GSR III Acquisition Corp.
5900 Balcones Drive, Suite 100
Austin, TX 78731

Dear GSR III Acquisition Corp. Shareholder:

You are cordially invited to attend an extraordinary general meeting of GSR III Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“GSR III”), which will be held on            , 2025 at            , Eastern Time, at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP located at 10250 Constellation Blvd., Suite 1100, Los Angeles, CA 90067 and via a virtual meeting, or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be adjourned (the “General Meeting”). The accompanying proxy statement/prospectus related to the General Meeting is dated            , 2025, and is expected to be first mailed or otherwise delivered to GSR III shareholders on or about            , 2025.

On April 21, 2025, GSR III and Terra Innovatum s.r.l., an Italian limited liability company (Italian Società a responsabilità limitata) (“Terra Innovatum”) entered into a business combination agreement (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), contemplating several transactions and reorganizations in connection with which GSR III will become a wholly owned subsidiary of, Terra Innovatum Global N.V., a Dutch public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) (“PubCo”).

At the General Meeting, GSR III shareholders will be asked to consider and vote upon: (i) a proposal, as an ordinary resolution, to adopt and approve the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Business Combination Proposal” or “Proposal No. 1”) and (ii) a proposal, as a special resolution to authorize and approve the Merger and the Plan of Merger (each as defined below) between GSR III and a Cayman Island entity formed as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Terra MergerCo”) in the form tabled at the General Meeting, which will be in the form attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B (the “Plan of Merger”) (the “Merger Proposal” or “Proposal No. 2”). The GSR III Board unanimously approved the Business Combination Agreement and determined that the Business Combination and Plan of Merger are advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, GSR III and its shareholders. There are no arrangements, agreements or understanding between the Sponsor, GSR III or its officers, directors or affiliates with respect to determining whether to proceed with a de-SPAC transaction.

As further described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, upon consummation of the Business Combination, among other things:

        Terra Innovatum will cause to be formed an Italian limited liability company (Italian Società a responsabilità limitata) with the same quotaholders in the same ownership percentages as Terra Innovatum (“New TopCo”);

        Following the formation of New TopCo, Terra Innovatum will effectuate a restructuring whereby the Terra Innovatum Quotaholders will contribute 100% of their respective quotas in the capital of Terra Innovatum to New TopCo;

        As a result of the Contribution, Terra Innovatum will become a wholly owned subsidiary of New TopCo;

        Following the Contribution, New TopCo will convert into a Dutch public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) (“Conversion”), for the purpose of participating in the Transactions and becoming the holding company for Terra Innovatum and Terra MergerCo (as defined below) (the Contribution and the Conversion collectively, the “Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring,” and such reorganization plan, the “Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring Plan”);

        New TopCo will establish, Terra MererCo, a Cayman Island subsidiary as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of New TopCo; and

        As part of the business combination, Terra MergerCo will merge with and into GSR III (the “Merger”), with GSR III as the surviving company in the merger and, after giving effect to the Merger and the related share exchange, GSR III will become a wholly owned Subsidiary of PubCo and each issued and outstanding GSR III Ordinary Share will be exchanged into one PubCo Ordinary Share.

 

Table of Contents

Additionally, in connection with their entry into the Business Combination Agreement, GSR III and Terra Innovatum entered into a letter agreement with GSR III Sponsor LLC, an Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”) and certain shareholders of GSR III, including the current independent directors of GSR III (together with the Sponsor, the “GSR III Initial Shareholders”) pursuant to which, among other things, each GSR III Initial Shareholder has agreed to (a) vote in favor of all the transaction proposals (including the Merger) to be voted upon at the General Meeting, including the approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (b) waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the governing documents of GSR III or any other anti-dilution or similar protections with respect to the Class B Shares, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein.

In addition to the Business Combination Proposal, GSR III shareholders are being asked to consider and vote on a proposal, as an ordinary resolution, to postpone or adjourn the General Meeting to a later date or dates (A) in order to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining GSR III shareholder approval of the transaction proposals to be voted upon at the General Meeting, (B) if as of the time for which the General Meeting is scheduled, there are insufficient GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the General Meeting, (C) to allow reasonable time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosures that GSR III has determined, based on the advice of outside legal counsel, is reasonably likely to be required under applicable law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the GSR III shareholders prior to the General Meeting, (D) if GSR III shareholders redeem an amount of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares such that the condition to closing that the GSR III Available Cash be equal to or greater than $25,000,000 will not be satisfied, or (E) as otherwise deemed necessary by the chairman of the General Meeting in his sole discretion (the “Adjournment Proposal” or “Proposal No. 3”). Each of these proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which each shareholder is urged to read carefully. In connection with its approval of the Business Combination Agreement, the GSR III Board obtained a fairness opinion from EntrepreneurShares LLC. (“ERShares”), dated April 7, 2025, which provides that, as of that date and based on and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and other matters set forth therein, the consideration to be paid to the shareholders of GSR III in the Merger is fair, from a financial point of view, to GSR III and the holders of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares.

The GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares, GSR III Public Units and GSR III Rights (each term as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) are currently listed on the Nasdaq stock market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “GSRT,” “GSRTU” and “GSRTR,” respectively. Upon the Closing, the GSR III securities will be delisted from Nasdaq. PubCo intends to apply to list the PubCo Ordinary Shares (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) on Nasdaq under the symbols “NKLR,” upon the Closing. We cannot assure you that the PubCo Ordinary Shares will be approved for listing on Nasdaq.

Investing in PubCo’s securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 20 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a discussion of information that should be considered in connection with an investment in PubCo’s securities.

With respect to GSR III and the holders of the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares, the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus serves as a:

        proxy statement for the General Meeting, at which GSR III shareholders will vote on, among other things, a proposal to adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Business Combination, the Merger and the Plan of Merger; and

        prospectus for the PubCo Ordinary Shares that GSR III shareholders will receive in the Business Combination.

Pursuant to GSR III’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, GSR III is providing its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem, upon the Closing, GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares then held by them for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two business days prior to the Closing) in the Trust Account that holds the proceeds (including interest accrued thereon, which shall be net of taxes payable) of the GSR III IPO and certain of the proceeds of the sale of the GSR III Private Placement Units (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus). Redemptions referred to herein shall take effect as repurchases under GSR III’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. The per-share amount that GSR III will distribute to shareholders who properly redeem their GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares will not be reduced by the aggregate deferred underwriting commission of approximately $9.2 million that GSR III will pay to the underwriters of the GSR III IPO (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) upon consummation of the Business Combination or any transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, based on the fair value of marketable securities held in the Trust Account of approximately $233 million

 

Table of Contents

as of March 31, 2025, the estimated per Class A Share redemption price would have been approximately $10.17. The redemption rights include the requirement that any beneficial owner on whose behalf a redemption right is being exercised must identify himself, herself or itself in writing and provide his, her or its legal name, phone number and address to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Transfer Agent”) in order to validly redeem his, her or its shares. Public shareholders may elect to redeem their shares regardless of whether they vote “for” or “against” the Business Combination Proposal. A public shareholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, in excess of 15% of the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares sold in the GSR III IPO, without GSR III’s prior consent. GSR III has no specified maximum redemption threshold under its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, other than the aforementioned 15% threshold. Each redemption of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares by GSR III’s public shareholders will reduce the amount in the Trust Account. The Business Combination Agreement provides that GSR III’s and the Terra Entities obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the balance in the Trust Account (net of the Cash Redemption Amount), together with any transaction financing (if any) and less transaction expenses being equal to or greater than $25,000,000.

The conditions to closing in the Business Combination Agreement are for the sole benefit of the parties thereto and may be waived by such parties. If, as a result of redemptions of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares by GSR III’s public shareholders, the GSR III Available Cash is not met or is not waived, then Terra Innovatum may elect not to consummate the Business Combination. In addition, in no event will GSR III redeem its GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001, as provided in the GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and as required as a closing condition to each party’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Holders of outstanding GSR III Rights do not have redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination. Unless otherwise specified, the information in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus assumes that none of GSR III’s public shareholders exercise their redemption rights with respect to their GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares.

The following table illustrates the estimated ownership levels in PubCo immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination under redemption scenarios, excluding the potential dilutive effects of the additional shares for Terra Innovatum Quotaholders upon conversion of PubCo’s Preferred Shares in all scenarios:

Sponsor shall not Transfer any of its PubCo Ordinary Shares (“Sponsor Lock-Up Shares”) during the period commencing after the Closing Date (the “Lock-Up Period”); provided that, (i) 25% of the Sponsor Lock-Up Shares shall be released upon the earlier of the PubCo Trading Price being greater than $12.00 or PubCo issuing its first quarterly earnings release that occurs at least 120 days after the Closing, (ii) an additional 25% of the Sponsor Lock-Up Shares shall be released upon the earlier of the PubCo Trading Price being greater than $14.00 or PubCo issuing its second quarterly earnings release that occurs at least 120 days after the Closing, (iii) a further 25% of the Sponsor Lock-Up Shares shall be released upon the earlier of the PubCo Trading Price being greater than $16.00 or PubCo issuing its third quarterly earnings release that occurs at least 120 days after the Closing and (iv) all the remaining Sponsor Lock-Up Shares shall be released upon the earlier of the PubCo Trading Price being greater than $18.00 or PubCo issuing its fourth quarterly earnings release that occurs at least 120 days after the Closing (the foregoing restrictions, the “Lock-Up”).

Compensation to be Received by the Sponsor, its Affiliates and Promoters at Closing

At Closing, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the following shall be received by the Sponsor and its affiliates and promoters:

        PubCo will repay to Sponsor, on GSR III’s behalf, all outstanding loans or other obligations, none of which were outstanding as of March 31, 2025; and

        GSR III has agreed to make a payment in the amount of $9.2 million to SPAC Advisory Partners, LLC (“SPAC Advisory”), an affiliate of the Sponsor and some of our directors and officers.

In addition, Sponsor and its members hold 5,750,000 Founder Shares and will hold 5,750,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares issued following the Closing. Thirteen institutional investors and one accredited individual investor (collectively, the “Sponsor Members”) (none of which are affiliated with any member of our management, Sponsor or any other investor), have purchased membership interests equal to an aggregate of 3,252,645 Founder Shares, which will be transferred to such holders at Closing.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination

Since the Sponsor, its affiliates and the other Initial Shareholders have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of the other holders of GSR III Ordinary Shares, a conflict of interest may exist in determining whether the Business Combination with Terra Innovatum is appropriate. Such interests include that the Sponsor, its affiliates and the other Initial Shareholders, will lose their entire investment in GSR III if GSR III does not complete a business combination. When you consider the recommendation of the Board in favor of the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor, its affiliates and the other Initial Shareholders, have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to (which may conflict with), those of GSR III’s shareholders generally.

These conflicts of interest include, among other things, the interests listed below:

        Our sponsor and some of our directors and officers are officers, partners or affiliates of SPAC Advisory, who is entitled to a deferred underwriting fee of $9.2 million in connection with the GSR III initial public offering;

        the fact that Sponsor and the other Initial Shareholders beneficially own 5,750,000 Founder Shares as of the date hereof, representing approximately 20% of the voting power of GSR III Ordinary Shares, and Sponsor and the other Initial Shareholders are required by a letter agreement to vote those shares in favor of the Business Combination;

        the fact that the Sponsor and the other Initial Shareholders paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 5,750,000 Founder Shares and such securities will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination with an aggregate market value of approximately $65.1 million, based on the closing price of the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares of $11.32 on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC on June 24, 2025);

        the fact that given the differential in the purchase price that the Sponsor and the other Initial Shareholders paid for the Founder Shares as compared to the price of the GSR III Public Units sold in the GSR IIII initial public offering, the Sponsor and the other Initial Shareholders may earn a positive rate of return on their investment even if the PubCo Ordinary Shares trade below the price initially paid for the GSR III Public Units in the IPO and the Public Shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the completion of the Business Combination;

        the fact that the Sponsor and GSR III Initial Shareholders purchased 422,500 GSR III Private Placement Units for $4,225,000 in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, which, upon exercise, the shares underlying the Private Placement Units will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination with an aggregate market value of approximately $4.8 million, based on the closing price of the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares of $11.32 on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC on June 24, 2025;

        the fact that the Sponsor and the other Initial Stockholders will lose their entire investment in GSR III and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if an initial business combination is not consummated by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor) or, if such period is extended, within such extended period;

        the fact that GSR III’s officers and directors are not required to, and will not, commit their full time to GSR III’s affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between GSR III’s operations and the proposed Business Combination and their other businesses, on the other hand. In addition, certain of GSR III’s officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary and contractual duties to other entities, and therefore could have conflicts of interest in determining whether to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, subject to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. GSR III does not believe that duties have had any material impact on the identification of companies that may be appropriate acquisition targets;

        the fact that Sponsor and the other Initial Shareholders have entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which they have registration rights to require PubCo to register a sale of any of its securities held by them;

 

Table of Contents

        the continued indemnification of GSR III’s directors and officers and the continuation of GSR III’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination; and

        the fact that GSR III may be entitled to distribute or pay over funds held by GSR III outside the Trust Account to the Sponsor or any of its affiliates prior to Closing.

In addition to the foregoing, the directors and executive officers of Terra Innovatum, have interests that are different from (and which may conflict with) the interests of GSR III’s shareholders generally.

These conflicts of interest include, among other things, the interests listed below:

        the fact that the current executive officers will become executive officers of PubCo and will enter into employment agreements at Closing with one of the Terra Entities;

        the fact that if the Business Combination fails, Terra Innovatum will lose an opportunity to become a publicly listed company, along with the associated benefits such as improved liquidity, brand visibility, and access to broader investor pools;

        the fact that the Business Combination aligns with Terra Innovatum’s long-term vision for expansion, and failure to complete the Business Combination could significantly delay or impair its ability to commercialize the SOLO;

        the fact that the executive officers are also significant shareholders of Terra Innovatum and therefore, stand to benefit from the increased valuation following consummation of the Business Combination;

        The fact that the executive officers will still continue to control the company post-Business Combination which may allow them to make decisions that benefit their personal interests, which may not always align with those of unaffiliated shareholders;

GSR III is providing the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card to its shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the General Meeting and at any adjournments or postponements of the General Meeting. Information about the General Meeting, the Business Combination and other related business to be considered by the GSR III shareholders at the General Meeting is included in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. Whether or not you plan to attend the General Meeting, all GSR III shareholders are urged to read carefully and in their entirety the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes thereto and the accompanying financial statements of Terra Innovatum, PubCo and GSR III. In particular, you are urged to read carefully the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 20 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

After careful consideration, the GSR III Board has approved the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, and recommends that GSR III shareholders vote “FOR” adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and approval of the Business Combination, the Merger and the Plan of Merger, and “FOR” all other proposals presented to the GSR III shareholders in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. When you consider the GSR III Board’s recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that certain GSR III directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. Please see the section entitled “The Business Combination — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for additional information.

The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being, where a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the issued ordinary shares who are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the General Meeting. The approval of the Merger Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a two-thirds majority of the issued ordinary shares who are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the General Meeting. The Business Combination is not structured so that approval of at least a majority of unaffiliated public shareholders of GSR III is required.

 

Table of Contents

Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the General Meeting, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus to ensure that your shares are represented at the General Meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the General Meeting. The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement will be consummated only if the Business Combination Proposal is approved at the General Meeting. The Closing is conditioned upon the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted “FOR” each of the proposals presented at the General Meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not attend the General Meeting in person, the effect will be that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the General Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record and you attend the General Meeting and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw your proxy at that time and vote in person.

TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST DEMAND THAT GSR III REDEEM YOUR SHARES FOR A PRO RATA PORTION OF THE FUNDS HELD IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT AND TENDER YOUR SHARES TO THE TRANSFER AGENT AT LEAST TWO BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO THE INITIALLY SCHEDULED VOTE AT THE GENERAL MEETING. THE REDEMPTION RIGHTS INCLUDE THE REQUIREMENT THAT ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER ON WHOSE BEHALF A REDEMPTION RIGHT IS BEING EXERCISED MUST IDENTIFY HIMSELF, HERSELF OR ITSELF IN WRITING AND PROVIDE HIS, HER OR ITS LEGAL NAME, PHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS TO THE TRANSFER AGENT IN ORDER TO VALIDLY REDEEM HIS, HER OR ITS SHARES. YOU MAY TENDER YOUR SHARES BY EITHER DELIVERING YOUR SHARE CERTIFICATE TO THE TRANSFER AGENT OR BY DELIVERING YOUR SHARES ELECTRONICALLY USING DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY’S DWAC (DEPOSIT WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN) SYSTEM. IF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION IS NOT COMPLETED, THEN THESE SHARES WILL NOT BE REDEEMED FOR CASH. IF YOU HOLD THE SHARES IN STREET NAME, YOU WILL NEED TO INSTRUCT THE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE AT YOUR BANK OR BROKER TO WITHDRAW THE SHARES FROM YOUR ACCOUNT IN ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS.

On behalf of the GSR III Board, I would like to thank you for your support of GSR III and look forward to a successful completion of the Business Combination.

 

Sincerely,

   

 

   

Gus Garcia

Table of Contents

The above matters are more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which also includes, as Annex A, a copy of the Business Combination Agreement and as Annex B, a copy of the Plan of Merger. You are urged to read carefully and in their entirety the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes thereto and accompanying financial statements of Terra Innovatum, PubCo and GSR III.

The record date for the General Meeting for GSR III shareholders is            , 2025. Only GSR III shareholders at the close of business on that date may vote at the General Meeting or any adjournment thereof. GSR III shareholders are entitled to one vote on each proposal presented at the General Meeting for each GSR III Ordinary Share held on the date of the General Meeting.

Pursuant to GSR III’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, GSR III is providing its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem, upon the Closing, GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares then held by them for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two business days prior to the Closing) in the Trust Account that holds the proceeds (including interest accrued thereon, which shall be net of taxes payable) of the GSR III IPO and certain of the proceeds of the sale of the GSR III Private Placement Units (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus). Redemptions referred to herein shall take effect as repurchases under GSR III’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. The per-share amount that GSR III will distribute to shareholders who properly redeem their GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares will not be reduced by the aggregate deferred underwriting commission of approximately $9.2 million that PubCo will pay to the underwriters of the GSR III IPO (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) upon consummation of the Business Combination or any transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, based on the fair value of marketable securities held in the Trust Account of approximately $233 million as of March 31, 2025, the estimated per Class A Share redemption price would have been approximately $10.17. The redemption rights include the requirement that any beneficial owner on whose behalf a redemption right is being exercised must identify himself, herself or itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide his, her or its legal name, phone number and address to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company in order to validly redeem his, her or its shares. Public shareholders may elect to redeem their shares even if they vote “for” or “against” the Business Combination Proposal or do not vote at all. A public shareholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, in excess of 15% of the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares sold in the GSR III IPO, without GSR III’s prior consent. GSR III has no specified maximum redemption threshold under its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, other than the aforementioned 15% threshold. Each redemption of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares by GSR III’s public shareholders will reduce the amount in the Trust Account. The Business Combination Agreement provides that Terra Innovatum obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount of cash in the Trust Account (net of the Cash Redemption Amount) being at least equal to $25,000,000.

The Closing is conditioned upon the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being, where a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the issued ordinary shares who are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the General Meeting. The approval of the Merger Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a two-thirds majority of the issued ordinary shares who are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the General Meeting. The Business Combination is not structured so that approval of at least a majority of unaffiliated public shareholders of GSR III is required. See “The Business Combination — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for additional information. The GSR III Board recommends that you vote “FOR” each of these proposals.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This proxy statement/prospectus contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements provide the respective current expectations or forecasts of future events of Terra Innovatum and GSR III. Forward-looking statements include statements about Terra Innovatum’s and GSR III’s respective expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, intentions, assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts. Words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will” and “would,” or similar words or phrases, or the negatives of those words or phrases, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Examples of forward-looking statements in this proxy statement/prospectus include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Terra Innovatum’s disclosure concerning Terra Innovatum’s operations, cash flows, financial position and dividend policy.

Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places in this proxy statement/prospectus including, without limitation, in the sections titled “Terra Innovatum’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “GSR III’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Business of GSR III and Certain Information About GSR III” and “Business of Terra Innovatum and Certain Information About Terra Innovatum.” Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

        Terra Innovatum’s ability to meet expectations related to its products, technologies and services and its ability to attract and retain revenue-generating customers and execute on its growth plans;

        the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Business Combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect Terra Innovatum or the expected benefits of the Business Combination, if not obtained;

        the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination;

        the ability of GSR III prior to the Business Combination, and PubCo following the Business Combination, to maintain the listing of GSR III’s securities on Nasdaq;

        costs related to the Business Combination;

        the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, including the approval of the definitive the Business Combination Agreement by the shareholders of GSR III;

        Terra Innovatum’s estimated unit economics, including assumptions around revenue, costs and deployment schedule;

        the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against GSR III or Terra Innovatum related to the Business Combination;

        the attraction and retention of qualified directors, officers, employees and key personnel of GSR III and Terra Innovatum prior to the Business Combination, and PubCo following the Business Combination;

        the impact from future regulatory, judicial, and legislative changes in Terra Innovatum’s industry;

        other factors discussed elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and in the section in “Risk Factors.”

Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the factors described in “Risk Factors” in this proxy statement/prospectus. Accordingly, you should not rely on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Terra Innovatum and GSR III undertake no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should, however, review the factors and risks Terra Innovatum describes in the reports it will file from time to time with the SEC after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

Enforcement of Civil Liabilities against PubCo

Following the Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring, PubCo will be a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap, or N.V.) organized under the laws of the Netherlands with its corporate seat (statutaire zetel) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Although PubCo has not elected to be treated as a foreign private issuer, a majority of its directors and executive officer named in this proxy statement/prospectus, reside outside of the United States. All or a substantial portion of the assets of such individuals and of PubCo are located outside of the United States. Certain disputes between, among others, our (former) directors and us must be exclusively submitted to Dutch courts. As a result, investors in our common shares may have difficulty enforcing their rights.

The United States and the Netherlands do not currently have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments, other than arbitration awards, in civil and commercial matters. Accordingly, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by U.S. courts based on civil liability, whether or not predicated solely upon the U.S. federal securities laws, would not be directly enforceable in the Netherlands. However, if the party in whose favor such final judgment is rendered brings a new suit in a competent court in the Netherlands, that party may submit to the Dutch court the final judgment that has been rendered in the United States. A judgment by a federal or state court in the United States against us will neither be recognized nor enforced by a Dutch court but such judgment may serve as evidence in a similar action in a Dutch court. Additionally, based on Dutch Supreme Court case law, a Dutch court will generally grant the same judgment without a review of the merits of the underlying claim if that judgment: (1) resulted from legal proceedings compatible with Dutch notions of due process; (2) does not contravene public policy of the Netherlands; (3) was a decision of a court that has accepted its judgment on internationally accepted principles of private international law; and (5) is not incompatible with (a) a prior judgment of a Dutch court rendered in a dispute between the same parties, or (b) a prior judgment of a foreign court rendered in a dispute between the same parties, concerning the same subject matter and based on the same cause of action, provided that the prior judgment qualifies for recognition in the Netherlands.

Under Dutch law, in the event that a third party is liable to PubCo, only PubCo itself can bring civil action against that party. The individual shareholders do not have the right to bring an action on behalf of PubCo. Only in the event that the cause for the liability of a third party to PubCo also constitutes a tortious act directly against a shareholder, that shareholder does have an individual right of action against such third party in its own name. The Dutch Civil Code does provide for the possibility to initiate such actions collectively. A foundation or an association whose objective is to protect the rights of a group of persons having similar interests can act as a class representative and has standing to commence proceedings if certain criteria are met. All members of the class who are residents of the Netherlands and who did not opt out will in principle be bound to the outcome of the case. Unless otherwise ordered by a competent court, residents of other countries must in principle actively opt in in order to be able to benefit from the class action. If a settlement is reached, a Dutch court may declare the settlement agreement binding upon the relevant class, subject to an opt-out choice. An individual injured party may also itself institute a civil claim for damages. Even though Dutch law does not provide for derivative suits, directors and officers can still be subject to liability under U.S. securities laws.

Subject to the foregoing and service of process in accordance with applicable treaties, investors may be able to enforce in the Netherlands judgments in civil and commercial matters obtained from U.S. federal or state courts. We believe that U.S. investors may originate actions in a court of competent jurisdiction in the Netherlands. There is doubt as to whether a Dutch court would impose civil liability on us, the members of our board of directors, our officers or certain experts named herein in an original action predicated solely upon the U.S. federal securities laws brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the Netherlands against us or such members, officers or experts, respectively.

Enforcement of Civil Liabilities against GSR III

Because GSR III is currently incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests and your ability to protect your rights in U.S. federal courts may be limited. For example, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon GSR III’s directors or executive officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the U.S. courts against GSR III’s directors or officers.

xvi

Table of Contents

GSR III’s corporate affairs are governed by the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Cayman Islands Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. GSR III’s directors’ fiduciary duties and the rights of shareholders to take action against the directors under the laws of the Cayman Islands are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands, which is derived in part from relatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of GSR III’s shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of directors under Cayman Islands law are different from what they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and certain states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders derivative action in a federal court of the United States.

The courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against GSR III judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against GSR III predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

GSR III shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of GSR III or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a United States company.

(i)     Business Combination Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal by ordinary resolution that the Business Combination Agreement (a draft of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A) and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby be authorized, approved and confirmed in all respects (Proposal No. 1).

Table of Contents

(iii)   Adjournment Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal by ordinary resolution to adjourn the General Meeting to a later date or dates (A) in order to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining GSR III shareholder approval of the transaction proposals to be voted upon at the General Meeting, (B) if as of the time for which the General Meeting is scheduled, there are insufficient GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the General Meeting, (C) to allow reasonable time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosures that GSR III has determined, based on the advice of outside legal counsel, is reasonably likely to be required under applicable law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the GSR III shareholders prior to the General Meeting (D) if GSR III shareholders redeem an amount of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares such that the GSR III Available Cash Condition is not satisfied (Proposal No. 3), or (E) at the discretion of the Chairman of the General Meeting.

Q.     Are the proposals conditioned on one another?

A.     The Closing is conditioned upon the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal. The Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal are conditioned upon the approval of each other. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

It is important for you to note that in the event the Business Combination Proposal or the Merger Proposal does not receive the requisite vote for approval, then GSR III will not consummate the Business Combination.

If GSR III does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor), GSR III will be required to dissolve and liquidate the Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such Trust Account to its public shareholders.

Q.     Why is GSR III proposing the Business Combination?

A.     GSR III is a blank check company, which was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on May 10, 2023. It was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more target businesses. Although GSR III may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business, industry, sector or geographical region for purposes of consummating an initial business combination, GSR III has focused on industry sectors that can benefit from its management team’s established global relationships and operating experience. GSR III’s management team brings together extensive and invaluable expertise driven by a focus on SPAC transactions, both from the perspective of a target company as well as that of a SPAC sponsor. GSR III’s team has significant hands-on experience working with private companies in preparing for and executing an initial public offering, and working closely with these companies to continue their transformation into scaled businesses with attractive performance metrics, which we believe would help create value in the public markets:

GSR III’s acquisition selection process leverages its management team’s and its advisors’ network of potential transaction sources, ranging from industry executives, private owners and entrepreneurs, private equity professionals and our extensive network of advisors and consultants across various sectors.

Consistent with its strategy, GSR III identified the following general criteria and guidelines that it believes are important in evaluating potential target businesses. GSR III sought to acquire companies with one or more of the following core attributes:

        provide visibility into financials, including a path to sustained long-term profitability and attractive cash flow dynamics;

        enjoy leading positions in their markets with sustainable competitive advantages and barriers to market entry;

        have potential to grow both organically and through acquisitions;

xx

Table of Contents

        have an experienced and capable management team;

        address issues related to environmental, social, and governance concerns; and

        would benefit uniquely from GSR III’s capabilities.

Based on its due diligence investigations of Terra Innovatum and the industry in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by Terra Innovatum in the course of negotiations, GSR III believes that Terra Innovatum meets the criteria and guidelines listed above. Please see the section entitled “The Business Combination — GSR III Board’s Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination” for additional information.

Q.     Why is GSR III providing shareholders with the opportunity to vote on the Business Combination?

A.     The approval of the Business Combination is required under the GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, and the Merger requires the approval of GSR III shareholders under Cayman Islands law. In addition, such approvals are also conditions to the Closing under the Business Combination Agreement. Additionally, under its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, GSR III must provide all public holders of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares with the opportunity to have their public shares redeemed upon the consummation of its initial business combination either in conjunction with a tender offer or in conjunction with a shareholder vote. For business and other reasons, GSR III has elected to provide its shareholders with the opportunity to have their public shares redeemed in connection with a shareholder vote rather than a tender offer. The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify himself, herself or itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide his, her or its legal name, phone number and address to the Transfer Agent in order to validly redeem his, her or its shares. Therefore, GSR III is seeking to obtain the approval of its shareholders of the Business Combination and also allow its public shareholders to effectuate redemptions of their GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the Closing in accordance with the GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

Q.     What is Terra Innovatum?

A.     Terra Innovatum was incorporated under the laws of Italy on September 23, 2021 (“Inception”) and is headquartered in Lucca, Italy. Terra Innovatum is a nuclear energy company developing smaller, cheaper, and safer advanced clean energy solutions. Terra Innovatum’s flagship product, the SOLO Micro-Modular Nuclear Reactor, is designed to operate continuously at full power for 15 years without refueling, with the potential for a core swap to extend the operational cycle up to 45 years. Its modular design aims to achieve maximum energy efficiency while significantly reducing the levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Terra Innovatum is committed to delivering carbon-free energy solutions and aims to achieve commercial deployment of the SOLO Micro-Modular Nuclear Reactor by 2028 to address the growing global demand for sustainable and reliable energy. For further information, see “Business of Terra Innovatum and Certain Information About Terra Innovatum.”

Q.     What will happen in the Business Combination?

A.     To effect the Business Combination, among other things, Terra Innovatum, GSR III and their respective Affiliates will effect or cause to be effected (in each case as applicable) (i) the Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring and (ii) the Merger. As a result of the Business Combination, PubCo will become the ultimate parent company of GSR III. Please see the section entitled “The Business Combination” for additional information.

Q.     Following the Business Combination, will GSR III’s securities continue to trade on a stock exchange?

A.     No. GSR III anticipates that, upon consummation of the Business Combination, the GSR III Public Units will automatically separate into their component parts, the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares and GSR III Rights, and will be delisted from Nasdaq and GSR III will be deregistered under the Exchange Act. However, PubCo intends to apply to list the PubCo Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq under the symbols “NKLR” following the Closing.

xxi

Table of Contents

Q.     Is the Business Combination the first step in a “going private” transaction?

A.     No. GSR III does not intend for the Business Combination to be the first step in a “going private” transaction. One of the primary purposes of the Business Combination is to provide a platform for Terra Innovatum to access the U.S. public markets.

Q.     Will the management of Terra Innovatum change in the Business Combination?

A.      The current executive officers of Terra Innovatum are Alessandro Petruzzi, Chief Executive Officer, Cesare Frepoli, Chief Operating Officer, Marco Cherubini, Chief Technical Officer, Massimo Morichi, Chief Strategy Officer, Guillaume Moyen, Chief Financial Officer and Giordano Morichi, Chief Business Development Officer. These individuals are intended to continue to serve as Terra Innovatum’s executive officers upon the Closing.

Upon the Closing, PubCo will be governed through a single-tiered board of directors comprised of seven members, with each director subject to annual re-election and appointed for a term ending at the close of the first annual general meeting following his or her appointment.

Please see the section entitled “Board of Directors and Senior Management of PubCo After the Business Combination — Senior Management of Terra Innovatum” for additional information.

Q.     What will GSR III shareholders receive in the Business Combination?

A.     Upon consummation of the Merger, each Class A Share and each Class B Share will be exchanged for one Ordinary Share through Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as exchange agent for the benefit and account of the former holders of the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares and GSR III Class B Ordinary Shares. The as-exchanged Class B Shares will be subject to the Vesting Conditions (as defined below) whereby 90% of the Exchanged Shares would continue to be held by their respective holders free and clear following the Closing and 10% of the Vesting Shares would be subject to vesting conditions until the satisfaction of the relevant vesting conditions or lapse of the prescribed period of time. See the section entitled “Shares Eligible for Future Sale — Vesting Sponsor Shares.

Q.     What will GSR III unitholders receive in the Business Combination?

A.     Immediately prior to consummation of the Business Combination, the GSR III Public Units will automatically separate into their component parts, and holders of GSR III Public Units will receive one Class A Share and one seventh of one GSR Right.

Q.     What will Terra Innovatum quotaholders receive in the Business Combination?

A.      Upon the effective time of the Merger, legacy Terra Innovatum Quotaholders will be issued 8,000 PubCo Preferred Shares, which will be classified as an equity linked instrument and not an outstanding share. These shares will mandatorily convert into shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares in four tranches subsequent to the Closing, subject to PubCo meeting certain contingencies, at a conversion ratio of 10,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares per PubCo Preferred Share. Specifically, the PubCo Preferred Shares will convert in the following circumstances:

        An amount equal to 25% of the aggregate PubCo Preferred Shares will convert if at any time during the five-year period following the Closing (the “First Conversion Period”), (A) the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the PubCo Ordinary Shares for any five Trading Days within any 20 Trading Days period (“PubCo Trading Price”) is greater than $12.00, or (B) upon the submittal and docketing of at least 10 of the planned Pre-Application Topical Reports following the NEI Guidance has occurred, whichever occurs earlier.

        An amount equal to 25% of the aggregate PubCo Preferred Shares will convert if at any time during the First Conversion Period, (A) the PubCo Trading Price is greater than $14.00, or (B) upon NRC docketing of the SOLO Construction Permit Application, pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50, whichever occurs earlier.

        An amount equal to 25% of the aggregate PubCo Preferred Shares will convert, if at any time during the seven-year period following the Closing (the “Second Conversion Period”), and together with the First Conversion Period, the “Conversion Period”, (A) the PubCo Trading Price is greater than $16.00, or (B) upon acceptance and docketing of the SOLO Test Reactor Construction Permit in compliance with the requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 as set forth in 10 CFR, whichever occurs earlier.

xxii

Table of Contents

        An amount equal to 25% of PubCo Preferred Shares will convert, if at any time during the Second Conversion Period, (A) the PubCo Trading Price is greater than $18.00, or (B) upon issuance of an operating license of SOLO Test Reactor pursuant 10 CFR Part 50, whichever occurs earlier.

        If, prior to the end of the applicable Conversion Period, the applicable share price triggers have not been achieved, and PubCo enters into a definitive agreement that would result in a Change of Control transaction, and (A) the price per share of PubCo Ordinary Shares payable to the shareholders of PubCo in such Change of Control transaction (the “Change of Control Offer Price”) is at least $5.00 per share, then as of immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control transaction, (x) the applicable share price triggers that have not been achieved shall be deemed to have been satisfied, and (y) the PubCo Preferred Shares shall convert into PubCo Ordinary Shares at the Preferred/Ordinary Conversion Ratio described above as if such Change of Control Offer Price constituted the applicable share price trigger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement; or (B) if the Change of Control Offer Price is less than $5.00 per share but greater than $2.50 per share, then as of immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control transaction, half of the PubCo Preferred Shares that have not yet converted shall convert into PubCo Ordinary Shares at the Preferred/Ordinary Conversion Ratio.

        Any PubCo Preferred Share that is not converted into PubCo Ordinary Shares during the applicable Conversion Period will remain outstanding, provided that any PubCo Preferred Share that is not converted within 20 years of issuance shall be transferred to PubCo and subsequently cancelled by PubCo for no consideration (om niet).

Q.     What equity stake will the current shareholders of GSR III and the current quotaholders of Terra Innovatum hold in PubCo immediately after the Closing?

A.     It is anticipated that, following the Closing, in a no redemption scenario: (i) GSR III’s public shareholders will own approximately 32.5% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares; (ii) the Sponsor and related parties will own approximately 7.7% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares; (iii) the Terra Innovatum Quotaholders will own approximately 58.6% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares; and (iv) unrelated third parties will own approximately 1.2% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares.

The following table illustrates the estimated ownership levels in PubCo immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination under redemption scenarios, excluding the potential dilutive effects of (i) the additional shares for Terra Innovatum Quotaholders and PAC upon conversion of PubCo’s Preferred Shares and (ii) the potentially issuable additional shares for PAC and Bridge Loan lenders underlying the warrants to be issued at Closing in all scenarios:

The Maximum Redemption Scenario reflects the redemption of the maximum number of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption that can be redeemed while allowing both the minimum net tangible assets and GSR III Available Cash conditions pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement to be met. (ii) 3,285,714 GSR III Public Rights, each of which will convert, on a one-for-one basis, into GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Closing. These GSR III Ordinary Shares will convert on a one-for-one basis into PubCo Ordinary Shares upon the Closing.

Q.     Why is GSR III proposing the Adjournment Proposal?

A.     GSR III is proposing the Adjournment Proposal to allow the GSR III Board to adjourn the General Meeting to a later date or dates (A) in order to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining GSR III shareholder approval of the transaction proposals to be voted upon at the General Meeting, (B) if as of the time for which the General Meeting is scheduled, there are insufficient GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the General Meeting, (C) to allow reasonable time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosures that GSR III has determined, based on the advice of outside legal counsel, is reasonably likely to be required under applicable law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the GSR III shareholders prior to the General Meeting, (D) if GSR III shareholders seek to redeem an amount of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares such that the GSR III Available Cash Condition is not satisfied (Proposal No. 3), or (E) as otherwise deemed necessary by the Chairman of the General Meeting in his sole discretion.

Q.     What happens if I sell my GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares before the General Meeting?

A.     The record date for the General Meeting is earlier than the date that the Business Combination is expected to be completed. If you transfer your GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares after the record date but before the General Meeting, unless the transferee obtains from you a proxy to vote those shares, you will retain your right to vote at the General Meeting. However, you will not be able to redeem those shares for a pro rata portion of the proceeds held in the Trust Account because you will no longer be able to deliver them for cancellation

xxv

Table of Contents

upon consummation of the Business Combination. If you transfer your GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares prior to the record date you will have no right to vote those shares at the General Meeting or seek redemption of your GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares.

Q.     What vote is required to approve the proposals presented at the General Meeting?

A.     The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being, where a quorum is present the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the issued GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares who are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the General Meeting.

The approval of the Merger Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a two-thirds majority of the issued GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares who are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the General Meeting.

The Business Combination is not structured so that approval of at least a majority of unaffiliated public shareholders of GSR III is required.

Accordingly, a GSR III shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the General Meeting will not be counted towards the number of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, such failure to vote will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal or Adjournment Proposal. Broker non-votes will not be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established, and will have no effect on the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal or Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but, as a matter of Cayman Islands law, will not constitute a vote cast at the General Meeting and therefore will have no effect on the approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, Adjournment Proposal, and Merger Proposal. However, the Nasdaq requires that for the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal or Adjournment Proposal to be approved, there must be more votes cast in favor of the proposal than the aggregate of votes against such proposal plus abstentions. Broker non-votes do not count as votes cast. Therefore, in order to maintain compliance with this Nasdaq requirement, abstentions will count as a vote “AGAINST” each of the Business Combination Proposal, Adjournment Proposal and Merger Proposal.

