Nasdaq rules also require that we complete a Business Combination no later than
36 months after our IPO. While we may be able to appeal a delisting determination by Nasdaq and be granted additional time after the
36th month from our IPO date to complete a Business Combination, we may not be successful in such an appeal. If we are not
successful in such an appeal and fail to complete a Business Combination within the 36 months of our IPO, our securities will be delisted.
If our securities are delisted from Nasdaq, such delisting could make it more difficult to buy or sell the Company’s securities, limit
investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities, impair the ability to obtain accurate quotations, subject us to additional
trading restrictions, and could result in a material decline in the price of the Company’s securities.
On September 22, 2026, the redemption price per
issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share issued in the IPO (“Public Share”) was approximately $10.82 (which is
expected to be the same approximate amount two (2) business days prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting), based on the
aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account of approximately $3.06 million as of September 22, 2026 (including interest not
previously released to the Company to pay its taxes), divided by the total number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares. The closing
price of the Public Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on September 22, 2026 was $10.82. The Company cannot assure shareholders that
they will be able to sell their Public Shares in the open market, even if the market price per Public Share is lower than the redemption
price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such shareholders wish to sell their shares. The
Company believes that such redemption right enables its holders of Public Shares to determine whether to keep their investments for an
additional period of time if the Company does not complete a Business Combination on or before the Current Termination Date.
Subject to the foregoing, the approval of the
Charter Amendment Proposal requires a resolution of members under the BVI Business Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of at least
a majority of the votes cast by such holders of the issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares, no par
value, of the Company (collectively, the “Ordinary Shares”), voting together as a single class, being entitled to
do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
Our Board has determined that it is in the best
interests of our shareholders to allow the Company to extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination for an additional
twenty-four (24) months from November 12, 2026 to November 12, 2028, and provide that the date for cessation of operations
of the Company if the Company has not completed a Business Combination would similarly be extended to the Extended Termination Date.
On the Record Date, the Sponsor beneficially
owned and was entitled to vote an aggregate of 1,785,000 ordinary shares, representing approximately 76.4% of the Company’s issued
and outstanding shares. If the Sponsor votes in favor of the extension (which it has indicated it will do), the Charter Amendment proposal
will be approved. However, if it does not vote as it has indicated and if the Charter Amendment proposal is not approved and we have
not consummated a Business Combination by the Current Termination Date, we will (a) cease all operations except for the purpose
of winding up, (b) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, subject to
lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount
then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest income (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which
interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish
public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject
to applicable law, and (c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining
shareholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under the laws of British Virgin Islands
to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In the event we wind up, there will be no distribution
from the Trust Account with respect to our rights to receive ordinary shares upon the consummation of a Business Combination and the
rights will expire worthless.
The Company wants to allow shareholders to redeem
early, give itself more time to complete a Business Combination, and expects that there will be significant redemptions at the Extraordinary
General Meeting.
You are not being asked to vote on any Business
Combination at this time. The vote by the Company shareholders on a Business Combination will occur at a separate extraordinary general
meeting of the Company shareholders, to be held at a later date, and the solicitation of proxies from the Company shareholders in connection
with such separate Business Combination extraordinary general meeting, and the related right of the Company shareholders to redeem in
connection with a Business Combination (which is a separate right to redeem in addition to the right to redeem in connection with the
Charter Amendment Proposal), will be the subject of a separate proxy statement/prospectus. If the Charter Amendment is implemented and
you do not elect to redeem your Public Shares now, you will retain the right to vote on a Business Combination when it is submitted to
a vote by the shareholders and the right to redeem your Public Shares into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account in the event
a Business Combination is approved and completed (as long as your election is made at least two (2) business days prior to
the meeting at which the shareholders’ vote is sought in connection with a Business Combination) or the Company has not consummated
a Business Combination by the applicable termination date.
In connection with the Charter Amendment, public
shareholders may elect (the “Election”) to redeem their shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the
aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay taxes (less up
to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then
outstanding Public Shares, regardless of whether such public shareholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Charter
Amendment Proposal, and an Election can also be made by public shareholders who do not vote, or do not instruct their broker or bank
how to vote, at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Public shareholders may make an Election regardless of whether such public shareholders
were holders as of the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting (the “Record Date”). If the Charter Amendment
Proposal is approved by the requisite vote of shareholders, the remaining holders of Public Shares will retain their right to redeem
their Public Shares when a Business Combination is submitted to a vote by the shareholders, subject to any limitations set forth in the
Charter Amendment. Each redemption of shares by our public shareholders will decrease the amount in our Trust Account, which held approximately
$3.06 million as of September 22, 2026. In addition, public shareholders who do not make the Election would be entitled to have their
shares redeemed for cash if the Company has not completed a Business Combination by the Extended Termination Date. As of the date of
this Proxy Statement, the Sponsor owns (i) an aggregate of 1,499,900 of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares (the “Sponsor
Class A Shares”), (ii) an aggregate of 100 of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares (the “Sponsor
Class B Shares”, and together with the Sponsor Class A Shares, the “Founder Shares”), and (iii) 285,000 units
purchased by the Sponsor in a private placement which occurred simultaneously with the completion of the IPO (“Private Placement
Units”). If a Business Combination is not completed by the Extended Termination Date, the Founder Shares and the Private Placement
Units held by the Sponsor will become worthless.
To exercise your redemption rights, you must
tender your shares to the Company’s transfer agent at least two (2) business days prior to the Extraordinary General
Meeting (or October 15, 2026). You may tender your shares by either delivering your share certificate to the transfer agent or by delivering
your shares electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system. If you hold
your shares in street name, you will need to instruct your bank, broker, or other nominee to withdraw the shares from your account in
order to exercise your redemption rights.
As of September 22, 2026, there was approximately
$3.06 million in the Trust Account. If the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved and the Company extends the Combination Period to November 12,
2028, the redemption price per share at the meeting for a Business Combination or the Company’s subsequent liquidation, as applicable,
will be approximately $10.82 per share (without taking into account any additional interest, taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest
to pay dissolution expenses). NO ADDITIONAL FUNDS WILL BE DEPOSITED INTO THE TRUST ACCOUNT IF THE CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSAL IS APPROVED.
Our Board has fixed the close of business on
September 22, 2026 as the date for determining the Company’s shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Extraordinary
General Meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of the Company’s ordinary shares on that date are entitled
to have their votes counted at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
We are soliciting proxies so that each shareholder
of record has an opportunity to vote on all matters that are scheduled to come before the shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Whether or not you plan to participate at the Extraordinary General Meeting in person, please take the time now to read the Proxy Statement
and vote by submitting by mail a paper copy of your proxy or vote instructions, so that your shares are represented at the meeting. You
may also revoke your proxy or vote instructions and change your vote at any time prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting. Regardless
of the number of ASPC shares you own, your attendance in person or by proxy is important for quorum purposes and your vote is important
for proper corporate action.
After careful consideration of all relevant
factors, the Board of Directors has determined that each of the proposals is advisable and recommends that you vote or give instruction
to vote “FOR” such proposals.
Enclosed is the Proxy Statement containing detailed
information concerning the Charter Amendment Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Whether or not you plan to participate in
person in the Extraordinary General Meeting, we urge you to read this material carefully and vote your shares. Thank you for your continuing
interest in A SPAC III Acquisition Corp.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
ABOUT THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
Q.
Why am I receiving this Proxy Statement?
A.
The Company is a blank check company formed under the
laws of the British Virgin Islands for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange,
asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one
or more businesses. Like most blank check companies, the Company’s Charter provides
for the return of the proceeds from its initial public offering (the “IPO”)
held in trust to the holders of Class A ordinary shares of the Company sold in the IPO (“Public
Shares”) if there is no qualifying Business Combination(s) consummated on
or before the Current Termination Date.
The Company believes that it is in the best interests of
its shareholders to extend its Combination Period until the Extended Termination Date, if necessary, in order to allow the Company additional
time to complete a Business Combination and is therefore holding this Extraordinary General Meeting. The Company intends to hold a Business
Combination extraordinary general meeting to approve a Business Combination at a future date.
Q.
When and where is the Extraordinary General
Meeting?
A.
The Extraordinary General Meeting will be held on October
19, 2026, at 10 a.m., New York Time at the offices of Loeb & Loeb
LLP, 345 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10154, and virtually via webcast at https://loeb.zoom.us/j/99332153241.
We encourage shareholders to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting virtually.
Q.
How may I participate in the Extraordinary
General Meeting virtually?
A.
If you are a shareholder of record as of the record date
for the Extraordinary General Meeting (the “Record Date”), you should
receive a proxy card from Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”
or the “Trustee”), containing instructions on how to attend the Extraordinary
General Meeting.
You can attend the Extraordinary General Meeting via webcast
by visiting https://loeb.zoom.us/j/99332153241.
If your shares are held in street name, and you would like
to join and not vote, please contact your broker about receiving a proxy to do so. Either way, you must contact Continental for specific
instructions on how to receive the control number. Please allow up to 48 hours prior to the meeting for processing your control
number.
Q.
What are the specific proposals on which I
am being asked to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting?
A.
The Company’s shareholders are being asked to consider
and vote on the following proposals:
●
Proposal No. 1 — Charter
Amendment Proposal — To amend and restate (the “Charter Amendment”)
the Company’s currently effective memorandum and articles of association (the “Charter”)
to extend the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination (the “Extension”)
for an additional twenty-four months from November 12, 2026 (the “Current
Termination Date”) to November 12, 2028 (the termination date as so extended,
the “Extended Termination Date”) by deleting the Charter in its entirety
and substituting it with the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association
in the form set forth in Annex A to the accompanying Proxy Statement, subject
to registration of it by the Registry of Corporate Affairs of the British Virgin Islands.;
●
Proposal No. 2 — Adjournment
Proposal — To approve the adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting
to a later date or dates for any reason, including but not limited to permitting further
solicitation and vote of proxies for the Charter Amendment Proposal.
1
Q.
Are the proposals conditioned on one another?
A.
No, except that approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal
is a condition to the implementation of the Extension.
If the Extension is implemented and one or more the Company’s
shareholders elect to redeem their Public Shares pursuant to the redemption, the Company will remove from the trust account established
for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders (the “Trust Account”) and deliver to the holders of such
redeemed Public Shares an amount equal to the pro rata portion of funds available in the Trust Account with respect to such redeemed
Public Shares, and retain the remainder of the funds in the Trust Account for the Company’s use in connection with consummating
a Business Combination on or before the Extended Termination Date.
On the Record Date, the Sponsor beneficially owned and
was entitled to vote an aggregate of 1,785,000 ordinary shares, representing approximately 76.4% of the Company’s issued and outstanding
shares. If the Sponsor votes in favor of the extension (which it has indicated it will do), the Charter Amendment proposal will be approved.
However, if it does not vote as it has indicated and if the Charter Amendment Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate a Business
Combination by November 12, 2026, we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then remaining
funds in such account to the public shareholders, and our rights will expire worthless.
The initial shareholders waived their rights to participate
in any liquidating distribution with respect to the 1,499,900 Class A ordinary shares and 100 Class B ordinary shares of the Company
they hold (the “Founder Shares”). There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to the Company’s
rights, which will expire worthless in the event the Company dissolves and liquidates the Trust Account.
Q.
Why is the Company proposing the Charter Amendment
Proposal?
A.
As previously disclosed, on May 23, 2025, the Company
entered into the Merger Agreement, by and among the Company, Purchaser, Bioserica, and Merger
Sub. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, among other things, (i) the Company will be merged
with and into the Purchaser, the separate corporate existence will cease and the Purchaser
will continue as the surviving corporation (the “Reincorporation Merger”),
and (ii) the Merger Sub will merge with and into Bioserica and Bioserica will continue
as the surviving company under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and become a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Purchaser (the “Acquisition Merger”).
The purpose of the Charter Amendment Proposal is to provide
the Company with additional time to complete the Bioserica Business Combination. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, we have up to
November 12, 2026 (the “Current Termination Date”) to complete a Business Combination.
Our Board currently believes that there is not sufficient
time before the Current Termination Date to prepare appropriate documentation in connection with the Bioserica Business Combination,
hold a special meeting to seek the shareholders’ approval required for the Bioserica Business Combination and to consummate the
Bioserica Business Combination. Completion of the Bioserica Business Combination is subject to, among other matters, satisfaction of
the closing conditions and approval of the transaction by our shareholders. Our Board believes that in order for our shareholders to
evaluate the Bioserica Business Combination and for us to have time to consummate the Bioserica Business Combination, we need to obtain
the Extension. However, this would be contrary to the interests of our non-redeeming public shareholders who will have substantially
less funds in the Trust Account than if the Extension were not adopted and the Charter Amendment Proposal were not approved.
The approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal is required
for us to extend the date by which we must consummate the Bioserica Business Combination. Approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal
is a condition to the Extension.
You are not being asked to vote on a Business Combination
at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The vote by the Company shareholders on a Business Combination will occur at a separate extraordinary
general meeting of the Company shareholders, to be held at a later date, and the solicitation of proxies from the Company shareholders
in connection with such separate Business Combination Extraordinary General Meeting, and the related right of the Company shareholders
to redeem in connection with a Business Combination (which is a separate right to redeem in addition to the right to redeem in connection
with the Charter Amendment Proposal), will be the subject of a separate proxy statement/prospectus. If you want to ensure your Public
Shares are redeemed in the event the Charter Amendment Proposal is implemented, you should elect to “redeem” your Public
Shares in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting.
On the Record Date, the Sponsor beneficially owned and
was entitled to vote an aggregate of 1,785,000 ordinary shares, representing approximately 76.4% of the Company’s issued and outstanding
shares. If the Sponsor votes in favor of the extension (which it has indicated it will do), the Charter Amendment proposal will be approved.
However, if it does not vote as it has indicated and if the Charter Amendment Proposal is not approved by the Company’s shareholders,
the Company may put the Adjournment Proposal to a vote in order to seek additional time to obtain sufficient votes for the Charter Amendment
Proposal. If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Board may not be able to adjourn the Extraordinary
General Meeting to a later date or dates in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval
of the Charter Amendment Proposal.
2
Q.
What vote is required to approve the proposals
presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting?
A.
The approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal requires
a resolution of members under the BVI Business Companies Act (as revised) and the Charter,
being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by issued and outstanding
Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares, no par value, of the Company (collectively,
the “Ordinary Shares”), voting together as a single class, voting in person
or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof. A shareholder’s
failure to vote by proxy or to vote herself/himself/itself at the Extraordinary General Meeting
will not be counted towards the number of Ordinary Shares required to validly establish a
quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, such failure to vote, abstentions
and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the proposal. The presence,
by oneself or by proxy, at the Extraordinary General Meeting of the holders of issued and
outstanding Ordinary Shares representing a majority of the voting power of all issued and
outstanding Ordinary Shares voting together as a single class, entitled to vote as of the
Record Date at the Extraordinary General Meeting shall constitute a quorum for the vote on
the Charter Amendment Proposal.
Q.
Why should I vote “FOR” the
Charter Amendment Proposal?
A.
The Company believes its shareholders will benefit from
the Company consummating a Business Combination and is proposing the Charter Amendment Proposal
to extend the time the Company has to complete a Business Combination until the Extended
Termination Date.
Q.
Why should I vote “FOR” the
Adjournment Proposal?
A.
If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by the Company
shareholders, the Board may not be able to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a
later date or dates in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of the
Charter Amendment Proposal.
If presented, the Board unanimously recommends that you
vote in favor of the Adjournment Proposal.
Q.
How will the initial shareholders vote?
A.
The Initial Shareholders have advised the Company that
they intend to vote any Public Shares and Founder Shares over which they have voting control,
in favor of the Charter Amendment Proposal and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal.
The Initial Shareholders and their respective affiliates
are not entitled to redeem any Founder Shares in connection with the Charter Amendment Proposal. On the Record Date, the Sponsor beneficially
owned and was entitled to vote an aggregate of 1,785,000 ordinary shares, representing approximately 76.4% of the Company’s issued
and outstanding shares.
Q.
What if I do not want to vote “FOR”
the Charter Amendment Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal?
A.
If you do not want the Charter Amendment Proposal or
the Adjournment Proposal to be approved, you may “ABSTAIN”, not vote, or vote
“AGAINST” such proposal.
If you fail to vote by proxy or to vote yourself at the
Extraordinary General Meeting, your shares will not be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established
and, if a valid quorum is otherwise established, such failure to vote will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Charter Amendment
Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.
If you vote to “ABSTAIN” or if you do not provide
instructions with your proxy card to your broker, bank or nominee, such abstentions (but not broker non-votes) will be counted in connection
with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established and will have no effect on the outcome of the Charter Amendment Proposal.
If the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved, the Adjournment
Proposal will not be presented for a vote.
3
Q.
What happens if the Charter Amendment Proposal
is not approved?
A.
On the Record Date, the Sponsor beneficially owned and
was entitled to vote an aggregate of 1,785,000 ordinary shares, representing approximately
76.4% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares. If the Sponsor votes in favor
of the extension (which it has indicated it will do), the Charter Amendment proposal will
be approved. However, if it does not vote as it has indicated and if the Charter Amendment
Proposal is not approved, and we have not consummated a Business Combination by the Current
Termination Date, we will (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding
up, (b) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days
thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the Public Shares, at a
per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the
Trust Account, including interest, including interest not previously released to the Company
to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest
shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares,
which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders
(including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable
law, and (c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to
the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject
in each case to our obligations under the laws of British Virgin Islands to provide for claims
of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no distribution
from the Trust Account with respect to our rights, which will expire worthless in the event
we wind up.
The Sponsor and the officers, directors, and the initial
shareholders of the Company waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to the 1,500,000 Founder
Shares. There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to the Company’s rights, which will expire worthless
in the event the Company dissolves and liquidates the Trust Account.
Q.
If the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved,
what happens next?
A.
If the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved, the Company
will continue to attempt to consummate a Business Combination until the Extended Termination
Date. The Company will file the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association
with the British Virgin Islands’ Registry of Corporate Affairs in substantially the
form that appears in Annex A hereto and will continue its efforts to obtain the required
shareholders’ approval for a Business Combination at an extraordinary general meeting
at a later date, and consummate a Business Combination on or before the Extended Termination
Date. However, Nasdaq rules also require that we complete a Business Combination no later
than 36 months after our IPO. While we may be able to appeal a delisting determination by
Nasdaq and be granted additional time after the 36th month from our IPO date to complete
a Business Combination, we may not be successful in such an appeal. If we are not successful
in such an appeal and we fail to complete a Business Combination within the 36 months of
our IPO, our securities will be delisted. Furthermore, on May 20, 2026, the Company received
a letter from Nasdaq, which stated that because the stockholders’ equity of the Company
reported on its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 was below the Minimum
Stockholders’ Equity Requirement required for continued listing pursuant to Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq’s continued listing
rules on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company has been given an extension of up to November
12, 2026 to regain compliance with Rule 5550(b). In the event that the Company does not regain
compliance on or before November 12, 2026, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the
Company that its listed securities will be delisted and at that time, the Company may appeal
the determination to a Hearings Panel. If our securities are delisted from Nasdaq, such delisting
could make it more difficult to buy or sell the Company’s securities, limit investors’
ability to make transactions in our securities, impair the ability to obtain accurate quotations,
subject us to additional trading restrictions, and could result in a material decline in
the price of the Company’s securities. MOREOVER, NO ADDITIONAL FUNDS WILL BE DEPOSITED INTO
THE TRUST ACCOUNT IF THE CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSAL IS APPROVED.
If the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved and the Extension
is implemented, the removal from the Trust Account of the amount equal to the pro rata portion of funds available in the Trust Account
with respect to such redeemed Public Shares will reduce the amount remaining in the Trust Account and increase the percentage interest
of the Company held by the Company’s officers, directors, the Sponsor and its affiliates.
Q.
Am I able to exercise my redemption rights
in connection with a Business Combination?
A.
If you do not choose to exercise redemption rights in
connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, you may choose to exercise redemption
rights in connection with a Business Combination if you are a holder of ordinary shares as
of the close of business on the record date for a Business Combination extraordinary general
meeting, and you will be able to vote to approve a Business Combination in a Business Combination
extraordinary general meeting, to be held at a later date. The Extraordinary General Meeting
relating to the Charter Amendment Proposal does not affect your right to elect to redeem
your Public Shares in connection with a Business Combination, subject to any limitations
set forth in the then Charter (including the requirement to submit any request for redemption
in connection with a Business Combination on or before the date that is two (2) business days
before the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company shareholders to vote on a Business
Combination).
4
Q.
Do I need to request that my shares be
redeemed regardless of whether I vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the
Charter Amendment Proposal?
A.
Yes. Whether you vote “FOR” or “AGAINST”
the Charter Amendment Proposal, you may elect to redeem your shares. However, you will need
to submit a redemption request for your Public Shares. See “How do I exercise
my redemption rights?” below.
Q.
May I change my vote after I have
mailed my signed proxy card?
A.
Yes. If you have submitted a proxy to vote your shares
and wish to change your vote, you may change your vote by:
●
entering a new vote
by Internet or telephone;
●
for registered shareholders,
sending a later-dated, signed proxy card addressed to the Company’s transfer agent:
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street, 30th Floor New
York, NY 10004, Attn: SPAC Redemption Team, prior to the date of the Extraordinary General
Meeting so that it is received on or before the Extraordinary General Meeting; or
●
attending and voting,
in person or virtually via the Internet, during the Extraordinary General Meeting.
If you hold your Public Shares through a bank, brokerage
firm or nominee, you should follow the instructions of your bank, brokerage firm or nominee regarding the revocation of proxies. You
also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to the Company’s CEO at A SPAC III Acquisition Corp., The Sun’s
Group Center, 29th Floor, 200 Gloucester Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, which must be received by the Company’s CEO
on or before the Extraordinary General Meeting. Attending the Extraordinary General Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy
to be revoked unless you specifically so request.
Q.
If my shares are held in “street name,”
will my broker, bank, or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?
A.
No. Under the rules of various national and
regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares with
respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote
in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or
nominee. The Company believes that the Charter Amendment Proposal presented to the shareholders
at this Extraordinary General Meeting will be considered non-discretionary and, therefore,
your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction on the Charter
Amendment Proposal presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you do not provide
instructions with your proxy card, your broker, bank, or other nominee may deliver a proxy
card expressly indicating that it is NOT voting your shares. This indication that a broker,
bank, or nominee is not voting your shares is referred to as a “broker non-vote.”
Broker non-votes will not be counted for the purposes of determining the existence of
a quorum. Your bank, broker or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions
on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions
you provide. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the
Charter Amendment Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal.
Q.
What constitutes a quorum at the Extraordinary
General Meeting?
A.
A quorum is the minimum number of the Company shareholders
necessary to hold a valid meeting.
One or more shareholders who together hold not less than
a majority of the issued and outstanding shares in the Company entitled to attend and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting being
individuals present in person or by proxy or if a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorized representative
or proxy shall be a quorum.
Q.
How do I vote?
A.
If you were a holder of record of Class A ordinary shares
or Founder Shares on September 22, 2026, the Record Date, you may vote with respect to the
proposals yourself at the Extraordinary General Meeting, or by completing, signing, dating,
and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.
Voting by Mail. By signing the proxy card and returning
it in the enclosed prepaid and addressed envelope, you are authorizing the individuals named on the proxy card to vote your shares at
the Extraordinary General Meeting in the manner you indicate. You are encouraged to sign and return the proxy card even if you plan to
attend the Extraordinary General Meeting so that your shares will be voted if you are unable to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting.
If you receive more than one proxy card, it is an indication that your shares are held in multiple accounts. Please sign and return all
proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted. Votes submitted by mail must be received by 11:59 p.m., New York Time,
on October 18, 2026.
Voting by Internet. Shareholders who have received
a copy of the proxy card by mail may be able to vote over the Internet by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/aspaciiiacquisition/2026 and
entering the voter control number included on your proxy card.

