Osprey Acquisition Corp. III, a special purpose acquisition company headquartered in Philadelphia, has priced an initial public offering of 26,100,000 units at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $261,000,000.

The units are scheduled to commence trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol "OSPRU" on July 1, 2026. The offering is expected to reach closing on or about July 2, 2026, according to the filing that accompanied the pricing.

Each unit comprises one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant. When aggregated into whole warrants, each warrant will entitle its holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. After the units are separated, the underlying Class A ordinary shares and warrants are anticipated to trade independently under the symbols "OSPR" and "OSPRW," respectively.

The company was established to seek a business combination - including a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition or similar transaction. Leadership has articulated a primary investment focus on companies operating in energy systems, AI-driven optimization and global connectivity infrastructure, indicating the thematic areas that will guide prospective deal sourcing.

Cohen as Co-Executive Chairmen; Edward E. Cohen as Vice-Chairman; Thomas C. Elliott as Chief Financial Officer; and Jeffrey F. Brotman as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Legal Officer.

Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. is serving as the sole book-running manager on the transaction. The underwriter has been granted a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,915,000 units at the IPO price for the purpose of covering over-allotments.

Risks

  • The company is a blank check vehicle formed to complete a future business combination - success depends on identifying and executing a suitable transaction, affecting sectors targeted for acquisition such as energy systems, AI optimization and connectivity infrastructure.
  • The underwriter's 45-day option to purchase additional units could lead to dilution if exercised, which may impact post-listing share dynamics.
  • Timing and completion of the offering and any subsequent business combination are subject to regulatory and market developments, introducing uncertainty for investors in the SPAC and the sectors it targets.