Q.     May I seek statutory appraisal rights or dissenter rights with respect to my GSR III shares?

A.     The Cayman Islands Companies Act prescribes when shareholder appraisal rights are available and sets limitations on such rights. For additional information, see the section titled “Proposal 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights.

Q.     What happens if the Business Combination Proposal or the Merger Proposal is not approved?

A.     If either the Business Combination Proposal or the Merger Proposal is not approved, either Terra Innovatum or GSR III will be entitled to terminate the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination will not be consummated. If GSR III does not consummate a business combination by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor), GSR III will be required to dissolve and liquidate the Trust Account.

Q.     How many votes do I have at the General Meeting?

A.     GSR III shareholders are entitled to one vote on each proposal presented at the General Meeting for each GSR III Ordinary Share held of record as of the close of business on            , 2025, the record date for the General Meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were            outstanding GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares.

Q.     What constitutes a quorum at the General Meeting?

A.     One or more shareholders who together hold a majority of the issued and outstanding GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the General Meeting must be present, in person or represented by proxy, at the General Meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the General Meeting.

xxvi

Table of Contents

Broker non-votes will not be counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum. Abstentions will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. The GSR III Initial Shareholders, who own 20% of the issued and outstanding GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares as of the record date, will count towards this quorum. As a result, as of the record date, in addition to the shares of the GSR III Initial Shareholders, an additional 30% of the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares, plus one GSR III Ordinary Share, held by public shareholders would be required to be present at the General Meeting to achieve a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the General Meeting has power to adjourn the General Meeting.

Q.     How will the GSR III Initial Shareholders and GSR III’s other current directors and officers vote?

A.     Prior to the GSR III IPO, GSR III entered into a letter agreement with the GSR III Initial Shareholders and each of its other directors and officers, pursuant to which each agreed to vote any GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares owned by it in favor of an initial business combination. This agreement applies to the GSR III Initial Shareholders, including the Sponsor, as it relates to the Founder Shares and the requirement to vote all of the Founder Shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and for all other proposals presented to GSR III shareholders in this proxy statement/prospectus. The GSR III Initial Shareholders further entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement with GSR III and Terra Innovatum with respect to the Business Combination, whereby the GSR III Initial Shareholders agreed to vote any GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares owned by them in favor of the Business Combination. As of the record date, the GSR III Initial Shareholders and the other current directors and officers own 5,750,000 Founder Shares, representing 20% of the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares then outstanding and entitled to vote at the General Meeting. As a result, as of the record date, in addition to the shares of the GSR III Initial Shareholders, in addition to the shares of the GSR III Initial Shareholders, an additional 30% of the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares, plus one GSR III Ordinary Share, held by public shareholders would be required to vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal.

The Business Combination is not structured so that approval of at least a majority of unaffiliated public shareholders of GSR III is required.

Q.     What interests do the GSR III Initial Shareholders and GSR III’s other current officers and directors have in the Business Combination?

A.     The GSR III Initial Shareholders and GSR III’s other current officers and directors have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests. You should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination Proposal.

These interests include, among others: the fact that the Sponsor and GSR III’s directors have agreed not to redeem any GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination; the fact that the Sponsor and GSR III’s officers and directors will lose or waive certain rights (and the Sponsor may incur into certain liabilities) if GSR III fails to complete an initial business combination by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor); the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that Terra Innovatum will be required to maintain under the Business Combination Agreement; the fact that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor will have certain governance rights in respect of Terra Innovatum; and the appointment of            and            as initial members of the PubCo Board following the Closing.

In addition, the Sponsor, GSR III’s executive officers and directors, and any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on GSR III’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. GSR III’s audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, GSR III’s executive officers or directors, or GSR III’s or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination are made using funds held outside the Trust Account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such reimbursements, GSR III does not have any additional controls in place governing GSR III’s reimbursement payments to GSR III’s directors and executive officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with GSR III’s activities on GSR III’s behalf in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination. Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, is paid by GSR III to the Sponsor, GSR III’s executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to completion of its initial business combination. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no out-of-pocket expenses have been incurred by GSR III’s executive officers and directors and there are no outstanding out-of-pocket expenses for which GSR III’s executive officers or directors are awaiting reimbursement.

See “The Business Combination — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for a more detailed discussion of how the GSR III Initial Shareholders and GSR III’s other current officers and directors have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of the GSR III public shareholders generally.

Such interests may influence the GSR III Board in making its recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination.

Q.     Did the GSR III Board obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

A.     Yes. The GSR III Board obtained a fairness opinion from ERShares, dated April 7, 2025, which provides that, as of that date and based on and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and other matters set forth therein, the consideration to be paid by GSR III in the Merger is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares. For a description of the opinion issued by ERShares to the GSR III Board, please see “The Business Combination — Opinion of GSR III’s Financial Advisor.”

Q.     What happens if I vote against the Business Combination Proposal?

A.     If you vote against the Business Combination Proposal but the Business Combination Proposal still obtains the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares that are entitled to vote and are voted at the General Meeting, then the Business Combination Proposal will be approved and, assuming the approval of the Merger Proposal, and the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions to Closing, the Business Combination will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

If you vote against the Business Combination Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal does not obtain the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares that are entitled to vote and are voted at the General Meeting, then the Business Combination Proposal will fail and GSR III will not consummate the Business Combination. If GSR III does not consummate the Business Combination, it may continue to try to complete a business combination with a different target business until May 8, 2026. If GSR III fails to complete an initial business combination by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor), then it will be required to dissolve and liquidate the Trust Account by returning the then-remaining funds in such account to its public shareholders.

Q.     Do I have redemption rights?

A.     If you are a holder of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares, you may redeem your public shares for cash at the applicable redemption price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the Closing, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), by (ii) the total number of then-outstanding public shares; provided that GSR III will not redeem any GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares issued in the GSR III IPO to the extent that such redemption would result in GSR III having net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) of less than $5,000,001. A public shareholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, in excess of 15% of the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares sold in the GSR III IPO, without GSR III’s prior consent. Holders of outstanding GSR III Rights do not have redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination. The GSR III Initial Shareholders and GSR III’s other current officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, and the Founder Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. For illustrative purposes, based on the fair value of marketable securities held in the Trust Account of approximately $233 million as of March 31, 2025, the estimated per Class A Share redemption price would have been approximately $10.17. Additionally, GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares properly tendered for redemption will only be redeemed if the Business Combination is consummated; otherwise holders of such shares will only be entitled to a pro rata portion of the Trust Account (including interest but net of taxes payable) in connection with the liquidation of the Trust Account, unless GSR III completes an alternative business combination prior to May 8, 2026.

Q.     Can the GSR III Initial Shareholders redeem their Founder Shares in connection with consummation of the Business Combination?

A.     No. The GSR III Initial Shareholders and GSR III’s other current officers and directors have agreed, for no additional consideration, to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and any public shares they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination.

Q.     Is there a limit on the number of shares I may redeem?

A.     Yes. A public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), may not redeem GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares in excess of an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in the GSR III IPO, without GSR III’s consent. Accordingly, all GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares in excess of 15% of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares sold in the GSR III IPO owned by a holder will not be redeemed for cash without GSR III’s consent. On the other hand, a public shareholder who holds less than 15% of the public shares may redeem all of the public shares held by such shareholder for cash.

Class B Shares cannot be redeemed.

In no event is your ability to vote all of your shares (including those shares held by you in excess of 15% of the shares sold in the GSR III IPO) for or against the Business Combination restricted.

GSR III has no specified maximum redemption threshold under its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, other than the aforementioned 15% threshold. Each redemption of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares by GSR III public shareholders will reduce the amount in the Trust Account, which held marketable securities with a fair value of approximately $231 million as of December 31, 2024. The Business Combination Agreement provides that each of the parties’ obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount of cash in the Trust Account (net of the Cash Redemption Amount), together with any transaction financing, but minus transaction expenses being equal to or greater than $25,000,000. If, as a result of redemptions of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares by GSR III’s public shareholders, such condition is not met or is not waived, then either party may elect to not consummate the Business Combination. In addition, in no event will GSR III redeem its GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares in an

xxix

Table of Contents

amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001, as provided in the GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and as required as a Closing condition to each party’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

Q.     Will how I vote affect my ability to exercise redemption rights?

A.     No. You may exercise your redemption rights whether you vote your GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares for or against, or whether you abstain from voting on, the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal described by this proxy statement/prospectus. As a result, the Business Combination Agreement can be approved by shareholders who will redeem their shares and no longer remain shareholders, leaving shareholders who choose not to redeem their shares holding shares in a company with a potentially less-liquid trading market, fewer shareholders, potentially less cash and the potential inability to meet the listing standards of Nasdaq.

Q.     How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A.     In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must (i) if you hold GSR III Public Units, separate the underlying GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares and GSR III Rights, and (ii) prior to            , on            , 2025 (two business days before the initial date of the General Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically and identify yourself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide your legal name, phone number and address to the Transfer Agent in order to validly redeem your shares and submit a request in writing that GSR III redeem your GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares for cash to the Transfer Agent at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
One State Street Plaza, 30th Floor
New York, NY 10004
Attention:            
Email:

You do not have to be a record date holder in order to exercise your redemption rights. GSR III 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 GSR III’s understanding that GSR III shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent. However, GSR III does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. GSR III shareholders who hold their shares in “street name” will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically.

GSR III shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are registered 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/prospectus, or up to two business days prior to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal at the General Meeting, or to deliver their shares to the Transfer Agent electronically using Depository Trust Company’s Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC) system, at such shareholder’s option. The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to the General Meeting ensures that a redeeming shareholder’s election to redeem is irrevocable once the Business Combination is approved.

Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of public shares, may not be withdrawn once submitted to GSR III unless the GSR III Board determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which it may do in whole or in part). If you delivered your shares for redemption to the Transfer Agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that the Transfer Agent return the shares (physically or electronically). The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify himself, herself or itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide his, her or its legal name, phone number and address to the Transfer Agent in order to validly redeem his, her or its shares. You may make such request by contacting the Transfer Agent at the phone number or address listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

If you hold GSR III Public Units registered in your own name, you must deliver the certificate for such GSR III Public Units to the Transfer Agent with written instructions to separate such GSR III Public Units into GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares and GSR III 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 GSR III Public Units.

Table of Contents

If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee holds your GSR III Public Units, you must instruct such nominee to separate your GSR III Public Units. Your nominee must send written instructions by facsimile to the Transfer Agent. Such written instructions must include the number of GSR III Public Units to be split and the nominee holding such GSR III Public Units. Your nominee must also initiate electronically, using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC system, a withdrawal of the relevant units and a deposit of an equal number of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares and GSR III 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 GSR III Public Units. While this is typically done electronically on the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish the separation. If you fail to cause your GSR III Public Units to be separated in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your redemption rights.

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 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 are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

A.     The receipt of cash by a holder of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares in redemption of such shares will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the case of a U.S. holder (as defined herein) and could be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the case of a Non-U.S. holder (as defined herein). Please see the section in this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. holders — Redemption of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares” for additional information. All holders considering the exercise of their redemption rights should consult with, and rely solely upon, their own tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising such redemption rights.

Q.     What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination to the U.S. holders and non-U.S. holders (each as defined herein) of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares?

A.     The receipt of cash by a holder of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares in redemption of such shares will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the case of a U.S. holder (as defined herein) and could be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the case of a Non-U.S. holder (as defined herein). Please see the section in this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. holders — Redemption of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares” for additional information. All holders considering the exercise of their redemption rights should consult with, and rely solely upon, their own tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising such redemption rights.

The tax consequences of the Business Combination are complex and will depend on your particular circumstances. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Business Combination, see the section entitled “Material Tax Considerations — United States Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences of the Merger to U.S. Holders.” If you are a U.S. holder exchanging GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares in the Business Combination, you are urged to consult your tax advisor to determine the tax consequences thereof.

Q.     Do I have appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights if I object to the proposed Business Combination?

A.     The Cayman Islands Companies Act prescribes when shareholder appraisal rights are available and sets limitations on such rights. GSR III shareholders will have appraisal rights and dissenter’s rights under Section 238 and 239 of Cayman Islands Companies Act. Where such rights are available, shareholders are entitled to receive fair value for their shares. However, regardless of whether such rights are or are not available, the GSR III public shareholders are still entitled to exercise the rights of redemption as set out herein, and the GSR III Board has determined that the redemption proceeds payable to shareholders who exercise such redemption rights represent the fair value of those shares.

Table of Contents

Section 238. (1) of the Cayman Islands Companies Act provides that a member of a constituent company incorporated thereunder shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of that person’s shares upon dissenting from a merger or consolidation.

Section 239. (1) of the Cayman Islands Companies Act provides that no rights under section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act shall be available in respect of the shares of any class for which an open market exists on a recognised stock exchange or recognised interdealer quotation system at the expiry date of the period allowed for written notice of an election to dissent under section 238(5) of the Cayman Islands Companies Act, provided that such section shall not apply if the holders thereof are required by the terms of a plan of merger or consolidation pursuant to section 233 or 237 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act to accept for such shares anything except: (a) shares of a surviving or consolidated company, or depository receipts in respect thereof; (b) shares of any other company, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation, are either listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on a recognised interdealer quotation system or held of record by more than two thousand holders; (c) cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in paragraphs (a) and (b); or (d) any combination of the shares, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c).

GSR III shareholders who are considering exercising dissenter’s rights are advised to consult appropriate legal counsel.

Q.     What happens to the funds held in the Trust Account upon consummation of the Business Combination?

A.     If the Business Combination is consummated, the funds held in the Trust Account, will be used to: (i) pay GSR III public shareholders who properly exercise their redemption rights; (ii) pay approximately $9.2 million in deferred underwriting commissions to the underwriters of the GSR III IPO; and (iii) pay or cause to be paid certain other fees, costs and expenses (including regulatory fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printer fees and other professional fees) that were incurred by GSR III and Terra Innovatum in connection with the Business Combination pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Any remaining funds will be used by PubCo for general corporate purposes.

Q.     What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Business Combination?

A.     There are a number of Closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement, including the approval by GSR III shareholders of the Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal and the GSR III Available Cash Condition. For a summary of the conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to completion of the Business Combination, please see the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents — Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination.”

Table of Contents

Q.     What happens if the Business Combination Agreement is terminated or the Business Combination is not consummated?

A.     There are certain circumstances under which the Business Combination Agreement may be terminated. Please see the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents” for information regarding the parties’ specific termination rights.

If GSR III does not consummate the Business Combination, it may continue to try to complete a business combination with a different target business until May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor). If GSR III fails to complete an initial business combination by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor), then GSR III will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish GSR III public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of GSR III’s remaining shareholders and the GSR III Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to GSR III’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per unit in the GSR III IPO. Please see the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and GSR III” for additional information.

Holders of Founder Shares have waived any right to any liquidation distribution with respect to such shares. In addition, there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the GSR III Rights, which will expire worthless if GSR III fails to complete an initial business combination by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor).

Q.     When is the Business Combination expected to be completed?

A.     The Closing is expected to take place following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described below in the subsection entitled “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents — Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination.” The closing is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated by GSR III or Terra Innovatum if the Closing has not occurred by December 31, 2025 (unless such date is extended by mutual agreement of GSR III and Terra Innovatum).

For a description of the conditions to the completion of the Business Combination, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents — Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination.”

Q.     What do I need to do now?

A.     You are urged to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes hereto, and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a shareholder. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus 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 vote?

A.     If you were a holder of record of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares on            , 2025, the record date for the General Meeting, you may vote with respect to the proposals in person or virtually at the 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 General Meeting in the manner you indicate. You are encouraged to sign and return the proxy card even if you plan to attend the

xxxiii

Table of Contents

General Meeting so that your shares will be voted if you are unable to attend the 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            , on            , 2025.

Voting in Person at the Meeting.    If you attend the General Meeting and plan to vote in person, you will be provided with a ballot at the General Meeting. If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are considered the shareholder of record and you have the right to vote in person at the General Meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the General Meeting and vote in person, you will need to bring to the General Meeting a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee authorizing you to vote these shares. For additional information, please see the section entitled “General Meeting of GSR III Shareholders.”

Voting Electronically.    You may attend, vote and examine the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the General Meeting by visiting            and entering the control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form or notice included in the proxy materials.

Q.     What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to vote at the General Meeting?

A.     At the General Meeting, a properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to a particular proposal will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but, as a matter of Cayman Islands law, will not constitute a vote cast at the General Meeting and therefore will have no effect on the approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, Adjournment Proposal and Merger Proposal. However, the Nasdaq requires that for the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal or Adjournment Proposal to be approved, there must be more votes cast in favor of the proposal than the aggregate of votes against such proposal plus abstentions. Broker non-votes do not count as votes cast. Therefore, in order to maintain compliance with this Nasdaq requirement, abstentions will count as a vote “AGAINST” each of the Business Combination Proposal, Adjournment Proposal and Merger Proposal.

Q.     What will happen if I sign and return my proxy card without indicating how I wish to vote?

A.     Signed and dated proxies received by GSR III without an indication of how the shareholder intends to vote on a proposal will be voted “FOR” each proposal presented to the shareholders. The proxyholders may use their discretion to vote on any other matters which properly come before the General Meeting.

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-routine 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. GSR III believes that all of the proposals presented to the shareholders at this General Meeting will be considered non-routine and, therefore, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction on any of the proposals presented at the 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 or for purposes of determining the number of votes cast at the General Meeting. Your broker, bank or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide.

Q.     May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

A.     Yes. You may change your vote by sending a later-dated, signed proxy card to GSR III at the following address: GSR III Acquisition Corp., 5900 Balcones Drive, Suite 100, Austin, TX 78731, so that it is received by GSR III prior to the General Meeting or attend the General Meeting in person and vote. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to GSR III, which must be received by GSR II prior to the General Meeting.

Q.     What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A.     You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus 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.

Q.     Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the General Meeting?

A.     GSR III will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the General Meeting. GSR III has engagedto assist in the solicitation of proxies for the General Meeting. GSR III has agreed to pay            a fee of $            , plus disbursements, and will reimburse            for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and indemnify            and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. GSR III will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners.

Parties to the Business Combination

Terra Innovatum

Terra Innovatum, Srl. (“Terra Innovatum” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of Italy on September 23, 2021 (“Inception”) and is headquartered in Lucca, Italy. Terra Innovatum is a leading micro modular nuclear solutions company that aims to deliver reliable, low-cost and zero-carbon power wherever energy demand is present through its first-of-a-kind reactor SOLO. SOLO is compact yet extremely powerful with one unit generating 1MWe of power, while designed with the strictest safety characteristics and the ability to run 24/7 without the need to refuel for 15 years. Its modular design aims to achieve maximum energy efficiency while significantly reducing the levelized cost of energy (LCOE). SOLO is built using off-the-shelf components and widely available fuel, low-enriched uranium (“LEU”), which de-risks its regulatory and commercial pathway. Terra Innovatum aims to commercially deploy SOLO by 2028 to address the growing global demand for sustainable and reliable energy. For additional information, see “Business of Terra Innovatum and Certain Information about Terra Innovatum” beginning on page 147.

GSR III

GSR III is a blank check company, which was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on May 10, 2023. It was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

The registration statement for the GSR III IPO was declared effective on November 7, 2024. On November 8, 2024, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units including 3,000,000 additional public units as the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Units, GSR III consummated the Private Placement of 422,500 Private Placement Units (including 7,500 additional Private Placement Units as the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full) to the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $4,225,000. Out of the aggregate amount of $4,225,000, the amount of $4,040,000 from the sale of the Private Placement Units are added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account and the balance of $185,000 is receivable from the Sponsor. The proceeds received from the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account was used partially to pay some general and administrative expenses.

Upon the closing of the GSR III IPO and the private placement, an aggregate approximately of $231 million was deposited in the Trust Account and is invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market fund meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by GSR III, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account.

The GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares, GSR III Public Units and GSR III Rights are currently listed on the Nasdaq under the symbols “GSRT,” “GSRTU” and “GSRTR,” respectively.

In evaluating the transaction with Terra Innovatum, the GSR III Board consulted with GSR III’s management and legal counsel as well as financial and other advisors, and the GSR III Board considered and evaluated several factors. The GSR III Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination. For a description of such factors, see “The Business Combination Agreement — GSR III Board’s Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination.

The factors considered by the GSR III Board included:

        Public research on the energy industry and its prospects, a review of Terra Innovatum’s historical financial performance including unit economics and other relevant financial and operating metrics;

        Extensive conference call meetings with Terra Innovatum’s management team and representatives regarding operations, company products and services, intellectual property, key customers, suppliers, end market industries, total available market and growth prospects, among other customary due diligence matters;

        Review of Terra Innovatum’s material business contracts, corporate books and records, government regulations and filings, intellectual property and information technology and certain other legal and environmental due diligence;

        A fairness opinion provided by ERShares; and

        Financial and accounting due diligence.

The GSR III Board also considered that certain of the officers and directors of GSR III may have interests in the Business Combination as individuals that are in addition to, and that may be different from, the interests of GSR III’s shareholders (see “— Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” below). GSR III’s independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during the negotiation of the Business Combination and in evaluating and approving, as members of the GSR III Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the Business Combination.

The GSR III Board concluded that the potential benefits that it expected GSR III and its shareholders to achieve as a result of the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, the GSR III Board determined that the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination and the Plan of Merger, were advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, GSR III and its shareholders.

For more information about the GSR III Board’s decision-making process concerning the Business Combination, please see the section entitled “The Business Combination — GSR III Board’s Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination.

(2)    Merger Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal by special resolution that the Plan of Merger in the form tabled to the General Meeting (a draft of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B) pursuant to which (i) Terra Innovatum will cause to be formed New TopCo, (ii) Terra Innovatum will effectuate the Contribution, (iii) Terra Innovatum will become a wholly owned subsidiary of New TopCo, (iv) New TopCo will convert into PubCo, (v) New TopCo will establish Terra MergerCo as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of New TopCo (vi) and Terra MergerCo will effectuate the Merger with GSR III as the surviving company in the merger and, after giving effect to the Merger and the related share exchange, GSR III will become a wholly owned Subsidiary of New TopCo (New TopCo as publicly traded company hereby referred to as “PubCo”) and each issued and outstanding GSR III Ordinary Share will be exchanged into one PubCo Ordinary Share, so that all the rights and obligations of GSR III will be assumed by PubCo by virtue of such merger pursuant to the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, and the consummation of the merger and the remaining transactions contemplated thereby, be authorized, approved and confirmed in all respects; and GSR III be authorized to enter into the Plan of Merger.

any supplemental or amended disclosures that GSR III has determined, based on the advice of outside legal counsel, is reasonably likely to be required under applicable law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the GSR III shareholders prior to the General Meeting, (D) if GSR III shareholders redeem an amount of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares such that the GSR III Available Cash Condition is not satisfied, or (E) at the discretion of the Chairman in his sole discretion (Proposal No. 3).

Please see the sections entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal,” “Proposal No. 2 — The Merger Proposal, ” and “Proposal No. 3 — The Adjournment Proposal.”

Voting Power; Record Date

As a shareholder of GSR III, you have a right to vote on certain matters affecting GSR III. The proposals that will be presented at the General Meeting and upon which you are being asked to vote are summarized above and fully set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. If you are a shareholder you will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the General Meeting if you owned GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares at the close of business on             , 2025, which is the record date for the General Meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each GSR III Ordinary Share that you owned as of the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the record date, there were             GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding, of which             are public shares and 5,750,000 are Founder Shares held by the GSR III Initial Shareholders.

Vote of the GSR III Initial Shareholders and GSR III’s Other Directors and Officers

Prior to the GSR III IPO, GSR III entered into a letter agreement with the GSR III Initial Shareholders and the other current directors and officers of GSR III, pursuant to which each agreed to vote any GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares owned by them in favor of an initial business combination. This agreement applies to the GSR III Initial Shareholders, including Sponsor, as it relates to the Founder Shares and the requirement to vote all of the Founder Shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and for all other proposals presented to GSR III shareholders in this proxy statement/prospectus. The GSR III Initial Shareholders further entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement with GSR III and Terra Innovatum with respect to the Business Combination, whereby the GSR III Initial Shareholders agreed to vote any GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares owned by them in favor of the Business Combination. As of the record date, the GSR III Initial Shareholders own 5,750,000 Founder Shares, representing 20% of the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares then outstanding and entitled to vote at the General Meeting.

The GSR III Initial Shareholders and the other current directors and officers of GSR III have, for no additional consideration, waived any redemption rights, including with respect to GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares purchased in the GSR III IPO or in the aftermarket, in connection with the Business Combination. The Founder Shares held by the GSR III Initial Shareholders have no redemption rights upon the liquidation of GSR III and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by GSR III by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor). However, the Sponsor and the current directors and officers are entitled to redemption rights upon the liquidation of GSR III with respect to any GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares they may own.

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals at the General Meeting

One or more shareholders who together hold a majority of the issued and outstanding GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the General Meeting must be present, in person or represented by proxy, at the General Meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the General Meeting. Broker non-votes will not be counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum. Abstentions will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. The GSR III Initial Shareholders, who own 20% of the issued and outstanding GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares as of the record date, will count towards this quorum. As a result, as of the record date, in addition to the shares of the GSR III Initial Shareholders, an additional             GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares held by public shareholders would be required to achieve a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the General Meeting has power to adjourn the General Meeting.

Table of Contents

The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being, where a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the issued GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares who are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the General Meeting. The approval of the Merger Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being, where a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a two-thirds majority of the issued GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares who are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the General Meeting. Accordingly, an GSR III shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the General Meeting will not be counted towards the number of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, such failure to vote will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal or Adjournment Proposal. Broker non-votes will not be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established, and will have no effect on the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal or Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but, as a matter of Cayman Islands law, will not constitute a vote cast at the General Meeting and therefore will have no effect on the approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal and Adjournment Proposal. However, the Nasdaq requires that for the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal or Adjournment Proposal to be approved, there must be more votes cast in favor of the proposal than the aggregate of votes against such proposal plus abstentions. Broker non-votes do not count as votes cast. Therefore, in order to maintain compliance with this Nasdaq requirement, abstentions will count as a vote “AGAINST” each of the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal and Adjournment Proposal.

The Closing is conditioned upon the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal. The Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal are conditioned upon the approval of each other. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

It is important for you to note that, in the event that the Business Combination Proposal or the Merger Proposal does not receive the requisite vote for approval, then GSR III will not consummate the Business Combination. If GSR III does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor), GSR III will be required to dissolve and liquidate the Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public shareholders.

Recommendation to GSR III Shareholders

The GSR III Board believes that each of the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal and Adjournment Proposal to be presented at the General Meeting is in the best interests of GSR III and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” each of the proposals.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination

In considering the recommendation of the GSR III Board to vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal, GSR III shareholders should be aware that aside from their interests as shareholders, the Sponsor and GSR III’s other current officers and directors have interests in the Business Combination and the Merger that are different from, or in addition to, those of other GSR III shareholders generally. The GSR III Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination and the Merger, and in recommending to GSR III shareholders that they approve the Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal. GSR III shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal.

These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

        the fact that the Sponsor and GSR III’s directors have agreed not to redeem any GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination, including the Business Combination;

        the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the 5,750,000 Founder Shares currently owned by the Sponsor and the Other Class B Shareholders and such securities will have a significantly higher value upon the consummation of the Business Combination;

There are no limitations other than set forth above to the circumstances or arrangements under which the Sponsor, its affiliates, or promoters, would indirectly transfer ownership of GSR III through transfers of Sponsor’s membership interests.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to GSR III’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, holders of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share calculated in accordance with GSR III’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. As of March 31, 2025, this would have amounted to approximately $10.17 per share. If a holder of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares exercises his, her or its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging his, her or its GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares for cash and will not own shares of PubCo upon the Closing. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for his, her or its public shares only if he, she or it properly demands redemption and delivers his, her or its shares (either physically or electronically) to the Transfer Agent in accordance with the procedures described herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of the public shares, together with any affiliate of his, her or it or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13 of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares included in the GSR III Public Units sold in the GSR III IPO, without GSR III’s prior consent. Accordingly, all public shares in excess of the 15% threshold beneficially owned by a public shareholder or group will not be redeemed without GSR III’s consent.

GSR III has no specified maximum redemption threshold under its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, other than the aforementioned 15% threshold. Each redemption of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares by GSR III public shareholders will reduce the amount in the Trust Account, which held marketable securities with a fair value of approximately $231 million as of December 31, 2024. The Business Combination Agreement provides that Terra Innovatum’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount of cash in the Trust Account (net of the Cash Redemption Amount) being equal to or greater than $25,000,000. The conditions to Closing in the Business Combination Agreement are for the sole benefit of the parties thereto and may be waived by such parties. If, as a result of redemptions of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares by GSR III’s public shareholders, the GSR III Available Cash Condition is not met or is not waived, then Terra Innovatum may elect not to consummate the Business Combination. In addition, in no event will GSR III redeem its GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001, as provided in the GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and as required as a Closing condition to each party’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. GSR III shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares for cash must refer to and follow the procedures set forth in the section entitled “General Meeting of GSR III Shareholders — Redemption Rights” in order to properly redeem their public shares.

The GSR III Initial Shareholders and the other current directors and officers of GSR III have waived any redemption rights, including with respect to GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares purchased in the GSR III IPO or in the aftermarket, in connection with Business Combination. The Founder Shares held by the GSR III Initial Shareholders have no redemption rights upon the liquidation of GSR III and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by GSR III by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor). However, the GSR III Initial Shareholders and the other current directors and officers of GSR III are entitled to redemption rights upon the liquidation of GSR III with respect to any public shares they may own.

Certain Information Relating to Terra Innovatum

Listing of Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq

Terra Innovatum is currently a privately held company and its shares are not currently traded on a stock exchange. PubCo intends to apply to list the PubCo Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq under the symbols “NKLR,” upon the Closing. We cannot assure you that the PubCo Ordinary Shares will be approved for listing on Nasdaq.

Delisting of GSR III Securities and Deregistration of GSR III

GSR III and Terra Innovatum anticipate that, following consummation of the Business Combination, the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares, GSR III Public Units and GSR III Rights will be delisted from Nasdaq, and GSR III will terminate its registration under the Exchange Act.

(1)      GSR III’s historical net tangible book value is calculated as GSR III’s total historical tangible assets less total historical liabilities as of March 31, 2025.

(2)      Represents, in the Maximum Redemption Scenario, a decrease in net tangible book value in the amount of $203.2 million assuming that 19,580,736 GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares are redeemed, subject to the minimum net tangible asset and GSR III Available Cash conditions, resulting in an aggregate cash payment of approximately $203.2 million out of the Trust Account based on an assumed redemption price of $10.38 per share. Further, in the 50% Redemption Scenario, represents a decrease in net tangible book value in the amount of $119.4 million assuming that 11,500,000 GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares are redeemed, subject to the minimum net tangible asset and GSR III Available Cash conditions, resulting in an aggregate cash payment of approximately $119.3 million out of the Trust Account based on an assumed redemption price of $10.38 per share.

(3)      Represents a decrease in net tangible book value, resulting from the recognition of the Sponsor’s Share-settled contingent liability upon the Closing of the Business Combination. 549,500 GSR III Class B Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor immediately prior to the Closing (the Vesting Sponsor Shares), which convert into shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis at the Closing, will immediately, upon the Closing of the Business Combination, become subject to certain vesting or forfeiture conditions. The vesting will be triggered contingent upon various milestones being met subsequent to the Closing of the Business Combination. This adjustment represents a decrease to the numerator from recognizing a Share-settled contingent liability in the amount of $5.5 million. There is no adjustment to the denominator as the Sponsor will retain voting power with respect to the Vesting Sponsor Shares.

(4)      Expected and actual transaction and other costs is inclusive of (i) a decrease to net tangible book value for expected and actual GSR III transaction and other costs to be incurred subsequent to March 31, 2025 and paid on or before the Closing Date of $1.4 million, and (ii) a decrease in net tangible book value in the amount of $300.0 thousand for the expected payment of the premium of directors’ and officers’ tail insurance policy on the Closing Date.

(5)      GSR III Public and Private Placement Rights will convert on a one-for-one-basis into GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Closing.

(1)      Upon the effective time of the Merger, legacy Terra Innovatum Quotaholders will be issued 8,000 PubCo Preferred Shares, which will be classified as an equity linked instrument and not an outstanding share. These shares will mandatorily convert into shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares in four tranches subsequent to the Closing, subject to PubCo meeting certain contingencies, at a conversion ratio of 10,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares per PubCo Preferred Share. This results in potential dilution in the amount of PubCo Ordinary Shares of 80,000,000.

(2)      Represents 1,000,000 shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares potentially issuable to PAC upon the exercise of a warrant issued on the Closing of the Business Combination

(3)      Upon the effective time of the Merger, PAC will be issued 40 PubCo Preferred Shares, which will be classified as an equity linked instrument and not an outstanding share. These shares will mandatorily convert into shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares in four tranches subsequent to the Closing, subject to PubCo meeting certain contingencies, at a conversion ratio of 10,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares per PubCo Preferred Share. This results in potential dilution in the amount of 400,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares.

(4)      Represents 960,794 PubCo Ordinary Shares potentially issuable to third parties upon the exercise of warrants to be issued upon the Closing of the Business Combination to certain Bridge Loan lenders.

Shareholders will experience additional dilution to the extent PubCo issues additional shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares after the Closing.

The No Redemption Scenario presented above assumes that no additional holders of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption exercise their right to have their shares redeemed for their pro rata share of the Trust Account. The Maximum Redemption Scenario presented above assumes that 19,580,736 GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are redeemed, resulting in an aggregate cash payment of approximately $203.2 million out of the Trust Account based on an assumed redemption price of $10.38 per share. GSR III cannot predict how many of the GSR III shareholders will exercise their right to have their GSR III Public Shares redeemed for cash. As a result, the redemption amount and the number of public shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination may differ from the amounts presented in the tables above.

Appraisal Rights

The Cayman Islands Companies Act prescribes when shareholder appraisal rights are available and sets limitations on such rights. Where such rights are available, shareholders are entitled to receive fair value for their shares. However, regardless of whether such rights are or are not available, shareholders are still entitled to exercise the rights of redemption as set out herein, and the GSR III Board has determined that the redemption proceeds payable to shareholders who exercise such redemption rights represents the fair value of those shares. GSR III shareholders will have appraisal rights and dissenter’s rights under Section 238 and 239 of Cayman Islands Companies Act.

Section 238. (1) of the Cayman Islands Companies Act provides that a member of a constituent company incorporated thereunder shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of that person’s shares upon dissenting from a merger or consolidation.

Section 239. (1) of the Cayman Islands Companies Act provides that no rights under section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act shall be available in respect of the shares of any class for which an open market exists on a recognised stock exchange or recognised interdealer quotation system at the expiry date of the period allowed for written notice of an election to dissent under section 238(5) of the Cayman Islands Companies Act, provided that such section shall not apply if the holders thereof are required by the terms of a plan of merger or consolidation pursuant to section 233 or 237 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act to accept for such shares anything except: (a) shares of a surviving or consolidated company, or depository receipts in respect thereof; (b) shares of any other company, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation, are either listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on a recognised interdealer quotation system or held of record by more than two thousand holders; (c) cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in paragraphs (a) and (b); or (d) any combination of the shares, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c).

GSR III shareholders who are considering exercising dissenter’s rights are advised to consult appropriate legal counsel.

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by mail, via telephone or via e-mail or other electronic correspondence. GSR III has engaged             to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

If an GSR III shareholder grants a proxy, such shareholder may still vote its shares in person if it revokes its proxy before the General Meeting. An GSR III shareholder may also change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy, as described in the section entitled “General Meeting of GSR III Shareholders — Revoking Your Proxy.”

Risk Factor Summary

The Terra Innovatum business and the Business Combination are subject to numerous risks. In evaluating the proposals set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes, and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” The occurrence of one or more of the events or the circumstances described in the section titled “Risk Factors,” alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may adversely affect Terra Innovatum’s and GSR III’s ability to complete or realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, and may have a material adverse effect on the business, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations of Terra Innovatum. These risks include the following:

Risks Related to Terra Innovatum Business Following the Business Combination:

        We have incurred losses and have not generated any revenue since our inception. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses, and expect that we will not generate revenue, for the foreseeable future.

        Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and the risks and challenges we may encounter.

        We have not yet commercialized or sold the SOLO or any other micro modular reactor (“MMR”), and there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so.

14

Table of Contents

        If we fail to manage our growth effectively, we may be unable to execute our business plan, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.

        Competition from existing or new companies could cause us to experience downward pressure on prices, fewer customer orders, reduced margins, the inability to take advantage of new business opportunities, and the loss of market share.

        We and our customers operate in a politically sensitive environment, and the public perception of nuclear energy can affect our customers and us.

        Our operations involve the use, transportation and disposal of toxic, hazardous and/or radioactive materials and could result in liability without regard to fault or negligence.

        We are subject to information technology and cyber security threats which could have adverse effects, including regulatory effects, on our business and results of operations.

        We rely on a limited number of suppliers for certain materials and supplied components, some of which are highly specialized and are being designed for first-of-a-kind or sole use in the SOLO. We and our third-party vendors may not be able to obtain sufficient materials or supplied components to meet our manufacturing and operating needs, or obtain such materials on favorable terms or at expected costs.

        There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and we may require additional future funding whether or not the Transactions are completed.

        We may need to defend ourselves against intellectual property infringement claims, which may be time-consuming and could cause it to incur substantial fees and costs.

        Terra Innovatum’s management has limited experience in operating a public company.

Risks Relating to Compliance with Law, Government Regulation and Litigation:

        Our business is subject to the policies, priorities, regulations, mandates of multiple governmental entities and may be negatively or positively impacted by any change thereto.

        Uncertain global macro-economic and political conditions could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

        We could be subject to stringent export and import control laws and regulations depending on the jurisdictions in which we will operate. Unfavorable changes in these laws and regulations, our failure to secure timely required authorizations under these laws and regulations, or our failure to comply with these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        We are part of the nuclear power industry, which is highly regulated. Our MMR designs similarly differ from reactors currently in operation, including with respect to potential industrial uses. As a result, the regulatory licensing and approval process for our nuclear power plants may be delayed and made more costly.

        Even if the SOLO is licensed in the United States, we must still obtain approvals on a country-by-country basis to deploy these reactor technologies, which approvals may be delayed or denied or which may require modification to our design.

        Our customers could incur substantial costs as a result of violations of, or liabilities under, environmental laws.

15

Table of Contents

Risks Relating to Terra Innovatum’s Capital Resources:

        Our business requires substantial investment.

        We may experience a disproportionately higher impact from inflation and rising costs.

        Our indebtedness could expose us to risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Our financial results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

Risks Related to the Business Combination and GSR III:

        The Sponsor has agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how GSR III’s public shareholders vote.

        We may be forced to close the Business Combination even if we determined it is no longer in our shareholders’ best interest.

        GSR III and Terra Innovatum will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination.

        We have a specified maximum redemption threshold. This redemption threshold may make it more difficult for us to complete the Business Combination as contemplated.

        Certain insiders may elect to purchase shares from public shareholders prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of our securities.

        The Merger may be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes to U.S. holders of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information appearing elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and the accompanying notes in the section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what PubCo’s financial position or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination and the other events described in the section of this joint proxy/prospectus titled, “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” occurred as of the dates indicated. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of PubCo.