Q.
Does the Board recommend voting “FOR”
the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal?
A.
Yes. After careful consideration of the terms and conditions
of the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, the Board has determined
that the each of the foregoing proposals is in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders. The Board unanimously recommends that the Company shareholders vote “FOR”
the Charter Amendment Proposal, and if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal.
Q.
What interests do the Company’s directors
and officers have in the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal?
A.
The Company’s directors and officers have interests
in the Charter Amendment Proposal that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests
as a shareholder. These interests include, among others, ownership, directly or indirectly
through the Sponsor, of Public Shares, Founder Shares, and Private Placement Units. See the
section entitled “Proposal 1. The Charter Amendment Proposal — Interests
of Certain Persons in the Charter Amendment and the Consummation of a Business Combination”
in this Proxy Statement.
Q.
Do I have appraisal rights or dissenters’
rights if I object to the Charter Amendment Proposal?
A.
No. There are no appraisal rights available to the
Company shareholders in connection with the Charter Amendment Proposal.
Q.
If I own a public right, can I exercise
redemption rights with respect to my public rights?
A.
No. The holders of public rights issued in connection
with the IPO (one right was included in the units sold in the IPO) with each right to receive
one-tenth of one Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of a Business Combination
have no redemption rights with respect to such public rights.
Q.
If I am a public unit holder, can I
exercise redemption rights with respect to my public units?
A.
No. Holders of outstanding public units sold in
the IPO must separate the underlying Public Shares and public rights prior to exercising
redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares.
If you hold public units registered in your own name,
you must deliver the certificate for such public units to the Trustee with written instructions to separate such public units into
Public Shares and public rights. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the Public Share certificates
back to you so that you may then exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the Public Shares from the public units. See
“How do I exercise my redemption rights?” below. The address of the Trustee is listed under the question “Who
can help answer my questions?” below.
If a broker, dealer, commercial bank,
trust company or other nominee holds your public units, you must instruct such nominee to separate your public units. Your nominee must
send written instructions by facsimile to the Trustee. Such written instructions must include the number of public units to be split
and the nominee holding such public units. Your nominee must also initiate electronically, using DTC’s DWAC system, a withdrawal
of the relevant public units and a deposit of an equal number of Public Shares and public rights. This must be completed far enough
in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the Public Shares from the public units.
While this is typically done electronically the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish
the separation. If you fail to cause your Public Shares to be separated in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your
redemption rights.
Q.
What do I need to do now?
A.
You should read carefully and consider the information
contained in this Proxy Statement, including Annex A, and consider how the Charter Amendment
Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will affect you as a shareholder. You should then vote
as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this Proxy Statement
and on the enclosed proxy card or, if you hold your shares through a brokerage firm, bank,
or other nominee, on the voting instruction form provided by the broker, bank, or nominee.
Q.
How do I exercise my redemption rights?
A.
In connection with the Charter Amendment Proposal, and
contingent upon the effectiveness of the implementation of the Extension, the Company shareholders
may seek to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the
funds available in the Trust Account at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to
the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two (2) business days
prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting, including interest not previously released to
the Company to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and
which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding
Public Shares, subject to the limitations described in the final prospectus dated November 8,
2024, filed in connection with the IPO.