The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is being provided to assist you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Business Combination and the other events described in the section of this joint proxy/prospectus titled, “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential redemption by GSR III’s public shareholders of shares of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption redeemed for their pro rata share of the Trust Account.

        No Redemption Scenario:    This scenario assumes that no holders of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption exercise their right to have their GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed for their pro rata share of the Trust Account.

        Maximum Redemption Scenario:    This scenario assumes that 19,580,736 GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares are redeemed, resulting in an aggregate cash payment of approximately $203.2 million out of the Trust Account based on an assumed redemption price of $10.38 per share based on an aggregate amount of the funds held in the Trust Account of approximately $238.6 million. The Business Combination Agreement includes as conditions to the Closing that, at the Closing, GSR III will have (A) at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act), and (B) will meet the $25.0 million GSR III Available Cash condition as defined in the Business Combination Agreement. The Maximum Redemption Scenario reflects the redemption of the maximum number of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption that can be redeemed while allowing both the minimum net tangible assets and GSR III Available Cash conditions to be met. The Maximum Redemption Scenario includes all adjustments contained in the No Redemption Scenario and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of the Maximum Redemption Scenario.

If the actual facts are different than the assumptions described herein and within the section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus titled, “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” then the amounts and shares outstanding reported herein could differ from what is presented within this joint proxy statement/prospectus and the differences could be material.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully review and consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the financial statements and notes to the financial statements included herein and the matters addressed in the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” in evaluating the Business Combination and the proposals to be voted on at the General Meeting. Certain of the following risk factors apply to the business and operations of Terra Innovatum and will also apply to its business and operations following the completion of the Business Combination. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in these risk factors, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may adversely affect the ability to complete or realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, and may have a material adverse effect on the business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations of PubCo following the Business Combination. The risks discussed below may not prove to be exhaustive and are based on certain assumptions made by Terra Innovatum and GSR III which later may prove to be incorrect or incomplete. You are encouraged to perform you own investigation with respect to the businesses of Terra Innovatum and GSR III. Terra Innovatum and GSR III may face additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to such entity, or that are currently deemed immaterial, which may also impair their business or financial condition.

Risks Related to Terra Innovatum’s Business Following the Business Combination

Upon the Closing, New Terra Innovatum will be a holding company with no direct operations that relies on dividends, distributions, loans and other payments, advances and transfers of funds from Terra Innovatum OpCo to pay dividends, pay expenses and meet its other obligations. Accordingly, New Terra Innovatum’s shareholders will be subject to all of the risks of Terra Innovatum’s business upon the Closing.

Throughout this section, unless otherwise noted, “Terra Innovatum,” “we,” “us” or “our” refers to Terra Innovatum s.r.l. and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the Closing and New Terra Innovatum after the Closing.

Risks Relating to Terra Innovatum’s Business

We have incurred losses and have not generated any revenue since our inception. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses, and expect that we will not generate revenue, for the foreseeable future.

Since inception, we have incurred significant operating losses, and have an accumulated deficit of $516,224 as of March 31, 2025 and negative operating cash flow in the first three months of 2025 and 2024. We expect that operating losses and negative cash flows will increase in the coming years because of additional costs and expenses related to our research and development (which we refer to herein as R&D), business development activities and our status as a publicly traded company. To date, we have not generated any revenue. We do not expect to generate any revenue unless and until we are able to commercialize our reactors and/or other lines of business. As we have incurred losses and experienced negative operating cash flows since our inception, and accordingly we have undertaken equity financing from investors to satisfy our funding needs; however, we may not raise adequate funding to offset our expenses and losses. Moreover, we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays, and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our business. The magnitude of our future net losses will depend, in part, on the rate of future growth of our expenses and our ability to generate and grow revenue. We cannot predict the outcome of the actions to generate liquidity to fund our operations, whether such actions would generate the expected liquidity to fund our operations as currently planned or whether the costs of such actions will be available on reasonable terms or at all. Our continued solvency is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional working capital to complete our reactor development, to successfully market our reactors and to achieve commerciality for our reactors. Our prior losses and expected future losses have had and may continue to have adverse effects on our stockholders’ equity (deficit) and working capital and may lead to the failure of our business.

Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and the risks and challenges we may encounter.

We have a limited operating history in a rapidly evolving industry. The markets for nuclear reactor design, nuclear reactor production, nuclear fuel design, nuclear fuel supply, and services related to any or all of the foregoing business may not continue to develop in a manner that we expect or that otherwise would be favorable

to our business. As a result of our limited operating history and ongoing changes in our new and evolving industry, including evolving demand for our products and services and the potential development of technologies that may prove more efficient or effective for our intended use cases, our ability to forecast our future results of operations and plan for future growth is limited and subject to uncertainties. We have encountered and expect to continue to encounter risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by companies in rapidly evolving industries, such as the risks and uncertainties described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Accordingly, we may be unable to prepare accurate internal financial forecasts or replace anticipated revenue that we do not receive as a result of delays, changed circumstances, or changed market conditions arising from these factors, and our results of operations in future reporting periods may be below the expectations of investors or analysts. If we do not address these risks successfully, our results of operations could differ materially from our estimates or the expectations of investors or analysts, causing our business to suffer and our ordinary shares price to decline.

We have not yet commercialized or sold the SOLO or any other micro modular reactor (“MMR”), and there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so.

After we develop and obtain regulatory approval, the planned initial deployment of the SOLO is subject to Terra Innovatum reaching binding agreements for its scope of supply with potential customers. If no customer enters into such binding agreements with us, our initial deployment of the SOLO and ongoing services associated with such deployment could be significantly delayed. This could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. To date, the various memoranda of understanding that we have entered into with potential purchasers are largely contingent upon successful site characterization studies, governing body approvals and regulatory approvals, and may not result in binding agreements for the purchase of our products or services.

If we fail to manage our growth effectively, we may be unable to execute our business plan, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.

In order to achieve future revenue growth, we must finalize our reactor design, receive regulatory approvals, and continue to develop and market new products and services to traditional and non-traditional end-users. We intend to expand our operations as we develop and deploy our products and services in the future, and will need to hire and retain additional personnel, upgrade our existing operational management and financial and reporting systems, and improve our business processes and controls. Our future expansion will include:

        hiring and training new personnel;

        completing the designs, licensing, construction, and commissioning of SOLO;

        finalizing our reactor design and developing new technologies and services (e.g., training, maintenance, procurement);

        optimizing applications of our reactors to serve both traditional utility and electric power customers and a broad base of non-traditional industrial customers interested in utilizing the efficient high-temperature heat produced by our design;

        controlling expenses and investments in anticipation of expanded operations and rising costs;

        upgrading the existing operational management and financial reporting systems and team to comply with requirements as a public company; and

        implementing and enhancing administrative infrastructure, systems and processes.

If our operations continue to grow as planned, of which there can be no assurance, we will need to expand our sales and marketing, research and development, customer and commercial strategy, products and services, supply, and manufacturing functions. These efforts will require us to invest significant financial and other resources, including in industries and sales channels in which we have limited experience to date. We will also need to develop and implement our manufacturing and operational systems and processes, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to scale the business as currently planned or within the planned timeframe. The continued expansion of our business will require manufacturing and operational facilities, as well as space for administrative support, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to find suitable locations for such facilities.

Table of Contents

Our growth will increase the strain on our resources, and we could experience operating difficulties, including difficulties in hiring and training employees, finding manufacturing capacity to produce our MMRs and related equipment, delays in production, challenges in scaling-up fuel and component fabrication capacity and difficulty sourcing adequate raw material, such as graphite, for our reactors. These difficulties may divert the attention of management and key employees and impact financial and operational results. If we are unable to drive commensurate growth, these costs, which include headcount and capital assets, could result in decreased margins, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

There is limited operating experience for reactors of this type, configuration and scale, which may result in greater than expected construction and material costs, maintenance requirements, operating expense or delivery timing.

Our MMR design will be actively managed through design reviews, prototyping, involvement of external partners and application of industry lessons. However, we could still fail to identify manufacturing, material and construction issues early enough to avoid negative effects on production, fabrication, construction or ultimate performance of our MMRs and related technologies, or we may encounter unexpected regulatory issues. Where these issues arise at such later stages of deployment, deployment could be subject to greater costs or be significantly delayed, which could materially and adversely affect our business.

The market for MMRs generating electric power and high-temperature heat is not yet established and may not achieve the growth potential we expect or may grow more slowly than expected.

The market for MMRs, and particularly for MMRs utilizing advanced nuclear technologies such as those employed in the SOLO, has not yet been established. MMRs utilizing advanced nuclear technologies have limited operational history and have not been proven at scale. Estimates for the total addressable market and our expectations, inclusive of recent updates, with regards to certain unit economics are based on a number of internal and third-party estimates, including our potential contracted revenue, the number of potential customers who have expressed interest in our MMRs, assumed prices and production and regulatory costs for our MMRs, our ability to develop logistical and operational processes, assumptions regarding our technology and general market conditions. However, our assumptions and the data underlying our estimates may not be correct and the conditions supporting our assumptions or estimates may change at any time, reducing the predictive accuracy of these underlying factors. As a result, our expected performance as indicated by the illustrative unit economics provided in this proxy statement/prospectus, our estimates of the annual total addressable market and serviceable addressable market for our services, as well as the expected growth rate for the total addressable market and serviceable addressable market for our services, may prove to be incorrect.

We may not attract customers to our MMR technology as quickly as we expect, or at all, and acquiring customers may be more expensive than we currently anticipate.

MMRs and advanced nuclear technologies are relatively new and unproven and may be more costly than alternatives. Accordingly, adoption of our technology, or MMRs and advanced nuclear technologies generally, among our potential customers may progress more slowly than we anticipate or it may be more expensive to bring potential customers into our pipeline. Any delay or failure to attract potential customers to our reactors or MMR technology may have a material and adverse impact on our business and financial condition.

Our cost estimates are highly sensitive to broader economic factors, and our ability to control or manage our costs may be limited.

Capital and operating costs for the deployment of a first-of-a-kind reactor such as the SOLO are difficult to project, inherently variable and are subject to significant change based on a variety of factors, including site specific factors, customer off-take requirements, regulatory oversight, operating agreements, supply chain availability, inflation and other factors. Opportunities for cost reductions with subsequent deployments are similarly uncertain. To the extent cost reductions are not achieved within the expected timeframe or magnitude, the SOLO may not be cost competitive with alternative technologies, which could materially and adversely affect our expected revenues, gross margins and on the other information included in the Unit Economics Information.

Competition from existing or new companies could cause us to experience downward pressure on prices, fewer customer orders, reduced margins, the inability to take advantage of new business opportunities, and the loss of market share.

We operate in highly competitive markets and are subject to competition based upon product design, performance, pricing, quality, and services, from competing nuclear suppliers as well as from alternative means of producing electricity and/or heat. There are a number of advanced reactor designs, and some advanced reactor projects, under development in the United States. Many of these designs are involved in pre-application review with the NRC. Our advanced design, projected product design performance, engineering expertise, and quality control have been important factors in our growth; nonetheless other companies providing competing technologies could capture customers or market share from us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.

For sales and/or deployments outside of jurisdictions with highly-developed nuclear regulatory frameworks, some of our foreign competitors currently benefit from, and others may benefit in the future from, permissive regulatory and licensing regimes and/or from protective measures by their home countries where governments are providing financial support, including significant investments in the development of new technologies.

We believe our ability to compete successfully in designing, engineering and manufacturing our products and services at attractive costs to customers does and will depend on a number of factors, which may change in the future due to increased competition, our ability to meet our customers’ needs and the frequency and availability of our offerings. If we are unable to compete successfully, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

Technological changes could render our technology and products uncompetitive or obsolete, which could prevent us from achieving market share and sales.

Our failure to refine or advance our MMR technologies could cause our reactor technology to become uncompetitive or obsolete, which could prevent us from achieving market share and sales. We may need to invest significant financial resources in research and product development to keep pace with technological advances in the industry and to compete in the future; we may be unable to secure such financing. A variety of competing alternative technologies may be in development by other companies that could result in lower manufacturing or operating costs and/or higher performance than those expected for our technology. Our development efforts may be rendered obsolete by the technological advances of others, and other technologies may prove more advantageous for commercialization.

Changes in the availability and cost of electricity, natural gas and other forms of energy are subject to volatile market conditions that could adversely affect our business.

The prices for and availability of electricity, oil and other energy resources are subject to volatile market conditions. We do not control these market conditions, which are, moreover, often affected by political and economic factors beyond our control. Decreases in energy prices, or changes in nuclear energy costs relative to other forms of energy, may adversely affect our business. To the extent that these uncertainties cause suppliers and customers to be more cost sensitive or to adjust their business plans and operations, decreased energy prices may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

The cost of electricity generated from nuclear sources may not be cost competitive with other electricity generation sources in some markets, which could materially and adversely affect our business.

Many U.S. electricity markets price electric energy, capacity, and/or ancillary services on a competitive basis, with market prices subject to substantial fluctuations. Other markets remain heavily regulated by state or local utility regulatory authorities, with power purchase decisions by electric utilities subject to various competitiveness or prudence tests. As a result of competitive pressures, some electricity markets experience low marginal energy prices at certain times due to a combination of subsidized generating resources, competitors with low-cost or no-cost fuel sources, or market-design features that create incentives for certain attributes or deliver revenue in unpredictable ways over time, and Terra Innovatum may not be able to compete in these markets unless the benefits of the low-carbon, reliable and/or resilient energy generation provided by the SOLO is sufficiently valued. Even in markets that price reliable capacity on a long-term basis, there is no guarantee that our customers’ SOLO units will

23

Table of Contents

be sufficiently low-cost so as to clear auction-style capacity markets, and clearing in any one year is no guarantee of clearing in successive years. Moreover, our SOLO reactor will likely serve a specific market segment of smaller distributed generation, remote application or industrial customers, who may have lower cost power/heat alternatives available to them, especially in the near-term.

Given the relatively lower electricity prices and higher availability of power in the United States when compared to many international markets, the risk may be greater with respect to business in the United States. Regardless of jurisdiction, however, failure of our MMRs to provide competitively price electricity or heat could materially and adversely affect our business.

We and our customers operate in a politically sensitive environment, and the public perception of nuclear energy can affect our customers and us.

Successful execution of our business model is dependent upon public support for nuclear power in the United States and other countries. The risks associated with uses of radioactive materials by our customers in future deployments of our MMR designs, and the public perception of those risks, can affect our business. Opposition by third parties can delay or prevent the licensing and construction of new nuclear power facilities and in some cases can limit the operation of nuclear reactors. Adverse public reaction to developments in the use of nuclear power could directly affect our customers and indirectly affect our business. In the past, adverse public reaction, increased regulatory scrutiny and related litigation have contributed to extended licensing and construction periods for new nuclear reactors, sometimes delaying construction schedules by decades or more, or even shutting down operations at already-constructed reactors.

Accidents involving nuclear power facilities, including but not limited to events similar to any of the Three Mile Island, Chernobyl or Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accidents, or terrorist acts or other high profile events involving radioactive materials, could materially and adversely affect the public perception of the safety of nuclear energy, our customers and the markets in which we operate and potentially decrease demand for nuclear energy or facilities, increase regulatory requirements and costs or result in liabilities or claims that could materially and adversely affect our business.

Historical nuclear accidents and fears of a new nuclear accident can hinder widespread acceptance of nuclear power. Nuclear power faces strong opposition from certain individuals and organizations both in the United States and abroad. With respect to public perceptions, the accident that occurred at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan in 2011 increased public opposition to nuclear power in some countries, resulting in a slowdown in, or, in some cases, a complete halt to new construction of nuclear power plants, an early shut down of existing power plants and a dampening of the favorable regulatory climate needed to introduce new nuclear technologies. As a result of the Fukushima accident, some countries that were considering launching new domestic nuclear power programs delayed or cancelled the preparatory activities they were planning to undertake as part of such programs. If a high-visibility or high-consequence nuclear accident, including the loss or mishandling of nuclear materials, or other event, such as a terrorist attack involving a nuclear facility, occurs, public opposition to nuclear power may increase dramatically, regulatory requirements and costs could become more onerous or prohibitory, and customer demand for the SOLO could suffer, which could materially and adversely affect our business and operations.

The direct and indirect impact on us and our customers from severe weather and other effects of climate change and the economic impacts of the transition to non-carbon based energy, could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.

Our operations and properties, and those of our customers, may in the future be adversely impacted by flooding, wildfires, high winds, drought and other effects of severe weather conditions that may be caused or exacerbated by climate change. These events can force our customers to suspend operations at impacted properties and may result in significant damage to such properties. Even if these events do not directly impact us or our customers they may indirectly impact us and our customers through increased insurance, energy or other costs. In addition, although the ongoing transition to non-carbon based energy is creating significant opportunities for us and our customers, the transition also presents certain risks, including macroeconomic risks related to higher energy costs and energy shortages, among other things. These direct and indirect impacts from climate change could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results, supply chain and cash flows.

Our operations involve the use, transportation and disposal of toxic, hazardous and/or radioactive materials and could result in liability without regard to fault or negligence.

Our operations involve the use, transportation, and disposal of toxic, hazardous and radioactive materials. A release of these materials could pose a health risk to humans, plants and animals or the environment. If an accident were to occur, its severity would depend on the volume and location of the release and the speed of corrective action taken by emergency response personnel, as well as other factors beyond our control, such as weather and wind conditions.

While we do not currently own any property in the United States, if, in the future we do, under federal, state and local laws and regulations, a current or former owner or operator of real property may be liable for costs to remediate contamination resulting from the presence or release of hazardous substances, wastes or petroleum products. These costs could be substantial and liability under such laws is strict and may attach whether or not the owner or operator knew of or caused such contamination. Moreover, the presence of contamination may expose us to third-party claims for property damage or bodily injury, subject our properties to liens in favor of the government for damages and cleanup costs, impose restrictions on the manner in which we use our properties, and materially adversely affect our ability to sell, lease, insure, or develop our properties. We also may be liable for costs of remediating third-party disposal sites to which we arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances without regard to whether such disposal occurred in compliance with environmental laws. These matters could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.

Additionally, we may be responsible for decontamination or decommissioning of facilities where we conduct, or previously conducted, operations. Activities of our contractors, suppliers or other counterparties similarly may involve toxic, hazardous, and radioactive materials and we may be liable contractually, or under applicable law, to contribute to remedy damages or other costs arising from such activities, including the decontamination or decommission of third-party facilities.

In the United States, the nuclear liability law codified at 42 U.S.C. 2210 (along with subsequent amendments, the “Price-Anderson Act”) and applicable NRC regulations and corresponding insurance requirements channel liability to the nuclear operator of a nuclear power plant for third-party offsite damages caused by a nuclear incident or a precautionary evacuation due to a possible or actual nuclear incident. U.S. law is substantially similar in effect to global nuclear liability regimes wherein operators are subject to robust financial protection regimes, such as required insurance policies or government indemnification, to cover the operator’s financial risk in the event of a nuclear incident that gives rise to third-party offsite liability. If, however, an incident or precautionary evacuation is not covered under such a nuclear liability regime, we could be financially liable for damages arising from such incident or evacuation, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

The Price-Anderson Act does not, however, cover on-site loss or damage to property due to a nuclear incident. Rather, the NRC, like many nuclear regulators around the world, requires nuclear operators to maintain on-site property damage insurance. If an incident resulting in onsite property damage is not otherwise covered by the mandatory insurance policy maintained at the facility, then we could be potentially liable for damages arising from such incident, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

In our contracts, we seek to protect ourselves from liability, but there is no assurance that such contractual limitations on liability will be effective in all cases or in all jurisdictions. The costs of defending against a claim arising out of a nuclear incident or precautionary evacuation not otherwise covered by insurance, and any damages awarded as a result of such claim, could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Unresolved spent nuclear fuel storage and disposal issues and associated costs could have a significant negative impact on Terra Innovatum’s business operations if potential SOLO customers view the risks associated with these issues and costs as unacceptably high.

The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 requires the DOE to provide for the permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel (“SNF”) and associated high-level nuclear waste (“HLW”). In 1987, Congress amended the Nuclear Waste Policy Act to identify Yucca Mountain, in Nevada, as the only site that the DOE could consider for a permanent repository. The DOE has since cancelled this project, but under the federal law, is required to construct storage facilities for, and to dispose of, all SNF and other HLW generated by domestic nuclear reactors. Interim storage requires the construction and maintenance of NRC licensed SNF/ HLW storage facilities. While the costs of

25

Table of Contents

developing and maintaining these interim storage facilities can have a significant effect on the costs associated with waste storage and disposal for nuclear reactors, including Terra Innovatum’s reactors, these costs could themselves be impacted by the timing of the opening of a disposal facility, as well as any possible future changes to the interim storage or transportation requirements for SNF and other forms of HLW, and the extent to which operators are able to continue to successfully sue DOE for costs incurred as a result of its continued failure to provide for permanent disposal.

There are currently two consolidated interim storage (“CIS”) facilities under development in the United States for the interim storage of SNF/HLW. One facility has received an NRC license for construction and operation, and the other facility is in the final stages of its NRC licensing review. It is possible that SNF/HLW generated at an Terra Innovatum reactor could be stored at one of these CIS facilities; however, it is also possible that these CIS facilities are never built or become operational, or are unable to store such waste from an Terra Innovatum reactor, in which case, the waste would need to be stored onsite or at another interim SNF storage facility until another disposal option became available, such as a U.S. government determined permanent national repository or other government storage facility.

The establishment of a national repository for the storage and/or permanent disposal of SNF, such as the one previously considered at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, the timing of such a facility’s opening and the ability of such a facility to accept waste from an Terra Innovatum reactor, and any related regulatory action, could impact the costs associated with our SOLO customers’ storage and/or disposal of SNF/HLW. Likewise, the establishment of a CIS for the storage of SNF/HLW, the timing of such a facility’s opening and being able to accept waste from an Terra Innovatum reactor, and any related regulatory action, could impact our customers’ costs associated with storage of SNF/HLW. These waste storage issues, and changes to the current waste disposal practices or changes to reactor operators’ ability to recover storage costs from DOE through litigation, could be material to Terra Innovatum’s operations if potential customers view waste disposal as problematic, detrimental or a negative factor when considering an investment in an Terra Innovatum reactor.

Unsatisfactory safety performance or security incidents at our facilities — or any nuclear facility around the world — could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We design and will manufacture highly sophisticated MMRs that depend on complex technology. We also work cooperatively with our suppliers, subcontractors, venture partners and other parties. Failures, disruptions or compromises to our or our third parties’ systems or facilities may be caused by natural disasters, accidents, power disruptions, telecommunications failures, acts of terrorism or war, computer viruses, bugs or vulnerabilities, physical or electronic break-ins, human error, targeted cyberattacks, other intentional conduct, or similar events or incidents. While we have built operational processes to ensure that the design, manufacture, performance and servicing of our MMRs meet rigorous safety standards and performance goals, there can be no assurance that we will not experience operational or process failures or other problems, including through manufacturing or design defects, failure of third-party safeguards, mishandling or process failures, natural disasters, cyber attacks, or other intentional acts, that could result in potential safety risks. There can be no assurance that our preparations, or those of third parties, will be able to prevent any such incidents.

Any actual or perceived safety issues may result in significant reputational harm to our businesses, in addition to tort liability, maintenance, increased safety infrastructure and other costs that may arise. Such issues with our MMRs, facilities, or customer safety could result in delaying or cancelling delivery of MMRs to our customers, increased regulation or other systemic consequences. Our inability to meet our safety standards or address adverse publicity affecting our reputation as a result of accidents, mechanical failures, damages to customer property or medical complications could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

In the nuclear industry, an accident or incident involving the mishandling of nuclear materials at any nuclear facility in the world can have an impact on other nuclear facilities around the world in terms of public acceptance, political pressures, and regulatory requirements and scrutiny. For example, the March 2011 accident at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in Japan resulted in millions of dollars in additional regulatory reviews and requirements for U.S. nuclear power plants. If a safety incident occurs at any nuclear facility in the world, it could delay licensing and/or drive up costs to license or own our MMRs and negatively impact our business or financial condition.

We are subject to information technology and cyber security threats which could have adverse effects, including regulatory effects, on our business and results of operations.

We are increasingly dependent upon information technology systems, infrastructure and data to operate our business. In the ordinary course of business, we collect, store and transmit confidential information (including but not limited to intellectual property, proprietary business information and personal information). It is critical that we do so in a secure manner to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of such confidential information. We also have outsourced elements of our operations to third parties, and as a result we manage a number of third-party contractors who have access to our confidential information.

Despite the implementation of security measures, given their size and complexity and the increasing amounts of confidential information that they maintain, our internal information technology systems and those of our contractors and consultants are potentially vulnerable to breakdown or other damage or interruption from service interruptions, system malfunction, natural disasters, terrorism, war and telecommunication and electrical failures, as well as security breaches from inadvertent or intentional actions by our employees, contractors, consultants, business partners, and/or other third parties, or from cyber-attacks by malicious third parties (including the deployment of harmful malware, ransomware, denial-of-service attacks, social engineering and other means to affect service reliability and threaten the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information), which may compromise our system infrastructure or lead to data leakage. As part of our regular review of potential risks, we analyze emerging cyber security threats to us and our contractors, consultants, business partners and other third parties as well as our plans and strategies to address them. Our board of directors, which has oversight responsibility for cyber security risks, is regularly briefed by management on such analyses. Additionally, our board of directors is responsible for overseeing the adequacy of management’s conduct of threat environment and vulnerability assessments, management of cyber incidents, pursuit of projects to strengthen internal cyber security and the cyber security of our suppliers and other service providers, work with the company’s privacy and legal teams, coordination with the company’s operations teams to evaluate the cyber security implications of our products and offerings, and coordination of efforts to monitor, detect, and prevent future cyber threats. In addition, the audit committee of the board of directors annually reviews our risk profile with respect to cybersecurity matters. To the extent that any disruption or security breach were to result in a loss of, or damage to, our data or applications, or inappropriate disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, we could incur liability and reputational damage and the further development and commercialization of our products could be delayed.

While we have not experienced any such system failure, accident or security breach to date, we cannot assure you that our data protection efforts and our investment in information technology will prevent significant breakdowns, data leakages, breaches in our systems or other cyber incidents that could have a material adverse effect upon our reputation, business, operations or financial condition. For example, we maintain databases comprised of our SOLO nuclear design technical engineering information and operations information, which have been and will continue to be used to design the SOLO reactors and will be utilized in “digital twin” construction and operations environments to allow for highly efficient construction and operations of these designs. If this database were to be lost or compromised, our ability to efficiently deploy and operate our reactors could be significantly impaired.

Furthermore, significant disruptions of our internal information technology systems or security breaches could result in the loss, misappropriation, and/or unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of, or the prevention of access to, confidential information (including, but not limited to, intellectual property, proprietary business information, and personal information), which could result in financial, legal, business, and reputational harm to us. For example, any such event that leads to unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of personal information, including personal information related to our employees, could harm our reputation directly, compel us to comply with federal and/or state breach notification laws and foreign law equivalents, subject us to mandatory corrective action, and otherwise subject us to liability under laws and regulations that protect the privacy and security of personal information, which could result in significant legal and financial exposure and reputational damages that could potentially have an adverse effect on our business.

Our supply base may not be able to scale to the production levels necessary to meet sales projections.

We do not have manufacturing assets and will rely on third party manufacturers and construction firms to build SOLO, fuel fabrication facilities and associated equipment. While we are working to secure and manage sufficient third-party manufacturing capabilities and facilities, these capabilities and the facilities involve risks

27

Table of Contents

including timeline, cost, and financing risk and even if successfully developed, might not be available for our earliest SOLO deployments. Moreover, we are dependent on future supplier capability to meet production demands attendant to our forecasts. If our supply chain cannot meet the schedule demands of the market, our projected sales revenues could be materially impacted.

We rely on a limited number of suppliers for certain materials and supplied components, some of which are highly specialized and are being designed for first-of-a-kind or sole use in the SOLO. We and our third-party vendors may not be able to obtain sufficient materials or supplied components to meet our manufacturing and operating needs, or obtain such materials on favorable terms or at expected costs.

We rely on a limited number of suppliers for certain raw materials and supplied components. We may not be able to obtain sufficient raw materials or supplied components to meet our manufacturing and operating needs, or obtain such materials on favorable terms or at expected costs, which could impair our ability to fulfill our orders in a timely manner or increase our costs of production.

We do not directly manufacture any of the components of our MMRs. Our ability to manufacture our MMRs is dependent upon sufficient availability of raw materials and supplied components, including many highly technical components that are still under design, are being designed for first-of-a-kind or sole use in the SOLO and have not yet been qualified for use, are only produced by a limited number of suppliers and may be particularly susceptible to cost increases, supply chain disruptions or inflationary pressures. Any supply chain disruption incurred by our third-party suppliers or degradation in the quality and processes of our manufacturer partners, may result in delays, cost overruns or impairments to the development of our reactors.

Certain materials, such as the graphite used to line our reactor cores, is currently produced in limited number and available predominantly from a number of vendors inside and outside of the United States (e.g., Italy, Germany and Japan). Our current reliance on multi-layered international supply chains to secure raw materials and supplied components exposes us to volatility in the prices and availability of these materials, and may result in our being susceptible to changes in geopolitical relationships. We may not be able to obtain a sufficient supply of raw materials or supplied components, on favorable terms or at all, which could result in delays in, or the inability to, manufacture our MMRs or result in increased costs.

Additionally, the imposition of tariffs and impacts of inflation on raw materials or supplied components for our reactors could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Prolonged disruptions in the supply of any of our key raw materials or components, difficulty qualifying new sources of supply, implementing use of replacement materials or new sources of supply or any volatility in prices could have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate in a cost-efficient, timely manner. Such prolonged disruptions could also cause us to experience cancellations or delays of scheduled launches, customer cancellations or reductions in our prices and margins, any of which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We depend on key executives and management to execute our business plan and conduct our operations. A departure of key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our success depends, in significant part, on the continued services of our senior management team and on our ability to attract, motivate, develop and retain a sufficient number of other highly skilled personnel, including engineers, manufacturing and quality assurance, finance, marketing and sales personnel. Our senior management team has extensive experience in the energy and manufacturing industries, and we believe that their depth of experience is instrumental to our continued success. The loss of any one or more members of our senior management team, for any reason, including resignation or retirement, could impair our ability to execute our business strategy and have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition if we are unable to successfully attract and retain qualified and highly skilled replacement personnel.

Our business plan requires us to attract and retain qualified personnel including personnel with highly technical expertise. Were we not to be able to successfully recruit and retain experienced and qualified personnel, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our future success depends in part on our ability to contract with, hire, integrate, and retain highly competent nuclear reactor and fuels focused engineers and scientists, and other qualified personnel. Competition for the limited number of these skilled professionals is intense. If we are unable to adequately anticipate our needs for

28

Table of Contents

certain key competencies and implement human resource solutions to recruit or improve these competencies, our business, results of operations and financial condition would suffer. If we are unable to recruit and retain highly skilled personnel, especially personnel with sufficient technical expertise to develop our reactors and fuel, we may experience delays, increased costs and reputational harm.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and we may require additional future funding whether or not the Transactions are completed.

Based on our recurring losses and expectations to incur significant expenses and negative cash flows until at least 2028, management has identified substantial doubt about Terra Innovatum’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may be forced to liquidate our assets and the values we receive for our assets in liquidation or dissolution could be significantly lower than the values reflected in our financial statements.

To date, we have not generated any material revenue, while we have substantial overhead expenses. We do not expect to generate meaningful revenue unless and until we are able to finalize development of and commercialize SOLO and related services, and we may not be able to do so on our anticipated timetable, if at all. We expect our expenses and capital expenditures to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, including developing and advancing SOLO and other products and services, obtaining NRC design certification approval for SOLO and completing our manufacturing preparation and trials. In addition, upon the completion of the Transactions, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. Certain costs are not reasonably estimable at this time and we may require additional funding and our projections anticipate certain customer-sourced income that is not guaranteed.

We may also seek to raise capital through private or public equity or debt financings or through other sources of financing. Adequate additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategies. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our shareholders will experience dilution. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants that restrict our operations including limitations on our ability to incur liens or additional debt, pay dividends, repurchase our securities, make certain investments, and engage in certain merger, consolidation or asset sale transactions. Any debt financing or additional equity that we raise may contain terms that are not favorable to us or our stockholders and members. If the needed financing is not available, or if the terms of financing are less desirable than we expect, we may be required to delay, scale back or terminate some or all of our research and development programs.

We rely heavily on our intellectual property portfolio. Our ability to protect our patents and other intellectual property rights may be challenged and is not guaranteed. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our business and competitive position may be harmed.

We may not be able to prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property, which could harm our business and competitive position. We rely upon a combination of the intellectual property protections afforded by patents, trademarks/service marks, copyrights and trade secret laws in the United States and other jurisdictions, as well as commercial agreements such as confidentiality agreements, and license agreements to establish, maintain and enforce rights associated with our MMRs and related proprietary technologies. These measures are aimed at preventing third parties from using, practicing, selling, manufacturing, or otherwise commercially exploiting our MMRs and related technologies, which would erode our competitive position in our market. Our success depends in large part on our ability to obtain and enforce patent protection for our MMRs, as well as our ability to operate without infringing or violating the proprietary rights of others. We either own or have significant license rights to certain intellectual property applicable to our MMRs, including patent rights and pending patent applications on the same, and we will continue to file patent applications claiming new technologies directed to our MMRs in the United States and in other jurisdictions based on several factors including, but not limited to, commercial viability. Monitoring unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights is difficult and costly, and the steps we have taken or will take to prevent misappropriation may not be sufficient.

As noted above, we also rely upon unpatented trade secret protection, unpatented know-how and continuing technological innovation to develop and help maintain our business and competitive position. We seek to protect our proprietary technology, in part, by entering into confidentiality agreements with our suppliers, subcontractors,

29

Table of Contents

venture partners, employees and consultants, and other third parties. However, we may not be able to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of information which we consider to be confidential, our technical know-how or other trade secrets by the parties to these agreements, despite the existence generally of confidentiality provisions and other contractual restrictions. If any of the suppliers, subcontractors, venture partners, employees and consultants, and other third parties who are parties to these agreements breaches or violates the terms of any of these agreements, we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach or violation, and we could lose our trade secrets as a result. It is also possible that our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information could be obtained by third parties as a result of breaches of our physical or electronic security systems. Even where remedies are available, enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated our trade secrets is expensive and time consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. Courts outside the United States are sometimes less willing to protect trade secrets. Additionally, despite our efforts to protect our proprietary technology, our trade secrets could otherwise become known or be independently discovered by our competitors. If any of our trade secrets were to be lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor or other third party, we would have no right to prevent them, or those to whom they communicate, from using that technology or information to compete with us.

The patent position of our nuclear power reactors is not a guarantee of protection or rights. During the patent prosecution process, a patent office may require us or our licensors to narrow the scope of the claims of our or our licensors’ pending and future patent applications. This may limit the scope of patent protection and our or our licensors’ ability to assert patent infringement if the patent is subsequently issued. In some cases, a patent may not issue if we or our licensors are unable to overcome rejections from a patent office. By pursuing patent rights by filing a patent, we or our licensors may lose trade secrets that would have otherwise been protected had a patent not been sought and third parties may be able to exploit such published information in our patent application. Additionally, even if we obtain a patent in one jurisdiction (e.g., the United States), we cannot guarantee that we will obtain a corresponding patent in another jurisdiction (e.g., Italy) as patent laws differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Additionally, maintaining and enforcing patent rights can involve complex legal and factual questions and may be subject to litigation in some cases. For example, third parties may challenge the validity of our or our licensors’ patents based on prior art at a tribunal such as the Patent Trial and Appeal Board at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and in a federal court. Because we cannot assure that all of the potentially relevant prior art relating to our patents and patent applications has been found, third parties may prevail in invalidating a patent or preventing a patent application from being issued as a patent. If we or our licensors are able to maintain valid patents or prevail in patent challenges instituted by third parties, we or our licensors may still bear the risk of third parties “designing around” our technologies to avoid an intellectual property infringement claim.

Our patent applications may not result in issued patents, which may have a material adverse effect on our ability to prevent others from commercially exploiting products similar to ours. The status of patents involves complex legal and factual questions and the breadth of claims allowed is uncertain. As a result, we cannot be certain that the patent applications that we file will result in patents being issued, or that our patents and any patents that may be issued to us will afford protection against competitors with similar technology. Numerous patents, published pending patent applications and unpublished pending patent applications owned by others exist in the fields in which we have developed and are developing our technology. In addition to the risk of infringing those patents, those patents may also be used as a basis to invalidate our patents or prevent our patent applications from issuing as patents. Our patents may also be challenged as invalid under other prior art and/or be challenged as unenforceable. Furthermore, patent applications filed in foreign countries are subject to laws, rules and procedures that differ from those of the United States, and thus we cannot be certain that foreign patent applications related to issued U.S. patents will be issued.

Even if our patent applications succeed and we are issued patents in accordance with those applications, it is still uncertain whether these patents will be contested, circumvented, invalidated or limited in scope in the future. The rights granted under any issued patents may not provide us with meaningful protection or competitive advantages, and some foreign countries provide significantly less effective patent enforcement than in the United States. In addition, the claims of any patents that issue from our patent applications may not be broad enough to prevent others from developing technologies that are similar or that achieve results similar to ours. The intellectual property rights of others could also bar us from licensing and exploiting any patents that issue from our pending patent applications. In addition, patents issued to us may be infringed or designed around by others and others may obtain patents that we need to license or design around, either of which would increase costs and may adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

We currently enjoy only limited geographical protection with respect to certain issued patents and may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world.

We do not have worldwide patent rights for our MMRs and related proprietary technologies because there is no such thing as worldwide or “international patent rights.” Accordingly, we may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights in certain jurisdictions and their legal systems. Filing, prosecuting and defending patents on our MMRs worldwide can pose several challenges. First, procuring patent rights in multiple jurisdictions would be cost prohibitive because individual patent offices in different jurisdictions will have to examine each patent application separately. Therefore, costs such as examination fees, translation fees and attorneys’ fees are considered. Once a patent is registered, we or our licensors will also have the continued obligation of paying maintenance fees periodically to avoid patents from becoming abandoned or lapsed. Second, the breadth of claims in patents may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For instance, certain patent offices may require narrower claims, resulting in patent rights that are less extensive. Further, as noted above, we may not be able to obtain patents in some jurisdictions even if we obtain patents in other jurisdictions. Accordingly, our competitors may operate in countries where we do not have patent protection and can freely use our technologies and discoveries in such countries to the extent such technologies and discoveries are publicly known or disclosed in countries where we do have patent protection or pending patent applications.

Many countries have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grant licenses to third parties. Many countries also limit the enforceability of patents against government agencies or government contractors. In these countries, the patent owner may have limited remedies, which could materially diminish the value of such patent. If we or any of our licensors are forced to grant a license to third parties with respect to any patents relevant to our business, our competitive position may be impaired, and our business and financial condition may be adversely affected.

We may need to defend ourselves against intellectual property infringement claims, which may be time-consuming and could cause it to incur substantial fees and costs.