In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must,
prior to 5:00 p.m. New York Time on October 15, 2026 (two (2) business days before the Extraordinary General
Meeting), (i) submit a written request to the Trustee, that the Company redeem your Public Shares for cash, and (ii) deliver
your shares to the Trustee physically or electronically through DTC. The address of the Company’s transfer agent is listed
under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below. The Company requests that any requests for redemption
include the identity as to the beneficial owner making such request. Electronic delivery of your shares generally will be faster than
delivery of physical share certificates.
A physical share certificate will not be needed if your
shares are delivered to the Company’s transfer agent electronically. In order to obtain a physical share certificate, a shareholder’s
broker and/or clearing broker, DTC, and the Company’s transfer agent will need to act to facilitate the request. It is the Company’s
understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least one week to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However,
because the Company does not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, it may take significantly longer than one
week to obtain a physical share certificate. If it takes longer than anticipated to obtain a physical certificate, shareholders who wish
to redeem their shares may be unable to obtain physical certificates by the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus
will be unable to redeem their shares.
Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn
at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with the Company’s consent, until the vote is
taken with respect to the matters presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you delivered your shares for redemption to the
Trustee and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that the Trustee return the
shares (physically or electronically). Such requests may be made by contacting the Trustee at the phone number or address listed under
the question “Who can help answer my questions?”
The Company’s shareholders seeking to exercise their
redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name” are required to either tender their
certificates to the transfer agent prior to the date set forth in this Proxy Statement, or up to two (2) business days prior
to the vote on the proposal to approve the Charter Amendment at the Extraordinary General Meeting, or to deliver their shares to the
transfer agent electronically using the DTC’s DWAC system, at such shareholder’s option. The requirement for physical or
electronic delivery prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting ensures that a redeeming shareholder’s election to redeem is irrevocable
once the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved.
There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering
process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge
a tendering broker a fee and it is in the broker’s discretion whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder.
However, this fee would be incurred regardless of whether or not shareholders seeking to exercise redemption rights are required to tender
their shares, as the need to deliver shares is a requirement to exercising redemption rights, regardless of the timing of when such delivery
must be effectuated.
Q.
What should I do if I receive more
than one (1) set of voting materials for the Extraordinary General Meeting?
A.
You may receive more than one set of voting materials
for the Extraordinary General Meeting, including multiple copies of this Proxy Statement
and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares
in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for
each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares
are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete,
sign, date, and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order
to cast your vote with respect to all of your shares.
Separate voting materials will be mailed
to the Company shareholders for a Business Combination Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on a later date.
Q.
Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting
proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting?
A.
The Company will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for
the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Company has engaged Advantage Proxy, Inc. to
assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Company
will also reimburse banks, brokers, and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries representing
beneficial owners of ordinary shares for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials
to beneficial owners of ordinary shares and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners.
The directors, officers, and employees of the Company may also solicit proxies by telephone,
by facsimile, by mail, or on the Internet. They will not be paid any additional amounts for
soliciting proxies.

PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD OCTOBER 19, 2026
FIRST MAILED ON OR ABOUT SEPTEMBER 28, 2026
Date, Time, and Place of the Extraordinary General Meeting
The enclosed proxy is solicited by the Board
of Directors (the “Board”) of A SPAC III Acquisition Corp. (the “Company,” “ASPC,”
“A SPAC III” or “we”), a British Virgin Islands business company, in connection with the Extraordinary
General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on October 19, 2026, at 10 a.m. Eastern Time for the purposes set forth in the accompanying
Notice of Meeting. The Extraordinary General Meeting, and any adjournments thereof, will be held at the offices of Loeb & Loeb
LLP, 345 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10154, and virtually via https://loeb.zoom.us/j/99332153241.
The principal executive office of the Company
is The Sun’s Group Center, 29th Floor, 200 Gloucester Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, and its telephone number, including
area code is +1 702 287 9776.
Purpose of the Extraordinary General Meeting
At the Extraordinary General Meeting, you will
be asked to consider and vote upon the following matters:
1.
A proposal to amend and
restate (the “Charter Amendment”) the Company’s currently effective
memorandum and articles of association (the “Charter”) to extend the date
by which it has to consummate a Business Combination (the “Extension”)
for an additional twenty-four months from November 12, 2026 (the “Current
Termination Date”) to November 12, 2028 (the termination date as so extended,
the “Extended Termination Date”) by deleting the Charter in its entirety
and substituting it with the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association
in the form set forth in Annex A to the accompanying Proxy Statement, subject
to registration of it by the Registry of Corporate Affairs of the British Virgin Islands.
2.
A proposal to adjourn
the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates for any reason, including but
not limited to permitting further solicitation and vote of proxies for the Charter Amendment
Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”).
The purpose of the Charter Amendment and if necessary,
the Adjournment Proposal, is to allow the Company additional time to complete a Business Combination. Pursuant to the Company’s
current Charter, the Company has until November 12, 2026 (i.e. 24 months from the consummation of our initial public offering (the “IPO”))
to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). The Company believes that there will not be sufficient
time to consummate a Business Combination before the Current Termination Date of November 12, 2026 The Company needs more time to consummate
a Business Combination and wants to extend the Combination Period from November 12, 2026 to November 12, 2028. In addition, the Company
understands that its sponsor, A SPAC III (Holdings) Corp. (the “Sponsor”), does not currently plan to contribute any
fund to the trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders (the “Trust Account”)
to extend the Company’s Current Termination Date.
As previously announced, the Company has entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement,” and the transactions contemplated
by the Merger Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Bioserica Business Combination”) dated as of May 23,
2025, with (i) Bioserica International Limited 禾素國際有限公司, a British Virgin
Islands business company (“Bioserica”); (ii) A SPAC III Mini Acquisition Corp., a British Virgin Islands
business company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Purchaser”); and (iii) A SPAC III Mini
Sub Acquisition Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, among other things, (i) the Company will be merged with and into the Purchaser, the separate corporate
existence will cease and the Purchaser will continue as the surviving corporation (the “Reincorporation Merger”),
and (ii) the Merger Sub will merge with and into Bioserica and Bioserica will continue as the surviving company under the laws of
the British Virgin Islands and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser (the “Acquisition Merger”).
Our Board of Directors has unanimously (i) approved
and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the Bioserica Business Combination and (ii) resolved to recommend approval of the
Merger Agreement and related matters by our shareholders. We will hold a separate meeting of shareholders at a later date to consider
and approve the proposed Bioserica Business Combination and a separate proxy statement/prospectus in relation thereto will be sent to
all our shareholders.
The Company and other parties to the Merger Agreement
are working towards satisfaction of the conditions to complete the Bioserica Business Combination, including the necessary filings with
the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission related to the transaction, but have
determined that there may not be sufficient time before November 12, 2026, the Current Termination Date, to consummate, the Bioserica
Business Combination. The Company further understands that the Sponsor does not currently plan to contribute any funds to the Trust Account
to extend the Company’s Current Termination Date.

If the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved,
the Company will have the right to extend the Combination Period from November 12, 2026 (i.e., 24 months from the consummation
of the IPO) to November 12, 2028 (i.e., 48 months from the consummation of the IPO). However, On May 20, 2026, the Company
received a letter from Nasdaq, which stated that because the stockholders’ equity of the Company reported on its Form 10-Q for
the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 was below the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement required for continued listing pursuant
to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq’s continued listing rules on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
The Company has been given an extension of up to November 12, 2026 to regain compliance with Rule 5550(b). In the event that the Company
does not regain compliance on or before November 12, 2026, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its listed securities
will be delisted and at that time, the Company may appeal the determination to a Hearings Panel. Notwithstanding the foregoing compliance
extension granted by Nasdaq through November 12, 2026, Nasdaq rules require that we complete a Business Combination no later than 36
months after our IPO. While we may be able to appeal a delisting determination by Nasdaq and be granted additional time after the 36th
month from our IPO date to complete a Business Combination, we may not be successful in such an appeal. If we are not successful in such
an appeal and fail to complete a Business Combination within the 36 months of our IPO, our securities will be delisted. If our securities
are delisted from Nasdaq, such delisting could make it more difficult to buy or sell the Company’s securities, limit investors’
ability to make transactions in our securities, impair the ability to obtain accurate quotations, subject us to additional trading restrictions,
and could result in a material decline in the price of the Company’s securities.
On September 22, 2026, the redemption price per
issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share issued in the IPO (“Public Share”) was approximately $10.82 (which is
expected to be the same approximate amount two (2) business days prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting), based on the
aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account of approximately $3.06 million as of September 22, 2026 (including interest not
previously released to the Company to pay its taxes), divided by the total number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares. The closing
price of the Public Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on September 22, 2026 was $10.82. The Company cannot assure shareholders that
they will be able to sell their Public Shares in the open market, even if the market price per Public Share is lower than the redemption
price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such shareholders wish to sell their shares. The
Company believes that such redemption right enables its holders of Public Shares to determine whether to keep their investments for an
additional period of time if the Company does not complete a Business Combination on or before the Current Termination Date.
Subject to the foregoing, the approval of the
Charter Amendment Proposal requires a resolution of members under the BVI Business Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of at least
a majority of the votes cast by such holders of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, voting together as a single class as, being
entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
Our Board has determined that it is in the best
interests of our shareholders to allow the Company to extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination for an additional
twenty-four (24) months from November 12, 2026 to November 12, 2028, and provide that the date for cessation of operations
of the Company if the Company has not completed a Business Combination would similarly be extended to the Extended Termination Date.
On the Record Date, the Sponsor beneficially
owned and was entitled to vote an aggregate of 1,785,000 ordinary shares, representing approximately 76.4% of the Company’s issued
and outstanding shares. If the Sponsor votes in favor of the extension (which it has indicated it will do), the Charter Amendment proposal
will be approved. However, if it does not vote as it has indicated and if the Charter Amendment Proposal is not approved and we have
not consummated a Business Combination by the Current Termination Date, we will (a) cease all operations except for the purpose
of winding up, (b) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, subject to
lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount
then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of
interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public
Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive
further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such
redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our
obligations under the laws of British Virgin Islands to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
In the event we wind up, there will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to our rights to receive ordinary shares upon
the consummation of a Business Combination and the rights will expire worthless.
The Company wants to allow shareholders to redeem
early, give itself more time to complete a Business Combination, and expects that there will be significant redemptions at the Extraordinary
General Meeting.
Voting Rights and Revocation of Proxies
The record date with respect to this solicitation
is the close of business on September 22, 2026 (the “Record Date”) and only shareholders of record on that day
will be entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournments thereof.
Holders of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and Class B
ordinary shares, no par value, of the Company (collectively, “Ordinary Shares”) will vote together as a single class,
with each share entitling the holder thereof to one vote. The Company’s Ordinary Shares represented by all validly executed proxies
received in time to be taken to the meeting and not previously revoked will be voted at the meeting. The proxy may be revoked by the
shareholders at any time prior to its being voted by filing with the Secretary of the Company either by a notice of revocation or a duly
executed proxy bearing a later date. We intend to mail or otherwise release this Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card to our shareholders
on or about September 28, 2026.

Dissenters’ Right of Appraisal
Holders of Ordinary Shares do not have appraisal
rights under the laws of British Virgin Islands or under the governing documents of the Company in connection with this solicitation.
Outstanding Shares and Quorum
The number of outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled
to vote at the meeting is 2,337,581. Each Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote. The presence by proxy or attendance, in person or virtually,
at the Extraordinary General Meeting of the holders of not less than 50 percent of the votes of the Ordinary Shares entitled to
vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting will constitute a quorum. There is no cumulative voting. Shares that abstain or for which the
authority to vote is withheld on certain matters (so-called “broker non-votes”) will be treated as present for quorum
purposes on all matters.
Broker Non-Votes
Holders of Ordinary Shares that are held in street
name must instruct their bank or brokerage firm that holds their shares how to vote their shares. If a shareholder does not give instructions
to his or her bank or brokerage firm, it will nevertheless be entitled to vote the shares with respect to “routine” items,
but it will not be permitted to vote the shares with respect to “non-routine” items. In the case of a non-routine item, such
shares will be considered “broker non-votes” on that proposal.
Proposal 1 (Charter Amendment) is a matter
that we believe will be considered “non-routine.”
Proposal 2 (Adjournment) is a matter that
we believe will be considered “routine.”
Banks or brokerages cannot use discretionary
authority to vote shares on Proposal 1 if they have not received instructions from their clients. Please submit your vote instruction
form so your vote is counted.
Required Votes for Each Proposal to Pass
Assuming the presence of a quorum at the Extraordinary
General Meeting:
Proposal

Voting Procedures
Each Ordinary Share that you own in your name
entitles you to one (1) vote on each of the proposals for the Extraordinary General Meeting. Your proxy card shows the number of
Ordinary Shares that you own.
You can vote your shares in advance of the Extraordinary
General Meeting by completing, signing, dating, and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you hold
your shares in “street name” through a broker, bank, or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided
to you by your broker, bank, or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on
the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your Ordinary Shares will
be voted as recommended by our Board. Our Board recommends voting “FOR” each of the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment
Proposal.
You can participate in the Extraordinary General
Meeting and vote in person physically or by virtual attendance even if you have previously voted by submitting a proxy. However, if your
Ordinary Shares are held in the name of your broker, bank, or other nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank, or other nominee.
That is the only way we can be sure that the broker, bank, or nominee has not already voted your Ordinary Shares.
Solicitation of Proxies
Your proxy is being solicited by our Board on
the proposals being presented to shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Company has engaged Advantage Proxy to assist
in the solicitation of proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Company has agreed to pay Advantage Proxy its customary fee
and out-of-pocket expenses. The Company will reimburse Advantage Proxy for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Advantage
Proxy and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses. In addition to these mailed proxy materials,
our directors and officers may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. These parties will not
be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks, and other agents for the cost
of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners. You may contact Advantage Proxy at:
The cost of preparing, assembling, printing,
and mailing this Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy, and the cost of soliciting proxies relating to the Extraordinary
General Meeting, will be borne by the Company.
Some banks and brokers have customers who beneficially
own ordinary shares listed of record in the names of nominees. We intend to request banks and brokers to solicit such customers and will
reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for such solicitations. If any additional solicitation of the holders of our
outstanding Ordinary Shares is deemed necessary, we (through our directors and officers) anticipate making such solicitation directly.
Delivery of Proxy Materials to Shareholders
Only one copy of this Proxy Statement will be
delivered to an address where two or more shareholders reside with the same last name or whom otherwise reasonably appear to be members
of the same family based on the shareholders’ prior express or implied consent.
We will deliver promptly upon written or oral
request a separate copy of this Proxy Statement. If you share an address with at least one other shareholder, currently receive one copy
of our Proxy Statement at your residence, and would like to receive a separate copy of Proxy Statement for future shareholder meetings
of the Company, please specify such request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company for registered shareholders and if your
shares are held in a brokerage account the request should go to your brokerage firm.
If you share an address with at least one other
shareholder and currently receive multiple copies of Proxy Statement, and you would like to receive a single copy of Proxy Statement,
please specify such request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company for registered shareholders and if your shares are held
in a brokerage account the request should go to your brokerage firm.
Redemption
Rights
Pursuant to our Charter, any holders of our Public
Shares may demand that such shares be redeemed for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, less
taxes payable, calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting. Regardless whether you vote for
or against the Charter Amendment Proposal, if your request is properly made and the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved, these shares
will cease to be outstanding and will represent only the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in
the Trust Account which holds the proceeds of our IPO (calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the Extraordinary General
Meeting). For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $3.06 million on September 22, 2026, the estimated
per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.82.
12
In order to exercise your redemption rights,
you must:
submit a request in writing prior to 5:00 p.m.,
Eastern Time on October 15, 2026 (two (2) business days before the Extraordinary General Meeting) that we convert your Public
Shares for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, at the following address:
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
1 State Street, 30th Floor
New York, NY 10004
Attn: SPAC Redemption Team
E-mail: [email protected]
and,
●
deliver your Public
Shares either physically or electronically through DTC to our transfer agent at least two
(2) business days before the Extraordinary General Meeting. Shareholders seeking
to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot
sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent and time to effect
delivery. It is our understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two (2) weeks
to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, we do not have any control
over this process and it may take longer than two (2) weeks.
Shareholders who hold their shares in street name will have
to coordinate with their broker, bank, or nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. If you do not submit a
written request and deliver your Public Shares as described above, your shares will not be redeemed.
Any demand for redemption, once made, may be
withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests (and submitting shares to the transfer agent) and thereafter,
with our consent, until the vote is taken with respect to the Charter Amendment Proposal. If you delivered your shares for redemption
to our transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that our transfer
agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the phone number
or address listed above.
If you exercise your redemption rights, your
Ordinary Shares will cease to be outstanding immediately prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting (assuming the Charter Amendment Proposal
is approved) and will only represent the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account.
You will no longer own those shares and will have no right to participate in, or have any interest in, the future growth of the Company,
if any. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly and timely request redemption.
On the Record Date, the Sponsor beneficially
owned and was entitled to vote an aggregate of 1,785,000 ordinary shares, representing approximately 76.4% of the Company’s issued
and outstanding shares. If the Sponsor votes in favor of the extension (which it has indicated it will do), the Charter Amendment proposal
will be approved. However, if it does not vote as it has indicated and if the Charter Amendment Proposal is not approved and we do not
consummate a Business Combination by the Current Termination Date, we may be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by
returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public shareholders and our rights to receive ordinary shares upon the consummation
of a Business Combination and the rights will expire worthless.
Holders of outstanding units must separate
the underlying Public Shares and public rights prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares.
If you hold units registered in your own
name, you must deliver the certificate for such units to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company with written instructions
to separate such units into Public Shares and public rights. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing
of the Public Share certificates back to you so that you may then exercise your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares upon
the separation of the Public Shares from the units.
If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company,
or other nominee holds your units, you must instruct such nominee to separate your units. Your nominee must send written instructions
to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Such written instructions must include the number of units to be split and
the nominee holding such units. Your nominee must also initiate electronically, using DTC’s deposit withdrawal at custodian
(DWAC) system, a withdrawal of the relevant units and a deposit of an equal number of Public Shares and public rights. This must
be completed far enough in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares upon the
separation of the Public Shares from the units. While this is typically done electronically the same business day, you should
allow at least one (1) full business day to accomplish the separation. If you fail to cause your Public Shares to be separated
in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your redemption rights.