Companies, organizations or individuals, including our existing and future competitors, may hold or obtain patents, trademarks/service marks or other intellectual property rights that would prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to develop our intellectual property and make, use, develop, import, offer to sell or sell our MMRs and related technology, which could make it more difficult for us to operate our company. From time to time, we may receive inquiries from holders of patents or trademarks/service marks inquiring whether we are infringing their proprietary rights and/or seek court declarations that they do not infringe our intellectual property rights. Companies holding patents or other intellectual property rights similar to our technology may bring proceedings alleging infringement of such rights or otherwise asserting their rights and seeking licenses. In addition, if we are determined to have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights, we may be required to do among other things, one or more of the following: (i) cease selling, incorporating or using MMRs that incorporate the challenged intellectual property; (ii) pay substantial damages; (iii) pay for and obtain a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all; or (iv) redesign part or all of our technology. In the event of a successful claim of infringement against us and our failure or inability to obtain a license to the infringed technology, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, any litigation or claims, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management’s focus and attention.

We also license patents and other intellectual property from third parties, and we may face claims that the use of this intellectual property infringes the rights of other third parties. In such cases, we may seek indemnification from the licensors under our license contracts with those licensors or other damages. However, our rights to indemnification or damages may be unavailable or insufficient to cover our costs and losses, depending on our use of the technology, whether we choose to retain control over conduct of the litigation, and other factors.

We may not identify relevant third-party patents or may incorrectly interpret the relevance, scope or expiration of a third-party patent, which might adversely affect our ability to develop and market our MMRs.

We cannot guarantee that any of our patent searches or analyses, including the identification of relevant patents, the scope of patent claims or the expiration of relevant patents, are complete or thorough because there may be hundreds of thousands of relevant patents worldwide. We also cannot be certain that we have identified each and

31

Table of Contents

every third-party patent and pending application in the United States and abroad that is relevant to or necessary for the commercialization of our MMRs in any jurisdiction. The scope of a patent claim is generally determined by an interpretation of the law, the written disclosure in a patent, and the patent’s prosecution history. Our interpretation of the relevance or the scope of a patent or a pending application may be incorrect or not accepted by a court of competent jurisdiction. Our determination of the expiration date of any patent in the United States or abroad that we consider relevant may be incorrect or inaccurate. Our failure to identify and correctly interpret relevant patents may negatively impact our ability to develop and market our MMRs.

There are several circumstances under which a patent application may not be published and accessible to us or our licensors. For example, patent applications in the United States and many foreign jurisdictions are typically not published until 18 months after filing, but some patent applications in the United States may be maintained in secrecy until the patents are issued. Publications in the scientific literature also often lag behind actual discoveries. Therefore, we cannot be certain that others have not filed patent applications for technology covered by our issued patents or our pending applications, or that we were the first to invent the technology or to file a patent application covering the technology. Our competitors may have filed, and may in the future file, patent applications covering our MMRs or technology similar to ours without us knowing. Any such patent application may have priority over our patent applications or patents, which could require us to procure rights to issued patents covering such technologies in order to avoid infringement claims.

We may be subject to claims of ownership and other rights to our patents and other intellectual property by third parties.

We may be subject to claims that former employees, collaborators, or other third parties have an interest in our patents or other intellectual property as an owner, a joint owner, a licensee, an inventor, or a co-inventor. In the latter two cases, the failure to name the proper inventors on a patent application can result in the patents issuing thereon being unenforceable. Inventorship disputes may arise from conflicting views regarding the contributions of different individuals named as inventors, the effects of foreign laws where foreign nationals are involved in the development of the subject matter of the patent, conflicting obligations of third parties involved in developing our patented technology or as a result of questions regarding co-ownership of potential joint inventions. Litigation may be necessary to resolve these and other claims challenging inventorship and ownership. Alternatively, or additionally, we may enter into agreements to clarify the scope of our rights in such intellectual property. If we fail in defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose exclusive ownership of, or right to use or license valuable intellectual property. Such an outcome could have a material adverse effect on our business. Even if we are successful in defending against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management and other employees.

Terra Innovatum’s management has limited experience in operating a public company.

Terra Innovatum’s executive officers have limited experience in the management of a publicly traded company. Terra Innovatum’s management team may not successfully or effectively manage its transition to a public company that will be subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws. Their limited experience in dealing with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies could be a disadvantage in that it is likely that an increasing amount of their time may be devoted to these activities which will result in less time being devoted to the management and growth of New Terra Innovatum. Terra Innovatum may not have adequate personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience, and training in the accounting policies, practices or internal controls over financial reporting required of public companies in the United States. The development and implementation of the standards and controls necessary for New Terra Innovatum to achieve the level of accounting standards required of a public company in the United States may require costs greater than expected. It is possible that New Terra Innovatum will be required to expand its employee base and hire additional employees to support its operations as a public company which will increase its operating costs in future periods.

Risks Relating to Compliance with Law, Government Regulation and Litigation

A pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease in the United States or worldwide, including the outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), could adversely impact our business operations and our financial results.

If a pandemic, epidemic, or outbreak of an infectious disease, including the resurgence of COVID-19 or the outbreak of a novel strain of COVID-19, or other public health crisis were to affect our markets, facilities or our customers, our business could be adversely affected. The global spread of COVID-19 has disrupted certain aspects of our operations, including the ability of certain of our employees to collaborate in-person, and may adversely impact our business operations and financial results, including our ability to execute on our business strategy and goals. Specifically, the continued spread of COVID-19, the potential future spread of other infectious diseases and related precautionary measures may result in delays or disruptions in our supply chain, delays in the launch or execution of certain of our customers’ projects and a decrease of our operational efficiency in the development of our systems, products, technologies and services. We continue to take measures within our facilities to ensure the health and safety of our employees. These measures include rearranging facilities and work schedules to follow social distancing protocols and undertaking regular and thorough disinfecting of surfaces and tools. However, there can be no assurance that these measures will prevent disruptions due to COVID-19 or other infectious diseases within our workforce. These measures have also resulted in the reduction of operational efficiency within our impacted workforce, and we expect they will continue to do so.

The COVID-19 pandemic has also resulted in, and other infectious diseases could result in, significant disruption and volatility of global financial markets. This disruption and volatility may adversely impact our ability to access capital. In the future, this could negatively affect our liquidity and capital resources. Given the rapid and evolving nature of the impact of the virus, responsive measures taken by governmental authorities and the continued uncertainty about its impact on society and the global economy, we cannot predict the extent to which it will affect our operations, particularly if these impacts persist or worsen over an extended period of time. To the extent COVID-19 adversely affects our business operations and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section.

Our business is subject to the policies, priorities, regulations, mandates of multiple governmental entities and may be negatively or positively impacted by any change thereto.

We are subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations relating to various aspects of our business, including with respect to use and possession of radioactive materials; design, manufacture, operations, marketing and export of nuclear technologies; employment and labor; tax; data security of the operational and information technology we use; health and safety; zoning and environmental issues. Laws and regulations at the foreign, federal, state and local levels frequently change and are often interpreted in different ways, especially in relation to new and emerging industries, and we cannot always reasonably predict the impact from, or the ultimate cost of compliance with, current or future regulatory or administrative changes. While we monitor these developments and devote a significant amount of management’s time and external resources towards compliance with these laws, regulations and guidelines, we cannot guarantee that these measures will be satisfactory to regulators or other third parties, such as our customers, who are also subject to extensive governmental regulation. Our efforts to comply with new and changing laws and regulations may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention. Moreover, changes in law, the imposition of new or additional regulations or the enactment of any new or more stringent legislation that impacts our business could require us to change the way we operate and could have a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability, cash flows, financial condition, and lead to regulatory delays that could impact our ability to obtain licenses, certificates, authorizations, permits, approvals, and/or certifications from regulatory agencies (collectively referred to herein as “regulatory approvals”).

Our MMRs are subject to regulations in all jurisdictions related to nuclear safety, environmental, and financial qualification. Regulatory approvals, such as construction permits and operating licenses issued by the NRC, are necessary for our customers to construct and operate our MMRs. Our plans to deploy MMRs rely on timely receipt of such regulatory approvals in the jurisdictions in which we seek to do business. Such regulatory approval processes may be subject to change, can be technically challenging to address, may result in the imposition of conditions that impact the financial viability of our MMR products, and may also provide opportunities for third parties to lodge objections or seek more stringent requirements for our products.

Table of Contents

Lastly, all of our facilities are subject to regulations regarding human health and safety, wastewater, stormwater, air emissions and storage of materials like petroleum. If we fail to comply with these laws and regulations, we could be subject to fines or penalties from local, state, and federal regulators.

Uncertain global macro-economic and political conditions could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our results of operations are materially affected by economic and political conditions in the United States and internationally, including inflation, deflation, interest rates, availability of capital, energy and commodity prices, trade laws and the effects of governmental initiatives to manage economic conditions. Current or potential customers may delay or decrease spending on our products and services as their business and budgets are impacted by economic conditions. The inability of current and potential customers to pay us for our products and services may adversely affect our earnings and cash flows.

Ongoing global supply chain disruptions have increasingly affected both the availability and cost of raw materials, component manufacturing and deliveries. These disruptions may result in delays in equipment deliveries and cost escalations that could adversely affect our business.

We could be subject to stringent export and import control laws and regulations depending on the jurisdictions in which we will operate. Unfavorable changes in these laws and regulations, our failure to secure timely required authorizations under these laws and regulations, or our failure to comply with these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If and when required, the inability to secure and maintain required export licenses or authorizations could negatively impact our ability to compete successfully or market our MMR technology for commercial applications. If we were unable to obtain authorization to export our technology, hardware, code or technical assistance, we would experience a limited market for our technology, which would provide a competitive edge to international suppliers of MMRs. In both cases, these restrictions could lead to an adverse impact on our ability to sell our commercial technology. Similarly, if we were unable to secure export authorization, we may need to implement design changes to our MMRs to address issues with our domestic supplier chain, which may increase costs or result in delays in delivery of new plants and subsequent additional MMRs when ordered.

Failure to comply with export control laws and regulations could expose us to civil or criminal penalties, fines, investigations, more onerous compliance requirements, and loss of export privileges. Any changes in export control regulations may restrict our operations.

Changes in international trade policies, tariffs and treaties affecting imports and exports may have a material adverse effect on our performance or business prospects.

There have recently been significant changes to international trade policies and tariffs affecting imports and exports. Any significant increases in tariffs on raw materials or supplied components for our reactors could negatively affect our performance or business prospects.

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.

We are part of the nuclear power industry, which is highly regulated. Our MMR designs similarly differ from reactors currently in operation, including with respect to potential industrial uses. As a result, the regulatory licensing and approval process for our nuclear power plants may be delayed and made more costly.

The nuclear power industry is highly regulated. All entities that operate nuclear power facilities, fabricate nuclear fuel and transport nuclear materials in the United States are subject to the jurisdiction of the NRC (except for those facilities and applications separately regulated by the DOE), and entities performing the same activities in other countries are subject to regulation by the NRC’s counterparts around the world. Our MMR designs differ in

34

Table of Contents

some respects from the reactors used today at commercial nuclear power facilities. These differences could result in more prolonged and extensive review by the NRC and its counterparts around the world that could cause reactor development program delays and delays in commercialization

Our reactor development timeline relies on the relevant nuclear regulator to accept and approve technical information and documentation about our reactor designs in the course of any design-specific licensing, certification, approval or similar process, or in the course of facility-specific licensing. There is a risk that regulators may require additional information regarding the reactor’s behavior or performance that necessitates additional, unplanned analytical and/or experimental work which could cause schedule delays and require more research and development funding.

These key materials and components may also be particularly vulnerable to inflationary pressures and cost increases.

The equipment, components, and materials used in a nuclear power plant are subject to a heightened level of manufacturing and quality assurance scrutiny, in compliance with NRC regulations, applicable codes and nuclear industry standards. Moreover, it is critical to demonstrate in facility design and development that the materials used in the facility that will be exposed to radiation will perform in accordance with necessary design parameters. The heightened manufacturing and quality assurance requirements and regulatory oversight limit the number of potential suppliers from whom we can procure many types of equipment, components, and materials used in our reactors, as well as the types of facilities where we can test certain materials. These suppliers and the key materials and essential components may be particularly vulnerable to price increases, as a result of supply and demand dynamics, inflation and other price pressures. As a result, supplier delays, unexpected performance testing results, issues in the manufacturing process or procuring necessary materials, international procurement needs, regulatory compliance issues, component qualification issues or delays, increases in costs as a result of inflation or otherwise, and geopolitical considerations can all impact our ability to perform necessary R&D, assist a customer in licensing a reactor, construct and assist customers in operating a Terra Innovatum reactor design. This could impact our project timelines and costs, as well as affect potential customer interest in our reactors.

The public has the ability to intervene in licensing proceedings before the NRC for a reactor.

Under the Atomic Energy Act and the implementing NRC regulations, members of the public, state, or tribal governments may request a public hearing opposing the issuance of any NRC permit or license, or challenging portions of the license or permit application or of the NRC’s review. Certain NRC actions also include provision for a mandatory administrative hearing regardless of whether any contentions are submitted in conjunction with the action. These hearing processes may delay or prevent the issuance of required regulatory approvals (e.g., permits or licenses) for a customer’s MMR.

The SOLO designs have not yet been approved or licensed for use at any site by the NRC, and approval or licensing of these designs is not guaranteed.

Terra Innovatum submitted its regulatory engagement plan to the NRC in January 2025. Notwithstanding these actions, the SOLO designs have yet been licensed, certified or approved by the NRC, and no currently operating NRC-regulated reactor uses technology we use in SOLO.

If the NRC disagrees with our, or our customers’, licensing approach or the technical bases supporting the nuclear safety and environmental impact evaluations, the construction and operating license application processes could take longer than currently expected, or a license may not be granted at all, which could materially and adversely affect our business. Further, the NRC could impose conditions in a license that are not acceptable to us or our customers, which could materially and adversely affect our business. Any delays, conditions or unexpected requirements may increase costs for us or our customers and may result in uncertainty regarding the ability to deploy our technology in a predictable way, which may adversely impact our competitiveness.

35

Table of Contents

Even if the SOLO is licensed in the United States, we must still obtain approvals on a country-by-country basis to deploy these reactor technologies, which approvals may be delayed or denied or which may require modification to our design.

Even if the SOLO is licensed, certified and/or approved in the United States, if we are to deploy our technology in other countries, we must first obtain regulatory approvals for our technology in those countries. The regulatory framework to obtain approvals is complex, varies from country to country, and may involve authorities on a sub-national or local level. Timelines are likely to be longer for initial deployments of our technology in any jurisdiction, as regulatory agencies may not be familiar with our technology and how it differs from the technology used in legacy nuclear power facilities. Moreover, other countries’ approval processes may differ markedly from the NRC process, or they may require that we alter aspects of our design before providing approval. Denial or delay in approvals abroad could materially and adversely affect our business outside of the United States.

Our customers could incur substantial costs as a result of violations of, or liabilities under, environmental laws.

The operations and properties of our customers are subject to a variety of federal, state, local and foreign environmental, health and safety laws and regulations governing, among other things, air emissions, wastewater discharges, management and disposal of hazardous, non-hazardous and radioactive materials and waste and remediation of releases of hazardous materials. Although Terra Innovatum’s business is to design and sell technology rather than to construct and own or operate power plants, we must design our technology so it complies with such laws and regulations. Compliance with environmental requirements could require our customers to incur significant expenditures or result in significant restrictions on their operations, and the failure to comply with such laws and regulations, including failing to obtain any necessary permits, could result in substantial fines or enforcement actions, including regulatory or judicial orders enjoining or curtailing operations or requiring our customers to conduct or fund remedial or corrective measures, install pollution control equipment or perform other actions. More vigorous enforcement by regulatory agencies, the future enactment of more stringent laws, regulations or permit requirements, including relating to climate change, or other unanticipated events may arise in the future and adversely impact the market for our products or demand for our products from our customers, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our MMRs may not qualify as low-emissions or emissions-free pursuant to regulatory or incentive frameworks that consider emissions on a lifecycle basis or that otherwise account for fuel-cycle emissions or energy consumption.

While our MMRs generate no air emissions during operations, including no so-called greenhouse gases, our MMRs may nonetheless not qualify as providers of emissions-free, carbon-free, low-carbon or similar generating resources under emissions-limitation schemes that assess emissions on a lifecycle basis or that otherwise consider emissions from energy consumed in our fuel cycle. The failure of our MMRs to qualify for inclusion in emissions reduction or climate change related emissions control schemes, or emissions-based incentive programs may result in higher costs or lower revenues for us or our customers, and may adversely impact the demand for our products from our customers, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may become involved in litigation that may materially adversely affect us.

From time to time, we may become involved in various legal proceedings relating to matters incidental to the ordinary course of our business, including intellectual property, commercial, product liability, employment, class action, whistleblower and other litigation and claims, and governmental and other regulatory investigations and proceedings. Such matters can be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources from the operation of our business and cause us to incur significant expenses or liability or require us to change our business practices. Because of the potential risks, expenses and uncertainties of litigation, from time to time, we may settle disputes, even where we believe that we have meritorious claims or defenses. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable, we cannot assure you that the results of any of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our business.

New Terra Innovatum’s failure to timely and effectively implement controls and procedures required by Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that will be applicable to it after the Business Combination is consummated could negatively impact its business.

Terra Innovatum is currently not subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. However, upon the consummation of the Business Combination, New Terra Innovatum will be required to provide management’s attestation on internal controls. The standards required for a public company under Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are significantly more stringent than those required of Terra Innovatum as a privately held company. Management may not be able to effectively and timely implement controls and procedures that adequately respond to the increased regulatory compliance and reporting requirements that will be applicable after the Business Combination. If New Terra Innovatum management is unable to conclude that we have effective internal control over financial reporting, or to certify the effectiveness of such controls, and our independent registered public accounting firm cannot render an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at such time as it is required to do so, and material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting are identified, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny, a loss of public and investor confidence, and to litigation from investors and shareholders, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our stock price. In addition, if we do not maintain adequate financial and management personnel, processes and controls, we may not be able to manage our business effectively or accurately report our financial performance on a timely basis, which could cause a decline in our ordinary shares price and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Failure to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC, the exchange upon which our securities are listed or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.

Risks Relating to Terra Innovatum’s Capital Resources

Our business requires substantial investment.

At the time of the Business Combination, the aggregate capital anticipated to be held by us will not be sufficient to finance the total capital required for the business plan. To the extent we have significant redemptions in connection with this Business Combination or are unable to raise the level of capital we contemplate as part of the Business Combination, we will be required to make significant adjustments to our business plans in light of our available capital resources. For example, we will have to reduce future costs, which could materially impact our business plan, including potentially requiring us not to not pursue some of our other strategic objectives and/or limit the resources available to further develop our design, sales and manufacturing efforts.

In order to fulfill our business plan, we will require additional funding. To the extent we require such additional investor funding in the future, such funding may be dilutive to our investors and no assurances can be provided as to terms of any such funding. Any such funding and the associated terms will be highly dependent upon market conditions and the progress of our business at the time we seek such funding. The terms of any financing that we pursue may be less favorable than previously anticipated and could become even less favorable depending on the amount of funds we may require.

Our business is capital intensive. We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations, including commercialization efforts, expanded research and development activities and costs associated with operating a public company. To raise capital, we may enter into financing arrangements that may be costly or impose certain restrictive covenants or otherwise restrict our ability to seek additional leverage or financing. We may also seek to sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and new investors could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior to the holders of our ordinary shares. Pursuant to the New Terra Innovatum Incentive Plan, which will become effective upon the Closing, our board is authorized to grant compensatory equity awards to our employees, directors and consultants. If the number of shares reserved under our New Terra Innovatum Incentive Plan is increased pursuant to the terms of the New Terra Innovatum Incentive Plan, our shareholders may experience additional dilution, which could cause our stock price to fall. Any of the above events could significantly harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations and cause the price of our ordinary shares to decline.

Our corporate expenditures, including our corporate level expenses, are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties.

Our current and future operating expenses are uncertain and impacted by various factors outside of our control, including rising costs and other impacts of inflation, evolving regulatory requirements, raw material availability, global conflicts, global supply chain challenges and component manufacturing and testing uncertainties, among other factors. Accordingly, it is possible that our overall expenses and related outspend could be higher than the levels we currently estimate, and any increases could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may experience a disproportionately higher impact from inflation and rising costs.

Recently, inflation has increased. Inflation has resulted in, and may continue to result in, higher interest rates and capital costs, higher shipping costs, higher material costs, supply shortages, increased costs of labor and other similar effects. Although the impact of material cost, labor, or other inflationary or economically driven factors will impact the entire nuclear and energy transition industry (including renewable sources of electricity, like solar and wind), the relative impact may not be the same across the industry, and the particular effects within the industry will depend on a number of factors, including material use, design, structure of supply agreements, project management and others, which could result in significant changes to the competitiveness of our technology and our ability to sell SOLO reactors, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we incur indebtedness in the future, we could be exposed to risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In the future, we may incur additional indebtedness. Our indebtedness could have significant negative consequences for our security holders, business, results of operations and financial condition by, among other things:

        increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions;

        limiting our ability to obtain additional financing;

        requiring the dedication of a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness, which will reduce the amount of cash available for other purposes;

        limiting our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business; and

        placing us at a possible competitive disadvantage with competitors that are less leveraged than us or have better access to capital.

Our business may not generate sufficient funds, and we may otherwise be unable to maintain sufficient cash reserves, to pay any additional indebtedness that we may incur. Any future indebtedness that we may incur may contain financial and other restrictive covenants that will limit our ability to operate our business, raise capital or make payments under our indebtedness. If we fail to comply with such covenants or to make payments under any of our indebtedness when due, then we would be in default under that indebtedness, which could, in turn, result in that indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full and cross-default or cross-acceleration under our other indebtedness and other liabilities.

Our actual operating results may differ significantly from our guidance.

From time to time, we may release guidance in our quarterly earnings releases, quarterly earnings conference calls, or otherwise once we are a public company, regarding our future performance that represents our management’s estimates as of the date of release. This guidance, which includes forward-looking statements, will be based on projections prepared by our management. These projections are not expected to be prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and neither our registered public accountants nor any other independent expert or outside party is expected to comply or examine the projections. Accordingly, no such person is expected to express any opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to the projections.

38

Table of Contents

Projections are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while presented with numerical specificity, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, and are based upon specific assumptions with respect to future business decisions, some of which will change. Any material change to the assumptions or estimates underlying the projections management prepares, or any material overruns or other unexpected increase in costs, could have a material adverse effect on the projections and the guidance on which it is based. The rapidly evolving market in which we operate may make it difficult to evaluate our current business and our future prospects, including our ability to plan for and model future growth. We intend to state possible outcomes as high and low ranges which are intended to provide a sensitivity analysis as variables are changed. However, actual results will vary from our guidance and the variations may be material. The principal reason that we release guidance is to provide a basis for our management to discuss our business outlook as of the date of release with analysts and investors. We do not accept any responsibility for any projections or reports published by any such persons. Investors are urged not to rely upon our guidance in making an investment decision regarding our ordinary shares.

Any failure to successfully implement our operating strategy or the occurrence of any of the events or circumstances set forth in this “Risk Factors” section could result in our actual operating results being different from our guidance, and the differences may be adverse and material.

Our financial results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

We expect our revenue and operating results to vary from quarter to quarter. We may incur significant operating expenses during the start-up and early stages of contracts and may not be able to recognize corresponding revenue in that same quarter. We may also incur additional expenses when contracts are terminated or expire and are not renewed. We may also incur additional expenses when companies are newly acquired.

Additional factors that may cause our financial results to fluctuate from quarter to quarter include those addressed elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section and the following factors, among others:

        the terms of customer contracts that affect the timing of revenue recognition;

        variability in demand for our services and solutions;

        commencement, completion or termination of contracts during any particular quarter;

        timing of award or performance incentive fee notices;

        timing of significant bid and proposal costs;

        the costs of remediating unknown defects, errors or performance problems of our product offerings;

        restrictions on and delays related to the export of nuclear articles and services;

        costs related to government inquiries;

        strategic decisions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions, divestitures, spin-offs and joint ventures;

        strategic investments or changes in business strategy;

        changes in the extent to which we use subcontractors;

        seasonal fluctuations in our staff utilization rates;

        changes in our effective tax rate, including changes in our judgment as to the necessity of the valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets; and

        the length of sales cycles.

Significant fluctuations in our operating results for a particular quarter could cause us to fall out of compliance with the financial covenants related to our debt, which if not waived, could restrict our access to capital and cause us to take extreme measures to pay down the debt, if any.

39

Table of Contents

If we experience significant fluctuations in our operating results and rate of growth and fail to meet revenue and earnings expectations, our stock price may fall rapidly and without advance notice.

Due to our limited operating history, our unproven and evolving business model and the unpredictability of our emerging industry, we may not be able to accurately forecast our rate of growth. We base our current and future expense levels and our investment plans on estimates of future revenue and future rate of growth. Our expenses and investments are, to a large extent, not fixed and we expect that these expenses will increase in the future. We may not be able to adjust our spending quickly enough if our revenue falls short of our expectations.

Our results of operations depend on both the growth of demand for the products and services we are going to offer in future and the general economic and business conditions throughout the world. A softening of demand for our products and services for any reason will harm our operating results. Terrorist attacks, armed hostilities and wars in the past created, and may in the future create economic and business uncertainty that may also adversely affect our results of operations.

Our revenue and operating results may also fluctuate due to other factors, including:

        our ability of the design, developing, manufacturing and sales of smaller, cheaper, and safer advanced clean energy solutions, including nuclear reactors.

        assumptions relating to the size of the market for our nuclear reactors.

        unanticipated regulations of nuclear energy that add barriers to our business and have a negative effect on our operations.

        our estimates of expenses, future revenue, capital requirements and our needs for, or ability to obtain, additional financing.

        new product and service introductions by our competitors.

        technical difficulties or interruptions in our service.

        general economic conditions in our geographic markets.

        additional investment in our service or operations.

        regulatory compliance costs.

As a result of these and other factors, we expect that our operating results may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis. We believe that period-to period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful, and you should not rely upon them as an indication of future performance.

Changes in our accounting estimates and assumptions could negatively affect our financial position and results of operations.

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. We are also required to make certain judgments that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each reporting period. We periodically evaluate our estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, those relating to business acquisitions, revenue recognition, recoverability of assets including customer receivables, contingencies, valuation of financial instruments, stock-based compensation and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable based on specific circumstances. These assumptions and estimates involve the exercise of judgment and discretion, which may evolve over time in light of operational experience, regulatory direction, developments in accounting principles and other factors. Actual results could differ from these estimates as a result of changes in circumstances, assumptions, policies or developments in the business, which could materially affect our financial statements.

Our ability to pay dividends may be limited and the level of future dividends is subject to change.

We do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. Payment of dividends on our shares in the future will be subject to business conditions, financial conditions, earnings, cash balances, commitments, strategic plans and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant at the time it recommends approval of the dividend. Any dividend policy, once adopted, will be subject to change based on changes in statutory requirements, market trends, strategic developments, capital requirements and a number of other factors. In addition, under the Articles of Association and Dutch law, dividends may be declared on the Ordinary Shares only if the amount of equity exceeds the paid up and called up capital plus the reserves that have to be maintained pursuant to Dutch law or the Articles of Association. Further, even if we are permitted under the Articles of Association and Dutch law to pay cash dividends on our shares, we may not have sufficient cash to pay dividends in cash on our shares. We will be a holding company and our operations will be carried out through our subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to pay dividends will primarily depend on the ability of our subsidiaries to generate earnings and to provide us with the necessary financial resources.

It may be difficult to enforce U.S. judgments against us.

Following the Business Combination, we will be a company incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands, and a substantial portion of our assets will be outside of the United States. Most of our directors and senior management will be resident outside the United States, and all or a substantial portion of our respective assets may be located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for U.S. investors to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons. It may also be difficult for U.S. investors to enforce within the United States judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts outside the United States would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors and officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. Therefore, it may be difficult to enforce U.S. judgments against us, our directors and officers and independent auditors.

Fluctuations in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates and Withholding Taxes May Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations and Cash Flows

The financial statements included in this registration statement are presented in U.S. dollars, while a substantial portion of Terra Innovatum Global S.r.l.’s revenues, expenses and capital expenditures are denominated in euros. Accordingly, we are exposed to fluctuations in the euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate, which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows. For example, a strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the euro would reduce the reported U.S. dollar value of our euro-denominated revenues and assets, while a weakening of the U.S. dollar would increase the U.S. dollar value of our euro-denominated expenses and liabilities. Although we may enter into hedging arrangements to partially mitigate foreign currency risk, such transactions may not fully offset adverse movements, may entail significant costs and may expose us to additional risks, including counterparty credit risk and accounting volatility.

In addition, under Italian law, payments of dividends and interest by our Italian subsidiaries to U.S. or other non-Italian shareholders may be subject to withholding taxes at rates up to 26% unless reduced by an applicable tax treaty. Such withholding could reduce the net amount of cash available for distribution to our shareholders, adversely impact the attractiveness of our ordinary shares to certain investors and, in certain circumstances, require us to incur additional costs to secure treaty relief or obtain tax indemnities. Any changes in Italian or U.S. withholding tax rates, amendments to existing treaties or interpretations by tax authorities could further increase our tax burden and reduce the value of your investment.

Risks Related to the Business Combination and GSR III

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this subsection to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to GSR III prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how GSR III’s public shareholders vote.

The Sponsor and each director and officer of GSR III have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in the case of the Sponsor, subject also to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement. As of the date of this proxy

41

Table of Contents

statement/prospectus, the Sponsor owns 20% of GSR III’s issued and outstanding GSR III Ordinary Shares. The Business Combination is not structured so that approval of at least a majority of unaffiliated public shareholders of GSR III is required.

We may be forced to close the Business Combination even if we determined it is no longer in our shareholders’ best interest.

Our public shareholders are protected from a material adverse event of Terra Innovatum arising between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the Closing primarily by the right to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Accordingly, if a material adverse event were to occur after approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals at the extraordinary general meeting, we may be forced to close the Business Combination even if we determine it is no longer in our shareholders’ best interest to do so (as a result of such material adverse event) which could have a significant negative impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Additionally, if we do not obtain shareholder approval at the extraordinary general meeting, Terra Innovatum can obligate us to hold additional extraordinary general meetings to vote on the Proposals until the earlier of such shareholder approval being obtained and December 31, 2025. This could limit our ability to seek an alternative business combination that our shareholders may prefer after such initial vote.

Since the Sponsor and GSR III’s directors and officers have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of our shareholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination with Terra Innovatum is appropriate as our initial business combination. Such interests include that Sponsor will lose its entire investment in us if our business combination is not completed.

When you consider the recommendation of GSR III’s board of directors in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and GSR III’s directors and officers have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of GSR III shareholders and warrant holders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

        Prior to GSR III’s initial public offering, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 GSR III Class B ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.005 per share. As a result of the significantly lower investment per share of our Sponsor as compared with the investment per share of our public shareholders, a transaction which results in an increase in the value of the investment of the Sponsor may result in a decrease in the value of the investment of our public shareholders. In addition, if GSR III does not consummate a business combination by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor), it would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming all of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidating and dissolving, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the 5,000,000 GSR III Class B ordinary shares owned by the Sponsor would be worthless because following the redemption of the public shares, GSR III would likely have few, if any, net assets and because the Sponsor and GSR III’s directors and officers have agreed to waive their respective rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account in respect of any GSR III Class A ordinary shares and GSR III Class B ordinary shares held by it or them, as applicable, if GSR III fails to complete a business combination within the required period.

        GSR III’s directors and executive officers, also have a direct or indirect economic interest in such 5,750,000 GSR III Class B ordinary shares owned by the Sponsor. The 5,750,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares into which the 5,750,000 GSR III Class B ordinary shares held by the Sponsor will automatically convert in connection with the Business Combination, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of $65.1 million based upon the closing price of $11.32 per public share on Nasdaq on June 23, 2025, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. However, given that such PubCo Ordinary Shares will be subject to certain restrictions, including those described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, GSR III believes such shares have less value.

42

Table of Contents

        GSR III’s existing directors and officers will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under GSR III’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination and pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

        In order to protect the amounts held in GSR III’s trust account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to GSR III if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to GSR III, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account and except as to any claims under the indemnity of the underwriters of GSR III’s initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

        GSR III’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial business combination. However, if GSR III fails to consummate a business combination by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor), they will not have any claim against the trust account for reimbursement. Accordingly, GSR III may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed by such date.

        Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Sponsor, certain members of Terra Innovatum and the will have customary registration rights, including demand and piggy-back rights, subject to cooperation and cut-back provisions with respect to the PubCo Ordinary Shares held by such parties upon the Closing.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of GSR III’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of GSR III and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, GSR III’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “— Interests of GSR III’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

The personal and financial interests of the Sponsor as well as GSR III’s directors and officers may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting Terra Innovatum as a business combination target, completing an initial business combination with Terra Innovatum and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination. In considering the recommendations of GSR III’s board of directors to vote for the proposals, its shareholders should consider these interests.

The exercise of GSR III’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in GSR III’s shareholders’ best interest.

In the period leading up to the Closing, events may occur that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, would require GSR III to agree to amend the Business Combination Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by Terra Innovatum or to waive rights that GSR III is entitled to under the Business Combination Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of Terra Innovatum’s business or a request by Terra Innovatum to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at GSR III’s discretion, acting through its board of directors, to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of the directors described in the preceding risk factors (and described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus) may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is best for GSR III and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, GSR III does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that GSR III’s directors and executive officers would be likely to make after shareholder approval of the BCA Proposal has been obtained. While certain changes could be made

43

Table of Contents

without further shareholder approval, GSR III will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicit GSR III’s shareholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on its shareholders are required prior to the vote on the BCA Proposal.

GSR III and Terra Innovatum will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination.

GSR III and Terra Innovatum have both incurred and expect to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the Business Combination and operating as a public company upon the Closing. GSR III and Terra Innovatum may also incur additional costs to retain key employees. Certain transaction costs incurred in connection with the Business Combination Agreement (including the Business Combination), including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, will be paid by PubCo upon the Closing.

The announcement of the proposed Business Combination could disrupt Terra Innovatum’s relationships with its customers, suppliers, business partners and others, as well as its operating results and business generally.

Whether or not the Business Combination and related transactions are ultimately consummated, as a result of uncertainty related to the proposed transactions, risks relating to the impact of the announcement of the Business Combination on Terra Innovatum’s business include the following:

        its employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles, which might adversely affect PubCo’s ability to retain and hire key personnel and other employees;

        customers, suppliers, business partners and other parties with which Terra Innovatum maintains business relationships may experience uncertainty about its future and seek alternative relationships with third parties, seek to alter their business relationships with Terra Innovatum or fail to extend an existing relationship with PubCo; and

        Terra Innovatum has expended and will continue to expend significant costs, fees and expenses for professional services and transaction costs in connection with the proposed Business Combination.

If any of the aforementioned risks were to materialize, they could lead to significant costs which may impact Terra Innovatum and, in the future, PubCo’s results of operations and cash available to fund its business.

Subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo may be exposed to unknown or contingent liabilities and may be required to subsequently take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition, results of operations and its share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

We cannot assure you that the due diligence conducted in relation to Terra Innovatum has identified all material issues or risks associated with Terra Innovatum, its business or the industry in which it competes. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that factors outside of Terra Innovatum’s and our control will not later arise. As a result of these factors, we may be exposed to liabilities and incur additional costs and expenses and we may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our reporting losses. Even if our due diligence has identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. If any of these risks materialize, this could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and could contribute to negative market perceptions about our securities or PubCo. Additionally, we have no indemnification rights against the Terra Innovatum Stockholders under the Business Combination Agreement and all of the purchase price consideration will be delivered at the Closing.

Accordingly, any shareholders of GSR III who choose to remain PubCo stockholders following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such shareholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by our directors or officers of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the registration statement or proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

Table of Contents

The historical financial results of Terra Innovatum and unaudited pro forma financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be indicative of what PubCo’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been.

The historical financial results of Terra Innovatum included in this proxy statement/prospectus do not reflect the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows they would have achieved as a standalone public company during the periods presented or those PubCo will achieve in the future.

This is primarily the result of the following factors: (i) PubCo will incur additional ongoing costs as a result of the Business Combination, including costs related to public company reporting, investor relations and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and (ii) PubCo’s capital structure will be different from that reflected in Terra Innovatum’s historical financial statements. PubCo’s financial condition and future results of operations could be materially different from amounts reflected in its historical financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, so it may be difficult for investors to compare PubCo’s future results to historical results or to evaluate its relative performance or trends in its business.

Similarly, the unaudited pro forma financial information in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and has been prepared based on a number of assumptions including, but not limited to, GSR III being treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes in the Business Combination, the total debt obligations and the cash and cash equivalents of Terra Innovatum on the Closing Date and the number of GSR III Class A ordinary shares that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. Accordingly, such pro forma financial information may not be indicative of PubCo’s future operating or financial performance and PubCo’s actual financial condition and results of operations may vary materially from PubCo’s pro forma results of operations and balance sheet contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, including as a result of such assumptions not being accurate. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo’s only significant asset will be its ownership interest in Terra Innovatum and such ownership may not be sufficient to satisfy our financial obligations.

Upon the Closing, PubCo will have no direct operations and no significant assets other than its ownership of Terra Innovatum and of GSR III. GSR III and our shareholders, the Terra Innovatum quotaholders, and directors and officers of Terra Innovatum and its affiliates will become shareholders of PubCo. We will depend on Terra Innovatum for distributions, loans and other payments to generate the funds necessary to meet our financial obligations, including our expenses as a publicly traded company and to pay any dividends with respect to PubCo Ordinary Shares. The financial condition and operating requirements of Terra Innovatum may limit our ability to obtain cash from Terra Innovatum. The earnings from, or other available assets of, Terra Innovatum may not be sufficient to pay dividends or make distributions or loans to enable us to pay any dividends on PubCo Ordinary Shares or satisfy our other financial obligations.

This lack of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory risks, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to our Business Combination.

We have a specified maximum redemption threshold. This redemption threshold may make it more difficult for us to complete the Business Combination as contemplated.

The Business Combination Agreement provides that the parties’ obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on, among other things, that as of the Closing, the GSR III Available Cash Condition is satisfied.

If such condition is not met, and such condition is not or cannot be waived under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, then the Business Combination Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated. The Business Combination Agreement also contains a mutual condition that GSR III as of the Closing, GSR III shall have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001. This is also a requirement under GSR III Organizational Documents.

45

Table of Contents

There can be no assurance that any of the parties would waive the GSR III Available Cash Condition. Furthermore, as provided in the GSR III Organization Documents, in no event will we redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. If such conditions are not met, and such conditions are not or cannot be waived under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, then the Business Combination Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated.

If such conditions are waived and the Business Combination is consummated with less than the GSR III Available Cash Condition in the trust account, the cash held by PubCo and its subsidiaries (including Terra Innovatum) in the aggregate, after the Closing may not be sufficient to allow us to operate and pay our bills as they become due. Furthermore, our affiliates are not obligated to make loans to us in the future (other than our Sponsor’s commitment to provide us loans in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination). The additional exercise of redemption rights with respect to a large number of our public shareholders may make us unable to take such actions as may be desirable in order to optimize the capital structure of PubCo after consummation of the Business Combination and we may not be able to raise additional financing from unaffiliated parties necessary to fund our expenses and liabilities after the Closing. Any such event in the future may negatively impact the analysis regarding our ability to continue as a going concern at such time.

If GSR III is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, it may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and its activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for GSR III to complete its initial business combination.

If GSR III is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, its activities may be restricted, including:

        restrictions on the nature of its investments; and

        restrictions on the issuance of securities, each of which may make it difficult to complete its initial business combination.

In addition, GSR III may have imposed upon it burdensome requirements, including:

        registration as an investment company;

        adoption of a specific form of corporate structure; and

        reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy and disclosure requirements and other rules and regulations.

In order not to be regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, unless GSR III can qualify for an exclusion, GSR III must ensure that we are engaged primarily in a business other than investing, reinvesting or trading of securities and that its activities do not include investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading “investment securities” constituting more than 40% of its assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. GSR III’s business will be to identify and complete a business combination and thereafter to operate the post-transaction business or assets for the long term. GSR III does not plan to buy businesses or assets with a view to resale or profit from their resale. GSR III does not plan to buy unrelated businesses or assets or to be a passive investor.

GSR III does not believe that its anticipated principal activities will subject it to the Investment Company Act. To this end, the proceeds held in the trust account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. To mitigate the risk that GSR III might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that GSR III holds investments in the trust account, GSR III may, at any time (and will no later than 15 months (or up to 18 months with extensions) from the closing of this offering) instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the trust account and instead to hold the funds in the trust account in cash or in an interest bearing demand deposit account.

Pursuant to the trust agreement, the trustee is not permitted to invest in other securities or assets. By restricting the investment of the proceeds to these instruments, and by having a business plan targeted at acquiring and growing businesses for the long term (rather than on buying and selling businesses in the manner of a merchant bank or private equity fund), GSR III intends to avoid being deemed an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. The IPO of GSR III was not intended for persons who are seeking a return on investments in government securities or investment securities. The trust account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of: (i) the completion of its initial business combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend its amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to offer redemption rights in connection with any proposed initial business combination or certain amendments to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation prior thereto or to redeem 100% of its public shares if GSR III does not complete its initial business combination within the completion window; or (B) with respect to any other material provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; or (iii) absent an initial business combination within the completion window, from the closing of this offering, its return of the funds held in the trust account to its public stockholders as part of its redemption of the public shares.

On January 24, 2024, the SEC issued final rules (the “2024 SPAC Rules”), effective as of 125 days following the publication of the 2024 SPAC Rules in the Federal Register. The 2024 SPAC Rules, among other items, could impact the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act. The 2024 SPAC Rules may materially adversely affect its business, including its ability to negotiate and complete, and the costs associated with, its initial business combination, and results of operations.

If GSR III were deemed to be an unregistered investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, compliance with these additional regulatory burdens would require additional expenses for which GSR III has not allotted funds and could increase the costs and time needed to complete a business combination or impair its ability to complete a business combination. If GSR III has not completed its initial business combination within the required time period, and as a result wind down its operations, investors will lose the investment opportunity in the target business and any price appreciation in the combined company, its public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share, or less in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of its trust account and its public warrants and public rights will expire worthless. If its facts and circumstances change over time, we will update its disclosure to reflect how those changes impact the risk of being considered as operating an unregistered investment company.

Certain insiders may elect to purchase shares from public shareholders prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of our securities.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding GSR III or its securities and subject to applicable securities laws, the GSR III Initial Shareholders, Terra Innovatum and/or their respective directors, officers, advisors or Affiliates may purchase public shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares or vote their public shares in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record or beneficial holder of Class A Shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the GSR III Initial Shareholders, Terra Innovatum and/or their respective directors, officers, advisors or Affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that (i) the Business Combination Proposal and Adjournment Proposal are approved by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Class A Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter, (ii) the Merger Proposal is approved by the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Class A Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter, (iii) otherwise limit the number of public shares electing to redeem and (iv) GSR III’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) be at least $5,000,001 after giving effect to the Conversion, the Merger and Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring.

Table of Contents

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the price of the Class A Shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he, she or it owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination.

If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price per unit in GSR III’s initial public offering).

Our placing of funds in the trust account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against us. Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the trust account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the trust account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account, our management will consider whether competitive alternatives are reasonably available to us and will only enter into an agreement with such third party if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be in the best interests of the company under the circumstances.

Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Upon redemption of our public shares, if we have not completed our business combination within the required time period, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with our business combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the 10 years following redemption. Accordingly, the per share redemption amount received by public shareholders could be less than the $10.00 per public share initially held in the trust account, due to claims of such creditors.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. We have not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company. The Sponsor may not have sufficient funds available to satisfy those obligations. We have not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such obligations, and therefore, no funds are currently set aside to cover any such obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the trust account, the funds available for our business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per public share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your public shares. None of our directors or officers will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, GSR III files a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and we and our board of directors may be exposed to claims of punitive damages.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, we file a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or insolvency laws as a voidable performance. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover all amounts received by our shareholders. In addition, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing it and us to claims of punitive damages, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, we file a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our shareholders and the per share amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, we file a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable insolvency law, and may be included in our liquidation estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any liquidation claims deplete the trust account, the per share amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

Our shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

If we are forced to enter into an insolvent liquidation, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed as an unlawful payment if it was proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was made, we were unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, our directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to us or our creditors or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing themselves and our company to claims, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons. We and our directors and officers who knowingly and willfully authorized or permitted any distribution to be paid out of our share premium account while we were unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business would be guilty of an offence and may be liable to a fine of $18,293 and to imprisonment for five years in the Cayman Islands.

The issuance of additional ordinary shares will significantly dilute the equity interests of existing holders of GSR III securities and may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our public shares.

There can be no assurance that the shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares that will be issued in connection with the Business Combination will be approved for listing on Nasdaq upon the Closing, or that PubCo will be able to comply with the continued listing rules of Nasdaq.

GSR III’s units, public shares and rights are currently listed on Nasdaq. The continued eligibility for listing of PubCo’s securities may depend on, among other things, the number of our shares that are redeemed. If, after the Business Combination, Nasdaq delists the shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares from trading on its exchange for failure to meet its listing rules, PubCo and its shareholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

        a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

        reduced liquidity for our securities;

49

Table of Contents

        a determination that PubCo Ordinary Shares is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;

        a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

        a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” The PubCo Ordinary Shares are covered securities. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. While we are not aware of a state, other than the state of Idaho, having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by blank check companies, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states. Further, if PubCo’s securities were no longer listed on Nasdaq, such securities would not qualify as covered securities and PubCo would be subject to regulation in each state in which it offers its securities.

The Merger may be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes to U.S. holders of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares.

In the opinion of Latham & Watkins LLP, counsel to GSR III, the Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring and the Merger, taken together with other relevant transactions, should qualify as exchanges described in Section 351 of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes, subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations described herein and in the opinion included as Exhibit 8.1 hereto. If the Merger so qualifies, a U.S. holder (as defined in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) generally should not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the receipt of PubCo Ordinary Shares in exchange for GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares, subject to Section 367(a) of the Code and the PFIC rules. However, because the provisions of Section 351 of the Code are complex and qualification thereunder could be adversely affected by events or actions that occur following the Business Combination that are beyond the control of GSR III or PubCo, the qualification of the Merger for tax deferral under Section 351 of the Code is not free from doubt. For example, if more than 20% of the PubCo Ordinary Shares are subject to an arrangement or agreement to be sold or disposed of at the time of their issuance in the Business Combination, one of the requirements for Section 351 treatment may not be satisfied. If the Merger does not qualify for tax-deferred treatment under Section 351 of the Code, or if the Merger fails to qualify for tax-deferred treatment as a result of the application of Section 367(a) Code or the PFIC rules, the Merger would be a taxable transaction to U.S. holders of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares.

For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Merger, including Section 367(a) of the Code and the PFIC rules, see the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. holders.”

The PFIC status of GSR III and/or PubCo could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders.

In general, a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year in which (i) 50% or more of the average value of its assets (generally determined on the basis of a weighted quarterly average) consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income, or (ii) 75% or more of its gross income consists of passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets. Cash and cash equivalents generally are passive assets. For purposes of the PFIC rules, a non-U.S. corporation that owns, directly or indirectly, at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation is treated as if it held its proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation and received directly its proportionate share of the income of the other corporation.

Because GSR III is a blank check company with no current active business (as determined for purposes of the PFIC rules), GSR III believes that it is likely a PFIC for its current taxable year. The rules dealing with mergers of PFICs are complex and subject to potentially adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences. All U.S. holders

50

Table of Contents

are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the consequences to them of the PFIC rules in the context of the Merger. See “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. holders — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules” for more detail regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences related to the application of the PFIC rules to the Merger.

Following the Business Combination, the annual PFIC income and asset tests in respect of PubCo will be applied based on the assets and activities of the combined business. Based on the expected composition of PubCo’s gross assets and income and the manner in which PubCo expects to operate its business in future years, PubCo does not expect to be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for PubCo’s current taxable year or in the foreseeable future. However, changes in the composition of PubCo’s income or composition of PubCo’s assets may cause PubCo to be or become a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years. Whether PubCo is treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes is a factual determination that must be made annually at the close of each taxable year and, thus, is subject to significant uncertainty.

If PubCo is treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, or portion thereof, that is included in the holding period of a U.S. holder, such U.S. holder may be subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences and may be subject to additional reporting requirements. For a further discussion, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.” U.S. holders are strongly encouraged to consult their own advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to the ownership of PubCo Ordinary Shares.

If a U.S. person is treated as owning at least 10% of the stock of PubCo, such person may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.

If a U.S. holder is treated as owning (directly, indirectly or constructively) at least 10% of the value or voting power of the stock of PubCo, such holder may be treated as a “United States shareholder” with respect to each of PubCo and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (the “PubCo Group”) that is a “controlled foreign corporation,” (a “CFC”), for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A non-U.S. corporation is considered a CFC if more than 50% of (1) the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of such corporation entitled to vote, or (2) the total value of the stock of such corporation is owned, or is considered as owned by applying certain constructive ownership rules, by United States shareholders on any day during the taxable year of such non-U.S. corporation. If the PubCo Group includes one or more U.S. subsidiaries, certain of PubCo’s non-U.S. subsidiaries could be treated as CFCs regardless of whether PubCo is treated as a CFC. Immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, the PubCo Group will include a U.S. subsidiary.

If PubCo or any of its non-U.S. subsidiaries is a CFC, 10% “United States shareholders” will be subject to adverse income inclusion and reporting requirements with respect to such CFC. No assurance can be provided that PubCo will assist holders in determining whether it or any of its non-U.S. subsidiaries is treated as a CFC or whether any holder is treated as a United States shareholder with respect to any of such CFCs or furnish to any holder information that may be necessary to comply with reporting and tax payment obligations with respect to such CFCs.

Additional Risks Related to Ownership of PubCo Ordinary Shares Following the Business Combination and PubCo Operating as a Public Company

PubCo does not intend to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future.

Following the Business Combination, PubCo currently intends to retain its future earnings, if any, to finance the further development and expansion of its business and does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be dependent, among other things, upon PubCo’s depend on its financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in future agreements and financing instruments, business prospects as well as compliance with PubCo Articles of Association and Dutch law.

If analysts do not publish research about PubCo’s business or if they publish inaccurate or unfavorable research, PubCo’s stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for the ordinary shares of PubCo will depend in part on the research and reports that analysts publish about its business. PubCo does not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of the analysts who cover PubCo downgrade its ordinary shares or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about its

51

Table of Contents

business, the price of its ordinary shares would likely decline. If few analysts cover PubCo, demand for its ordinary shares could decrease and its ordinary shares price and trading volume may decline. Similar results may occur if one or more of these analysts stop covering PubCo in the future or fail to publish reports on it regularly.

PubCo may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management attention.

The market price of PubCo Ordinary Shares may be volatile and, in the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation.

PubCo may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against PubCo could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm its business.

Future resales of PubCo Ordinary Shares after the consummation of the Business Combination may cause the market price of PubCo’s securities to drop significantly, even if PubCo’s business is doing well.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, after the consummation of the Business Combination and subject to certain exceptions, the Sponsor and the Terra Innovatum Quotaholders will be contractually restricted from selling or transferring any of its ordinary shares. Such restrictions begin at Closing and end on (i) for the Lock-up Shares held by the Terra Innovatum Quotaholders (the “Terra Lock-Up Shares”) and (ii) for the Sponsor Lock-Up Shares, (i) 25% of the Terra Lock-Up Shares and Sponsor Lock-Up Shares shall be released upon the earlier of the PubCo Trading Price being greater than $12.00 or PubCo issuing its first quarterly earnings release that occurs at least 120 days after the Closing, (ii) an additional 25% of the Terra Lock-Up Shares and Sponsor Lock-Up Shares shall be released upon the earlier of the PubCo Trading Price being greater than $14.00 or PubCo issuing its second quarterly earnings release that occurs at least 120 days after the Closing, (iii) a further 25% of the Terra Lock-Up Shares and Sponsor Lock-Up Shares shall be released upon the earlier of the PubCo Trading Price being greater than $16.00 or PubCo issuing its third quarterly earnings release that occurs at least 120 days after the Closing and (iv) all the remaining Terra Lock-Up Shares and Sponsor Lock-Up Shares shall be released upon the earlier of the PubCo Trading Price being greater than $18.00 or PubCo issuing its fourth quarterly earnings release that occurs at least 120 days after the Closing.

The shares held by Sponsor and the Terra Innovatum Quotaholders may be sold after the expiration of the applicable lock-up period under the Registration Rights Agreement and Proposed Bylaws. As restrictions on resale end and registration statements (filed after the Closing to provide for the resale of such shares from time to time) are available for use, the sale or possibility of sale of these shares could have the effect of increasing the volatility in PubCo’s share price or the market price of PubCo ordinary shares could decline if the holders of currently restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

The obligations associated with being a public company will involve significant expenses and will require significant resources and management attention, which may divert from PubCo’s business operations.

As a public company, PubCo will become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Exchange Act requires the filing of annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to a public company’s business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that a public company establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. As a result, PubCo will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that Terra Innovatum did not previously incur. PubCo’s entire management team and many of its other employees will need to devote substantial time to compliance, and may not effectively or efficiently manage its transition into a public company.

These rules and regulations will result in PubCo incurring substantial legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, these rules and regulations will likely make it more difficult and more expensive for PubCo to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and it may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be difficult for PubCo to attract and retain qualified people to serve on its board of directors, its board committees or as executive officers.

We are currently an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and to the extent we have taken advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies or smaller reporting companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

We are currently an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As a result, our shareholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. We cannot predict whether investors will find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of our securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the trading prices of our securities may be more volatile.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accountant standards used.

Once we lose our “emerging growth company” status, we will no longer be able to take advantage of certain exemptions from reporting, and we will also be required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will incur additional expenses in connection with such compliance and our management will need to devote additional time and effort to implement and comply with such requirements.

PRICE RANGE OF SECURITIES AND DIVIDENDS

GSR III

GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares, GSR III Public Units and GSR III Rights are currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “GSRT,” “GSRTU” and “GSRTR,” respectively. The GSR III Public Units will automatically separate into their component securities upon consummation of the Business Combination and, as a result, will no longer trade as an independent security. Upon the Closing, PubCo Ordinary Shares will be listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “NKLR.”

The closing price of the GSR III Public Units, GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares and GSR III Rights on April 18, 2025, the last trading day before announcement of the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, was $10.22, $10.04 and $1.38, respectively.

Holders of the GSR III Public Units, GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares and GSR III Rights should obtain current market quotations for their securities. The market price of GSR III’s securities could vary at any time before the Business Combination.

Holders

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus there was one holder of record of GSR III Public Units, one holder of record of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares, four holders of record of Class B Shares and two holders of record of GSR III Rights (one of whom was a public holder). The number of holders of record does not include a substantially greater number of “street name” holders or beneficial holders whose GSR III Public Units, GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares and GSR III Rights are held of record by banks, brokers and other financial institutions.

Dividends

GSR III has not paid any cash dividends on the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares to date and does not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of the Business Combination. Assuming the Business Combination is consummated, the payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent, among other things, upon PubCo’s revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of the Business Combination, as well as compliance with the PubCo Articles of Association and Dutch law. The payment of any dividends following the Conversion will be subject to the relevant provisions of the Terra Innovatum Articles of Association. See also “Description of Terra Innovatum Securities — Dividends and Other Distributions. The ability of Terra Innovatum to declare dividends may also be limited by the terms of financing or other agreements entered into by Terra Innovatum from time to time.

PubCo

Historical market price information for PubCo Ordinary Shares is not provided because there is no public market for Ordinary Shares. See “Terra Innovatum’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The General Meeting will be held on            , 2025 at            , Eastern Time, at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP located at 10250 Constellation Blvd., Suite 1100, Los Angeles, CA 90067 and via a virtual meeting, or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be adjourned.

Proposals at the General Meeting

At the General Meeting, GSR III shareholders will vote on the following three proposals:

(1)    Business Combination Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal by ordinary resolution that the Business Combination Agreement (a draft of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A) and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby be authorized, approved and confirmed in all respects (Proposal No. 1).

(2)    Merger Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal by special resolution that the Plan of Merger in the form tabled to the General Meeting (a draft of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B) pursuant to which (i) Terra Innovatum will cause to be formed New TopCo, (ii) Terra Innovatum will effectuate the Contribution, (iii) Terra Innovatum will become a wholly owned subsidiary of New TopCo, (iv) New TopCo will convert into PubCo, (v) New TopCo will establish Terra MergerCo as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of New TopCo (vi) and Terra MergerCo will effectuate the Merger with GSR III as the surviving company in the merger and, after giving effect to the Merger and the related share exchange, GSR III will become a wholly owned Subsidiary of New TopCo (New TopCo as publicly traded company hereby referred to as “PubCo”) and each issued and outstanding GSR III Ordinary Share will be exchanged into one PubCo Ordinary Share, so that all the rights and obligations of GSR III will be assumed by PubCo by virtue of such merger pursuant to the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, and the consummation of the merger and the remaining transactions contemplated thereby, be authorized, approved and confirmed in all respects; and GSR III be authorized to enter into the Plan of Merger. (Proposal No. 2).

(3)    Adjournment Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal by ordinary resolution to adjourn the General Meeting to a later date or dates (A) in order to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining GSR III shareholder approval of the transaction proposals to be voted upon at the General Meeting, (B) if as of the time for which the General Meeting is scheduled, there are insufficient GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the General Meeting, (C) to allow reasonable time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosures that GSR III has determined, based on the advice of outside legal counsel, is reasonably likely to be required under applicable law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the GSR III shareholders prior to the General Meeting, (D) if GSR III shareholders redeem an amount of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares such that the GSR III Available Cash Condition is not satisfied, or (E) as otherwise deemed necessary by the Chairman of the General Meeting in his sole discretion (Proposal No. 3).

THE GSR III BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THESE PROPOSALS.

Voting Power; Record Date

As a shareholder of GSR III, you have a right to vote on certain matters affecting GSR III. The proposals that will be presented at the General Meeting and upon which you are being asked to vote are summarized above and fully set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. If you are a shareholder, you will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the General Meeting if you owned GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares at the close of business on            , 2025, which is the record date for the General Meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each GSR III Ordinary Share that you owned as of the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the record date, there were            GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding, of which            are public shares and 5,750,000 are Founder Shares held by the GSR III Initial Shareholders.

Vote of the GSR III Initial Shareholders and GSR III’s Other Directors and Officers

Prior to the GSR III IPO, GSR III entered into a letter agreement with the GSR III Initial Shareholders and the other current directors and officers of GSR III, pursuant to which each agreed to vote any GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares owned by them in favor of an initial business combination. This agreement applies to the GSR III Initial Shareholders, including Sponsor, as it relates to the Founder Shares and the requirement to vote all of the Founder Shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and for all other proposals presented to GSR III shareholders in this proxy statement/prospectus. As of the record date, the GSR III Initial Shareholders own 5,750,000 Founder Shares, representing 20% of the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares then outstanding and entitled to vote at the General Meeting.

The GSR III Initial Shareholders and the other current directors and officers of GSR III have waived any redemption rights, including with respect to GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares purchased in the GSR III IPO or in the aftermarket, in connection with Business Combination. The Founder Shares held by the GSR III Initial Shareholders have no redemption rights upon the liquidation of GSR III and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by GSR III by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor). However, the GSR III Initial Shareholders and the other current directors and officers of GSR III are entitled to redemption rights upon the liquidation of GSR III with respect to any public shares they may own.

The GSR III Initial Shareholders and the other current directors and officers of GSR III have, for no additional consideration, waived any redemption rights, including with respect to GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares purchased in the GSR III IPO or in the aftermarket, in connection with the Business Combination. The Founder Shares held by the GSR III Initial Shareholders have no redemption rights upon the liquidation of GSR III and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by GSR III by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor). However, the Sponsor and the current directors and officers are entitled to redemption rights upon the liquidation of GSR III with respect to any GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares they may own. The Business Combination is not structured so that approval of at least a majority of unaffiliated public shareholders of GSR III is required.

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals for the General Meeting

One or more shareholders who together hold a majority of the issued and outstanding GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the General Meeting must be present, in person or represented by proxy, at the General Meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the General Meeting. Broker non-votes will not be counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum. Abstentions will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. The GSR III Initial Shareholders, who own 20% of the issued and outstanding GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares as of the record date, will count towards this quorum. As a result, as of the record date, in addition to the shares of the GSR III Initial Shareholders, an additional GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares held by public shareholders would be required to achieve a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the General Meeting has power to adjourn the General Meeting. The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being, where a quorum is present the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the issued GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares who are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who

56

Table of Contents

vote at the General Meeting. The approval of the Merger Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being, where a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a two-thirds majority of the issued GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares who are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the General Meeting. Accordingly, an GSR III shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the General Meeting will not be counted towards the number of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, such failure to vote will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal or Adjournment Proposal. Broker non-votes will not be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established, and will have no effect on the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal or Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but, as a matter of Cayman Islands law, will not constitute a vote cast at the General Meeting and therefore will have no effect on the approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal and Adjournment Proposal. However, Nasdaq requires that for the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal or Adjournment Proposal to be approved, there must be more votes cast in favor of the proposal than the aggregate of votes against such proposal plus abstentions. Broker non-votes do not count as votes cast. Therefore, in order to maintain compliance with this Nasdaq requirement, abstentions will count as a vote “AGAINST” each of the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal and Adjournment Proposal.

The Closing is conditioned upon the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal. The Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal are conditioned upon the approval of each other. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

It is important for you to note that, in the event that the Business Combination Proposal or the Merger Proposal does not receive the requisite vote for approval, then GSR III will not consummate the Business Combination. If GSR III does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor), GSR III will be required to dissolve and liquidate the Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public shareholders.

Recommendation to GSR III Shareholders

The GSR III Board believes that each of the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal and Adjournment Proposal to be presented at the General Meeting is in the best interests of GSR III and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” each of the proposals.

When you consider the recommendation of the GSR III Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal, you should keep in mind that Sponsor and certain members of the GSR III Board and officers of GSR III have interests in the Business Combination and the Merger that are different from or in addition to (or which may conflict with) your interests as a shareholder. Shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the proposals presented at the General Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal and the Merger Proposal. These interests include, among other things:

        the fact that the Sponsor and GSR III’s directors have agreed not to redeem any GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination, including the Business Combination;

        the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the 5,750,000 Founder Shares currently owned by the Sponsor and the Other Class B Shareholders and such securities will have a significantly higher value upon the consummation of the Business Combination;

        the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $4,225,000 for 422,500 GSR III Private Placement Units, each consisting of one Class A share and one-seventh of one GSR III Right;

        the fact that the Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on GSR III’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. GSR III’s audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, GSR III’s executive officers or directors, or GSR III’s or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination are made using funds held outside the Trust Account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such reimbursements, GSR III does not have any additional controls in place governing GSR III’s reimbursement payments to GSR III’s directors and executive officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with GSR III’s activities on GSR III’s behalf in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination. Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, is paid by GSR III to Sponsor, GSR III’s executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to completion of its initial business combination. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no out-of-pocket expenses have been incurred by GSR III’s executive officers and directors and there are no outstanding out-of-pocket expenses for which GSR III’s executive officers or directors are awaiting reimbursement;

        the fact that the Sponsor, the Other Class B Shareholders and GSR III’s other current officers and directors have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if GSR III fails to complete an initial business combination by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor);

        the fact that the Registration Rights Agreement will be entered into by, among others, the Sponsor and certain shareholders;

        the fact that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor will have certain governance rights in respect of PubCo that will be set forth in PubCo’s Articles of Association and in the Shareholders Agreement, as described in “Description of PubCo Securities — Board of Directors — Nomination and Appointment” and “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents — Ancillary Documents — Shareholders Agreement.

        the right of the Sponsor and the Other Class B Shareholders to hold PubCo Ordinary Shares following the Business Combination, subject to the terms and conditions of the Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement;

        the fact that the Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of GSR III’s existing directors and officers and the members of GSR III’s advisory board and requires PubCo to purchase, at or prior to Closing, and maintain in effect for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for certain GSR III’s directors and officers after the Business Combination;

58

Table of Contents

        the fact that the Sponsor will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidate;

        the Sponsor and its affiliates can earn a positive rate of return on their investment, even if other GSR III shareholders experience a negative rate of return in the post-business combination company;

        the fact that the Sponsor and GSR III’s officers and directors will lose their investment in GSR III and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them on GSR III’s behalf incident to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial business combination if an initial business combination is not consummated by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor);

        the fact that if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event GSR III is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify GSR III to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which GSR III has entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to GSR III, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account; and

        the fact that, at the option of the Sponsor, any amounts outstanding under any loan made by the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates to GSR III in an aggregate amount of up to $1,500,000 may be converted into private placement units at a price of $10.00 per unit in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, and such amounts (including amounts due under the outstanding promissory notes) will likely be written off if an initial business combination is not consummated by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor).

Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions

In general, if your shares are held in “street name” and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on a timely basis on how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee, in its sole discretion, may either leave your shares unvoted or vote your shares on routine matters, but not on any non-routine matters. None of the proposals at the General Meeting are routine matters. As such, without your voting instructions, your brokerage firm cannot vote your shares on any proposal to be voted on at the General Meeting. You should instruct your broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide. 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 considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, and will have no effect on the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal or Adjournment Proposal.

Abstentions will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but, as a matter of Cayman Islands law, will not constitute a vote cast at the General Meeting and therefore will have no effect on the approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal and Adjournment Proposal. However, Nasdaq requires that for the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal or Adjournment Proposal to be approved, there must be more votes cast in favor of the proposal than the aggregate of votes against such proposal plus abstentions. Broker non-votes do not count as votes cast. Therefore, in order to maintain compliance with this Nasdaq requirement, abstentions will count as a vote “AGAINST” each of the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal and Adjournment Proposal.

Voting Your Shares — Shareholders of Record

GSR III shareholders may vote by mail or in person at the General Meeting. GSR III recommends that you submit your proxy even if you plan to attend the General Meeting. Each GSR III Ordinary Share that you own in your name entitles you to one vote on each of the proposals for the General Meeting.

59

Table of Contents

If your shares registered directly in your name, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the “shareholder of record.” If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee or intermediary, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and are considered a “non-record (beneficial) shareholder.”

Voting by Mail.    You can vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. 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 General Meeting in the manner you indicate. 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. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares will be voted as recommended by the GSR III Board. The GSR III Board recommends voting “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Merger Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal. Votes submitted by mail must be received by 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on            , 2025.

Voting in Person at the Meeting.    If you attend the General Meeting and plan to vote in person, you will be provided with a ballot at the General Meeting. Please see “— Attending the General Meeting” below for more details.

Voting Your Shares — Beneficial Owners

If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and this proxy statement/prospectus is being sent to you by that broker, bank or other nominee. The broker, bank or other nominee holding your account is considered to be the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the General Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee regarding how to vote the shares in your account by following the instructions that the broker, bank or other nominee provides you along with this proxy statement/prospectus. Your broker, bank or other nominee may have an earlier deadline by which you must provide instructions to it as to how to vote your shares. As a beneficial owner, if you wish to vote at the General Meeting, you will need to bring to the General Meeting a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee authorizing you to vote those shares. Please see “— Attending the General Meeting” below for more details.

Attending the General Meeting

Only GSR III shareholders on the record date or their legal proxy holders may attend the General Meeting. To be admitted to the General Meeting, you will need a form of photo identification and valid proof of ownership of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares or a valid legal proxy. If you have a legal proxy from a shareholder of record, you must bring a form of photo identification and the legal proxy to the General Meeting. If you have a legal proxy from a “street name” shareholder, you must bring a form of photo identification, a legal proxy from the record holder (that is, the bank, broker or other holder of record) to the “street name” shareholder that is assignable, and the legal proxy from the “street name” shareholder to you. Shareholders may appoint only one proxy holder to attend on their behalf.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before the General Meeting or at the General Meeting by doing any one of the following:

        you may send another proxy card with a later date;

        you may notify GSR III in writing to GSR III, 5900 Balcones Drive, Suite 100, Austin TX 78731 before the General Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

        you may attend the General Meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person, as indicated above.

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker for information on how to change or revoke your voting instructions.

No Additional Matters

The General Meeting has been called only to consider the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal and Adjournment Proposal. Under the GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, other than procedural matters incident to the conduct of the General Meeting, no other matters may be considered at the General Meeting if they are not included in this proxy statement/prospectus and the notice of the General Meeting.

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting

If you are a shareholder and have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares, you may call            , GSR III’s proxy solicitor, at            (toll-free), or banks and brokerage firms, can call            .

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to GSR III’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, any holders GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares may demand that such shares be redeemed in exchange for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, less taxes payable, calculated as of two business days prior to the Closing. If demand is properly made and the Business Combination is consummated, these shares, immediately prior to the Business Combination, 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 (calculated as of two business days prior to the Closing, less taxes payable). For illustrative purposes, based on the fair value of marketable securities held in the Trust Account of approximately $233 million as of March 31, 2025, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.17.

In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must:

        if you hold GSR III Public Units, separate the underlying GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares and GSR III Rights;

        prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on            , 2025 (two business days before the initially scheduled General Meeting), identify yourself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide your legal name, phone number and address to the Transfer Agent in order to validly redeem your shares and tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that GSR III redeem your public shares for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Transfer Agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
One State Street Plaza, 30th Floor
New York, NY 10004
Attention:            
Email:

and

        deliver your public shares either physically or electronically through Depository Trust Company’s DWAC system to the Transfer Agent at least two business days before the initially scheduled 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. Shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent. However, it may take longer than two weeks. Shareholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other 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.

61

Table of Contents

You do not have to be a record date holder in order to exercise your redemption rights. Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are registered 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/prospectus, or up to two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote on the Business Combination Proposal at the General Meeting, or to deliver their shares to the Transfer Agent electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC system, at such shareholder’s option. The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to the General Meeting ensures that a redeeming shareholder’s election to redeem is irrevocable once the Business Combination is approved.

Holders of outstanding GSR III Public Units must separate the underlying GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares and GSR III Rights prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares.

If you hold GSR III Public Units registered in your own name, you must deliver the certificate for such units to the Transfer Agent with written instructions to separate such units into GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares and GSR III 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 GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares from the GSR III Public Units.

If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee holds your GSR III Public Units, you must instruct such nominee to separate your units. Your nominee must send written instructions by facsimile to the Transfer Agent. 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 Depository Trust Company’s DWAC system, a withdrawal of the relevant units and a deposit of an equal number of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares and GSR III 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 GSR III Public Units. While this is typically done electronically on the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish the separation. If you fail to cause your GSR III Public Units to be separated in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your redemption rights.

Each redemption of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares by GSR III’s public shareholders will reduce the amount in the Trust Account, which held marketable securities with a fair value of approximately $231 million as of December 31, 2024. The conditions to closing in the Business Combination Agreement are for the sole benefit of the parties thereto and may be waived by such parties. If, as a result of redemptions of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares by GSR III’s public shareholders, the GSR III Available Cash Condition is not met or is not waived, then Terra Innovatum may elect not to consummate the Business Combination. In addition, in no event will GSR III redeem its GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001, as provided in the GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and as required as a closing condition to each party’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

A public shareholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, in excess of 15% of the outstanding GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares, without GSR III’s prior consent. GSR III has no specified maximum redemption threshold under its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, other than the aforementioned 15% threshold. Each redemption of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares by GSR III’s public shareholders will reduce the amount in the Trust Account.

Prior to exercising redemption rights, GSR III shareholders should verify the market price of the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares, as shareholders may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. There is no assurance that you will be able to sell your GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares when you wish to sell your shares.

62

Table of Contents

If you exercise your redemption rights, your GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares will cease to be outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination and will only represent the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account.

You will no longer own those shares and you will not receive any Ordinary Shares in the Business Combination. You will have no right to participate in, or have any interest in, the future growth of PubCo, if any. You will be entitled to receive cash for your GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares only if you properly and timely demand redemption.

If the Business Combination is not approved and GSR III does not consummate an initial business combination by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor), GSR III will be required to dissolve and liquidate the Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public shareholders and all of GSR III’s Rights will expire worthless.

The Cayman Islands Companies Act prescribes when shareholder appraisal rights are available and sets limitations on such rights. Where such rights are available, shareholders are entitled to receive fair value for their shares. However, regardless of whether such rights are or are not available, shareholders are still entitled to exercise the rights of redemption as set out herein, and the GSR III Board has determined that the redemption proceeds payable to shareholders who exercise such redemption rights represents the fair value of those shares. GSR III shareholders will have appraisal rights and dissenter’s rights under Section 238 and 239 of Cayman Islands Companies Act.

Section 238. (1) of the Cayman Islands Companies Act provides that a member of a constituent company incorporated thereunder shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of that person’s shares upon dissenting from a merger or consolidation.

Section 239. (1) of the Cayman Islands Companies Act provides that no rights under section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act shall be available in respect of the shares of any class for which an open market exists on a recognised stock exchange or recognised interdealer quotation system at the expiry date of the period allowed for written notice of an election to dissent under section 238(5) of the Cayman Islands Companies Act, provided that such section shall not apply if the holders thereof are required by the terms of a plan of merger or consolidation pursuant to section 233 or 237 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act to accept for such shares anything except: (a) shares of a surviving or consolidated company, or depository receipts in respect thereof; (b) shares of any other company, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation, are either listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on a recognised interdealer quotation system or held of record by more than two thousand holders; (c) cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in paragraphs (a) and (b); or (d) any combination of the shares, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c).

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

This discussion of the Business Combination is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is included in this proxy statement/prospectus as Appendix A. You should read the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety because it, and not this prospectus, is the legal document that governs the Business Combination.

Background of the Business Combination

GSR III is a blank check company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability on May 12, 2023 for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The business combination is the result of an extensive search for a potential transaction, whereby GSR III evaluated potential targets utilizing GSR III’s strong self-origination capabilities and underwriting capabilities, as well as the global network of our Sponsor, GSR III’s management team, and members of the GSR III Board. The terms of the Business Combination are the result of extensive negotiations among the representatives of GSR III and Terra Innovatum. The following is a brief discussion of the background of these negotiations and the resulting terms of the business combination.

On November 8, 2024, GSR III completed its initial public offering. Prior to the consummation of the GSR III IPO, neither GSR III, nor anyone on its behalf, contacted any prospective target business or held any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a transaction with GSR III. After the GSR III IPO, GSR III commenced an active search for prospective businesses and assets to acquire with one or more of the following core attributes:

        provide visibility into financials, including a path to sustained long-term profitability and attractive cash flow dynamics;

        enjoy leading positions in their markets with sustainable competitive advantages and barriers to market entry;

        have potential to grow both organically and through acquisitions;

        have an experienced and capable management team;

        address issues related to environmental, social, and governance concerns; and

        would benefit uniquely from GSR III’s capabilities.

In addition, GSR III looked for acquisition targets that were positioned, operationally and financially, to be successful as a public company. GSR III further looked for those transactions that it believed, if entered into, would be well-received by the public markets and would benefit from being a publicly-held entity, particularly with respect to access to capital for both organic growth and for use in acquisitions.

GSR III’s selection process leveraged its Sponsor’s, management teams and members of the Board’s network of industry, venture capital sponsor and private equity sponsor relationships as well as relationships with management teams of public and private companies, investment bankers, attorneys and accountants. Representatives of GSR III were also contacted by additional potential targets that it had not previously identified through its search process. GSR III identified over 30 potentially attractive business combination opportunities through its active search process and leveraging the sourcing channels described above. Until agreeing to enter into exclusive negotiations with Terra Innovatum, GSR III conducted due diligence to varying degrees on such prospective businesses and assets, including a review of such businesses’ business model, competitive landscape, management and certain financial information, in each case, to the extent available. GSR III reviewed opportunities on a rolling basis and entered into non-disclosure agreements on a selective basis, entering into less than 10 such agreements prior to the agreement with Terra Innovatum. Prior to GSR III entering into a non-binding letter of intent with Terra Innovatum, and more specifically prior to the exclusivity clause contained in such letter of intent coming into effect, no target evaluated was deemed to appropriately fit GSR III’s criteria.

Other than Terra Innovatum, the potential targets that GSR III considered in greater detail included: (i) an online marketplace company; (ii) a renewable hydrogen company; (iii) a solar cells technology company; (iv) a real estate holding company; (v) an electric vehicle company; (vi) a telecom operator; and (vii) an online consumer products company.

Over the course of its initial discussions with Terra Innovatum, GSR III determined that Terra Innovatum was a strong target business due to its: (i) substantial total addressable market with the ability to decarbonize both energy and industrial end markets; (ii) pioneering modular design that results in increased safety, scalability and flexible use cases; (iii) highly-experienced management team; (iv) proprietary nuclear reactor design with patent filed that allowed for the use of LEU in a micro-reactor; (v) targeted commercialization date of 2028, well in advance of most competitors; and (vi) capex-light business model with attractive cash flow potential. These factors aligned with GSR III’s investment criteria. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — The GSR III Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination” for a further discussion of the GSR III Board’s considerations.

The following chronology summarizes the key meetings and events that led to the execution of the LOI (as defined below) and Business Combination Agreement and other ancillary agreements with Terra Innovatum, but it does not purport to catalogue every conversation among representatives of GSR III, Terra Innovatum and their respective advisors.

On November 14, 2024, representatives of PAC, which at the time were informally working with Terra Innovatum and would subsequently enter into a formal agreement to serve as Terra Innovatum’s financial advisor, reached out to GSR III to speak about various SPAC merger candidates, including Terra Innovatum. GSR III learned that Terra Innovatum was looking for a de-SPAC transaction to gain access to public markets to diversify its funding sources and to use Terra Innovatum’s stock as an acquisition currency for potential opportunistic acquisitions in the future. Terra Innovatum opted to pursue de-SPAC transaction in lieu of a traditional initial public offering given the prevalence of de-SPAC transactions in the nuclear reactor sector.

On November 21, 2024, GSR III held an introductory meeting over Zoom with Terra Innovatum and PAC. During the meeting, representatives of Terra Innovatum presented on Terra Innovatum’s history, management team and business opportunities. In the evening, following the Zoom meeting, a representative of GSR III met in person with a subset of the Terra Innovatum team in New York. Subsequent to the meetings, GSR III sent an executed non-disclosure agreement to Terra Innovatum.

On November 23, 2024, GSR III and Terra Innovatum agreed to a follow-up meeting on November 27, 2024, where Terra Innovatum would continue its discussion of the Terra Innovatum business and Terra Innovatum’s positioning in the market relative to competitors, while GSR III would present to Terra Innovatum what a SPAC transaction would entail from a process, timeline and capitalization perspective.