PROPOSAL 1: THE CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSAL
The proposed Charter Amendment would amend and
restate our existing Charter to extend the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination (the “Extension”)
for an additional twenty-four months from November 12, 2026 (the “Current Termination Date”) to November 12,
2028 (the termination date as so extended, the “Extended Termination Date”) by deleting the existing Charter in its
entirety and substitute it by the adoption of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association in the form set forth in
Annex A to the accompanying Proxy Statement, subject to registration of it by the Registry of Corporate Affairs of the British Virgin
Islands. Under the current Charter, the Company has until November 12, 2026 (i.e. 24 months from the consummation of the Company’s
IPO) to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). Pursuant to the terms of the proposed Charter Amendment,
the Company will have the right to extend the Combination Period from November 12, 2026 (i.e., 24 months from the consummation
of the IPO) to November 12, 2028 (i.e., 48 months from the consummation of the IPO). However, no additional funds will be deposited
into the Trust Account if the proposed Charter Amendment is approved. The complete text of the proposed amendment is attached to this
Proxy Statement as Annex A. All shareholders are encouraged to read the proposed amendment in its entirety for a more
complete description of its terms.
Reasons for the Proposed Charter Amendment
The purpose of the Charter Amendment and if necessary,
the Adjournment Proposal, is to allow the Company additional time to complete a Business Combination. Pursuant to the Company’s
current Charter, the Company has until November 12, 2026 (i.e. 24 months from the consummation of our IPO) to complete a Business Combination.
The Company believes that there will not be sufficient time to consummate a Business Combination before the Current Termination Date
of November 12, 2026. The Company needs more time to consummate a Business Combination and wants to extend the Combination Period from
November 12, 2026 to November 12, 2028. In addition, the Company understands that its sponsor, A SPAC III (Holdings) Corp. (the “Sponsor”),
does not currently plan to contribute any fund to the trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders
(the “Trust Account”) to extend the Company’s Current Termination Date.
As previously announced, the Company has entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement,” and the transactions contemplated
by the Merger Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Bioserica Business Combination”) dated as of May 23,
2025, with (i) Bioserica International Limited 禾素國際有限公司, a British Virgin
Islands business company (“Bioserica”); (ii) A SPAC III Mini Acquisition Corp., a British Virgin Islands
business company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Purchaser”); and (iii) A SPAC III Mini
Sub Acquisition Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, among other things, (i) the Company will be merged with and into the Purchaser, the separate corporate
existence will cease and the Purchaser will continue as the surviving corporation (the “Reincorporation Merger”),
and (ii) the Merger Sub will merge with and into Bioserica and Bioserica will continue as the surviving company under the laws of
the British Virgin Islands and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser (the “Acquisition Merger”). Our Board
of Directors has unanimously (i) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the Bioserica Business Combination and
(ii) resolved to recommend approval of the Merger Agreement and related matters by our shareholders. We will hold a separate meeting
of shareholders to consider and approve the proposed Bioserica Business Combination and a separate proxy statement/prospectus in relation
thereto will be sent to all our shareholders. The Company and other parties to the Merger Agreement are working towards satisfaction
of the conditions to completion of the Bioserica Business Combination, including the necessary filings with the China Securities Regulatory
Commission and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission related to the transaction, but have determined that there may not be sufficient
time before November 12, 2026, the Current Termination Date, to consummate, the Bioserica Business Combination. The Company further
understands that the Sponsor does not currently plan to contribute any funds to the Trust Account to extend the Company’s Current
Termination Date.
15
If the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved,
the Company will have the right to extend the Combination Period from November 12, 2026 (i.e., 24 months from the consummation
of the IPO) to November 12, 2028 (i.e., 48 months from the consummation of the IPO). However, On May 20, 2026, the Company
received a letter from Nasdaq, which stated that because the stockholders’ equity of the Company reported on its Form 10-Q for
the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 was below the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement required for continued listing pursuant
to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq’s continued listing rules on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
The Company has been given an extension of up to November 12, 2026 to regain compliance with Rule 5550(b). In the event that the Company
does not regain compliance on or before November 12, 2026, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its listed securities
will be delisted and at that time, the Company may appeal the determination to a Hearings Panel. Notwithstanding the foregoing compliance
extension granted by Nasdaq through November 12, 2026, Nasdaq rules require that we complete a Business Combination no later than 36
months after our IPO. While we may be able to appeal a delisting determination by Nasdaq and be granted additional time after the 36th
month from our IPO date to complete a Business Combination, we may not be successful in such an appeal. If we are not successful in such
an appeal and fail to complete a Business Combination within the 36 months of our IPO, our securities will be delisted. If our securities
are delisted from Nasdaq, such delisting could make it more difficult to buy or sell the Company’s securities, limit investors’
ability to make transactions in our securities, impair the ability to obtain accurate quotations, subject us to additional trading restrictions,
and could result in a material decline in the price of the Company’s securities.
On September 22, 2026, the redemption price per
Public Share was approximately $10.82 (which is expected to be the same approximate amount two (2) business days prior to the
Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (“Extraordinary General Meeting”), based on the aggregate amount on
deposit in the Trust Account of approximately $3.06 million as of September 22, 2026 (including interest not previously released
to the Company to pay its taxes), divided by the total number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares. The closing price of the
Public Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on September 22, 2026 was $10.82. The Company cannot assure shareholders that they will be
able to sell their Public Shares in the open market, even if the market price per Public Share is lower than the redemption price stated
above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such shareholders wish to sell their shares. The Company believes
that such redemption right enables its holders of Public Shares to determine whether to keep their investments for an additional period
of time if the Company does not complete a Business Combination on or before the Current Termination Date.
Subject to the foregoing, the approval of the
Charter Amendment Proposal requires a resolution of members under the BVI Business Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of at least
a majority of the votes cast by such holders of the issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares, no par
value, of the Company (collectively, the “Ordinary Shares”), voting together as a single class, being entitled to
do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
Our Board has determined that it is in the best
interests of our shareholders to allow the Company to extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination for an additional
twenty-four (24) months from November 12, 2026 to November 12, 2028, and provide that the date for cessation of operations
of the Company if the Company has not completed a Business Combination would similarly be extended to the Extended Termination Date.
On the Record Date, the Sponsor beneficially
owned and was entitled to vote an aggregate of 1,785,000 ordinary shares, representing approximately 76.4% of the Company’s issued
and outstanding shares. If the Sponsor votes in favor of the extension (which it has indicated it will do), the Charter Amendment proposal
will be approved. However, if it does not vote as it has indicated and if the Charter Amendment proposal is not approved and we have
not consummated a Business Combination by the Current Termination Date, we will (a) cease all operations except for the purpose
of winding up, (b) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, subject to
lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount
then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of
interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public
Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive
further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such
redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our
obligations under the laws of British Virgin Islands to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
In the event we wind up, there will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to our rights to receive ordinary share upon
the consummation of a Business Combination and the rights will expire worthless.
16
Interests of Certain Persons in the Charter Amendment and the Consummation
of a Business Combination
When you consider the recommendation of the Board
in favor of adoption of the Charter Amendment Proposal, you should keep in mind that ASPC’s Sponsor, directors, and officers (collectively,
“Initial Shareholders”) have interests in a Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, your
interests as a shareholder, including:
●
The Sponsor has agreed
not to redeem any Founder Shares held by it in connection with a shareholder vote to approve
a Business Combination.
●
The fact that the
Sponsor, directors or officers or their affiliates have agreed to vote their ASPC ordinary
shares in favor of the consummation of a Business Combination.
●
The exercise of ASPC’s
directors’ and officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers the terms
of the Merger Agreement and related transactions may result in a conflict of interest when
determining whether such changes or waivers are appropriate and in our shareholders’
best interests.
●
If ASPC is unable
to complete a Business Combination within the required time period, the Sponsor may be liable
under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced
by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money
by ASPC for services rendered or contracted for ASPC. If ASPC consummates a Business
Combination, on the other hand, the combined company will be liable for all such claims.
●
The Sponsor intends
to transfer an aggregate of 60,000 of its Founder Shares, or 20,000 each, to ASPC’s
three independent directors, at the consummation of a Business Combination. If ASPC does
not complete a Business Combination, such Founder Shares will expire worthless. Accordingly,
they may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business
is an appropriate business with which to effectuate ASPC’s Business Combination as
such compensation will not be received unless ASPC consummate such Business Combination.
●
The Sponsor may make
loans from time to time to ASPC to fund certain capital requirements. If our Sponsor makes
any working capital loans, up to $1,150,000 of such loans may be converted into units, at
the price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to
the Private Placement Units. If we do not complete a Business Combination within the required
period, we may use a portion of our working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay
the working capital loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay
the working capital loans. Since ASPC will not repay such loans if ASPC does not complete
a Business Combination, a conflict of interest may arise.
●
The Sponsor and ASPC’s
officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on ASPC’s behalf, such
as identifying and investigating possible business targets and Business Combinations. Unless
ASPC consummates a Business Combination, ASPC’s officers, directors and insiders will
not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that
such expenses exceed the amount of available proceeds not deposited in the trust account
and the amount of interest income from the trust account that may be released to ASPC as
working capital. If a Business Combination is not completed by November 12, 2026 (unless
further extended), they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement.
Accordingly, ASPC may not be able to reimburse these expenses, and the Sponsor and ASPC’s
officers and directors and their affiliates will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceeded the amount of its working
capital if the Bioserica Business Combination or another Business Combination is not completed
within the allotted time period.
●
The continued indemnification
of our current directors and officers and the continuation of directors’ and officers’
liability insurance after a Business Combination covering ASPC’s current directors
and officers.
17
●
With certain limited
exceptions, the Founder Shares will not be transferable, assignable or saleable by the Sponsor
until the earlier of (1) six months after the completion of a Business Combination
and (2) the date on which ASPC consummates a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization
or other similar transaction after a Business Combination that results in all of ASPC’s
public shareholders having the right to exchange their Public Shares for cash, securities
or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last sale price of ASPC’s
Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits,
share capitalizations, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations
and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing
after ASPC’s Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.
With certain limited exceptions, the Private Placement Units, private placement shares, private
placement rights and the Class A ordinary shares underlying such private placement rights
will not be transferable, assignable or salable by the Initial Shareholders until the completion
of ASPC’s Business Combination. Since the Sponsor and its affiliates, ASPC’s
officers and directors may directly or indirectly own ASPC Ordinary Shares and ASPC rights,
ASPC’s officers and directors may have a conflict of interest in determining whether
a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate a Business
Combination.
●
None of ASPC’s
officers or directors is required to commit his or her full time to ASPC’s affairs
and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating his or her time among various
business activities. ASPC does not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion
of ASPC’s Business Combination. Each of ASPC’s officers is engaged in several
other business endeavors for which he or she may be entitled to substantial compensation,
and ASPC’s officers are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours
per week to ASPC’s affairs.
●
ASPC’s officers
and directors may have a consulting relationship with other corporations and may have a conflict
of interest including but not limited to allocating his or her time among various business
activities.
●
In the course of
their other business activities, ASPC’s officers and directors may become aware of
investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to ASPC as
well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. ASPC’s management may have
conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should
be presented.
If a Business Combination is not completed by
November 12, 2026, ASPC will be required to liquidate. In such event:
●
100 ASPC Class B
ordinary shares held by the Sponsor, which were acquired by the Sponsor prior to ASPC’s
IPO for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $0.02 per share, or $2 in the aggregate,
and 1,499,900 ASPC Class A ordinary shares, which were exchanged by the Sponsor from the
1,499,900 ASPC Class B ordinary shares the Sponsor acquired prior to ASPC’s IPO for
an aggregate purchase price of approximately $0.02 per share, or $24,998 in the aggregate,
will be worthless because the Sponsor is not entitled to participate in any redemption of
distribution from the Trust Account with respect to such securities. Such ASPC Founder Shares
had an aggregate market value of approximately $16.23 million based on the closing price
of the ASPC Class A Ordinary Shares of $10.82 per share on The Nasdaq Capital Market
as of September 22, 2026. The Sponsor and its affiliates and ASPC’s officers and directors
waived their redemption rights and liquidation rights in connection with the purchase of
the Founder Shares and no other consideration was paid for such agreement.
●
285,000 Private Placement
Units purchased by the Sponsor for $2,850,000 will be worthless because the Sponsor
is not entitled to participate in any redemption of distribution from the Trust Account with
respect to such securities. At the consummation of a Business Combination, such Private Placement
Units would have an aggregate market value of approximately $3.42 million based on the
closing price of $11.99 per Unit on The Nasdaq Capital Market as of September 22, 2026. The
Sponsor and its affiliates and ASPC’s officers and directors waived their redemption
rights and liquidation rights in connection with the purchase of the Private Placement Units and
no other consideration was paid for such agreement.
●
Because of these
interests, ASPC’s Initial Shareholders could benefit from the completion of a Business
Combination that is not favorable to its public shareholders and may be incentivized to complete
an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to public shareholders
rather than liquidate. For example, if the share price of the Class A ordinary shares
declined to $5.00 per share after the close of the Business Combination, ASPC’s public
shareholder that purchased shares in the IPO would have a loss of $5.00 per share, while
ASPC’s Sponsor would have a gain of $4.98 per share because it acquired the Founder
Shares for a nominal amount. In other words, ASPC’s Sponsor can earn a positive rate
of return on their investment even if public shareholders experience a negative rate of return
in the post-combination Company.
Other interests of ASPC’s Initial Shareholders
in a Business Combination will be fully described in the proxy statement to be made available to ASPC’s shareholders in connection
with the shareholder approval of such proposed transaction.
18
There are no assurances that the Charter Amendment and Extension,
even if approved and implemented, will enable us to complete the Bioserica Business Combination or a Business Combination.
Approving the Extension involves a number of
risks. Even if the Extension is approved and implemented, the Company can provide no assurances that the Bioserica Business Combination
or any Business Combination will be consummated prior to the Extended Termination Date. Our ability to consummate a Business Combination
is dependent on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. If the Extension is approved and implemented , the Company
expects to seek shareholder approval of the Bioserica Business Combination.
We are required to offer public shareholders
the opportunity to redeem Public Shares in connection with the Charter Amendment Proposal, and we will be required to offer public shareholders
redemption rights again in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the Bioserica Business Combination. Even if the Extension
or the Bioserica Business Combination is approved by our shareholders, it is possible that redemptions will leave us with insufficient
cash to consummate the Bioserica Business Combination on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. The fact that we will have separate
redemption periods in connection with shareholder votes on each of the Extension and the Bioserica Business Combination vote could exacerbate
these risks. Other than in connection with a redemption offer or liquidation, our shareholders may be unable to recover their investment
except through sales of our shares in the open market. The price of our shares may be volatile, and there can be no assurance that shareholders
will be able to dispose of our shares at favorable prices, or at all.
Changes in international trade policies, tariffs and treaties affecting
imports and exports may have a material adverse effect on our search for a Business Combination target or the performance or business
prospects of a post-Business Combination company.
There have recently been significant changes
to international trade policies and tariffs affecting imports and exports. Any significant increases in tariffs on goods or materials
or other changes in trade policy could negatively affect our search for a target and/or our ability to complete our Business Combination.
Recently, the U.S. has implemented a range
of new tariffs and increases to existing tariffs. In response to the tariffs announced by the U.S., other countries have imposed, are
considering imposing, and may in the future impose new or increased tariffs on certain exports from the United States. There is
currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries with respect to trade
policies, taxes, government regulations and tariffs and we cannot predict whether, and to what extent, current tariffs will continue
or trade policies will change in the future.
Tariffs, or the threat of tariffs or increased
tariffs, could have a significant negative impact on certain businesses (either due to domestic businesses’ reliance on imported
goods or dependence on access to foreign markets, or foreign businesses’ reliance on sales into the United States). In addition,
retaliatory tariffs could have a significant negative impact on foreign businesses that rely on imports from the United States,
and domestic businesses that rely on exporting goods internationally. These tariffs and threats of tariffs and other potential trade
policy changes could negatively affect the attractiveness of certain initial Business Combination targets, or lead to material adverse
effects on a post-Business Combination company. Among other things, historical financial performance of companies affected by trade policies
and/or tariffs may not provide useful guidance as to the future performance of such companies, because future financial performance of
those companies may be materially affected by new U.S. tariffs or foreign retaliatory tariffs, or other changes to trade policies.
The business prospects of a particular target for a Business Combination could change even after we have entered into a business combination
agreement as a result of tariffs or the threat of tariffs that may have a material impact on that target’s business, and it may
be costly or impractical for us to terminate that business combination agreement. These factors could affect our selection of a Business
Combination target.
We may not be able to adequately address the
risks presented by these tariffs or other potential trade policy changes. As a result, we may deem it costly, impractical or risky to
complete a Business Combination with a particular target or with a target in a particular industry or from a particular country. Consequently,
the pool of potential target companies may be reduced, which could impair our ability to identify a suitable target and to complete a
Business Combination. If we complete a Business Combination with such a target, the post-Business Combination company’s operations
and financial results could be adversely affected as a result of tariffs or changes to trade policies, which may cause the market value
of the securities of the post-Business Combination company to decline.
We may not be able to complete a Business Combination with a U.S. target
company since such Business Combination may be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government
entity such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited.
The Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (“CFIUS”)
is an interagency committee authorized to review certain transactions involving acquisitions and investments in the U.S. by foreign
persons in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the U.S. CFIUS has jurisdiction to review
transactions that could result in control of a U.S. business directly or indirectly by a foreign person, certain non-controlling investments
that afford the foreign investor non-passive rights in a “TID U.S. business” (defined as a U.S. business that
(1) produces, designs, tests, manufactures, fabricates, or develops one or more critical technologies; (2) owns or operates
certain critical infrastructure; or (3) collects or maintains directly or indirectly sensitive personal data of U.S. citizens),
and certain acquisitions, leases, and concessions involving real estate even with no underlying U.S. business. Certain categories
of acquisitions of and investments in a U.S. business also may be subject to a mandatory notification requirement.
19
Our sponsor, A SPAC III (Holdings) Corp.,
a British Virgin Islands company, is controlled by or has substantial ties with non-U.S. persons domiciled outside the U.S. Acquisitions
and investments by non-U.S. persons in certain U.S. businesses may be subject to rules or regulations that limit foreign ownership.
We are therefore likely considered a “foreign person” under the regulations administered by CFIUS and will continue to be
considered as such in the future for so long as our sponsor has the ability to exercise control over us for purposes of CFIUS’s
regulations. As such, a Business Combination with a U.S. business may be subject to CFIUS review, the scope of which was expanded
by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“FIRRMA”), to include certain non-passive, non-controlling investments
in sensitive U.S. businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying U.S. business. FIRRMA, and subsequent
implementing regulations that are now in force, also subjects certain categories of investments to mandatory filings. If our potential
Business Combination with a U.S. business falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, we may determine that we are required to make
a mandatory filing or that we will submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the initial business combination without notifying
CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the Business Combination. CFIUS may decide to block or delay our Business
Combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such Business Combination or order us to divest
all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company without first obtaining CFIUS clearance, which may limit the attractiveness
of or prevent us from pursuing certain initial business combination opportunities that we believe would otherwise be beneficial to us
and our shareholders. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which we could complete a Business Combination may be limited and
we may be adversely affected in terms of competing with other special purpose acquisition companies which do not have similar foreign
ownership issues.
Moreover, the process of government review, whether
by the CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy and we have limited time to complete our Business Combination. If the Charter Amendment Proposal
is not approved, and we cannot complete our Business Combination by November 12, 2026 because the review process drags on beyond
the Combination Period or because our Business Combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or another U.S. government entity,
we may be required to liquidate. If we liquidate, our public shareholders may only receive approximately $10.82 per share (without taking
into account any additional interest, taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), and our rights will
expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose the investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future
gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.
If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment
Company Act, we would be required to meet burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it
difficult for us to complete our Business Combination. In that case, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not
be deemed an investment company, we would expect to abandon our efforts to complete a Business Combination and instead to liquidate itself.
There is currently uncertainty concerning the
applicability of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) and the regulations
thereunder, to a special purpose acquisition company such as A SPAC III. Notwithstanding an investment of proceeds in government
securities, A SPAC III could nevertheless be considered to be operating as an unregistered investment company, and the longer that
the funds in the Trust Account are held in short-term U.S. government securities or in money market funds invested exclusively in
such securities, the greater the risk that A SPAC III may be considered an unregistered investment company.
If A SPAC III is deemed to be an investment
company under the Investment Company Act, A SPAC III’s activities would be severely restricted and A SPAC III would be
subject to burdensome compliance requirements. Although A SPAC III does not believe that its principal activities will subject itself
to regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, if A SPAC III is deemed to be an investment company and
subject to compliance with and regulation under the Investment Company Act, A SPAC III would be subject to additional regulatory
burdens and expenses for which A SPAC III has not allotted funds. As a result, unless A SPAC III were able to modify its activities
so that A SPAC III would not be deemed an investment company, A SPAC III would expect to abandon its efforts to complete a
Business Combination and instead to liquidate itself. If A SPAC III is required to liquidate and dissolve, its investors would not
be able to realize the benefits of owning shares in the post-Business Combination company, including the potential appreciation in the
value of A SPAC III’s shares and rights following such a transaction. In addition, in the event of A SPAC III’s
liquidation and dissolution, A SPAC III’s rights would expire worthless.
20
Since the Sponsor, our directors, and officers will lose their
entire investment in us if a Business Combination is not completed, they may have a conflict of interest in the approval of the proposals
at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
There will be no distribution from the Trust
Account with respect to the Company’s rights, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation,
our Sponsor will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of (i) 100 Class B ordinary
shares that were purchased by the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $2 prior to our IPO, (ii) 1,499,900 Class A ordinary shares
that were exchanged by the Sponsor for 1,499,900 Class B ordinary shares the Sponsor purchased for an aggregate purchase price of $24,998
prior to our IPO, and (iii) 285,000 Private Placement Units purchased by the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of
$2,850,000. As a consequence, a liquidating distribution will be made only with respect to the Public Shares. In addition, certain
of our executive officers have beneficial interests in the Sponsor. Such persons have waived their rights to liquidating distributions
from the Trust Account with respect to these securities, and all of such investments would expire worthless if a Business Combination
is not consummated. Additionally, such persons can earn a positive rate of return on their overall investment in the combined company
after a Business Combination, even if other holders of our Ordinary Shares experience a negative rate of return, due to having initially
purchased the Class B ordinary shares for an aggregate of $25,000. The personal and financial interests of our Sponsor, directors,
and officers may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting Bioserica or other target for a Business Combination ,
and therefore may have interests different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder in connection with the proposals
at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
The ability of our public shareholders to exercise redemption rights
if the Extension is implemented with respect to a large number of our Public Shares may adversely affect the liquidity of our securities.
Pursuant to our Charter, a public shareholder
may request that the Company redeem all or a portion of such public shareholder’s Public Shares for cash if the Extension is implemented.
The ability of our public shareholders to exercise such redemption rights with respect to a large number of our Public Shares may adversely
affect the liquidity of our Class A ordinary shares. As a result, you may be unable to sell your Class A ordinary shares even
if the per-share market price is higher than the per-share redemption price paid to public shareholders that elect to redeem their Public
Shares if the Extension is implemented.
Nasdaq may delist our securities which could limit investors’
ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.
On May 20, 2026, the Company received a letter
from Nasdaq, which stated that because the stockholders’ equity of the Company reported on its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter
ended March 31, 2026 was below the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement required for continued listing pursuant to Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5550(b)(1), the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq’s continued listing rules on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company
has been given an extension of up to November 12, 2026 to regain compliance with Rule 5550(b). In the event that the Company does not
regain compliance on or before November 12, 2026, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its listed securities
will be delisted and at that time, the Company may appeal the determination to a Hearings Panel.
Notwithstanding the foregoing compliance extension
granted by Nasdaq through November 12, 2026, Nasdaq rules require that we complete a Business Combination no later than 36 months after
our IPO. While we may be able to appeal a delisting determination by Nasdaq and be granted additional time after the 36th
month from our IPO date to complete a Business Combination, we may not be successful in such an appeal. If we are not successful in such
an appeal and fail to complete a Business Combination within the 36 months of our IPO, our securities will be delisted. If our securities
are delisted from Nasdaq, such delisting could make it more difficult to buy or sell the Company’s securities, limit investors’
ability to make transactions in our securities, impair the ability to obtain accurate quotations, subject us to additional trading restrictions,
and could result in a material decline in the price of the Company’s securities.
You are not being asked to
vote on any Business Combination at this time. If the Charter Amendment is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your Public Shares
now, you will retain the right to vote on a Business Combination when it is submitted to a vote by the shareholders and the right to
redeem your Public Shares into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account in the event a Business Combination is approved and completed
(as long as your election is made at least two (2) business days prior to the meeting at which the shareholders’ vote
is sought) or the Company has not consummated a Business Combination by the applicable termination date.
Vote Required
Approval of the Charter Amendment proposal requires
the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes of the Ordinary Shares entitled to vote thereon which were present at the Extraordinary
General Meeting and were voted. If your shares are held in street name, your broker, bank, custodian, or other nominee holder cannot
vote your shares on this proposal, unless you direct the holder how to vote, by marking your proxy card. An abstention or broker non-vote
will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Recommendation
The Company’s Board recommends that you
vote “FOR” the Charter Amendment proposal.
21
PROPOSAL 2: THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL
The Adjournment Proposal, if approved, will request
the chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting (who has agreed to act accordingly) to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to
a later date or dates for any reason, including but not limited to permitting further solicitation of proxies. If the Adjournment Proposal
is not approved by our shareholders, the chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting may not be able to adjourn the Extraordinary General
Meeting to a later date in the event that, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Extraordinary
General Meeting to approve the Charter Amendment Proposal.
Vote Required
If a majority of the votes of the Ordinary Shares
entitled to vote thereon which were present in person physically or by virtual attendance or represented by proxy which were present
and voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting vote for the Adjournment Proposal, the chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting will
exercise his or her power to adjourn the meeting as set out above.
Recommendation
The Company’s Board recommends that you
vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

Subject to the limitations set out in Clause 11 in respect
of amendments to the Memorandum and Articles, the rights attached to a class of the Ordinary
Shares as specified in Clause 6.1 (including the rights attached to Class B Ordinary Shares
in Regulation 3 and 10) may only, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied
by a resolution passed at a meeting by the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the
total number of Ordinary Shares of that class that have voted (and are entitled to vote thereon)
in relation to any such resolution, unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of such
class, and any such variation that has to be approved under this Clause 7.1 shall also be
subject to compliance with Regulation 24.11 of the Articles.
7.2
The rights attached to any Preferred Shares in issue
as specified in Clause 6.2 may only, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied

REGISTERED SHARES
1.1
Every Member is entitled to a certificate signed by a
Director of the Company or under the Seal specifying the number of Shares held by him and
the signature of the Director and the Seal may be facsimiles.
1.2
Any Member receiving a certificate shall indemnify and
hold the Company and its Directors and officers harmless from any loss or liability which
it or they may incur by reason of any wrongful or fraudulent use or representation made by
any person by virtue of the possession thereof. If a certificate for Shares is worn out or
lost it may be renewed on production of the worn out certificate or on satisfactory proof
of its loss together with such indemnity as may be required by a Resolution of Directors.
1.3
If several Eligible Persons are registered as joint holders
of any Shares, any one of such Eligible Persons may give an effectual receipt for any Distribution.
1.4
Nothing in these Articles shall require title to any
Shares or other Securities to be evidenced by a certificate if the Act and the rules of the
Designated Stock Exchange permit otherwise.
1.5
Subject to the Act and the rules of the Designated Stock
Exchange, the Board of Directors without further consultation with the holders of any Shares
or Securities may resolve that any class or series of Shares or other Securities in issue
or to be issued from time to time may be issued, registered or converted to uncertificated
form and the practices instituted by the operator of the relevant system. No provision of
these Articles will apply to any uncertificated shares or Securities to the extent that they
are inconsistent with the holding of such shares or securities in uncertificated form or
the transfer of title to any such shares or securities by means of a relevant system.
1.6
Conversion of Shares held in certificated form into Shares
held in uncertificated form, and vice versa, may be made in such manner as the Board of Directors,
in its absolute discretion, may think fit (subject always to the requirements of the relevant
system concerned). The Company or any duly authorised transfer agent shall enter on the register
of members how many Shares are held by each member in uncertificated form and certificated
form and shall maintain the register of members in each case as is required by the relevant
system concerned. Notwithstanding any provision of these Articles, a class or series of Shares
shall not be treated as two classes by virtue only of that class or series comprising both
certificated shares and uncertificated shares or as a result of any provision of these Articles
which applies only in respect of certificated shares or uncertificated shares.
1.7
Nothing contained in Regulation 1.5 and 1.6 is meant
to prohibit the Shares from being able to trade electronically. For the avoidance of doubt,
Shares shall only be traded and transferred electronically upon consummation of the IPO.
2
SHARES
2.1
Subject to the provisions of these Articles and, where
applicable, the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange, the unissued Shares of the Company
shall be at the disposal of the Directors and Shares and other Securities may be issued and
option to acquire Shares or other Securities may be granted at such times, to such Eligible
Persons, for such consideration and on such terms as the Directors may by Resolution of Directors
determine, save that the Directors may not allot, issue, grant options over or otherwise
deal with any unissued Shares to the extent that it may affect the ability of the Company
to carry out a Class B Ordinary Share conversion described at Regulation 3.
Annex A-11
2.2
Without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred
on the holders of any existing Preferred Shares, any Preferred Shares may be issued with
such preferred, deferred or other special rights or such restrictions, whether in regard
to dividend, voting or otherwise as the Directors may from time to time determine subject
to Regulation 24.7.
2.3
Section 46 of the Act does not apply to the Company.
2.4
A Share may be issued for consideration in any form,
including money, a promissory note, real property, personal property (including goodwill
and know-how) or a contract for future services.
2.5
No Shares may be issued for a consideration other than
money, unless a Resolution of Directors has been passed stating:
(a)
the amount to be credited
for the issue of the Shares; and
(b)
that, in their opinion,
the present cash value of the non-money consideration for the issue is not less than the
amount to be credited for the issue of the Shares.
2.6
The Company shall keep a register (the share register)
containing:
(a)
the names and addresses
of the persons who hold Shares;
(b)
the number of each class
and series of Shares held by each Member;
(c)
the date on which the name
of each Member was entered in the share register; and
(d)
the date on which any Eligible
Person ceased to be a Member.
2.7
The share register may be in any such form as the Directors
may approve, but if it is in magnetic, electronic or other data storage form, the Company
must be able to produce legible evidence of its contents. Until the Directors otherwise determine,
the magnetic, electronic or other data storage form shall be the original share register.
2.8
A Share is deemed to be issued when the name of the Member
is entered in the share register.
2.9
Subject to the provisions of the Act and the Business
Combination Articles, Shares may be issued on the terms that they are redeemable, or at the
option of the Company be liable to be redeemed on such terms and in such manner as the Directors
before or at the time of the issue of such Shares may determine. The Directors may issue
options, warrants, rights or convertible securities or securities of a similar nature conferring
the right upon the holders thereof to subscribe for, purchase or receive any class of Shares
or Securities on such terms as the Directors may from time to time determine. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Directors may also issue options, warrants, rights to acquire or receive
shares or convertible securities in connection with the Company’s IPO.
2.10
With respect to redeeming or repurchasing the Shares:
(a)
Members who hold Public
Shares are entitled to request the redemption of such Shares in the circumstances described
in Regulation 24.5;
(b)
Class B Ordinary Shares
held by the Sponsor shall, following consummation of the IPO, be surrendered by the Sponsor
on a pro rata basis for no consideration to the extent that the Over-Allotment Option is
not exercised in full so that the Class B Ordinary Shares will at all times represent 20%
of the Company’s issued Shares after the IPO; and
(c)
Public Shares shall be
repurchased by way of tender offer in the circumstances set out in Regulation 24.5.
Annex A-12
3
Class B Ordinary Share Conversion
3.1
The rights attaching to the Class A Ordinary Shares and
Class B Ordinary Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects, and the Class A Ordinary Shares
and Class B Ordinary Shares shall vote together as a single class on all matters (subject
to Clause 7 of the Memorandum and Regulation 10.1 of the Articles) with the exception that
the holder of a Class B Share shall have the conversion rights referred to in this Regulation
3.
3.2
Class B Ordinary Shares shall convert into Class A Ordinary
Shares on a one-for-one basis (the Initial Conversion Ratio): (a) at any time and
from time to time at the option of the holders thereof; or (b) automatically at the
time of the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination.
3.3
Notwithstanding the Initial Conversion Ratio, in the
case that additional Class A Ordinary Shares or any other equity-linked securities, are issued,
or deemed issued, by the Company in excess of the amounts offered in the IPO and related
to the consummation of a Business Combination, all issued Class B Ordinary Shares shall automatically
be converted into such number of Class A Ordinary Shares on the first business day following
the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination at a ratio for which the Class
B Ordinary Shares shall convert into Class A Ordinary Shares will be adjusted (unless the
holders of a majority of the Class B Ordinary Shares in issue agree to waive such anti-dilution
adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class
A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B Ordinary Shares will equal, in
the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, to 20% of the sum of:
(a)
all Class A Ordinary Shares
and Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding upon completion of the IPO, including
pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option, plus
(b)
all Class A Ordinary Shares
issued or deemed issued, or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any equity-linked
securities issued or deemed issued in connection with or in relation to the Business Combination,
excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in
the Business Combination and any private placement-equivalent units issued to the Sponsor
or its affiliates upon conversion of working capital loans made to the Company.
3.4
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
the foregoing adjustment to the Initial Conversion Ratio may be waived as to any particular
issuance or deemed issuance of additional Class A Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities
by the written consent or agreement of holders of a majority of the Class B Ordinary Shares
then in issue consenting or agreeing separately as a separate class in the manner provided
in Clause 7 of the Memorandum.
3.5
The foregoing conversion ratio shall also be adjusted
to account for any subdivision (by share subdivision, exchange, capitalisation, rights issue,
reclassification, recapitalisation or otherwise) or combination (by share consolidation,
exchange, reclassification, recapitalisation or otherwise) or similar reclassification or
recapitalisation of the Class A Ordinary Shares in issue into a greater or lesser number
of shares occurring after the original filing of the Articles without a proportionate and
corresponding subdivision, combination or similar reclassification or recapitalisation of
the Class B Ordinary Shares in issue.
3.6
Each Class B Share shall convert into its pro rata number
of Class A Ordinary Shares as set forth in this Regulation 3. The pro rata share for each
holder of Class B Ordinary Shares will be determined as follows: Each Class B Ordinary Share
shall convert into such number of Class A Ordinary Shares as is equal to the product of 1
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Class A Ordinary
Shares into which all of the issued Class B Ordinary Shares shall be converted pursuant to
this Regulation 3 and the denominator of which shall be the total number of issued Class
B Ordinary Shares at the time of conversion.
3.7
References in this Regulation 3 to “converted”,
“conversion” or “exchange” shall mean the compulsory redemption without
notice of Class B Ordinary Shares of any Member and, on behalf of such Members, automatic
application of such redemption proceeds in paying for such new Class A Ordinary Shares into
which the Class B Ordinary Shares have been converted or exchanged at a price per Class B
Ordinary Share necessary to give effect to a conversion or exchange. The Class A Ordinary
Shares to be issued on an exchange or conversion shall be registered in the name of such
Member or in such name as the Member may direct.
Annex A-13
3.8
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Regulation
3, in no event may any Class B Ordinary Share convert into Class A Ordinary Shares at a ratio
that is less than one-for-one.
3.9
The directors shall not allot or issue Class A Ordinary
Shares such that the number of authorised but unissued Class A Ordinary Shares would at any
time be insufficient to permit the conversion of all Class B Ordinary Shares from time to
time issued into Class A Ordinary Shares.
4
FORFEITURE
4.1
Shares that are not fully paid on issue are subject to
the forfeiture provisions set forth in this Regulation and for this purpose Shares issued
for a promissory note or a contract for future services are deemed to be not fully paid.

to be made shall be served on the Member who defaults in making payment in respect of the
Shares.

service of the notice on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made

in the notice the Shares, or any of them, in respect of which payment is not made will be
liable to be forfeited.
4.4

to Regulation 4.2 and the requirements of the notice have not been complied with, the Directors
may, at any time before tender of payment, forfeit and cancel the Shares to which the notice

provision in the Memorandum or Articles to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire the Shares
without such consent.
7.2

The inadvertent failure of a Director who convenes a
meeting to give notice of a meeting to a Member or another Director, or the fact that a Member
or another Director has not received notice, does not invalidate the meeting.
9.7
A Member may be represented at a meeting of Members by
a proxy who may speak and vote on behalf of the Member.
9.8
The instrument appointing a proxy shall be produced at
the place designated for the meeting before the time for holding the meeting at which the
person named in such instrument proposes to vote.
Annex A-16

evidencing the wishes of the Member appointing the proxy.