On November 24, 2024, representatives of Terra Innovatum requested to representatives of GSR III that, during the upcoming call, GSR III include a discussion of potential valuation, funding scenarios and governance. Representatives of Terra Innovatum also requested that representatives of GSR III consider a valuation of $1.1 billion.

On November 26, 2024, Terra Innovatum provided GSR III access to information in a data room.

On November 27, 2024, GSR III, Terra Innovatum and PAC held a follow-up meeting over Zoom to continue discussing Terra Innovatum’s business, as well as GSR III presenting to Terra Innovatum what a SPAC transaction would entail. GSR III indicated it would need to perform a valuation analysis that was primarily based on a comparison to the three existing public SMR companies, and that GSR III would also require a fairness opinion from an independent third-party valuation firm before entering into a formal transaction with Terra Innovatum.

On November 29, 2024, Terra Innovatum sent the counter-signed NDA to GSR III, as well as a list of questions that Terra Innovatum asked GSR III, including clarification on fees and expenses, as well as the impact of various potential fundraising strategies.

On December 2, 2024, GSR III held a call with PAC to discuss various due diligence topics and expected process. On the same day, GSR III also held a follow-up call with Terra Innovatum to continue discussing Terra Innovatum’s business, technology and key differentiators vs other SMR companies

On December 3, 2024, GSR III held a call with PAC to discuss various due diligence topics and expected process.

On December 6, 2024, GSR III held a follow-up call with PAC to continue diligence discussions.

On December 10, 2024 and December 11, 2024, GSR III and Terra Innovatum held two detailed calls on the competitive landscape of SMR companies and how Terra Innovatum compared to various SMR companies, including reactor sizes, reactor power outputs, types of coolant used, type of fuel used, expected commercialization date, funding raised to date, number of employees, disclosed safety and safeguard measures, management experience, method of assembly and numerous other factors.

On December 12, 2024, GSR III and PAC held a call to preview GSR III’s thoughts on Terra Innovatum’s valuation. GSR III proposed a valuation comprised of 45 million shares to Terra Innovatum at closing and an additional 75 million shares that would be issued at various stock prices and/or milestones, which balanced several advantages that Terra Innovatum had relative to the existing public SMR companies that would support a premium valuation for Terra Innovatum, including but not limited to Terra Innovatum’s expected commercialization date and ability to utilize LEU fuel, while also recognizing the latest and average trading values as of that time of the three public SMR companies. GSR III arrived at Terra Innovatum’s upfront valuation of $450 million (or 45 million shares) and an additional 75 million shares by having the upfront consideration be proximate to where Nano Nuclear Energy Inc.’s median, historical market cap was at the time, while at the same time recognizing, through the use of the additional shares, the significant upside potential for the company relative to where Nuscale Power Corporation and Oklo Inc’s median, historical market caps were at the time.

On December 16, 2024, PAC called GSR III to convey preliminary feedback from Terra Innovatum on GSR III’s valuation preview, namely that Terra Innovatum could likely accept a valuation comprised of 47.5 million shares to Terra Innovatum at closing and an additional 80mm shares at specific milestones, as well as the deferral of some of GSR III’s founder economics.

Also on December 16, 2024, GSR III held a Board meeting to discuss Terra Innovatum as a potential target and to receive approval for the entry into a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with Terra Innovatum, which the Board unanimously approved.

Between December 17, 2025 to December 23, 2024, GSR III shared various drafts of the LOI with PAC, which included 47.5 million shares to Terra Innovatum at closing, 75 million shares at specific milestones and a deferral of 10% of sponsor’s founder shares, and held several calls to discuss and agree to various other terms within the LOI, including the specific operating milestones that would trigger the issuance of additional shares.

On December 18, 2024, GSR III retained Allison Macfarlane, former head of the NRC under the presidential administration of Barack Obama, as a consultant. Ms. Macfarlane was retained to conduct technical review of Terra Innovatum’s nuclear technology, and she was not involved to negotiate the LOI and other transaction terms with Terra Innovatum and PAC. For Ms. Macfarlane’s service GSR III agreed to pay a $25,000 consultation fee. The payment was not contingent on her ultimate assessment of Terra Innovatum’s technology.

On December 24, 2024, GSR III and Terra Innovatum executed the LOI, which included a 60-day exclusivity clause that would go into effect upon GSR III retaining legal counsel for the business combination, as well as GSR III independently confirming with Terra Innovatum’s accountants and auditors a defined timeline for the completion of financials and the auditing of those financials.

Between January 9 and February 26, 2025, representatives from GSR III, Terra Innovatum and PAC arranged and hosted virtual meetings with several investment banks and research analysts to discuss trends in SMR sector and potential investors.

GSR III Board’s Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination

In evaluating the transaction with Terra Innovatum, the GSR III Board consulted with its management, advisors and legal counsel as well as financial and other consultants, and considered and evaluated several factors. In particular, the GSR III Board considered the following positive factors, although not weighted or in any order of significance, in deciding to approve the Business Combination Proposal:

        Growth Prospects.    Terra Innovatum operates in the energy industry, which the GSR III Board believes is an attractive industry with strong growth prospects.

        Transaction Proceeds.    Depending on the extent of redemptions by GSR III’s public shareholders and on the final amount of the expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination, the Business Combination is expected to provide up to approximately $230 million of gross proceeds to Terra Innovatum.

        Due Diligence.    The GSR III Board reviewed and discussed in detail the results of the due diligence examination of Terra Innovatum conducted by GSR III’s management team and GSR III’s financial, legal and regulatory advisors, including virtual meetings with the management team and advisors of Terra Innovatum regarding Terra Innovatum’s business and business plan, operations and prospects (please refer to the section titled “Certain Unaudited Terra Innovatum Prospective Financial Information”), valuation analyses (please refer to the section titled “— Opinion of GSR III’s Financial Advisor”), review of material contracts (including Terra Innovatum’s strategic alliances) and other material matters, as well general financial, technical, legal, regulatory and accounting due diligence.

        Financial Condition.    The GSR III Board reviewed factors such as Terra Innovatum’s historical financial results, outlook and business and financial plans.

In reviewing these factors, the GSR III Board believed that Terra Innovatum was well-positioned in its industry for potential strong future growth and therefore was likely to be positively viewed by public investors.

        Fairness Opinion.    The opinion of ERShares, dated April 7, 2025, to the GSR III Board to the effect that, as of that date and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limiting conditions therein, the Transaction Consideration to be received by the holders of the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares in the Business Combination is fair to such holders from a financial point of view, as more fully described below in the section titled “ — Opinion of GSR III’s Financial Advisor.”

        Reasonableness of Consideration.    Following a review of the financial data provided to GSR III and the due diligence of Terra Innovatum’s business conducted by GSR III’s management and GSR III’s advisors, and taking into account the opinion received from ERShares, the GSR III Board determined that the aggregate consideration to be paid in the Business Combination was reasonable.

        Post-Closing Economic Interest in Terra Innovatum.    If the Business Combination is consummated, GSR III shareholders (other than GSR III shareholders that sought redemption of their GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares) would have a meaningful economic interest in Terra Innovatum and as a result would have a continuing opportunity to benefit from the success of Terra Innovatum upon the Closing.

69

Table of Contents

        Management Team.     The GSR III Board believes that Terra Innovatum has a strong management team and that the senior management of Terra Innovatum, led by Mr. Petruzzi, intend to remain with Terra Innovatum in the capacity of officers or directors, which is expected to provide important continuity in advancing Terra Innovatum’s strategic and growth goals.

        Lock-Up.    The fact that the Governing Documents of PubCo will restrict transfer, assignment and sale of the Lock-Up Shares held by Terra Innovatum and, subject to certain exceptions, the Terra Lock-Up Shares will be released from such restrictions as follows: provided that, (i) 25% of the Terra Lock-Up Shares shall be released upon the earlier of the PubCo Trading Price being greater than $12.00 or PubCo issuing its first quarterly earnings release that occurs at least 120 days after the Closing, (ii) an additional 25% of the Terra Lock-Up Shares shall be released upon the earlier of the PubCo Trading Price being greater than $14.00 or PubCo issuing its second quarterly earnings release that occurs at least 120 days after the Closing, (iii) a further 25% of the Terra Lock-Up Shares shall be released upon the earlier of the PubCo Trading Price being greater than $16.00 or PubCo issuing its third quarterly earnings release that occurs at least 120 days after the Closing and (iv) all the remaining Terra Lock-Up Shares shall be released upon the earlier of the PubCo Trading Price being greater than $18.00 or PubCo issuing its fourth quarterly earnings release that occurs at least 120 days after the Closing.

        Post-Business Combination Corporate Governance.    The fact that the Sponsor will have certain post-closing corporate governance rights in Terra Innovatum, including the right to nominate two directors to the PubCo board of directors, as further described in “Description of PubCo Securities — Board of Directors — Nomination and Appointment.

        Negotiated Transaction.    The financial and other terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the fact that such terms and conditions were the product of arm’s length negotiations between GSR III and Terra Innovatum.

The GSR III Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the following:

        Macroeconomic Risks.    The risk that the future financial performance of PubCo may not meet the GSR III Board’s expectations due to factors in PubCo’s control or out of its control.

        Redemption Risk.    The potential that a significant number of GSR III’s shareholders elect to redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and pursuant to the GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

        Execution Risk.    The potential risks and costs to GSR III if the Business Combination is not completed.

        Exclusivity.    The fact that the Business Combination Agreement includes an exclusivity provision that prohibits GSR III from soliciting other business combination proposals, as further discussed in “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents — Covenants of the Parties — Covenants of GSR III.

        Stockholder Vote.    The risk that GSR III’s shareholders may fail to provide the votes necessary to approve and effect the Business Combination.

        Closing Conditions.    The completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within GSR III’s control.

        Listing Risks.    The challenges associated with preparing Terra Innovatum, a privately held entity, for the applicable disclosure, controls and listing requirements to which Terra Innovatum will be subject as a publicly traded company on Nasdaq.

        Litigation.    The possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination;

70

Table of Contents

        Fees and Expenses.    The expected fees and expenses associated with the Business Combination, some of which would be payable regardless of whether the Business Combination is ultimately consummated.

        GSR III Shareholders Receiving a Minority Position in Terra Innovatum.    The fact that current GSR III shareholders will hold a minority interest in Terra Innovatum, which will limit or preclude the ability of GSR III’s current shareholders to influence corporate matters, including any future potential change in control or other material transaction.

        Other Risks.    Various other risks associated with the Business Combination, the business of GSR III and the business of Terra Innovatum described under the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

In addition to considering the factors described above, the GSR III Board also considered that the GSR III Initial Shareholders, including GSR III’s directors and executive officers have interests in the Business Combination as individuals that are in addition to, and that may be different from, the interests of GSR III’s shareholders (see “The Business Combination — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” below). GSR III’s independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during the negotiation of the Business Combination and in evaluating and approving, as members of the GSR III Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the Business Combination.

The GSR III Board concluded that the potential benefits that it expected GSR III and its shareholders to achieve as a result of the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, the GSR III Board determined that the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination (including the Merger), were advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, GSR III and its shareholders. To GSR III’s knowledge, no conflicts under the corporate opportunities doctrine impacted the search process or the selection of the acquisition target, or will materially affect GSR III’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

The majority of the directors of GSR III have not retained an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of unaffiliated security holders for purposes of negotiating the terms of Business Combination Agreement and/or preparing a report concerning the approval of the de-SPAC transaction.

This explanation of the GSR III Board’s reasons for approval of the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Terra Innovatum’s Reasons for the Business Combination

Over the past 6 – 12 months, Terra Innovatum carefully evaluated the rapidly shifting landscape of the global energy and capital markets. The parties determined that a business combination through a de-SPAC transaction represented the most efficient and strategically aligned path to achieve Terra Innovatum’s commercialization goals and long-term mission. The decision to pursue this route was influenced by several converging macroeconomic, geopolitical, and technological trends. Global conflicts and geopolitical instability have caused significant disruptions to traditional energy supplies, driving energy prices higher and triggering an urgent global search for clean, scalable alternatives. At the same time, the exponential growth in data processing, driven in part by artificial intelligence, has drastically increased global energy demand, with the U.S. Energy Information Administration forecasting a 50% rise by 2050. Large tech companies like Amazon and Google have begun allocating capital into nuclear solutions such as small and micro-modular reactors (SMRs/MMRs), signaling a clear market shift toward nuclear as a viable long-term energy solution.

In parallel, capital markets have responded with a resurgence of nuclear-related investments. In early 2025, assets held in nuclear ETFs surpassed those in all other energy categories combined. Prominent investors, including Bill Gates, have announced their intention to publicly commit billions to nuclear innovation, and SPAC activity in the sector has intensified — with investments between public and private sector over $1 billion allocated to nuclear-focused transactions in the past year alone. SPACs have re-emerged as a suitable vehicle for advanced energy companies like Terra Innovatum seeking both capital and strategic visibility to scale and commercialize breakthrough technologies.

While Terra Innovatum did consider a public listing through a traditional IPO, it determined that the SPAC route offered a more compelling and strategic path forward. Most notably, the de-SPAC process allows for an expedited timeline to public listing, increased transaction certainty amid evolving capital markets, and stronger market positioning — leveraging Terra Innovatum’s advanced nuclear technology and its potential to emerge as a leader in the next generation of clean energy solutions in respect to other peers. Importantly, this approach mirrors the successful public listings of other advanced nuclear companies such as NuScale, Oklo, and X-Energy, all of which have completed de-SPAC transactions resulting in multi-billion-dollar valuations and heightened investor interest in the sector.

The opportunity to partner with GSR III was another key driver. GSR III brings a highly experienced team with deep capital markets and SPAC expertise, having completed over 20 successful business combinations since 2020. This partnership offers Terra Innovatum not only capital access but also strategic advisory support as it transitions into its next phase of growth. The structure — anchored by a $475 million equity valuation and a shareholder-friendly framework — was intentionally designed to promote long-term investor alignment and maximize value creation.

Terra’s technology readiness was a key factor in the decision to pursue a SPAC transaction. Since its founding in 2018 and initial funding in 2021, Terra Innovatum has achieved meaningful progress toward commercialization, positioning itself ahead of many competitors still in early-stage R&D. Terra Innovatum’s reactor platform has been purposefully designed with specifications that materially de-risk both its business model and regulatory pathway. These include the use of already licensed fuel (LEU), reliance on commercially available off-the-shelf components, and a fully modular architecture with no requirement for an emergency planning zone. Together, these features significantly reduce technical and supply chain risks, while also enabling streamlined regulatory approvals and scalable, factory-based production and deployment — propelled by the capital brought in part by the public listing.

As a result, Terra Innovatum is uniquely positioned to accelerate its go-to-market strategy and manufacturing readiness in a sector where long development timelines are the norm. The timing of the transaction aligns with Terra Innovatum’s technology readiness, operational maturity, favorable industry framework, political frameworks, capital markets, and the intensifying global demand for zero-carbon, reliable, and secure energy solutions. Becoming a publicly listed company through a de-SPAC not only will likely provide the necessary capital to scale operations but also unlocks visibility in the U.S. capital markets, enhances brand credibility, and strengthens Terra Innovatum’s ability to attract strategic partners, institutional investors, and future customers — all in service of achieving its goal of commercial deployment by 2028.

Benefits and Detriments of the Business Combination

Stakeholder

 

Benefits

 

Detriments

GSR III

 

Failure to complete a business combination would result in GSR III and the Trust Account being liquidated. The Business Combination would create value for GSR III and its shareholders.

 

GSR III could potentially have found a target that may have a more optimal risk/return profile than Terra Innovatum. In this case, GSR III, its shareholders and affiliates would stand to benefit more than in the Business Combination with Terra Innovatum.

Sponsor and Other Initial Shareholders

 

Failure to complete a business combination would result in GSR III and the Trust Account being liquidated, and the Sponsor’s investment in shares of GSR III Ordinary Shares and GSR III Private Placement Units would be worthless. The Business Combination would create value for the Sponsor and its affiliates.

 

GSR III could potentially have found a target that may have a more optimal risk/return profile than Terra Innovatum. In this case, GSR III, its shareholders (including the Sponsor) and affiliates would stand to benefit more than in the Business Combination with Terra Innovatum.

Benefits

 

Detriments

Unaffiliated Shareholders of GSR III

 

Failure to complete a business combination would result in GSR III and the Trust Account being liquidated, in which case GSR III public shareholders would receive their pro rata portion of the Trust Account. If the market was to recognize the valuation and potential of the PubCo, the stock price may increase from the Trust Account amount per share of approximately $10.17 as of March 31, 2025.

 

For non-redeeming GSR III public shareholders, there is a risk that the market will not support the valuation of the PubCo either as a result of a general market downturn or risks specific to the PubCo. In this case, the stock price may be reasonably expected to trade below the Trust Account amount per share of approximately $11.32 as of June 24, 2025. If this scenario were to materialize, the GSR III public shareholders would have been better off redeeming their GSR III Public Shares than holding their GSR III Public Shares following the Closing.

Terra Innovatum

 

The Business Combination represents the opportunity for Terra Innovatum to become a publicly traded company while maintaining Terra Innovatum’s mission. Becoming a publicly traded company as a result of the Business Combination would provide the PubCo with enhanced access to capital to facilitate its growth, as well as greater liquidity to Terra Innovatum’s shareholders. Becoming a public company could increase Terra Innovatum’s profile and visibility. SPAC sponsors are expected to bring access to networks which could help accelerating the company’s growth. The Business Combination is conditioned on the receipt of approval for listing on Nasdaq of the shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares to be issued in connection with the Business Combination.

 

The potential detriments to Terra Innovatum and its affiliates are the increased costs and difficulty of operating as a public company and the dilution of their ownership stake in Terra Innovatum as a result of the Business Combination.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of the GSR III Board to vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and Merger Proposal, GSR III shareholders should keep in mind that the GSR III Initial Shareholders, including GSR III’s directors and executive officers, have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of the other GSR III shareholders generally. GSR III shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination Proposal and Merger Proposal.

These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

        the fact that the Sponsor and GSR III’s directors have agreed not to redeem any Founder Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination, including the Business Combination;

        the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the 5,750,000 Founder Shares currently owned by the Sponsor and the Other Class B Shareholders and such securities will have a significantly higher value upon the consummation of the Business Combination; and

73

Table of Contents

        the fact that the Sponsor purchased 422,500 GSR III Private Placement Units for $4,225,000. Each Private Placement Unit entitles the holder thereof to one Class A ordinary share and one-seventh of one right to receive one Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of the business combination;

The GSR III Initial Shareholders have, pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, agreed to, among other things, vote all of their GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares in favor of the proposals being presented at the General Meeting and waive their redemption rights with respect to such GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. Such GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, GSR III’s initial shareholders own approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents — Sponsor Support Agreement” for more information related to the Sponsor Support Agreement.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding GSR III or its securities and subject to applicable securities laws, the GSR III Initial Shareholders, Terra Innovatum and/or their respective directors, officers, advisors or Affiliates may purchase public shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares or vote their public shares in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record or beneficial holder of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the GSR III Initial Shareholders, Terra Innovatum and/or their respective directors, officers, advisors or Affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that (i) the Business Combination Proposal and Adjournment Proposal are approved by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter, (ii) the Merger Proposal is approved by the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter, (iii) otherwise limit the number of public shares electing to redeem and (iv) GSR III’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) be at least $5,000,001 after giving effect to the Conversion, the Merger and Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring.

74

Table of Contents

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the price of the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he, she or it owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the General Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. GSR III will file or submit a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be tabled at the General Meeting or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

In addition, certain persons who are expected to be PubCo Directors after the completion of the Business Combination may have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of the GSR III shareholders. These interests include the following:

        the fact that the current executive officers of Terra Innovatum will become directors of PubCo and will enter into employment agreements at Closing with one of the Terra Entities;

        the fact that the directors are also significant shareholders of Terra Innovatum and therefore, stand to benefit from the increased valuation following consummation of the Business Combination;

        The fact that the directors will still continue to control the company post-Business Combination which may allow them to make decisions that benefit their personal interests, which may not always align with those of unaffiliated shareholders;

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to GSR III’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, holders of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share calculated in accordance with GSR III’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. As of December 31, 2024, this would have amounted to approximately $10.17 per share. If a holder of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares exercises his, her or its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging his, her or its GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares for cash and will not own shares of PubCo upon the Closing. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for his, her or its public shares only if he, she or it properly demands redemption and delivers his, her or its shares (either physically or electronically) to the Transfer Agent in accordance with the procedures described herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of the public shares, together with any affiliate of his, her or it or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13 of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares included in the GSR III Public Units sold in the GSR III IPO. Accordingly, all public shares in excess of the 15% threshold beneficially owned by a public shareholder or group will not be redeemed for cash.

GSR III has no specified maximum redemption threshold under its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, other than the aforementioned 15% threshold. Each redemption of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares by GSR III public shareholders will reduce the amount in the Trust Account, which held marketable securities with a fair value of approximately $233 million as of March 31, 2025. The Business Combination Agreement provides that Terra Innovatum’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount of cash in the Trust Account (net of the Cash Redemption Amount) being equal to or greater than $25,000,000. The conditions to closing in the Business Combination Agreement are for the sole benefit of the parties thereto and may be waived by such parties. If, as a result of redemptions of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares by GSR III’s public shareholders, the GSR III Available Cash Condition is not met or is not waived, then Terra Innovatum may elect not to consummate the Business Combination. In addition, in no event will GSR III redeem its GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001, as provided in the GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and as required as a closing condition to each party’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination under the terms of the Business Combination

Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination

In connection with the Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring, each issued and outstanding quota of New TopCo will be converted into PubCo Ordinary Shares at the Common Conversion Ratio. Subsequent to the Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring, GSR III will merge into Terra MergerCo with GSR III surviving and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo. As a result of the merger, GSR III’s issued and outstanding shares will be converted into PubCo Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis. PubCo’s acquisition of GSR III will be accounted for as a recapitalization by/via an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-50, as GSR III does not meet the ASC 805 definition of a business.

The consideration transferred to the GSR III shareholders to effect the asset acquisition consists of PubCo Ordinary Shares and contingently issuable PubCo Ordinary Shares. As GSR III is comprised primarily of monetary assets (Cash and Investments held in Trust Account), the fair value of the aforementioned consideration transferred is deemed equivalent to GSR III’s net assets. As the consideration transferred is deemed equivalent to the net assets acquired, the net assets of GSR III will be stated at their carrying values, which are deemed to be stated at their respective fair values, and no goodwill (or gain or loss) will be recognized.

The conversion of New TopCo’s issued and outstanding quotas into PubCo Ordinary Shares, which will be effected in connection with the aforementioned asset acquisition (a recapitalization by/via asset acquisition), will be accounted for as a recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. GSR III will be treated as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes and PubCo will be treated as the legal and accounting acquirer.

PubCo, which is controlled by legacy Terra Innovatum Quotaholders, has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on the following:

        Under all redemption scenarios, legacy Terra Innovatum Quotaholders will have a majority of the voting interest in PubCo, with between 58.7% and 77.4% of the voting power held by legacy Terra Innovatum Quotaholders depending on the redemption scenario.

        All of the senior management of PubCo will come from the senior management of Terra Innovatum.

        Terra Innovatum will appoint a majority of the directors to the board of directors of PubCo.

        The intended strategy of PubCo will be to continue to focus on Terra Innovatum’s core service offerings.

Appraisal Rights

The Cayman Islands Companies Act prescribes when shareholder appraisal rights are available and sets limitations on such rights. Where such rights are available, shareholders are entitled to receive fair value for their shares. However, regardless of whether such rights are or are not available, shareholders are still entitled to exercise the rights of redemption as set out herein, and the GSR III board of directors has determined that the redemption proceeds payable to shareholders who exercise such redemption rights represents the fair value of those shares. GSR III shareholders will have appraisal rights under the Cayman Islands Companies Act.

Section 238. (1) of the Cayman Islands Companies Act provides that a member of a constituent company incorporated thereunder shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of that person’s shares upon dissenting from a merger or consolidation.

Section 239. (1) of the Cayman Islands Companies Act provides that no rights under section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act shall be available in respect of the shares of any class for which an open market exists on a recognised stock exchange or recognised interdealer quotation system at the expiry date of the period allowed for written notice of an election to dissent under section 238(5) of the Cayman Islands Companies Act, provided that such section shall not apply if the holders thereof are required by the terms of a plan of merger or consolidation pursuant to section 233 or 237 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act to accept for such shares anything except: (a) shares of a surviving or consolidated company, or depository receipts in respect thereof; (b) shares of any other company, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation, are either listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on a recognised interdealer quotation system or held of record by more than two thousand holders; (c) cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in paragraphs (a) and (b); or (d) any combination of the shares, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c).

Certain Unaudited Terra Innovatum Prospective Financial Information

In connection with its consideration of the Business Combination, including the Transactions, Terra Innovatum provided its internally-derived unit economic calculations (the “Unit Economics”) related to a 1 MWe SOLO nuclear reactor to (i) GSR III for use as a component of its overall evaluation of Terra Innovatum, and (ii) to the Terra Innovatum’s advisors in connection with its evaluation of the Transactions. The Unit Economics are being included in this proxy statement/prospectus because the Unit Economics were provided to the GSR III board of directors for their evaluations of the Transactions.

The Unit Economics are included in this proxy statement/prospectus solely to provide GSR III’s shareholders and Terra Innovatum’s shareholders access to information made available in connection with the consideration by the GSR III board of directors of the Transactions. The Unit Economics should not be viewed as a projection or forecast of Terra Innovatum’s overall financial performance, as such analysis relates exclusively to a 1 MWe SOLO nuclear reactor and not to the entire Terra Innovatum business model. Furthermore, the Unit Economics do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date on which such Unit Economics were prepared, which was April 8, 2025.

The Unit Economics were prepared in good faith by Terra Innovatum’s management team and are based on its management’s reasonable estimates and assumptions with respect to the expected performance of a 1 MWe SOLO nuclear reactor at the time the Unit Economics were prepared and speak only as of that time. As such, the Unit Economics do not reflect any updates since the time such Unit Economics were delivered to the GSR III board of directors.

The Unit Economics reflect numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to matters specific to Terra Innovatum’s business, the 1 MWe SOLO nuclear reactor, and general matters, including estimates and assumptions with respect to industry-wide business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions and other future events, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Terra Innovatum’s and GSR III’s control. In particular, the cost estimates shown in the Unit Economics were based on Terra Innovatum’s April 2025 estimates. Moreover, the Unit Economics are not subject to any escalation or discounting. The time at which the assumptions underlying the Unit Economics will be realized, if at all, is highly uncertain. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Unit Economics will be realized.

Because the Unit Economics cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year. These Unit Economics are subjective in many respects and thus are susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments. The Unit Economics have been prepared solely by Terra Innovatum, have not been reviewed or verified by independent third parties and do not reflect cost quotes from potential vendors. Information provided in the Unit Economics constitutes forward-looking statements that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Terra Innovatum’s and GSR III’s control. The various risks and uncertainties include those set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 20 of the proxy statement/prospectus.

The Unit Economics included in this proxy statement/prospectus have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, Terra Innovatum’s management. Neither the independent registered public accounting firms of Terra Innovatum or GSR III, nor any other registered public accounting firms, have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the Unit Economics contained in the proxy statement/prospectus, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or their accuracy or achievability, and the independent registered public accounting firms of Terra Innovatum and GSR III assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any involvement with, the Unit Economics. Further, to that end, the report of MaloneBailey, LLP included in the financial statements in this proxy statement/prospectus relates to the historical financial statements of Terra Innovatum. It does not extend to the Unit Economics and should not be read to do so.

Nonetheless, a summary of the Unit Economics is provided in this proxy statement/prospectus because the Unit Economics were made available to the GSR III board of directors. The inclusion of the Unit Economics in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that GSR III, the GSR III board of directors, Terra Innovatum, the Terra Innovatum board of directors, or their respective affiliates, advisors or other

representatives considered, or now considers, such Unit Economics necessarily to be predictive of actual future results or to support or fail to support your decision whether to vote for or against the business combination proposal. For more information, see the risk factor in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 20 of the proxy statement/prospectus. No person has made or makes any representation or warranty to any GSR III shareholder regarding the information included in the Unit Economics. The Unit Economics are not fact and are not necessarily indicative of future results. Readers of this proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information.

The Unit Economics are not included in this proxy statement/prospectus in order to induce any GSR III shareholders to vote in favor of any of the proposals at the special meeting.

GSR III urges you to review the financial statements of Terra Innovatum included in this proxy statement/prospectus, as well as the financial information in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” and to not rely on any single financial measure.

Terra Innovatum uses certain financial measures in its Unit Economics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP as supplemental measures to evaluate operational performance. While Terra Innovatum believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information, there are limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, are not reported by all of Terra Innovatum’s competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of Terra Innovatum’s competitors. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Financial measures included in the Unit Economics provided to a board of directors or financial advisor in connection with a business combination transaction are excluded from the definition of “non-GAAP financial measures” under the rules of the SEC, and therefore the Unit Economics are not subject to SEC rules regarding disclosures of non-GAAP financial measures, which would otherwise require a reconciliation of a non-GAAP financial measure to a GAAP financial measure. Accordingly, no reconciliation of the financial measures included in the Unit Economics was prepared, and therefore none have been provided in this proxy statement/prospectus. The definitions of the non-GAAP measures included in the Unit Economics may not align with those underlying the non-GAAP measures presented in “Terra Innovatum’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

The key assumptions for the expected nth-of-a-kind (“NOAK”) unit economics of the 1 MWe SOLO nuclear reactor include:

        Expected Life of SOLO.    Each SOLO will have a 45-year design life.

        Sale of SOLO.    Each SOLO is expected to be sold to customers for an initial cost of $17.5 million.

        Service Revenue.    Customers will be charged an annual maintenance fee of $100,000 for each SOLO.

        Non-Fuel Costs.    The non-fuel costs for, including capital costs, balance of plant, contingency and transportation costs, are expected to be $8.0 million.

        Fuel Costs:

        Each SOLO will require an initial fuel load costing approximately $3.5 million.

        Each SOLO will require a refueling load every 15 years over the 45-year plant design life, with each refueling load costing approximately $3.5 million, and non-fuel costs associated with the refueling costing $2.5 million.

        Operating Costs:    For each SOLO, Terra Innovatum will incur annual maintenance expenses of $50,000.

        Deployment Assumption:    These NOAK unit economics are assumed at the one-thousandth unit produced.

($ are in millions)

____________

(1)      The unit economics of the 1 MWe SOLO nuclear reactor are presented as of April 2025, and future periods are not adjusted for inflation. The unit economics of the 1 MWe SOLO nuclear reactor provided herein are for illustrative purposes only. Actual operating costs and revenues of the 1 MWe SOLO nuclear reactor are subject to change based upon how Terra Innovatum’s business develops and such changes may be significant and differ materially from those estimates provided herein. The unit economics of the 1 MWe SOLO nuclear reactor assume all regulatory approvals have been obtained on expected timelines. The regulatory process, including necessary NRC approvals and licensing, is a lengthy, complex process and projected timelines could vary materially from the actual time necessary to obtain all the required approvals.

In addition to the Unit Economics depicted above, Terra Innovatum also provided to GSR III an illustrative schedule, which was the best estimate of a modest ramp-up of sales of Terra Innovatum’s standard 1 MWe SOLO nuclear reactors over a ten-year period. The illustrative schedule included target deployment estimates beginning in Year 0. In Year 1, the number of 1 MWe SOLO nuclear reactors expected to reach deployment is 4. In Year 2, the number expected to reach deployment is 10. In Year 3, the number expected to reach deployment is 50. In Year 4, the number expected to reach deployment is 150. In Year 5, the number expected to reach deployment is 1,000. In Year 6, the number expected to reach deployment is 4,800. In Year 7, the number expected to reach deployment is 10,000. The material assumptions underlying the estimated timeline for deployment are related to the (i) number commercial contracts expected to be signed prior to commercial licensing, (ii) the supply chain design and roll-out, and (iii) the preparation of the sites and specific licensing activities associated with the deployment of SOLO at customers’ sites. The number of reactors which could be sold over the years was assessed based on an assessment of the demand in different sectors in the countries in which the reactor could be sold. These market analysis has allowed to evaluate the conservative number of units which would need to be produced, delivered and commissioned after commercial licensing. The analysis of the supply chain and early engagement with suppliers led to identify long lead time items which would need to be ordered several months before the reactor assembly. These analysis allowed to evaluate what would be the conservative production ramp-up Terra Innovatum and its contracted manufacturers would be able to achieve. The schedule was provided to GSR III in the fourth quarter of 2024 to begin evaluating future orders with suppliers of key components that have long lead-times.

The target deliveries included in the illustrative schedule assumed that regulatory permitting approvals have been obtained to permit construction and operation of the facilities. However, the regulatory permitting process, including necessary NRC approvals and licensing, is a lengthy, complex process and projected timelines could vary materially from the actual time necessary to obtain all required approvals. While there is some possibility of an expedited approval process for fast reactor technology, there is presently no clear path for expedited permitting. See the risk factors in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 20 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

Conflicts of Interest

Potential investors should be aware of the following potential conflicts of interest:

        GSR III’s officers and directors are not required to, and will not, commit their full time to GSR III’s affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between GSR III’s operations and GSR III’s search for a business combination and their other businesses and commitments. GSR III does not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of its initial business combination. Each of GSR III’s officers is engaged in several other business endeavors for which he may be entitled to substantial compensation, and GSR III’s officers are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week to GSR III’s affairs;

        the GSR III Initial Shareholders purchased Founder Shares and the Sponsor purchased GSR III Private Placement Units in connection with GSR III’s initial public offering. The GSR III Initial Shareholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares held by them in connection with the completion of GSR III’s initial business combination. Additionally, the GSR III Initial Shareholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any founder shares held by them if GSR III fails to complete our initial business combination within the required time period. Furthermore, the GSR III Initial Shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares and any GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion thereof; provided that, (i) 25% of the Sponsor Lock-Up Shares shall be released upon the earlier of the PubCo Trading Price being greater than $12.00 or PubCo issuing its first quarterly earnings release that occurs at least 120 days after the Closing, (ii) an additional 25% of the Sponsor Lock-Up Shares shall be released upon the earlier of the PubCo Trading Price being greater than $14.00 or PubCo issuing its second quarterly earnings release that occurs at least 120 days after the Closing, (iii) a further 25% of the Sponsor Lock-Up Shares shall be released upon the earlier of the PubCo Trading Price being greater than $16.00 or PubCo issuing its third quarterly earnings release that occurs at least 120 days after the Closing and (iv) all the remaining Sponsor Lock-Up Shares shall be released upon the earlier of the PubCo Trading Price being greater than $18.00 or PubCo issuing its fourth quarterly earnings release that occurs at least 120 days after the Closing.

        GSR III’s officers have an interest in SPAC Advisory Partners, which is entitled to a deferred underwriting fee of $9.2 million in connection with the Business Combination.

Under Cayman Islands law, directors and officers owe the following fiduciary duties:

(i)     duty to act in good faith in what the director or officer believes to be in the best interests of the company as a whole;

(ii)    duty to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral purpose;

(iii)   directors should not improperly fetter the exercise of future discretion;

(iv)   duty to exercise powers fairly as between different sections of shareholders;

(v)    duty not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests; and

(vi)   duty to exercise independent judgment.

81

Table of Contents

In addition to the above, directors also owe a duty of care which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement to act as a reasonably diligent person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and the general knowledge skill and experience of that director.

As set out above, directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the shareholders provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of permission granted in the memorandum and articles of association or alternatively by shareholder approval at general meetings.

Each of GSR III’s officers, directors and advisors has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to another entity pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity. Accordingly, if any of GSR III’s officers, directors or advisors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, subject to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. GSR III’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that it renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director, officer or advisor unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director, officer or advisor of the company and it is an opportunity that GSR III is able to complete on a reasonable basis. In addition, neither of the Sponsor or GSR III’s advisors owe any fiduciary duty towards GSR III, irrespective of whether or not any of such entities or individuals have any legal or contractual obligations towards other parties. GSR III does not believe, however, that the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of its officers, directors or advisors will materially affect its ability to complete an initial business combination.

The following table summarizes the other relevant pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations of GSR III’s officers and directors:

Director

In connection with the vote required for any business combination, all of GSR III’s Initial Shareholders, and all of GSR III’s officers and directors, have agreed to vote their respective Founder Shares in favor of any proposed business combination. In addition, they have agreed to waive their respective rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to any GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares acquired by them prior to GSR III’s initial public offering.

Opinion of GSR III’s Financial Advisor

GSR III retained ERShares to render an opinion to the GSR III board of directors as to the fairness, from a financial point of view to GSR III and to the shareholders of GSR III (other than the Sponsor or any of its affiliates) of the Transaction Consideration (as defined below) to be issued or paid to such shareholders in the Business Combination. For the purposes of this section, “Transaction Consideration” means the PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued in exchange for the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares at the Merger Effective Time.

GSR III selected ERShares to provide a fairness opinion based on ERShares’ qualifications, experience and reputation.

ERShares delivered its oral opinion to the GSR III board of directors, subsequently confirmed in writing on April 08, 2025 (the “Opinion”), which sets forth, among other things, the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the scope of review undertaken in rendering the Opinion, which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex E and is hereby incorporated by reference. The Opinion confirmed that, as of April 07, 2025, the Transaction Consideration to be issued or paid to the shareholders of Terra Innovatum is fair from a financial point of view to GSR III and the shareholders of GSR III, other than the Sponsor and any of its affiliates. The opinion was subsequently re-affirmed on April 21, 2025 prior to the execution of the Business Combination Agreement (“BCA”). The Opinion does not constitute a recommendation to the relevant directors and officers of GSR III or to any other persons in respect of the Business Combination, including as to how any holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares should vote or act in respect of the Business Combination.

In connection with its analyses in rendering the Opinion, ERShares, among other things:

        Reviewed the financial terms and conditions of the proposed Business Combination set forth in the draft Business Combination Agreement circulated on April 10, 2025;

        Reviewed certain operating and financial information, that were provided to ERShares by management of the Company;

83

Table of Contents

        Reviewed certain guideline public companies and precedent transactions which ERShares viewed as having attributes similar to the Company;

        Reviewed other publicly available industry information (i.e., various equity analyst reports, macroeconomic reports, and public information about guideline companies), available from databases such as S&P Capital IQ (“CapIQ”); and

        Engaged in confirmatory discussions with GSR III and the Company regarding the Company’s business and key assumptions and risks associated with the Company’s business plans.

For purposes of its analysis and the Opinion, ERShares assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other publicly available information, and all of the information supplied or otherwise made available to, discussed with or reviewed by ERShares, without any independent verification of such information (and assumed no responsibility or liability for any independent verification of such information) and further relied upon the assurances of GSR III management that they were not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make such information provided to ERShares inaccurate or misleading.

For purposes of its analysis and the Opinion, ERShares assumed, in all respects material to its analysis, that the representations and warranties of each party contained in the Business Combination Agreement were true and correct, that each party would perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by it under the Business Combination Agreement and that all conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination would be satisfied without waiver or modification thereof. ERShares further assumed, in all respects material to its analysis, that all governmental, regulatory, or other consents, approvals or releases necessary for the consummation of the Business Combination would be obtained without any delay, limitation, restriction or condition that would have an adverse effect on the consummation of the Business Combination or reduce the contemplated benefits to the holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares.