9.10
The following applies where Shares are jointly owned:
(a)
if two or more persons
hold Shares jointly each of them may be present in person or by proxy at a meeting of Members
and may speak as a Member;
(b)
if only one of the joint
owners is present in person or by proxy he may vote on behalf of all joint owners; and
(c)
if two or more of the joint
owners are present in person or by proxy they must vote as one and in the event of disagreement
between any of the joint owners of Shares then the vote of the joint owner whose name appears
first (or earliest) in the share register in respect of the relevant Shares shall be recorded
as the vote attributable to the Shares.
9.11
A Member shall be deemed to be present at a meeting
of Members if he participates by telephone or other electronic means and all Members participating
in the meeting are able to hear each other.
9.12
A meeting of Members is duly constituted if, at the
commencement of the meeting, there are present in person or by proxy not less than 50 per
cent of the votes of the Shares entitled to vote on Resolutions of Members to be considered
at the meeting. If the Company has two or more classes of shares, a meeting may be quorate
for some purposes and not for others. A quorum may comprise a single Member or proxy and
then such person may pass a Resolution of Members and a certificate signed by such person
accompanied where such person holds a proxy by a copy of the proxy instrument shall constitute
a valid Resolution of Members.
9.13
If within two hours from the time appointed for the
meeting of Members, a quorum is not present, the meeting, at the discretion of the Chairman
of the Board of Directors shall either be dissolved or stand adjourned to a business day
in the jurisdiction in which the meeting was to have been held at the same time and place,
and if at the adjourned meeting there are present within one hour from the time appointed
for the meeting in person or by proxy not less than one third of the votes of the Shares
entitled to vote or each class or series of Shares entitled to vote, as applicable, on the
matters to be considered by the meeting, those present shall constitute a quorum but otherwise
the meeting shall either be dissolved or stand further adjourned at the discretion of the
Chairman of the Board of Directors.
9.14
At every meeting of Members, the Chairman of the Board
shall preside as chairman of the meeting. If there is no Chairman of the Board or if the
Chairman of the Board is not present at the meeting, the Members present shall choose one
of their number to be the chairman. If the Members are unable to choose a chairman for any
reason, then the person representing the greatest number of voting Shares present in person
or by proxy at the meeting shall preside as chairman failing which the oldest individual
Member or representative of a Member present shall take the chair.
Annex A-17
9.15
The person appointed as chairman of the meeting pursuant
to Regulation 9.14 may adjourn any meeting from time to time, and from place to place. For
the avoidance of doubt, a meeting can be adjourned for as many times as may be determined
to be necessary by the chairman and a meeting may remain open indefinitely for as long a
period as may be determined by the chairman.
9.16
Voting at any meeting of the Members is by show of hands
unless a poll is demanded by the chairman. On a show of hands every Member who is present
in person (or, in the case of a Member being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative)
or by proxy shall have one vote and on a poll every Member shall present in person (or, in
the case of a Member being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative) or by proxy
shall have one vote for each Share which such Member is the holder. Any Member present in
person or by proxy who disputes the announcement by the chairman of the result of any vote
may immediately following such announcement demand that a poll be taken and the chairman
shall cause a poll to be taken. If a poll is taken at any meeting, the result shall be announced
to the meeting and recorded in the minutes of the meeting.
9.17
Subject to the specific provisions contained in this
Regulation for the appointment of representatives of Members other than individuals the right
of any individual to speak for or represent a Member shall be determined by the law of the
jurisdiction where, and by the documents by which, the Member is constituted or derives its
existence. In case of doubt, the Directors may in good faith seek legal advice and unless
and until a court of competent jurisdiction shall otherwise rule, the Directors may rely
and act upon such advice without incurring any liability to any Member or the Company.
9.18
Any Member other than an individual may by resolution
of its Directors or other governing body authorise such individual as it thinks fit to act
as its representative at any meeting of Members or of any class of Members, and the individual
so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same rights on behalf of the Member which
he represents as that Member could exercise if it were an individual.
9.19
The chairman of any meeting at which a vote is cast
by proxy or on behalf of any Member other than an individual may at the meeting but not thereafter
call for a notarially certified copy of such proxy or authority which shall be produced within
7 days of being so requested or the votes cast by such proxy or on behalf of such Member
shall be disregarded.
9.20
Directors of the Company may attend and speak at any
meeting of Members and at any separate meeting of the holders of any class or series of Shares.
9.21
Until the consummation of the Company’s IPO, any
action that may be taken by the Members at a meeting may also be taken by a Resolution of
Members consented to in writing, without the need for any prior notice. If any Resolution
of Members is adopted otherwise than by the unanimous written consent of all Members, a copy
of such resolution shall forthwith be sent to all Members not consenting to such resolution.
The consent may be in the form of counterparts, each counterpart being signed by one or more
Members. If the consent is in one or more counterparts, and the counterparts bear different
dates, then the resolution shall take effect on the earliest date upon which Eligible Persons
holding a sufficient number of votes of Shares to constitute a Resolution of Members have
consented to the resolution by signed counterparts. Following the Company’s IPO, any
action required or permitted to be taken by the Members of the Company must be effected by
a meeting of the Company, such meeting to be duly convened and held in accordance with these
Articles.
10
DIRECTORS
10.1
Prior to the closing of a Business Combination, the
Directors shall be elected or removed by Resolution of Members of the Class B Ordinary Shares
for such term as the Members determine. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the closing
of a Business Combination holders of Class A Ordinary Shares or the Directors shall have
no right to vote on the appointment or removal of any director.
Annex A-18
10.2
After the closing of a Business Combination, the Directors
shall be elected or removed by Resolution of Members or by Resolution of Directors.
10.3
No person shall be appointed as a Director of the Company
unless he has consented in writing to act as a Director.
10.4
The minimum number of Directors shall be one and there
shall be no maximum number of Directors.
10.5
Each Director holds office for the term fixed by the
Resolution of Members or Resolution of Directors appointing him, or pursuant to Regulation
10.1 or 10.7, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. For the avoidance of doubt,
a Director who has completed his term of service is eligible for re-election in accordance
with Regulation 10.1. If no term is fixed on the appointment of a Director, the Director
shall serve indefinitely until his earlier death, resignation or removal.
10.6
A Director may resign his office by giving written notice
of his resignation to the Company and the resignation has effect from the date the notice
is received by the Company at the office of its registered agent or from such later date
as may be specified in the notice. A Director shall resign forthwith as a Director if he
is, or becomes, disqualified from acting as a Director under the Act.
10.7
After the closing of a Business Combination, the Directors
may at any time appoint any person to be a Director either to fill a vacancy or as an addition
to the existing Directors. Where the Directors appoint a person as Director to fill a vacancy,
the term shall not exceed the term that remained when the person who has ceased to be a Director
ceased to hold office.
10.8
A vacancy in relation to Directors occurs if a Director
dies or otherwise ceases to hold office prior to the expiration of his term of office.
10.9
The Company shall keep a register of Directors containing:
(a)
the names and addresses
of the persons who are Directors of the Company;
(b)
the date on which each
person whose name is entered in the register was appointed as a Director of the Company;
(c)
the date on which each
person named as a Director ceased to be a Director of the Company; and
(d)
such other information
as may be prescribed by the Act.
10.10
The register of Directors may be kept in any such form
as the Directors may approve, but if it is in magnetic, electronic or other data storage
form, the Company must be able to produce legible evidence of its contents. Until a Resolution
of Directors determining otherwise is passed, the magnetic, electronic or other data storage
shall be the original register of Directors.
10.11
The Directors, or if the Shares (or depository receipts
therefore) are listed or quoted on a Designated Stock Exchange, and if required by the Designated
Stock Exchange, any committee thereof, may, by a Resolution of Directors, fix the remuneration
of Directors with respect to services to be rendered in any capacity to the Company, provided
that no cash remuneration shall be paid to any Director prior to the consummation of a Business
Combination. The Directors shall also, whether prior to or after the consummation of a Business
Combination, be entitled to be paid out of pocket expenses properly incurred by them in connection
with activities on behalf of the Company, including identifying and consummating a Business
Combination. There is no limit on the amount of out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by the
Company provided that, to the extent such expenses exceed the available proceeds not deposited
in the Trust Account, such expenses would not be reimbursed by the Company unless the Company
consummates a Business Combination.
10.12
A Director is not required to hold a Share as a qualification
to office.
10.13
Prior to the consummation of any transaction with:
(a)
any affiliate of the Company;
(b)
any Member owning an interest
in the voting power of the Company that gives such Member a significant influence over the
Company;
Annex A-19
(c)
any Director or executive
officer of the Company and any relative of such Director or executive officer; and
(d)
any person in which a substantial
interest in the voting power of the Company is owned, directly or indirectly, by a person
referred to in Regulations 10.13(b) and (c) or over which such a person is able to exercise
significant influence,
such transaction must be approved by a majority of the members
of the Board of Directors who do not have an interest in the transaction, such directors having been provided with access (at the Company’s
expense) to the Company’s attorney or independent legal counsel, unless the disinterested directors determine that the terms of
such transaction are no less favourable to the Company than those that would be available to the Company with respect to such a transaction
from unaffiliated third parties.
11
POWERS OF DIRECTORS
11.1
The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed
by, or under the direction or supervision of, the Directors of the Company. The Directors
of the Company have all the powers necessary for managing, and for directing and supervising,
the business and affairs of the Company. The Directors may pay all expenses incurred preliminary
to and in connection with the incorporation of the Company and may exercise all such powers
of the Company as are not by the Act or by the Memorandum or the Articles required to be
exercised by the Members.
11.2
If the Company is the wholly owned subsidiary of a holding
company, a Director of the Company may, when exercising powers or performing duties as a
Director, act in a manner which he believes is in the best interests of the holding company
even though it may not be in the best interests of the Company.
11.3
Each Director shall exercise his powers for a proper
purpose and shall not act or agree to the Company acting in a manner that contravenes the
Memorandum, the Articles or the Act. Each Director, in exercising his powers or performing
his duties, shall act honestly and in good faith in what the Director believes to be the
best interests of the Company.
11.4
Any Director which is a body corporate may appoint any
individual as its duly authorised representative for the purpose of representing it at meetings
of the Directors, with respect to the signing of consents or otherwise.
11.5
The continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any
vacancy in their body.
11.6
Subject to Regulation 24.7, the Directors may by Resolution
of Directors exercise all the powers of the Company to incur indebtedness, liabilities or
obligations and to secure indebtedness, liabilities or obligations whether of the Company
or of any third party, provided always that if the same occurs prior to the consummation
of a Business Combination, the Company must first obtain from the lender a waiver of any
right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account.
11.7
All cheques, promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange
and other negotiable instruments and all receipts for moneys paid to the Company shall be
signed, drawn, accepted, endorsed or otherwise executed, as the case may be, in such manner
as shall from time to time be determined by Resolution of Directors.
11.8
Section 175 of the Act shall not apply to the Company.
12
PROCEEDINGS OF DIRECTORS
12.1
Any one Director of the Company may call a meeting of
the Directors by sending a written notice to each other Director.
12.2
The Directors of the Company or any committee thereof
may meet at such times and in such manner and places within or outside the British Virgin
Islands as the notice calling the meeting provides.
12.3
A Director is deemed to be present at a meeting of Directors
if he participates by telephone or other electronic means and all Directors participating
in the meeting are able to hear each other.
Annex A-20
12.4
After the closing of a Business Combination, a Director
may by a written instrument appoint an alternate who need not be a Director, any such alternate
shall be entitled to attend meetings in the absence of the Director who appointed him and
to vote or consent in place of the Director until the appointment lapses or is terminated
(an alternate’s appointment, if he has not already done so, will automatically terminate
on his appointor ceasing to be a Director).
12.5
A Director shall be given not less than three days’
notice of meetings of Directors, but a meeting of Directors held without three days’
notice having been given to all Directors shall be valid if all the Directors entitled to
vote at the meeting who do not attend waive notice of the meeting, and for this purpose the
presence of a Director at a meeting shall constitute waiver by that Director. The inadvertent
failure to give notice of a meeting to a Director, or the fact that a Director has not received
the notice, does not invalidate the meeting.
12.6
A meeting of Directors is duly constituted for all purposes
if at the commencement of the meeting there are present in person or, following the consummation
of a Business Combination, by alternate not less than one-half of the total number of Directors,
unless there are only two Directors in which case the quorum is two.
12.7
If the Company has only one Director the provisions
herein contained for meetings of Directors do not apply and such sole Director has full power
to represent and act for the Company in all matters as are not by the Act, the Memorandum
or the Articles required to be exercised by the Members. In lieu of minutes of a meeting
the sole Director shall record in writing and sign a note or memorandum of all matters requiring
a Resolution of Directors. Such a note or memorandum constitutes sufficient evidence of such
resolution for all purposes.
12.8
At meetings of Directors at which the Chairman of the
Board is present, he shall preside as chairman of the meeting. If there is no Chairman of
the Board or if the Chairman of the Board is not present, the Directors present shall choose
one of their number to be chairman of the meeting. If the Directors are unable to choose
a chairman for any reason, then the oldest individual Director present (and for this purpose
an alternate Director shall be deemed to be the same age as the Director that he represents)
shall take the chair. In the case of an equality of votes at a meeting of Directors, the
Chairman of the Board shall have a casting vote.
12.9
An action that may be taken by the Directors or a committee
of Directors at a meeting may also be taken by a Resolution of Directors or a resolution
of a committee of Directors consented to in writing by all Directors or by all members of
the committee, as the case may be, without the need for any notice. The consent may be in
the form of counterparts each counterpart being signed by one or more Directors. If the consent
is in one or more counterparts, and the counterparts bear different dates, then the resolution
shall take effect on the date upon which the last Director has consented to the resolution
by signed counterparts.
13
COMMITTEES
13.1
The Directors may, by Resolution of Directors, designate
one or more committees, each consisting of one or more Directors, and delegate one or more
of their powers, including the power to affix the Seal, to the committee.