ERShares did not, in connection with the Opinion, conduct any physical inspection of properties or facilities associated with the Company. The Opinion is necessarily based upon information made available to ERShares as of April 7, 2025, and financial, economic, market, and other conditions as they existed and as could be evaluated as of that date and does not reflect any subsequent developments. ERShares does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm the Opinion.

ERShares was not asked to opine on, and the Opinion does not express any views on, (i) any other terms of the Business Combination (except as expressly addressed herein), (ii) GSR III’s underlying business decision to proceed with or effect the Business Combination, (iii) the merits of the Business Combination relative to any alternative transaction or business strategy that may be available to GSR III, (iv) the amount or nature of the compensation to any officer, director or employee, or any class of such persons, relative to the compensation to be received by the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of GSR III or the Company in the Business Combination, or relative to or in comparison with the Transaction Consideration paid to shareholders of GSR III, (v) the fairness of the Business Combination to any particular group or class of securities, creditors, or other constituencies of GSR III, other than those set forth in the Opinion or (vi) the solvency, creditworthiness or fair value of the Company or any other participant in the Business Combination under any applicable laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters.

Set forth below is a summary of the material financial analyses carried out by ERShares, in connection with ERShares rendering the Opinion. The following summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by ERShares. The order of the analyses described, and the results of these analyses do not represent relative importance or weight given to these analyses by ERShares. Except as otherwise noted, the following quantitative information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data that existed on or before April 7, 2025, and is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions.

Summary of ERShares’ Financial Analysis of Company

Market Method

The primary method ERShares used as the basis for the fairness opinion assessment was a Market Method, which relied on a combination of (a) a Guideline Publicly Traded Companies Analysis (“GPC Analysis”), and (b) a Guideline Transaction Analysis (“GTM Analysis”).

84

Table of Contents

Guideline Publicly Traded Companies Analysis

The GPC Analysis is a market indicator used to value a business. ERShares reviewed and analyzed publicly available data on CapIQ about companies that were considered to have attributes similar to the Company. There are no guideline public companies that are directly comparable to Company’s future prospective business. ERShares selected a group of 2 guideline public companies that it considered to have attributes similar to the Company (“GPC Guideline Companies,” collectively, the “Guideline Companies Group”) to use for purposes of the GPC Analysis.

ERShares utilized the platform and analytical tools of CapIQ’s public company database (the “database,” unless otherwise indicated, as accessed as of April 07, 2025 (the “Access Date”)), to assist with the identification of GPC Guideline Companies and to obtain certain publicly available information about those companies. Of the total number of companies with securities listed on a U.S. national securities exchange (“Public Companies”) included in the database, ERShares selected the 2 GPC Guideline Companies.

The GPC Guideline Companies are as follows:

        Nano Nuclear Energy Inc. and Oklo, Inc.

        Worldwide Presence: Of the total number of companies included in the database, ERShares selected a group of 72,052 Public Companies with securities listed on various national exchanges globally in order to incorporate in the GPC Guideline Companies with operations and foci outside as well as inside of Italy (the “Worldwide Presence Category”).

        All Energy: Within the companies in the Worldwide Presence Category, ERShares narrowed its search to approximately 1,812 Public Companies that fall within the Global Industry Classification Standards classifications developed by S&P, Dow Jones Indices and MSCI, as of the Access Date (“GICS”) general “Energy” classification (the “Energy Category”).

        Specific Energy Category: ERShares’ search was further narrowed to approximately 614 companies within the Energy Category, which ERShares considered to have attributes or potential similarities to the Company.

        Electric Power Generation by Nuclear Fuel Category: ERShares’ search was further narrowed to approximately 53 companies within the Specific Energy Category, which ERShares considered to have focused attributes or potential focused similarities to the Company.

        US Exchanges: Among the companies within the Electric Power Generation by Nuclear Fuels Category, ERShares focused on 13 companies that were listed on US exchanges, which ERShares considered relevant to the Company given its intent to list on a US Exchange.

        No Revenues: Among the companies within the Electric Power Generation by Nuclear Fuel Category and listed on US exchanges, ERShares chose the 2 companies that had no revenues, which ERShares considered most relevant to the Company given its current operations.

For each of the Comparable Companies identified above, a valuation range of $0.9 Billion to $3.1 Billion was determined for Terra Innovatum’s consolidated potential future business, based on the Minimum and Maximum Market Capitalization of the 2 companies identified above. The Market Capitalization of the 2 Companies derived, were reflected in the most recent public filings made by the Comparable Companies and data made available by CapitalIQ as of the date of valuation.

Based on the derived valuation range of approximately $0.9 Billion to $3.1 Million, the transaction based on a pre-money total enterprise value of $475 Million fell below the derived valuation range and was deemed to be fair from a financial point of view under this methodology.

Guideline Transaction Analysis

The GTM Analysis is a market method examining comparable transactions based on ERShares’ review and analysis of publicly available data (sourced through the subscription database Pitchbook) about initial public offerings, reverse mergers, early stage and late stage investments. Within these guidelines, the following factors were considered in determining the appropriateness of transactions for inclusion in the GTM Analysis carried out

85

Table of Contents

by ERShares: (i) sector, (ii) business status (iii) deal type (iv) deal status (v) deal date and (vi) Revenues. Utilizing the criteria set forth above, ERShares identified 10 guideline transactions (the “GTM Guideline Transactions” and collectively, the “Guideline Transactions Group”) that ERShares considered relevant for comparative purposes, though, as described below, none of the selected transactions has characteristics identical to the proposed Business Combination or involves businesses that are identical to the Company. The categories of transactions used by ERShares as criteria for inclusion in the Guideline Transactions Group can be summarized as follows, based on information accessed by ERShares through Pitchbook on April 07, 2025:

The GTM Guideline Transactions are as follows:

   Zeno (Alternative Energy Equipment)

   Rolls-Royce SMR

   Radiant (Alternative Energy Equipment)

   Nano Nuclear Energy (NAS: NNE)

   CORE POWER

 

   Newcleo

   NuScale Power (NYS: SMR)

   Naarea

   Ultra Safe Nuclear

   Oklo (NYS: OKLO)

        Energy Sector:    ERShares focused on transactions involving companies falling in the Pitchbook Industries and Verticals Energy Sector, specifically in the Energy Equipment and Exploration, Production and Refining industry group, which it considered most likely to encompass companies that have similarities to the Company in terms of operation characteristics and trajectories.

        Revenues under $5M:    Among transactions falling into the Energy category, ERShares selected transactions involving privately owned companies generating revenues under $5M. ERShares considered these types of transactions to be similar to the proposed Business Combination, given the similarities these companies had to the business line of the Company.

        IPO Transactions:    Among transactions falling into the Energy category, ERShares selected transactions resulting in a previously privately owned company becoming a public company through an initial public offering (generally involving a first time offering of shares of a company stock to the public). ERShares considered these types of transactions to be similar to the proposed Business Combination, given the similarities these companies had to the business line of the Company.

        Reverse Merger:    Among transactions falling into the Energy category, ERShares selected transactions resulting in a previously privately owned company being merged into a public shell through a reverse merger. ERShares considered these types of transactions to be similar to the proposed Business Combination, given the similarities these companies had to the business line of the Company.

        Early-Stage and Late-Stage Investments:    Among transactions falling into the Energy category, ERShares selected transactions resulting in an investment in a privately owned company being an investment in the early stages or late stages of the company. ERShares considered these types of transactions to be similar to the proposed Business Combination, given the similarities these companies had to the Business Line of the Company.

        Completed Transactions after 2020:    Among transactions falling into the Healthcare category, ERShares selected transactions completed after 2020 involving formerly privately owned companies. ERShares considered these types of transactions to be similar to the proposed Business Combination, given the similarities in the market conditions in which these transactions were completed.

        Business Status — Product Development:    Among transactions falling into the Energy category, ERShares selected transactions involving privately owned companies that were having a Business Status of Product Development. ERShares considered these types of transactions to be similar to the proposed Business Combination, given the similarities these companies had to the business line of the Company.

86

Table of Contents

For each of the Comparable transactions identified above, a valuation range of $339 Million to $654 Million was determined for Terra Innovatum’s consolidated potential future business, based on the Mean and Median Market pre-money enterprise valuation of the 10 companies identified above. The pre-money enterprise valuation of the 10 Companies derived, were reflected in public filings made by the companies involved in the GTM Guideline Transactions and data made available by Pitchbook as of the date of valuation.

Based on the derived valuation range of approximately $339 Million to $654 Million, the transaction based on a pre-money total enterprise value of $475 Million fell within the derived valuation range and was deemed to be fair from a financial point of view under this methodology.

Miscellaneous

The foregoing summary of certain financial analyses does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses or data presented by ERShares and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Opinion, which is as attached as Annex E to this proxy statement/prospectus. In connection with the evaluation of the Transaction Consideration, ERShares performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses for the purpose of rendering the Opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary descriptions. Selecting portions of the analyses or of the summary described above, without considering the analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying the Opinion. In arriving at its fairness determination, ERShares considered the results of all the analyses and did not draw, in isolation, conclusions from or with regard to any one analysis or factor considered by it for purposes of the Opinion. Rather, ERShares made its determination as to fairness on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all the analyses. In addition, ERShares may have given certain analyses and factors more or less weight than others and may have deemed certain assumptions more or less probable than others. As a result, the range of valuations resulting from any particular analysis or combination of analyses described above should not be taken to be the view of ERShares with respect to the actual value of the potential future value of Company. Further, ERShares’ analyses involve complex considerations and judgments concerning financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the acquisition, public trading or other values of the companies used, including judgments and assumptions with regard to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of GSR III, the Company or their respective officers, managers and advisors.

GSR III retained ERShares to render an opinion to the GSR III board of directors as to the fairness, from a financial point of view to GSR III and to the shareholders of GSR III (other than the Sponsor or any of its affiliates) of the Transaction Consideration to be issued or paid to such shareholders in the Business Combination. These analyses do not purport to be appraisals or to necessarily reflect the prices at which the business or securities actually may be sold. The results, information and estimates contained in these analyses are not intended to be, and should not be interpreted or construed as, indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by such estimates. Furthermore, ERShares’ analysis is dependent entirely on information, that was provided to ERShares by the Company, without independent verification by ERShares. Illustrative information, business plans, prospects and other information that was used in, and the results derived from, ERShares’ analyses are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty, and ERShares assumes no responsibility if future results are materially different from those forecasted in such estimates.

As compensation for ERShares’ service in connection with the rendering the Opinion to the GSR III board of directors, GSR III agreed to pay ERShares a fee of $75,000. $15,000 of the fee was paid upon commencement of the engagement and $60,000 of the fee was paid upon delivery of the oral opinion.

MATERIAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

This section describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. holder and Non-U.S. holder (each as defined below) of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares (i) of electing to have their GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed for cash if the Business Combination is completed, (ii) of participating in the Business Combination, and (iii) of the ownership and disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares acquired pursuant to the Merger (collectively, the “Transactions”).

This discussion deals only with holders that hold their GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares and will hold the PubCo Ordinary Shares as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (as defined herein) and does not cover all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to, or the actual tax effect that any of the matters described herein will have on, investors participating in the Transactions (including consequences under the alternative minimum tax or net investment income tax), and does not address state, local, non-U.S. or other tax laws (such as estate or gift tax laws). This discussion also does not address tax considerations applicable to investors that own or will own (directly, indirectly or by attribution) 5% or more of Terra Innovatum quotas, GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares or PubCo Ordinary Shares by vote or value (except as specifically addressed herein), nor does this section discuss all of the U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to certain types of investors subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws (such as the sponsor and its affiliates, financial institutions, insurance companies, individual retirement accounts and other tax-deferred accounts, tax-exempt organizations, dealers in securities or currencies, investors that hold GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares or will hold PubCo Ordinary Shares as part of straddles, hedging transactions or conversion transactions for U.S. federal income tax purposes, persons that received GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares or will receive PubCo Ordinary Shares as compensation for services, persons that have ceased to be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents of the United States, investors holding the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares or that will hold PubCo Ordinary Shares in connection with a trade or business conducted outside of the United States, U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents living abroad, passive foreign investment companies, controlled foreign corporations or U.S. holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar).

As used herein, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares or PubCo Ordinary Shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax without regard to its source or (iv) a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or the trust has validly elected to be treated as a domestic trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

As used herein, the term “Non-U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares, Terra Innovatum quotas or PubCo Ordinary Shares that is neither a U.S. holder (as defined above) nor a partnership or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that holds GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares or will hold PubCo Ordinary Shares will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult their tax advisers concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them and their partners of participating in the Transactions and the ownership and disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares.

This discussion is based on the tax laws of the United States, including the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, all as of the date hereof and all subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect.

ALL HOLDERS OF GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE TRANSACTIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF NEW PUBCO Securities, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF STATE, LOCAL, NON-U.S. AND OTHER TAX LAWS AND POSSIBLE CHANGES IN TAX LAW.

Tax Considerations for GSR III

GSR III should not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Merger.

Tax Considerations for U.S. holders

The Business Combination

Intended Tax Treatment

This discussion is subject to the discussions under “— Section 367(a)” and “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules” below.

In the opinion of Latham & Watkins LLP, counsel to GSR III, the Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring and the Merger, taken together with other relevant transactions, should qualify as exchanges described in Section 351 of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes, subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations described herein and in the opinion included as Exhibit 8.1 hereto. An opinion of counsel is not binding on the IRS or any court, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or any court will agree with this position. Neither GSR III nor PubCo intends to seek a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding the characterization of the Transactions for U.S. federal income tax purposes. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not disagree with or challenge the intended characterization of the Transactions for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

However, because the provisions of Section 351 of the Code are complex and qualification as a non-recognition transaction thereunder could be adversely affected by events or actions that occur following the Business Combination that are beyond GSR III’s and Pubco’s control, the qualification of the Merger for tax deferral under Section 351 of the Code is not free from doubt . For example, if 20% or more of the PubCo Ordinary Shares were subject to an arrangement or agreement to be sold or disposed of at the time of issuance in the Business Combination, one of the requirements for Section 351 treatment would be violated. Neither GSR III nor PubCo expects that any of the PubCo Ordinary Shares issued in the Business Combination that will be subject to contractual restrictions on transfer will be subject to an arrangement or agreement by its owner to sell or dispose of such shares upon the issuance of those shares in the Business Combination.

It is unclear whether the Merger, in addition to qualifying as an exchange described in Section 351 of the Code, will also qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368 of the Code. There are many requirements that must be satisfied in order for the Merger to qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368 of the Code, some of which are based upon factual determinations and others are fundamental to corporate reorganizations. For example, it is unclear as a matter of law whether an entity that may not have a historic business, such as GSR III, can satisfy the “continuity of business enterprise” requirement under Section 368 of the Code. In addition, reorganization treatment could be adversely affected by events or actions that occur prior to or at the time of the Merger, some of which are outside the control of GSR III. For example, the requirements for reorganization treatment could be affected by the magnitude of redemptions of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares that occur in connection with the Merger. There can be no assurance that the Merger qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code and because of the significant degree of uncertainty regarding whether the Merger can qualify as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code, counsel is unable to opine as to whether it does, and it may be prudent for investors to assume that it will not. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the potential qualification of the Merger as a reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring and the Merger, taken together with other relevant transactions, should qualify as exchanges described in Section 351 of the Code. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the characterization of the Transactions for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

U.S. holders exchanging GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares for PubCo Ordinary Shares

A U.S. holder that exchanges GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares in the Merger for PubCo Ordinary Shares generally should not recognize any gain or loss on such exchange. In such case, the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the PubCo Ordinary Shares received in the Merger by a U.S. holder should be equal to the adjusted tax basis of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares surrendered in the Merger in exchange therefor. The holding period of the PubCo Ordinary Shares should include the holding period of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares surrendered in the Merger in exchange therefor.

Section 367(a)

This discussion is subject to the discussion under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules” below.

Section 367(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder impose certain additional requirements for qualifying under Sections 351 or Section 368 of the Code with respect to transactions where a U.S. person transfers stock or securities to a non-U.S. corporation in exchange for stock or securities in a non-U.S. corporation. U.S. holders of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares will be deemed to transfer shares of such stock to PubCo in exchange for PubCo Ordinary Shares, so that these requirements will apply.

Under applicable Treasury Regulations under Section 367(a) of the Code, a U.S. holder who owns (directly, indirectly, or by attribution) 5% or more of the total voting power or total value of the stock of PubCo immediately after the completion of the Merger will be required to recognize gain (but not loss) as a result of the Merger unless the U.S. holder enters into a “gain recognition agreement” (as defined in the Treasury Regulations) with the IRS. All U.S. holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the decision to file a gain recognition agreement and the procedures to be followed in connection with such a filing.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to Terra Quotaholders Excluded

Terra Innovatum does not have any U.S. holders who hold less than 5% Terra Innovatum quotas by vote or value. Given that Terra Innovatum is a non-U.S. entity with no U.S. holders who hold less than 5% Terra Innovatum quotas by vote or value, and given that this discussion does not address tax considerations applicable to investors that own (directly, indirectly or by attribution) 5% or more of Terra Innovatum quotas, Terra Innovatum has excluded discussions on the “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to Terra Quotaholders.” Moreover, as Terra Innovatum is a non-U.S. entity Terra Innovatum and is not subject to U.S. federal income taxes, such discussions are irrelevant to Terra Innovatum.

Redemption of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares

This discussion is subject to the discussion under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules” below.

In the event that a U.S. holder of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares exercises such holder’s right to have such holder’s GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions described herein, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of such stock pursuant to Section 302 of the Code or whether the U.S. holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution. Whether that redemption qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares treated as held by the U.S. holder (including any stock constructively owned by the U.S. holder as a result of, among other things, owning rights) relative to all of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares both before and after the redemption. The redemption of stock generally will be treated as a sale of the stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. holder, results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. holder’s interest in GSR III or is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. holder takes into account not only stock actually owned by the U.S. holder, but also GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares that are constructively owned by such U.S. holder. A U.S. holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. holder, as well as any stock the U.S. holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which generally would include ordinary shares that could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the GSR III Public Rights. In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of GSR III’s outstanding voting shares actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately following the redemption of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares must, among other requirements, be less than 80% of the percentage of GSR III’s outstanding voting shares actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately before the redemption. There will be a complete termination of a U.S. holder’s interest if either all GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed or all GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares actually owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed and the U.S. holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. holder does not constructively own any other stock. The redemption of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares will not be essentially

90

Table of Contents

equivalent to a dividend if a U.S. holder’s redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in GSR III. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in GSR III will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority shareholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.” A U.S. holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of redemption.

If the redemption qualifies as a sale of stock by the U.S. holder under Section 302 of the Code, the U.S. holder generally will be required to recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed. Such gain or loss should be treated as capital gain or loss if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the redemption. A U.S. holder’s tax basis in such holder’s GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares generally will equal the cost of such shares. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of stock under Section 302 of the Code, then the U.S. holder will be treated as receiving a distribution on its remaining GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares. Such distribution generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from GSR III’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of GSR III’s current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in such U.S. holder’s GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares. However, GSR III does not maintain calculations of its earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax accounting principles. U.S. holders should therefore assume that any distribution by GSR III with respect to GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares will be reported as ordinary dividend income. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the appropriate U.S. federal income tax treatment of any distribution received from GSR III.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

In General

A non-U.S. corporation, such as GSR III, will be a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any taxable year in which, after applying relevant look-through rules with respect to the income and assets of its subsidiaries, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income is passive income, or (ii) 50% or more of the value of its assets (generally based on the quarterly average of the value of its assets during such year) is attributable to assets, including cash, that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, certain royalties and rents, annuities, net gains from the sale or exchange of property producing such income and net foreign currency gains. The determination of whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC is made annually. Pursuant to a “startup exception,” a foreign corporation will not be a PFIC for the first taxable year the foreign corporation has gross income (the “startup year”) if (1) no predecessor of the foreign corporation was a PFIC; (2) the foreign corporation satisfies the IRS that it will not be a PFIC for either of the first two taxable years following the startup year; and (3) the foreign corporation is not in fact a PFIC for either of those years.

Because GSR III is a blank check company, with no current active business, based upon the composition of its income and assets, and taking into account the structure of the Business Combination, GSR III is not expected to be eligible for the startup exception, and thus GSR III is expected to be a PFIC for the taxable years ending in 2024 and 2025.

If GSR III were a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. holder owns GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares, subject to the discussion below regarding the mark-to-market or qualified electing fund (“QEF”) elections, a U.S. holder generally will be subject to special rules (regardless of whether GSR III continues to be a PFIC) with respect to (i) any “excess distribution” (generally, any distributions received by a U.S. holder on its GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by the U.S. holder in the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. holder’s holding period for GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares) and (ii) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares. Under these rules (a) the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. holder’s holding period, (b) the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which GSR III is a PFIC

91

Table of Contents

will be taxed as ordinary income, and (c) the amount allocated to each of the other taxable years will be subject to tax at the highest rate of tax in effect for the applicable class of taxpayer for that year and an interest charge for the deemed deferral benefit will be imposed with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each such other taxable year.

The impact of the PFIC rules (including the “excess distribution” rules, as discussed above) on a U.S. holder of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares will depend on whether the U.S. holder has made (i) a timely and effective QEF election for the taxable year that is the first year in the U.S. holder’s holding period of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares during which GSR III was classified as a PFIC or, if in a later taxable year, the U.S. holder made a QEF election together with a deemed sale election, or (ii) a mark-to-market election under Section 1296 of the Code. If a QEF or mark-to-market election has been made, the electing U.S. holder generally will not be subject to the excess distribution regime discussed above and the tax consequences should be as set forth above under the caption headings “— The Business Combination” and “— Redemption of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares.”

A U.S. holder that owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC during any taxable year of the U.S. holder generally is also required to file an IRS Form 8621 (whether or not a QEF or mark-to-market election is or has been made) with such U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax return and provide such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department. Failure to file IRS Form 8621 for each applicable taxable year may result in substantial penalties and result in the U.S. holder’s taxable years being open to audit by the IRS until such Form is properly filed.

Effect of the PFIC Rules on the Merger

Taxation of U.S. holders Making a Timely QEF Election.    If the U.S. holder has made a timely and effective QEF election for the taxable year that is the first year in the U.S. holder’s holding period of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares during which GSR III was classified as a PFIC or, if in a later taxable year, the U.S. holder made a QEF election together with a deemed sale election, the electing U.S. holder generally will not be subject to the excess distribution regime discussed above in “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules — In general” and the tax consequences generally should be as set forth above under the caption headings “— The Business Combination.”

Taxation of U.S. holders Making a Mark-to-Market Election.    If the U.S. holder makes a valid mark-to-market election for the first taxable year of the U.S. holder in which the U.S. holder holds (or is deemed to hold) GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares and for which GSR III is classified as a PFIC, such holder generally will not be subject to the excess distribution regime discussed above in “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules — In general” and the tax consequences generally should be as set forth above under the caption headings “— The Business Combination,” provided however that any gain recognized on the disposition of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares will be treated as ordinary income.

Taxation of U.S. holders Not Making a Timely QEF or Mark-to-Market Election.    Section 1291(f) of the Code requires that, to the extent provided in Treasury Regulations, a U.S. person who disposes of stock of a PFIC recognizes gain notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. No final Treasury Regulations are currently in effect under Section 1291(f). However, proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) have been promulgated and may be applied with a retroactive effective date. If finalized in their current form, those regulations would generally require taxable gain recognition to U.S. holders of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares as a result of the Merger if GSR III is classified as a PFIC at any time during such U.S. holder’s holding period for such ordinary shares.

If the proposed Treasury Regulations are adopted in their final form, the tax consequences should be as set forth above in “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules — In general.” However, because the proposed Treasury Regulations have not yet been adopted in final form, they are not currently effective and there is no assurance they will be finally adopted in the form and with the effective date proposed. Nevertheless, the IRS has announced that taxpayers may apply reasonable interpretations of Code provisions applicable to PFICs and that it considers the rules set forth in the proposed Treasury Regulations to be reasonable interpretations of those Code provisions. If the proposed Treasury Regulations are not adopted in the form and with the effective date proposed, the determination of whether gain should be recognized on the Merger should be as set forth above under the caption heading “— The Business Combination.

Application of the PFIC Rules to a Redemption of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares

The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. holder of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares that elects to redeem its GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares will depend on whether the U.S. holder has made (i) a timely and effective QEF election for the taxable year that is the first year in the U.S. holder’s holding period of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares during which GSR III was classified as a PFIC or, if in a later taxable year, the U.S. holder made a QEF election together with a deemed sale election, or (ii) a timely and a valid mark-to-market election for the first taxable year of the U.S. holder in which the U.S. holder holds (or is deemed to hold) GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares and for which GSR III is classified as a PFIC. If such a QEF or mark-to-market election has been made, the electing U.S. holder generally will not be subject to the excess distribution regime discussed above in “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules — In general” and the tax consequences should be as set forth above under the caption heading “— Redemption of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares,” otherwise the tax consequences should be as set forth above under the heading “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules — In general.”

The rules dealing with PFICs and with the QEF, deemed sale, and mark-to-market elections are very complex and are affected by various factors. Accordingly, U.S. holders of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules to their GSR III Class A Ordinary under their particular circumstances.

Ownership of PubCo Ordinary Shares

Distributions on PubCo Ordinary Shares

This discussion is subject to the discussion under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules” below.

Distributions on PubCo Ordinary Shares generally will be taxable as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from PubCo’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of PubCo’s current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its PubCo Ordinary Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the PubCo Ordinary Shares and will be treated as described below under the heading “Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares.” The amount of any such distribution will include any amounts withheld by PubCo (or another applicable withholding agent), which, as described below under the heading “Material Dutch Tax Considerations — PubCo Ordinary Shares and “— Material Italian Tax Considerations — PubCo Ordinary Shares,” is expected to be in respect of Italian, and not Dutch, taxes. PubCo does not expect to calculate earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, and accordingly, U.S. holders should expect to generally treat distributions on Ordinary Shares as dividends. Any amount treated as dividend income will be treated as foreign-source dividend income. Amounts treated as dividends that PubCo pays to a U.S. holder that is a taxable corporation generally will be taxed at regular rates and will not qualify for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to domestic corporations in respect of dividends received from other domestic corporations. With respect to non-corporate U.S. holders, subject to certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), dividends generally will be eligible for treatment as “qualified dividend income” and taxed at the lower applicable long-term capital gains rate only if: (i) PubCo Ordinary Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States or PubCo is eligible for benefits under an applicable tax treaty with the United States; (ii) PubCo is not treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. holder at the time the dividend was paid or in the preceding year; and (iii) certain holding period requirements are met. PubCo Ordinary Shares are intended to be listed on Nasdaq, so the first of these requirements is expected to be met. There can be no assurance, however, that PubCo Ordinary Shares will be approved for listing on Nasdaq or considered readily tradable on an established securities market in later years. The amount of any dividend distribution paid in Euros will be the U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date of actual or constructive receipt, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars at that time. A U.S. holder may have foreign currency gain or loss if the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars after the date of receipt. Subject to certain conditions and limitations, withholding taxes, if any, on dividends paid by PubCo, including Italian withholding taxes, may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability under the U.S. foreign tax credit rules. For purposes of calculating the U.S. foreign tax credit, dividends paid on PubCo

93

Table of Contents

Ordinary Shares will generally be treated as income from sources outside the United States and will generally constitute passive category income. The rules governing the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the U.S. foreign tax credit under particular circumstances.

Sale, Exchange, or Other Taxable Disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares

Subject to the discussion below under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” a U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss on any sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized on the disposition and (ii) such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in such shares. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on a taxable disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder’s holding period in such shares exceeds one year at the time of the disposition. Preferential tax rates may apply to long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on the sale or exchange of PubCo Ordinary Shares generally will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss. Therefore, a U.S. holder may have insufficient foreign source income to utilize foreign tax credits attributable to any Italian12 withholding tax imposed on a sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors as to the availability of and limitations on any foreign tax credit attributable to Italian withholding tax.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

A non-U.S. corporation, such as PubCo, will be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any taxable year in which, after applying relevant look-through rules with respect to the income and assets of its subsidiaries, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income is passive income, or (ii) 50% or more of the value of its assets in any taxable year (generally based on the quarterly average of the value of its assets during such year) is attributable to assets, including cash, that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, certain royalties and rents, annuities, net gains from the sale or exchange of property producing such income and net foreign currency gains.

Based on the expected composition of PubCo’s gross assets and income and the manner in which PubCo expects to operate its business in future years, PubCo does not expect to be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for PubCo’s current taxable year or in the foreseeable future. Whether PubCo is a PFIC is a factual determination made annually, and PubCo’s status could change depending, among other things, upon changes in the composition and relative value of its gross receipts and assets, which may be determined by reference to the price of PubCo Ordinary Shares (which could fluctuate significantly).

If PubCo were a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. holder owns PubCo Ordinary Shares, subject to the discussion below regarding the mark-to-market or QEF elections, a U.S. holder generally will be subject to special rules (regardless of whether PubCo continues to be a PFIC) with respect to (i) any “excess distribution” (generally, any distributions received by a U.S. holder on its PubCo Ordinary Shares in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by the U.S. holder in the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. holder’s holding period for the PubCo Ordinary Shares) and (ii) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares. Under these rules (a) the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. holder’s holding period, (b) the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which PubCo is a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income, and (c) the amount allocated to each of the other taxable years will be subject to tax at the highest rate of tax in effect for the applicable class of taxpayer for that year and an interest charge for the deemed deferral benefit will be imposed with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each such other taxable year.

A U.S. holder may be able to avoid some of the adverse impacts of the PFIC rules described above by electing to mark the PubCo Ordinary Shares to market annually. The election is available only if the PubCo Ordinary Shares are considered “marketable stock,” which generally includes stock that is regularly traded in more than de minimis quantities on a qualifying exchange. If a U.S. holder makes the mark-to-market election, any gain from marking the PubCo Ordinary Shares to market or from disposing of them would be ordinary income. Any loss from marking the PubCo Ordinary Shares to market would be recognized only to the extent of unreversed gains previously included in income. Loss from marking the PubCo Ordinary Shares to market would be ordinary, but loss on disposing of them would be capital loss except to the extent of mark-to-market gains previously included in income. It is expected that

94

Table of Contents

PubCo Ordinary Shares, which are expected to be listed on Nasdaq, will qualify as marketable shares for the PFIC rules purposes. No assurance can be given that the PubCo Ordinary Shares will be approved for listing on Nasdaq or traded in sufficient frequency and quantity to be considered “marketable stock.” A valid mark-to-market election cannot be revoked without the consent of the IRS unless the PubCo Ordinary Shares cease to be marketable stock.

If PubCo determines it is a PFIC for any taxable year, upon written request, PubCo will endeavor to provide U.S. holders with the information that would be necessary to make a QEF election with respect to the PubCo Ordinary Shares.

A U.S. holder that owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC during any taxable year of the U.S. holder generally is required to file an IRS Form 8621 (whether or not a QEF or mark-to-market election is or has been made) with such U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax return and provide such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department. Failure to file IRS Form 8621 for each applicable taxable year may result in substantial penalties and result in the U.S. holder’s taxable years being open to audit by the IRS until such Forms are properly filed.

U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the PubCo’s possible PFIC status and the consequences to them, including potential reporting requirements, if PubCo were classified as a PFIC for any taxable year.

Tax Considerations for Non-U.S. holders

The Business Combination

A Non-U.S. holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the exchange of such Non-U.S. holder’s GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares unless (i) the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and if required by an applicable tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. holder in the United States or (ii) the Non-U.S. holder is a non-resident alien individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year in which the Business Combination takes place and certain other requirements are met.

Ownership of PubCo Ordinary Shares

A Non-U.S. holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or, subject to the discussion below under “— Information Reporting and Backup Withholding,” U.S. federal withholding on any dividends received on PubCo Ordinary Shares or any gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares (including, any distribution to the extent it exceeds the adjusted basis in the Non-U.S. holder’s PubCo Ordinary Shares) unless the dividend or gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and if required by an applicable tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. holder in the United States. In addition, special rules may apply to a Non-U.S. holder that is an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the sale or disposition, and certain other requirements are met. Such holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the sale or disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with a Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the same U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to a U.S. holder and, in the case of a Non-U.S. holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, also may be subject to an additional branch profits tax.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information reporting requirements may apply to cash received in redemption of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares, dividends received by U.S. holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares, and the proceeds received on the disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares effected within the United States (and, in certain cases, outside the United States), in each case other than U.S. holders that are exempt recipients (such as corporations). Backup withholding may apply to such amounts if the U.S. holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number (generally on an IRS Form W-9 provided to the paying agent of the U.S. holder’s broker) or is otherwise subject to backup withholding.

Table of Contents

Any redemptions treated as dividend payments with respect to GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares and PubCo Ordinary Shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S. backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and a U.S. holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for a refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding these rules and any other reporting obligations that may apply to the ownership or disposition of PubCo shares, including reporting obligations related to the holding of certain foreign financial assets and reporting obligations related to transactions described in Section 351 of the Code.

Information returns may be filed with the IRS in connection with, and Non-U.S. holders may be subject to backup withholding on amounts received in respect of their GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares or their PubCo Ordinary Shares, unless the Non-U.S. holder furnishes to the applicable withholding agent the required certification as to its non-U.S. status, such as by providing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8ECI, as applicable, or the Non-U.S. holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Dividends paid with respect to PubCo Ordinary Shares and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares received in the United States by a Non-U.S. holder through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless such Non-U.S. holder provides proof of an applicable exemption or complies with certain certification procedures described above, and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules.

Material Cayman Islands Tax Considerations

Cayman Islands Taxation

The following is a discussion on certain Cayman Islands income tax consequences of an investment in shares of a Cayman Islands company. The discussion is a general summary of present law, which is subject to prospective and retroactive change. It is not intended as tax advice, does not consider any investor’s particular circumstances, and does not consider tax consequences other than those arising under Cayman Islands law.

Under Existing Cayman Islands Laws

Payments of dividends and capital in respect of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment of interest and principal or a dividend or capital to any holder of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, nor will gains derived from the disposal of the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporate tax. The Cayman Islands currently has no income, corporate or capital gains tax and no estate duty, inheritance tax or gift tax.

No stamp duty is payable in respect to the issue of shares or on an instrument of transfer in respect of a Class A Share. However, an instrument of transfer in respect of GSR III Shares, is stampable if executed in or brought into the Cayman Islands.

GSR III has been incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability and, as such, has obtained an undertaking from the Financial Secretary of the Cayman Islands in the following form:

The Tax Concessions Law

Undertaking as to Tax Concessions

In accordance with the Tax Concessions Law the following undertaking is hereby given to GSR III:

(a)     that no Law which is hereafter enacted in the Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations shall apply to GSR III or its operations; and

96

Table of Contents

(b)    in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable:

(i)     on or in respect of the shares, debentures or other obligations of GSR III; or

(ii)    by way of the withholding in whole or part, of any relevant payment as defined in the Tax Concessions Law.

These concessions shall be for a period of TWENTY years from the 10th day of         , 2025.

Material Dutch Tax Considerations — PubCo Ordinary Shares

Taxation in the Netherlands

The information set out below is a general summary of and solely addresses the principal material Dutch tax consequences in connection with the acquisition, ownership and transfer of (i) the PubCo Ordinary Shares and it does not purport to describe every aspect of taxation that may be relevant to a particular holder. This summary does not describe any Dutch tax considerations or consequences arising from the Dutch Minimum Tax Act 2024 (the Dutch implementation of Council Directive (EU) 2022/2523 of 14 December 2022 on ensuring a global minimum level of taxation for multinational enterprise groups and large-scale domestic groups in the EU) which may be relevant for a particular holder. Tax matters are complex, and the tax consequences of the Issuance to a particular holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares will depend in part on such holder’s circumstances. Accordingly, a holder is urged to consult his own tax advisor for a full understanding of the tax consequences of the Offer to him, including the applicability and effect of Dutch tax laws.

Where in this summary English terms and expressions are used to refer to Dutch concepts, the meaning to be attributed to such terms and expressions shall be the meaning to be attributed to the equivalent Dutch concepts under Dutch tax law. Where in this summary the terms “the Netherlands” and “Dutch” are used, these refer solely to the European part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This summary assumes that PubCo is organised, and that its business will be conducted, in the manner outlined in this Prospectus. A change to such organisational structure or to the manner in which PubCo conducts its business may invalidate the contents of this summary, which will not be updated to reflect any such change.

This summary is based on the tax law of the Netherlands (unpublished case law not included) as it stands at the date of this Prospectus. The tax law upon which this summary is based, is subject to changes, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change may invalidate the contents of this summary, which will not be updated to reflect such change. The summary does not address any tax consequences arising in any jurisdiction other than the Netherlands.

This summary assumes that PubCo is organized and that its business will be conducted such that PubCo is considered to be tax resident in Italy solely, including for purposes of the tax treaty as concluded between the Netherlands and Italy.

The summary in this Dutch taxation paragraph does not address the Dutch tax consequences for a holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares who:

(i)     is a person who may be deemed an owner of PubCo Ordinary Shares for Dutch tax purposes pursuant to specific statutory attribution rules in Dutch tax law;

(ii)    is, although in principle subject to Dutch corporation tax, in whole or in part, specifically exempt from that tax in connection with income from PubCo Ordinary Shares

(iii)   is an investment institution as defined in the Dutch Corporation Tax Act 1969;

(iv)   is an entity that, although in principle subject to Dutch corporation tax, is fully or partly exempt from Dutch corporation tax;

(v)    owns PubCo Ordinary Shares in connection with a membership of a management board or a supervisory board, an employment relationship, a deemed employment relationship or management role;

97

Table of Contents

(vi)   has a substantial interest in PubCo or a deemed substantial interest in Pubco for Dutch tax purposes. Generally, a person holds a substantial interest if (a) such person — either alone or, in the case of an individual, together with his partner or any of his relatives by blood or by marriage in the direct line (including foster-children) or of those of his partner for Dutch tax purposes — owns or is deemed to own, directly or indirectly, 5% or more of the shares or of any class of shares of PubCo, or rights to acquire, directly or indirectly, such an interest in the shares of PubCo or profit participating certificates relating to 5% or more of the annual profits or to 5% or more of the liquidation proceeds of PubCo, or (b) such person’s shares, rights to acquire shares or profit participating certificates in PubCo are held by him following the application of a non-recognition provision; or

(vii)  is for Dutch tax purposes taxable as a corporate entity and resident of Aruba, Curaçao or Sint Maarten.

Withholding Taxes

PubCo has been incorporated as an Italian limited liability company (Società a responsabilità limitata or Srl). An Srl has legal personality under Italian law. The legal personality is recognized under Dutch tax law. By a deed of cross-border conversion dated          the legal form of Srl, while retaining its legal personality has been converted into a Dutch public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap, or N.V.) under Dutch law. The legal conversion into a Dutch N.V. does not in itself result in PubCo being regarded a tax resident of the Netherlands for purposes of the 1965 Dutch Dividend Withholding Tax or the 2021 Dutch Conditional Withholding Tax Act. As long as PubCo remains a tax resident to Italy solely, distributions of profits by PubCo are as such not subject to Dutch dividend withholding tax nor Dutch conditional withholding tax

Taxes on Income and Capital Gains

Resident holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares

A holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares who is resident or deemed to be resident in the Netherlands for Dutch tax purposes is fully subject to Dutch income tax if he is an individual or fully subject to Dutch corporation tax if it is a corporate entity, or an entity, including an association, a partnership and a mutual fund, taxable as a corporate entity, as described in the summary below.