consolidation or arrangement; or

13.3
Regulations 13.2(b) and (c) do not prevent a committee
of Directors, where authorised by the Resolution of Directors appointing such committee or
by a subsequent Resolution of Directors, from appointing a sub-committee and delegating powers
exercisable by the committee to the sub-committee.
13.4
The meetings and proceedings of each committee of Directors
consisting of 2 or more Directors shall be governed mutatis mutandis by the provisions of
the Articles regulating the proceedings of Directors so far as the same are not superseded
by any provisions in the Resolution of Directors establishing the committee.
14
OFFICERS AND AGENTS
14.1
The Company may by Resolution of Directors appoint officers
of the Company at such times as may be considered necessary or expedient. Such officers may
consist of a Chairman of the Board of Directors, a Chief Executive Officer, a President,
a Chief Financial Officer (in each case there may be more than one of such officers), one
or more vice-presidents, secretaries and treasurers and such other officers as may from time
to time be considered necessary or expedient. Any number of offices may be held by the same
person.
14.2
The officers shall perform such duties as are prescribed
at the time of their appointment subject to any modification in such duties as may be prescribed
thereafter by Resolution of Directors. In the absence of any specific prescription of duties
it shall be the responsibility of the Chairman of the Board (or Co-Chairman, as the case
may be) to preside at meetings of Directors and Members, the Chief Executive Officer (or
Co-Chief Executive Officer, as the case may be) to manage the day to day affairs of the Company,
the vice-presidents to act in order of seniority in the absence of the Chief Executive Officer
(or Co-Chief Executive Officer, as the case may be) but otherwise to perform such duties
as may be delegated to them by the Chief Executive Officer (or Co-Chief Executive Officer,
as the case may be), the secretaries to maintain the share register, minute books and records
(other than financial records) of the Company and to ensure compliance with all procedural
requirements imposed on the Company by Applicable Law, and the treasurer to be responsible
for the financial affairs of the Company.
14.3
The emoluments of all officers shall be fixed by Resolution
of Directors.
14.4
The officers of the Company shall hold office until
their death, resignation or removal. Any officer elected or appointed by the Directors may
be removed at any time, with or without cause, by Resolution of Directors. Any vacancy occurring
in any office of the Company may be filled by Resolution of Directors.
14.5
The Directors may, by a Resolution of Directors, appoint
any person, including a person who is a Director, to be an agent of the Company. An agent
of the Company shall have such powers and authority of the Directors, including the power
and authority to affix the Seal, as are set forth in the Articles or in the Resolution of
Directors appointing the agent, except that no agent has any power or authority with respect
to the matters specified in Regulation 13.1. The Resolution of Directors appointing an agent
may authorise the agent to appoint one or more substitutes or delegates to exercise some
or all of the powers conferred on the agent by the Company. The Directors may remove an agent
appointed by the Company and may revoke or vary a power conferred on him.
15
CONFLICT OF INTERESTS
15.1
A Director of the Company shall, forthwith after becoming
aware of the fact that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into
by the Company, disclose the interest to all other Directors of the Company.
15.2
For the purposes of Regulation 15.1, a disclosure to
all other Directors to the effect that a Director is a member, Director or officer of another
named entity or has a fiduciary relationship with respect to the entity or a named individual
and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction which may, after the date of the entry
or disclosure, be entered into with that entity or individual, is a sufficient disclosure
of interest in relation to that transaction.
Annex A-22
15.3
Provided that the requirements of Regulation 10.13 have
first been satisfied, a Director of the Company who is interested in a transaction entered
into or to be entered into by the Company may:
(a)
vote on a matter relating
to the transaction;
(b)
attend a meeting of Directors
at which a matter relating to the transaction arises and be included among the Directors
present at the meeting for the purposes of a quorum; and
(c)
sign a document on behalf
of the Company, or do any other thing in his capacity as a Director, that relates to the
transaction,
and, subject to compliance with the Act and these Articles
shall not, by reason of his office be accountable to the Company for any benefit which he derives from such transaction and no such transaction
shall be liable to be avoided on the grounds of any such interest or benefit.
16
INDEMNIFICATION
16.1
Subject to the limitations hereinafter provided and
to the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate
against all direct and indirect costs, fees and Expenses of any type or nature whatsoever,
any person who:
(a)
is or was a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is
or was a Director, officer, key employee, adviser of the Company or who at the request of
the Company; or
(b)
is or was, at the request
of the Company, serving as a Director of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for,
another Enterprise.
16.2
The indemnity in Regulation 16.1 only applies if the
relevant Indemnitee acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of
the Company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the Indemnitee had no reasonable cause
to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
16.3
The decision of the Directors as to whether an Indemnitee
acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company and
as to whether such Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful
is, in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of the Articles, unless a question
of law is involved.
16.4
The termination of any Proceedings by any judgment,
order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create
a presumption that the relevant Indemnitee did not act honestly and in good faith and with
a view to the best interests of the Company or that such Indemnitee had reasonable cause
to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
16.5
The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, purchase
or furnish similar protection or make other arrangements including, but not limited to, providing
a trust fund, letter of credit, or surety bond in relation to any Indemnitee or who at the
request of the Company is or was serving as a Director, officer or liquidator of, or in any
other capacity is or was acting for, another Enterprise, against any liability asserted against
the person and incurred by him in that capacity, whether or not the Company has or would
have had the power to indemnify him against the liability as provided in these Articles.

VOLUNTARY WINDING UP
The Company may by a Resolution of Members or by a Resolution of Directors
appoint a voluntary liquidator.
24
BUSINESS COMBINATION
24.1
Regulations 24.1 to 24.11 shall terminate upon consummation
of any Business Combination.
24.2
The Company has until 48 months from the closing of
the IPO to consummate a Business Combination. In the event that the Company does not consummate
a Business Combination within 48 months from the closing of the IPO (such date falling 48
months after the closing of the IPO being referred to as the Termination Date), such
failure shall trigger a redemption of the Public Shares (a Termination Date Redemption
Event) and the Directors of the Company shall take all such action necessary (i) cease
all operation except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible
but no more than ten (10) Business Days thereafter to redeem the Public Shares in cash at
a per-share amount equal to the applicable Per-Share Redemption Price; and (iii) as
promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the
Directors, liquidate and dissolve. In the event of a Termination Date Redemption Event, only
the holders of Public Shares shall be entitled to receive pro rata redeeming distributions
from the Trust Account (including interests but net of taxes payable and less up to US$100,000
of any interest earned to pay liquidation expenses) with respect to their Public Shares.
24.3
Unless a shareholder vote is required by law or the
rules of the Designated Stock Exchange, or, at the sole discretion of the Directors, the
Directors determine to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company
may enter into a Business Combination without submitting such Business Combination to its
Members for approval.
24.4
Although not required, in the event that a shareholder
vote is held, and a majority of the votes of the Shares entitled to vote thereon which were
present at the meeting to approve the Business Combination are voted for the approval of
such Business Combination, the Company shall be authorised to consummate the Business Combination.
24.5
(a)
In the event that a Business
Combination is consummated by the Company other than in connection with a shareholder vote
under Regulation 24.4, the Company will, subject to as provided below, offer to redeem the
Public Shares for cash in accordance with Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act
and subject to any limitations (including but not limited to cash requirements) set forth
in the definitive transaction agreements related to the Business Combination (the Tender
Redemption Offer), provided however that the Company shall not redeem those Shares held
by the Initial Shareholders or their affiliates pursuant to such Tender Redemption Offer,
whether or not such holders accept such Tender Redemption Offer. The Company will file tender
offer documents with the SEC prior to consummating the Business Combination which contain
substantially the same financial and other information about the Business Combination and
the redemption rights as would be required in a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation
14A of the Exchange Act. In accordance with the Exchange Act, the Tender Redemption Offer
will remain open for a minimum of 20 Business Days and the Company will not be permitted
to consummate its Business Combination until the expiry of such period. If in the event a
Member holding Public Shares accepts the Tender Redemption Offer and the Company has not
otherwise withdrawn the tender offer, the Company shall, promptly after the consummation
of the Business Combination, pay such redeeming Member, on a pro rata basis, cash equal to
the applicable Per-Share Redemption Price.
Annex A-26
(b)
In the event that a Business
Combination is consummated by the Company in connection with a shareholder vote held pursuant
to Regulation 24.4 in accordance with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of
the Exchange Act (the Redemption Offer), the Company will, subject as provided below,
offer to redeem the Public Shares, other than those Shares held by the Initial Shareholders
or their affiliates, regardless of whether such shares are voted for or against the Business
Combination, for cash, on a pro rata basis, at a per-share amount equal to the applicable
Per-Share Redemption Price, provided however that: (i) the Company shall not redeem those
Shares held by the Initial Shareholders or their affiliates pursuant to such Redemption Offer,
whether or not such holders accept such Redemption Offer; and (ii) any other redeeming Member
who either individually or together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom
he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as such term is defined under Section
13 of the Exchange Act) shall not be permitted to redeem, without the consent of the Directors,
more than fifteen percent (15%) of the total Public Shares sold in the IPO.
24.6
A holder of Public Shares shall be entitled to receive
distributions from the Trust Account only in the event of a Termination Date Redemption Event,
an Amendment Redemption Event or in the event he accepts a Tender Redemption Offer or a Redemption
Offer where the Business Combination is consummated. In no other circumstances shall a holder
of Public Shares have any right or interest of any kind in or to the Trust Account.
24.7
Following the IPO, the Company will not issue any Securities
(other than (i) Public Shares or (ii) Class A Shares issuable upon conversion of Class B
Shares pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof) prior to a Business Combination that would entitle
the holder thereof to (i) receive funds from the Trust Account; or (ii) vote on any Business
Combination.
24.8
In the event the Company seeks to complete a Business
Combination with a company that is affiliated with an Initial Shareholder, or our Board of
Directors cannot independently determine the fair market value of the target business or
businesses, the Company will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm
or another independent firm that commonly renders valuation opinions or an independent accounting
firm that such a Business Combination is fair to the Company from a financial point of view.
24.9
The Company will not effectuate a Business Combination
with another “blank cheque” company or a similar company with nominal operations.
24.10
Immediately after the Company’s IPO, that amount
of the net proceeds received by the Company from the IPO (including proceeds of any exercise
of the underwriter’s over-allotment option) and from the simultaneous private placement
by the Company as is stated in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 filed
with the SEC (such registration statement at the time it initially goes effective, the Registration
Statement) to be deposited in the Trust Account shall be so deposited and thereafter
held in the Trust Account until released in the event of a Business Combination or otherwise
in accordance with this Regulation 24. Neither the Company nor any officer, Director or employee
of the Company will disburse any of the proceeds held in the Trust Account until the earlier
of (i) a Business Combination, or (ii) a Termination Date Redemption Event or in payment
of the acquisition price for any shares which the Company elects to purchase, redeem or otherwise
acquire in accordance with this Regulation 24, in each case in accordance with the trust
agreement governing the Trust Account; provided that interest earned on the Trust Account
(as described in the Registration Statement) may be released from time to time to the Company
to pay the Company’s tax obligations and up to US$100,000 of such interest may also
be released from the Trust Account to pay any liquidation expenses of the Company if applicable.
Annex A-27
24.11
In the event the Directors of the Company propose any
amendment to Regulation 24 or to any of the other rights of the Ordinary Shares as set out
at Clause 6.1 of the Memorandum prior to, but not for the purposes of approving or in conjunction
with the consummation of, a Business Combination that would affect the substance or timing
of the Company’s obligations as described in this Regulation 24 to pay or to offer
to pay the Per-Share Redemption Price to any holder of the Public Shares (an Amendment)
and such Amendment is (i) duly approved by a Resolution of Members; and (ii) the amended
Memorandum and Articles reflecting such amendment are to be filed at the Registry of Corporate
Affairs (an Approved Amendment), the Company will offer to redeem the Public Shares
of any Member for cash, on a pro rata basis, at a per-share amount equal to the applicable
Per-Share Redemption Price (an Amendment Redemption Event), provided however that
the Company shall not redeem those Shares held by the Initial Shareholders or their affiliates
pursuant to such offer, whether or not such holders accept such offer.

Business Opportunities
25.1
In recognition and anticipation of the facts that: (a)
directors, managers, officers, members, partners, managing members, employees and/or agents
of one or more members of the Sponsor Group (each of the foregoing, a Sponsor Group Related
Person) may serve as directors and/or officers of the Company; and (b) the Sponsor Group
engages, and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of
business as those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business
activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Company, directly or indirectly,
may engage, the provisions under this heading “Business Opportunities” are set
forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Company as they may involve
the Members and the Sponsor Group Related Persons, and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities
of the Company and its officers, directors and Members in connection therewith.

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the
directors and officers of the Company shall have no duty, except and to the extent expressly
assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar
business activities or lines of business as the Company. To the fullest extent permitted
by Applicable Law, and subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, the Company
renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity
to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity
offered to any director and officer of the Company, on the one hand, and the Company, on
the other, unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such director or officer of the
Company solely in their capacity as an Officer or director of the Company and the opportunity
is one the Company is permitted to complete on a reasonable basis.
25.3
Except as provided elsewhere in the Articles, the Company
hereby renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity
to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity
for both the Company and the Sponsor Group, about which a director and/or officer of the
Company who is also an Sponsor Group Related Person acquires knowledge.
25.4
To the extent a court might hold that the conduct of
any activity related to a corporate opportunity that is renounced in this Article to be a
breach of duty to the Company or its Members, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by Applicable Law, any and all claims and causes of action that the Company may
have for such activities. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the provisions
of this Article apply equally to activities conducted in the future and that have been conducted
in the past.