Individuals deriving profits or deemed to be deriving profits from an enterprise

Any benefits derived or deemed to be derived from or in connection with PubCo Ordinary Shares that are attributable to an enterprise from which an individual derives profits, whether as an entrepreneur or pursuant to a co-entitlement to the net value of an enterprise, other than as a shareholder, are generally subject to Dutch income tax at progressive rates up to 49.5%.

Individuals deriving benefits from miscellaneous activities

Any benefits derived or deemed to be derived from or in connection with PubCo Ordinary Shares that constitute benefits from miscellaneous activities by an individual are generally subject to Dutch income tax at progressive rates up to 49.5%.

An individual may, inter alia, derive, or be deemed to derive, benefits from or in connection with PubCo Ordinary Shares that are taxable as benefits from miscellaneous activities if his investment activities go beyond regular active portfolio management.

Other individuals

If a holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares is an individual whose situation has not been discussed before in this section “Dutch taxation — Taxes on income and capital gains — Resident holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares”, the value of his PubCo Ordinary Shares forms part of the yield basis for purposes of tax on benefits from savings and investments. A deemed benefit, which is calculated on the basis of a holder’s actual bank savings plus his actual other investments (including the value of his PubCo Ordinary Shares, minus his actual liabilities whilst taking into account a deemed benefit for each of these categories, is taxed at the rate of 36%. For the year 2025, the estimated deemed benefit rate for actual bank savings is 1.44%, the deemed benefit rate for actual other investments is 5.88%

98

Table of Contents

and the estimated deemed benefit rate for actual liabilities is 2.62%. The estimated deemed return percentages will be confirmed later. Actual benefits derived from or in connection with his PubCo Ordinary Shares are not subject to Dutch income tax.

The Dutch Supreme Court has ruled that the regime as set out hereinabove is incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights as well as the First Protocol to this Convention in cases where the deemed benefit is higher than the actual nominal return on the assets and liabilities, which includes unrealised changes in value of such assets and liabilities. In these cases, the Dutch Supreme Court has ruled that restoration rights must be granted to such holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares. The Dutch legislator has announced the introduction of new legislation to eliminate the incompatibilities referred to above. Holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares that are taxed in this manner with respect to their PubCo Ordinary Shares are therefore recommended to consult a professional tax adviser.

Corporate entities

Any benefits derived or deemed to be derived from or in connection with PubCo Ordinary Shares that are held by a corporate entity, or an entity, including an association, a partnership and a mutual fund, taxable as a corporate entity, are generally subject to Dutch corporation tax.

General

A holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares will not be deemed to be resident in the Netherlands for Dutch tax purposes by reason only of the execution and/or enforcement of the documents relating to the issue of PubCo Ordinary Shares or the performance by PubCo of its obligations under such documents or under the PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Non-resident holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares

Individuals

If a holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares is an individual who is neither resident nor deemed to be resident in the Netherlands for purposes of Dutch income tax, he will not be subject to Dutch income tax in respect of any benefits derived or deemed to be derived from or in connection with PubCo Ordinary Shares, except if:

(i)     he derives profits from an enterprise, whether as an entrepreneur or pursuant to a co-entitlement to the net value of such enterprise, other than as a shareholder, and such enterprise is carried on, in whole or in part, through a permanent establishment or a permanent representative in the Netherlands, and his PubCo Ordinary Shares are attributable to such permanent establishment or permanent representative; or

(ii)    he derives benefits or is deemed to derive benefits from or in connection with PubCo Ordinary Shares that are taxable as benefits from miscellaneous activities performed in the Netherlands;

Corporate entities

If a holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares is a corporate entity, or an entity including an association, a partnership and a mutual fund, taxable as a corporate entity, which is neither resident, nor deemed to be resident in the Netherlands for purposes of Dutch corporation tax, it will not be subject to Dutch corporation tax in respect of any benefits derived or deemed to be derived from or in connection with PubCo Ordinary Shares, except if:

(i)     it derives profits from an enterprise directly which is carried on, in whole or in part, through a permanent establishment or a permanent representative in the Netherlands, and to which permanent establishment or permanent representative its PubCo Ordinary Shares are attributable; or

(ii)    it derives profits pursuant to a co-entitlement to the net value of an enterprise which is managed in the Netherlands, other than as a holder of securities, and to which enterprise its PubCo Ordinary Shares are attributable.

99

Table of Contents

General

If a holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares is neither resident nor deemed to be resident in the Netherlands, such holder will for Dutch tax purposes not carry on or be deemed to carry on an enterprise, in whole or in part, through a permanent establishment or a permanent representative in the Netherlands by reason only of the execution and/or enforcement of the documents relating to the issue of PubCo Ordinary Shares or the performance by PubCo of its obligations under such documents or under the PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Gift and Inheritance Taxes

No Dutch gift tax or Dutch inheritance tax will arise with respect to an acquisition or deemed acquisition of PubCo Ordinary Shares by way of gift by, or upon the death of, a holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares who is neither resident nor deemed to be resident in the Netherlands for purposes of Dutch gift tax or Dutch inheritance tax except if, in the event of a gift whilst not being a resident nor being a deemed resident in the Netherlands for purposes of Dutch gift tax or Dutch inheritance tax, the holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares becomes a resident or a deemed resident in the Netherlands and dies within 180 days after the date of the gift.

For purposes of Dutch gift tax and Dutch inheritance tax, a gift of PubCo Ordinary Shares made under a condition precedent is deemed to be made at the time the condition precedent is satisfied.

Registration taxes and duties

No Dutch registration tax, stamp duty or any other similar tax or duty, other than court fees, will be payable in the Netherlands by a holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares in connection with the acquisition, ownership and transfer of the PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Material Italian Tax Considerations — PubCo Ordinary Shares

Taxation in Italy

The information set out below is a general summary of the material Italian tax consequences connected with the acquisition, ownership and transfer of the PubCo Ordinary Shares.

This summary does not purport to be a comprehensive description of every aspect of Italian taxation that may be relevant in the hands of a particular holder of the PubCo Ordinary Shares, who may be subject to special treatment under the applicable law, nor does this summary intend to be applicable in all respects to all categories of holders of the Ordinary Shares. For purposes of Italian tax law, a holder of the PubCo Ordinary Shares may include an individual or entity who does not have the legal title to the PubCo Ordinary Shares, but to whom or to which nevertheless the PubCo Ordinary Shares or the income therefrom are attributed based on specific statutory provisions or on the basis of such individual or entity having an interest in the PubCo Ordinary Shares or the income therefrom.

This summary assumes that the Ordinary Shares will be listed on a regulated market, qualified as such for Italian tax purposes. This summary also assumes that PubCo is organized and that its business will be conducted such that PubCo is considered to be tax resident in Italy for purposes of the tax treaty as concluded between the Netherlands and Italy. A change to the organizational structure or to the manner in which PubCo conducts its business may invalidate the contents of this section, which will not be updated to reflect any such change.

This summary is based upon the tax laws of the Republic of Italy and upon the case law/practice (unpublished case law/practice is not included) as it stands at the date of this prospectus. The law upon which this description is based is subject to change, potentially with retroactive effect. Any such change may invalidate the contents of this description, which will not be updated to reflect this change. The summary does not address the tax consequences arising in any jurisdiction other than Italy.

As this is a general summary, holders of the PubCo Ordinary Shares, should consult their own tax advisers as to the Italian or other tax consequences connected with the acquisition, ownership and transfer of the PubCo Ordinary Shares, including, in particular, the application to their particular situations of the tax considerations discussed below.

TAXATION OF HOLDERS OF ORDINARY SHARES TAX RESIDENT IN ITALY

Individuals not engaged in business activity

Under Decree No. 600 of September 29, 1973 (Decree 600), dividends paid to Italian resident individuals who hold the Ordinary Shares neither in connection with a business activity nor in the context of the discretionary investment portfolio regime (risparmio gestito) as defined in subparagraph (A)(ii) below are subject to 26% tax withheld at source in Italy. In this case, the holders are not required to report the dividends in their income tax returns.

101

Table of Contents

Subject to certain conditions (including a minimum holding period requirement) and limitations, dividends paid by PubCo may be exempt from any income taxation (including from the 26% tax withheld at source) if the Ordinary Shares do not represent a Qualified Holding and are included in a long-term savings account (piano di risparmio a lungo termine) that meets all the requirements set forth under Italian tax law.

Individuals not engaged in business activity and holding the Ordinary Shares under the “risparmio gestito” regime

Dividends paid to Italian resident individuals who do not hold the Ordinary Shares in connection with a business activity are not subject to any tax withheld at source in Italy if (a) the holder has entrusted the management of the shares to an authorized intermediary under a discretionary asset management contract, and (b) the holder has elected for the discretionary investment portfolio regime (risparmio gestito) under Article 7 of Legislative Decree No. 461 of November 21, 1997 (Decree 461). In this case, the dividends are included in the annual accrued management result (risultato maturato annuo di gestione), which is subjected to a 26% substitute tax. The 26% substitute tax is applied by the authorized intermediary entrusted with the management and the dividends shall not be reported in the income tax return of the resident individual shareholder.

Sole Proprietors

Dividends paid to Italian resident individuals who hold the Ordinary Shares in connection with a business activity (Sole Proprietors) are not subject to any tax withheld at source in Italy, provided that, in this case, the holders declare at the time of receipt that the profits collected are from holdings connected with their business activity. In this case, dividends must be reported in the income tax return, but only 58.14% of such dividends are included in the holder’s overall business income taxable in Italy.

Partnerships (Italian “società in nome collettivo,” “società in accomandita semplice,” “società semplice” and similar Italian partnerships as referred to in Article 5 CITA)

If it is instead a non-business partnership (società semplice), based on Article 32-quarter of Law Decree No. 124 of October 26, 2019, as subsequently amended and supplemented, dividends are deemed to be received on a tax transparency basis by the partners and are subject to tax under the tax regime applicable to the relevant partner (i.e., as if they were directly paid to each partner).

Companies and other business entities referred to in Article 73(1)(a)-(b) CITA

No Italian tax is withheld at source on dividends paid to Italian resident companies and other Italian resident business entities as referred to in Article 73(1)(a)-(b) CITA, including, among others, corporations (società per azioni), partnerships limited by shares (società in accomandita per azioni), limited liability companies (società a responsabilità limitata) and public and private entities whose sole or primary purpose is to carry out business activities. Only 5% of such dividends are included in the overall business income subject to IRES, unless the Ordinary Shares are financial assets held for trading by holders that apply IAS/IFRS international accounting standards. In this latter case, the full amount of the dividends is included in the holder’s overall business income subject to IRES.

According to Article 1(44 – 46) of Finance Act 2021, 50% of the dividends paid to non-business entities referred to in Article 73(1)(c) CITA will be excluded from their IRES taxable base provided that they: (i) exclusively or mainly carry out any of the qualifying non-profit activities listed in Article 1(45) of Finance Act 2021 and (ii) earmark the related tax savings to a non-distributable reserve and use these resources to finance these non-profit activities.

Investment Funds, SICAVs and SICAFs

Dividends received by Italian investment funds and Italian investment companies with variable or fixed capital (“SICAVs” and “SICAFs”), other than real estate investment funds/SICAVs/SICAFs, are not subject to any withholding tax or substitute tax provided that (i) they are established in Italy and (ii) the investment fund, SICAV, SICAF or their manager is subject to the supervision of a regulatory authority. These dividends are included in the results of the investment fund, SICAVs or SICAFs, which are not subject to tax at the level of the investment fund, SICAV or SICAF, but a withholding tax at 26% rate may apply, in certain circumstances, to distributions made in favor of certain categories of unitholders or shareholders of the investment fund, SICAV or SICAF.

Real estate Investment Funds and Real Estate SICAFs

Dividends received by Italian-resident real estate investment funds established pursuant to Article 37 of Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998, as amended and supplemented, or pursuant to Article 14-bis of Law No. 86 of 25 January 1994 (“Real Estate Investment Funds”), and by Italian real estate SICAFs (“Real Estate SICAFs”) are not subject to any withholding or substitute tax at the level of the Real Estate Investment Funds or Real Estate SICAFs, but a withholding tax of 26% may apply, in certain circumstances to distributions made in favor of certain categories of investors. In certain cases, a tax transparency regime may apply in respect of certain categories of investors owning more than 5% of the Italian Real Estate Investment Fund’s or Real Estate SICAF’s units or shares.

TAXATION OF HOLDERS OF ORDINARY SHARES NOT TAX RESIDENT IN ITALY

Non-resident persons holding the Ordinary Shares through a permanent establishment in Italy

No Italian tax is withheld at source on dividends paid to non-resident persons that hold the Ordinary Shares through a permanent establishment in Italy to which the Ordinary Shares are effectively connected. Only 5% of the dividends are included in the overall income subject to IRES, unless the Ordinary Shares are financial assets held for trading by holders that apply IAS/IFRS international accounting. In this latter case, the full amount of the dividends is included in the overall business income subject to IRES. If the Ordinary Shares are held by a non-resident Sole Proprietor through a permanent establishment in Italy to which the Ordinary Shares are effectively connected, only 58.14% of the dividends is included in the overall income subject to personal income tax.

For some types of businesses and under certain conditions, dividends are also partially included in the net value of production, which is subject to IRAP.

Non-Resident Persons that Do Not Hold the Ordinary Shares through a Permanent Establishment in Italy

A 26% tax withheld at source generally applies on dividends paid to non-resident persons that do not have a permanent establishment in Italy to which the Ordinary Shares are effectively connected.

103

Table of Contents

Subject to a specific application that must be submitted to the Italian tax authorities under the terms and conditions provided by law, non-resident holders are entitled to relief (in the form of a refund), which cannot be greater than 11/26 (eleven twenty-sixths) of the tax levied in Italy, if they can demonstrate that they have paid final tax abroad on the same profits. Holders who may be eligible for the relief should consult with their own independent tax advisors to determine whether they are eligible for, and how to obtain, the tax refund.

As an alternative to the relief described above, persons resident in Countries that have a double tax treaty in force with Italy may request that the withholding tax on dividends be levied at the (reduced) rate provided under the applicable tax treaty, provided that the non-resident person promptly submits proper documentation.

The domestic withholding tax rate on dividends is 1.2% (and not 26%) if the recipients and beneficial owners of the dividends of Ordinary Shares are companies or entities that are (a) resident for tax purposes in an EU Member State or in an EEA State that is included in the Italian White List and (b) subject to corporate income tax in such State. These companies and entities are not entitled to the relief described above.

The domestic withholding tax rate on dividends is 11% (and not 26%) if the recipients and beneficial owners of the dividends on the Ordinary Shares are pension funds that are set up in an EU Member States or an EEA State included in the Italian White List.

No Italian tax is withheld at source on dividends paid to (i) foreign undertakings for collective investment that comply with Directive 2009/65/EC, or (ii) foreign undertakings for collective investment that do not fall within the scope of Directive 2009/65/EC but whose asset manager is subject to regulatory supervision according to Directive 2011/61/EU, provided that in both case (i) and (ii) the foreign undertaking for collective investment is organized under the laws of an EU Member State or an EEA State that is included in the White List.

Under Article 27-bis of Decree 600, which implemented in Italy the Directive 435/90/EEC of July 23, 1990, then recast in EU Directive 2011/96 of November 30, 2011 (the “Parent-Subsidiary Directive”), a company is entitled to a full refund of the withholding tax levied on the dividends if it (a) has one of the legal forms provided for in the appendix to the Parent-Subsidiary Directive, (b) is resident for tax purposes in an EU Member State without being considered to be resident outside the EU according to a double tax treaty signed with a non-EU country, (c) is subject in the country of residence to one of the taxes indicated in the appendix to the Parent Subsidiary Directive with no possibility of benefiting from optional or exemption regimes that have no territorial or time limitations, and (d) directly holds Ordinary Shares that represent an interest in the issued and outstanding capital of PubCo of no less than 10% for an uninterrupted period of at least one year. If these conditions are met, and as an alternative to submitting a refund request after the dividend distribution, the non-resident company may request that no tax is levied at the time the dividends are paid, provided that (x) the 1-year holding period under condition (d) above has already run and (y) the non-resident company promptly submits proper documentation. EU resident companies that are controlled directly or indirectly by persons that are not resident in a EU Member State may request the refund or the direct withholding exemption only if the EU resident companies prove that they do not hold the Ordinary Shares for the sole or primary purpose of benefiting from the Parent-Subsidiary Directive. The substitute tax exemption under Article 27-bis of Decree 600 may be denied by the Italian tax authorities in case of artificial and non-genuine structures pursuant to the Italian general anti-abuse rule (i.e., Article 10-bis of Law No. 212 of July 27, 2000).

Under the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation providing for measures equivalent to those laid down in Council Directive 2003/48/EC on taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments, the withholding tax refund/exemption regime described above also applies to dividends paid to a company that (a) is resident for tax purposes in Switzerland without being considered to be resident outside Switzerland according to a double tax treaty signed with a non-EU country, (b) is a limited company, (c) is subject to Swiss corporate tax without being exempted or benefiting from preferential tax regimes, and (d) directly holds Ordinary Shares that represent an interest in PubCo’s issued and outstanding capital of no less than 25% for an uninterrupted period of at least two years.

The application of the above-described tax relief, WHT reduction under the double tax treaties or WHT exemption, is subject to conditions required under the applicable laws and/or treaties, which may vary depending on the case, as well as to the fulfillment by the holders of certain formalities, such as the timely provision to the withholding tax agent of affidavits, self-statements and tax residence certificates. In this respect, holders should consult with their own independent tax advisors to determine whether they are eligible for, and how to obtain, such tax relief, WHT reductions or exemption.

Taxation of Distributions of Certain Capital Reserves

Special rules apply to the distribution of certain capital reserves, including reserves or funds created with share offerings’ premiums, adjusted interest paid by subscribers of shares, capital contributions, capital account payments made by shareholders or tax-exempt monetary revaluation funds. Under certain circumstances, such distribution may trigger taxable income for the recipients depending on the existence of current profits or outstanding profit reserves of the distributing company at the time of the distribution, and on the actual nature of the reserves so distributed. The application of such rules may also have an impact on the tax basis in the Ordinary Shares and the characterization of the taxable income received by the recipients and the tax regime applicable to it. Non-resident shareholders may be subject to tax in Italy on capital gains as a result of the distribution of such reserves. Prospective investors should consult their advisers in case any distributions of such capital reserves occur

Individuals not engaged in business activity

Capital gains realized by Italian-resident individuals on the sale or disposal of the Ordinary Shares, held otherwise than in connection with a business activity, are subject to a 26% substitute tax, pursuant to one of the following optional regimes:

        Tax return regime (“Regime della dichiarazione”):    the shareholder must report on their annual income tax return the overall capital gains realized in each tax year, net of any incurred capital losses of the same nature, and pay any related substitute tax together with the income tax due for the same tax year. Capital losses exceeding capital gains may be carried forward against capital gains of the same nature realized in the next tax years up to the fourth. The tax return regime automatically applies if the shareholders do not expressly opt for one of the two following regimes;

        Non-discretionary investment portfolio regime (“Regime del risparmio amministrato”):    this regime applies only if the shareholder’s Ordinary Shares are deposited with Italian banks, broker-dealers or other authorized intermediaries, and the shareholder makes an election in writing for this regime. The intermediary with whom the Ordinary Shares are deposited applies and pays the substitute tax with respect to each sale resulting in a capital gain. Where a sale results in a net capital loss, the intermediary is entitled to deduct such capital loss from capital gains of the same nature subsequently realized on assets held by the shareholder on the same deposit account in the same tax year and/or in tax years following the tax year in which the loss is realized up to the fourth; and

        Discretionary investment portfolio regime (“Regime del risparmio gestito”):    this regime applies if the Ordinary Shares are included in a portfolio managed by a duly authorized financial intermediary. Under this regime, any income realized in connection with the Ordinary Shares, including accrued dividends and capital gains accrued but not yet cashed, is included in the net annual results accrued under the portfolio management. The annual net accrued portfolio result is subject to 26% substitute tax, which is levied by the portfolio management company. Any investment portfolio losses accrued at year-end may be carried forward and offset against net profits accrued in the tax years following the one in which the loss is accrued up to the fourth.

Under the second and third regimes above, the shareholder is not required to report the capital gains/losses in his or her annual income tax return. Under the tax return regime, capital gains are computed on a last in first out (so-called “LIFO”) basis. Under the non-discretionary investment portfolio regime capital gains are computed on a weighted average cost basis. Under both regimes capital gains are equal to the difference between the consideration received and the tax basis held in the Ordinary Shares, increased by the expenses incurred to make the investment (other than interest expense).

Moreover, subject to certain conditions and requirements (including a five-year minimum holding period), and several limitations (including amount and composition of the capital investment), Italian resident individuals not holding the Ordinary Shares in connection with a business activity, may be exempt from any taxation on capital gains realized on the Sale of a Non-Qualified Holdings if the Ordinary Shares are included in a long-term individual savings account (piano individuale di risparmio a lungo termine) that meets the requirements from time to time applicable as set forth by Italian law.

105

Table of Contents

Individuals engaged in business activity and partnerships and similar entities

Capital gains realized by Italian resident partnerships and similar entities or Italian-resident individuals on the sale or disposal of the Ordinary Shares held in connection with a business activity, are included in the recipient’s overall taxable income for the entire amount in the tax year in which they are realized, subject to income tax at ordinary rates, and are reported in the recipient’s income tax return.

However, if the conditions indicated in the following paragraph for the Participation Exemption Regime (as defined below) provided for capital gains realized by Italian resident companies and commercial entities were satisfied, these capital gains would be subject to tax only partially, in an amount equal to 58.14% of the capital gains. In this event, any relating capital losses would be deductible for a corresponding amount.

Companies and other business entities referred to in Article 73(1)(a)(b) CITA

Capital gains realized by Italian-resident companies, private and public entities (other than companies) and trusts whose sole or main purpose is to carry out a business activity, are included in their taxable income and are subject to IRES according to the ordinary rules.

If the Orindary Shares were held and accounted for as fixed financial assets in the three-year period preceding the disposal, the shareholder may elect to spread any realized gain on a straight-line basis across the five-year period commencing in the tax year in which the gain is realized. However, capital gains arising from the disposal of the Ordinary Shares are tax-exempt for 95% of such capital gains (under the so called “Participation Exemption Regime”), whereas the remaining 5% is included in the shareholders’ taxable income and is subject to IRES, provided that the following conditions are met:

a)      The shareholding must be held, without interruption, from the first day of the twelfth month preceding the month in which the sale occurs (the most recently purchased shares being deemed to have been sold first); and

b)      The shareholding must be accounted for in the financial statements of the shareholder as a fixed financial asset in the first year of the holding period. For companies that prepare their financial statements in accordance with the international accounting standards (IAS/IFRS), the shares not accounted as “held for trading” are deemed as fixed financial assets.

Capital losses realized on the disposal of Ordinary Shares recorded as financial fixed assets in the first year of the holding period are disallowed for tax purposes if the shareholding has been held, without interruption, from the first day of the twelfth month preceding the month in which the sale occurs.

In any other case, capital losses arising from the sale of the Ordinary Shares are generally fully deductible except for an amount equal to the non-taxable dividends (or interim dividends) received in the 36 months preceding the sale, with respect to Ordinary Shares acquired in the 36 months preceding the sale. Such limitation does not apply to those entities applying the international accounting standards (IAS/IFRS).

Capital losses in excess of €50 thousand must be reported to the Italian tax administration together with other additional information, as set forth in the implementing measures adopted by the tax authorities with Rulings of March 29, 2007 and of July 13, 2007. Such an obligation does not apply to entities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the international accounting standards (IAS/IFRS).

Moreover, the data and the information relating to capital losses in excess of €5 million, deriving from the sales of shares accounted for as fixed financial assets, must be included in the recipient’s tax return.

Capital gains on the Ordinary Shares realized by certain companies and commercial entities (e.g., banks and insurance companies) may also be subject to IRAP.

Non-Business Entities

Capital gains on Ordinary Shares held by Italian-resident public or private non-commercial entities and trusts are subject to the tax regime described in connection with capital gains realized by Italian resident individual shareholders otherwise than in connection with a business activity.

106

Table of Contents

Pension funds

Capital gains on Ordinary Shares held by Italian-resident pension funds are subject to the same tax regime described under the paragraph relating to the taxation regime of dividends received by such funds, above.

Investment Funds, SICAVs and SICAFs

Capital gains on Ordinary Shares held by Italian resident investment funds, SICAVs and SICAFs (other than Real Estate Investment Funds and Real Estate SICAFs) are subject to the same tax regime described under the paragraph relating to the taxation regime of dividends received by such entities, above.

Real estate Investment Funds and Real Estate SICAFs

Capital gains on Ordinary Shares held by Real Estate Investment Funds and Real Estate SICAFs are subject to the same tax regime described under the paragraph relating to the taxation regime of dividends received by such entities, above.

NON-ITALIAN RESIDENT PERSONS

Capital gains realized by non-Italian-resident shareholders without a permanent establishment in Italy, to which the relevant Ordinary Shares are effectively connected, from the:

(a)     Sale of a Non-Qualified Holding in Italian companies listed on a regulated market, such as the Issuer, are not subject to taxation in Italy, regardless of the provisions set forth in any applicable double tax treaty. In order to benefit from this exemption, such non-Italian-resident persons may need to file a certificate evidencing their residence outside of Italy for tax purposes;

(b)    Sale of a Qualified Holding, are subject to the same 26% substitute tax regime described above for Italian resident individuals not engaged in a business activity. However, if the conditions provided for the Participation Exemption Regime summarized above are met, as to capital gains realized upon the sale or disposal of a Qualified Holding by non-Italian resident companies and entities referred to in Article 73(1)(d) TUIR, that do not have a permanent establishment in Italy to which the Ordinary Shares are effectively connected and are resident for tax purposes in an EU Member State or in a state that is party to the EEA and is included in the White List, the 26% substitute tax applies only on 5% of capital gains realized. Moreover, capital gains realized by undertakings for collective investment complying with UCITS Directive, and by undertakings for collective investment which do not comply with UCITS Directive, but whose manager is subject to regulatory supervision in the foreign country in which it is established in accordance with AIFM Directive, which are established in an EU Member States or an EEA state included in the White List, are not subject to tax in Italy.

The tax regime described above will not prevent the application, if more favorable to the taxpayer, of any different provisions of any applicable convention against double taxation with Italy. Most conventions against double taxation entered into by Italy provide that capital gains realized on the disposal of shares are subject to tax only in the country of residence of the seller. In such cases, the capital gains realized by non-resident shareholders on the disposal of the Ordinary Shares will not be subject to tax in Italy. In order to benefit from exemption under conventions against double taxation entered into by Italy, non-Italian-resident shareholders may need to file a certificate evidencing their residence outside of Italy for tax purposes.

Capital gains realized by non-resident shareholders holding the shareholding through a permanent establishment in Italy are included in the permanent establishment’s overall taxable income and are subject to tax in Italy in accordance with the tax regime indicated above for capital gains realized by Italian resident companies or commercial entities.

Transfer Tax

Contracts or other legal instruments relating to the transfer of securities (including the transfer of the Ordinary Shares) are subject to registration tax as follows: (i) notary deeds (atti pubblici) and private deeds with notarized signatures (scritture private authenticate) executed in Italy must mandatorily be registered with the Italian tax

107

Table of Contents

authorities and are subject to €200.00 registration tax; and (ii) private deeds (scritture private) are subject to €200.00 registration tax only if they are voluntary filed for registration with the Italian tax authorities or if the so-called “caso d’uso” or “enunciazione” occurs.

Financial Transaction Tax

Article 1(491-500) of Law No. 228 of December 24, 2012 introduced a financial transaction tax (FTT) applicable, among others, to the transfers of the ownership of (i) shares issued by Italian resident corporations, (ii) participating financial instruments (as defined under Article 2346(6) of the Italian Civil Code) issued by Italian resident corporations, and (iii) securities representing equity investments in Italian resident corporations, regardless of the place of residence of the issuer of such securities and of the place where the contract has been concluded.

The residence of the issuer for the purposes of FTT is the place where the issuer has its registered office (intended as its corporate seat).

Since the corporate seat of PubCo is not in Italy, transfers of ownership of the Ordinary Shares will not be subject to FTT.

Inheritance and Gift Tax

Transfers of any valuable asset (including the Ordinary Shares or other securities) as a result of death or donation are taxed as follows:

a)      transfers in favour of spouses and direct descendants or direct ancestors are subject to an inheritance and gift tax applied at a rate of 4 per cent. on the value of the inheritance or gift exceeding, for each beneficiary, Euro 1,000,000;

b)      transfers in favour of relatives to the fourth degree or relatives-in-law to the third degree are subject to an inheritance and gift tax at a rate of 6 per cent. on the entire value of the inheritance or the gift. Transfers in favour of brothers/sisters are subject to the 6 per cent. inheritance and gift tax on the value of the inheritance or gift exceeding, for each beneficiary, Euro 100,000; and

c)      any other transfer is, in principle, subject to an inheritance and gift tax applied at a rate of 8 per cent. on the entire value of the inheritance or gift.

If the transfer is made in favour of persons with severe disabilities, the tax is levied at the rate mentioned above in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) on the value exceeding, for each beneficiary, Euro 1,500,000.

Subject to certain conditions, no inheritance or gift tax applies on certain transfers of Ordinary Shares that qualify as, or allow to obtain, a controlling shareholding pursuant to Article 2359 (1) of the Italian Civil Code.

The transfer of financial instruments (including the Ordinary Shares) as a result of death is exempt from inheritance tax when such financial instruments are included in a long-term individual savings account (piano individuale di risparmio a lungo termine) that meets the requirements from time to time applicable as set forth by Italian law.

The tax regime described above will not prevent the application, if more favorable to the taxpayer, of any different provisions of a bilateral convention against double taxation in force in Italy with respect to taxes on estates and inheritances, pursuant to which non-Italian resident shareholders are generally entitled to a tax credit for any estate and inheritance taxes possibly applied in Italy.

Stamp Duty

Under Article 13(2bis — 2ter) of Decree No. 642 of October 26, 1972, subject to certain conditions, a 0.20% stamp duty generally applies on communications and reports that Italian financial intermediaries periodically send to their clients in relation to the financial products that are deposited with such intermediaries or with an Italian permanent establishment of a foreign financial intermediary. Shares are included in the definition of financial products for these purposes. Communications and reports are deemed to be sent at least once a year even if the Italian financial intermediary is under no obligation to either draft or send such communications and reports.

108

Table of Contents

The stamp duty cannot exceed €14,000.00 per year for investors other than individuals.

The stamp duty applies to any investor who is a client (as defined in the regulations issued by the Bank of Italy on June 20, 2012) of an entity that exercises in any form a banking, financial or insurance activity within the Italian territory.

Wealth Tax on Financial Products Held Abroad

Under Article 19 of Decree No. 201 of December 6, 2011, individuals, non-business entities and non-business partnerships resident for tax purposes in Italy, which hold certain financial products outside of the Italian territory (including shares) are required to pay a wealth tax at the rate of 0.20% (0.40% if the financial products are held in a country listed in the Italian Ministerial Decree dated 4 May 1999, pursuant to the provisions of Law No. 213/2023). The wealth tax applies on the market value at the end of the relevant year or — in the lack thereof — on the nominal value or the redemption value of such financial products held outside of Italian territory. The wealth tax cannot exceed €14,000 per year for investors other than individuals.

Taxpayers may deduct from the Italian wealth tax a tax credit equal to any wealth tax paid in the country where the financial products are held (up to the amount of the Italian wealth tax due).

Details of the financial activities held abroad have to be inserted in the income tax return to be filed in Italy by the Italian resident individuals.

Certain Reporting Obligations for Italian Resident Holders

Under Law Decree No. 167 of June 28, 1990, individuals, non-business entities and non-business partnerships that are resident in Italy for tax purposes and, during the fiscal year, hold financial assets abroad (including, possibly, the PubCo Ordinary Shares) must, in certain circumstances, disclose these financial assets to the Italian tax authorities in their income tax return (or if the income tax return is not due, in a proper form that must be filed within the same term as prescribed for the annual income tax return), regardless of the value of such assets (save for deposits or bank accounts having an aggregate value not exceeding €15,000.00 throughout the year). The requirement applies also if the persons above, being not the direct holder of the financial assets, are the beneficial owners thereof for the purposes of anti-money laundering legislation.

No disclosure requirements exist on financial assets (including, possibly, the PubCo Ordinary Shares) under management or administration entrusted to Italian resident financial intermediaries and for contracts concluded through their intervention, provided that the cash flows and the income derived from such assets and contracts have been subjected to Italian withholding tax or substitute tax by such intermediaries.

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT AND ANCILLARY DOCUMENTS

This section of the proxy statement/prospectus describes the material provisions of the Business Combination Agreement, but does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Business Combination Agreement, which is attached as Annex A hereto. You are urged to read carefully the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety because it is the primary legal document that governs the Business Combination. The legal rights and obligations of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement are governed by the specific language of the Business Combination Agreement, and not this summary.

The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Business Combination Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement are also modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules, which are referred to herein as the “Schedules,” which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to shareholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. GSR III and Terra Innovatum do not believe that the Schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement may, may not have been or may not be, as applicable, accurate as of any specific date and do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Accordingly, no person should rely on the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement or the summaries thereof in this proxy statement/prospectus as characterizations of the actual state of facts about GSR III or Terra Innovatum or any other matter.

Material Adverse Effect

Under the Business Combination Agreement, certain representations and warranties of Terra Innovatum and GSR III are qualified in whole or in part by materiality thresholds. In addition, certain representations and warranties of Terra Innovatum and GSR III are qualified in whole or in part by a material adverse effect standard for purposes of determining whether a breach of such representations and warranties has occurred. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, a “Terra Material Adverse Effect” means any event, series of events, condition, state of facts, development, change, circumstance, occurrence or effect (collectively, “Event”)that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on (i) the business, results of operations or financial condition of the Terra Entities, taken as a whole, or (ii) the ability of the Terra Entities to consummate the Transactions; provided, however, that, in no event will any of the following, alone or in combination, be deemed to constitute, or be taken into account in determining whether there has been or will be, a “Terra Material Adverse Effect”: (a) any change in applicable Laws or GAAP or any interpretation of such Laws or GAAP following the Execution Date, (b) any change in interest rates or economic, political, business or financial market conditions generally (c) the taking of any action expressly required by or permitted to be taken under this Agreement, (d) any natural disaster (including hurricanes, storms, tornados, flooding, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or similar occurrences), pandemic, acts of nature or change in climate, or any declaration of a national emergency by any Governmental Authority, (e) any acts of terrorism or war, the outbreak or escalation of hostilities, geopolitical conditions, local, national or international political conditions, or social conditions, (f) any failure in and of itself of the Terra Entities or any of their respective Subsidiaries to meet any projections or forecasts, provided that the exception in this clause (f) shall not prevent or otherwise affect a determination that any change, effect or development underlying such change has resulted in or contributed to a Terra Material Adverse Effect, (g) any Events generally applicable to the industries or markets in which the Terra Entities or any of their respective Subsidiaries operate, (h) any action taken by, or at the request of, or with the express consent of GSR III; provided, that in the case of each of clauses (a), (b), (d), (e) and (g), any such Event to the extent it disproportionately affects the Terra Entities or any of their respective Subsidiaries relative to other participants in the industries in which such Persons operate shall not be excluded from the determination of whether there has been, or would reasonably be expected to be, a Terra Material Adverse Effect.

Under the Business Combination Agreement, certain representations and warranties of GSR III are qualified in whole or in part by a material adverse effect standard for purposes of determining whether a breach of such representations and warranties has occurred. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, a “GSR III Material Adverse Effect” means any Event that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on (i) the business, results of operations or financial condition of GSR III, taken as a whole or (ii) the ability of GSR III to consummate the Transactions; provided, however, that in no event would any of the following, alone or in combination, be deemed to constitute, or be taken into account in determining whether there has been or will be, a “GSR III Material Adverse Effect”: (a) any change in applicable Laws or GAAP or any interpretation of such Laws or GAAP following the Execution Date, (b) any change in economic, political, business or financial market conditions generally, (c) the taking of any action expressly required to be taken under this Agreement, (d) any natural disaster (including hurricanes, storms, tornados, flooding, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or similar occurrences), pandemic, acts of nature or change in climate, or any declaration of a national emergency by any Governmental Authority, (e) any acts of terrorism or war, the outbreak or escalation of hostilities, geopolitical conditions, local, national or international political conditions, or social conditions, (f) the consummation and effects of any GSR III Share Redemptions, (g) any Events generally applicable to the industries or markets in which GSR III operates, (h) any action taken by, or at the request of, or with the express consent of the Terra Entities; provided, that in the case of each of clauses (a), (b), (d), (e) and (g), any such Event to the extent it disproportionately affects

111

Table of Contents

GSR III relative to other participants in the industries in which such Persons operate shall not be excluded from the determination of whether there has been, or would reasonably be expected to be, a GSR III Material Adverse Effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to GSR III, the amount of the GSR III Share Redemptions or the failure to obtain the GSR III Shareholder Approval shall not be deemed to be a GSR III Material Adverse Effect.

The Closing is required to take following the satisfaction (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver) of the conditions described below under the section entitled “— Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination,” (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) or at such other date and time as GSR III and Terra Innovatum may agree in writing. All closing actions will be deemed to be one, single transaction.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and accompanying notes are provided to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Closing, the Bridge Loan Financing (described in the “Bridge Loan Financing” section below), and adjustments for other material events (“Other Material Events”) and the pro forma adjustments for the Other Material Events are referred to herein as “Adjustments for Other Material Events.” The following information is also relevant to understanding the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contained herein.

On April 21, 2025, GSR III, Terra Innovatum, Terra MergerCo, and New TopCo entered into the Business Combination Agreement. The Business Combination Agreement and related agreements provide for the following:

Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring

On April 29, 2025, Terra Innovatum formed New TopCo with the same holders in the same ownership percentages as Terra Innovatum. Prior to the Closing, Terra Innovatum will effectuate the Contribution whereby the quotaholders of Terra Innovatum contribute 100% of their respective quotas in the capital of Terra Innovatum to New TopCo. As a result of the Contribution, Terra Innovatum will become a wholly owned subsidiary of New TopCo. As of the date of this filing, the Contribution has not yet occurred.

Following the Contribution, but prior to the effective time of the Closing, New TopCo will be cross-border converted from an Italian limited liability company into a Dutch public limited liability company through the Conversion. The Contribution and the Conversion are collectively considered the Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring.

In connection with and by virtue of the Conversion, each quota of New TopCo held by a New TopCo Quotaholder will be converted into New TopCo Ordinary Shares at the Common Conversion Ratio of 475,000. Upon the consummation of the Conversion, New TopCo is referred to as “PubCo.”

Following the completion of the Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring, but prior to the effective time of the Closing, the following will occur.

New TopCo will form Terra MergerCo as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of New TopCo for the purpose of consummating the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

        Each whole GSR III Right that is outstanding shall automatically convert into one GSR III Class A Ordinary Share.

At the effective time of the Closing:

        Terra MergerCo will merge with and into GSR III, the separate corporate existence of Terra MergerCo will cease and GSR III will be the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of New TopCo. New TopCo upon the Closing, is referred to as “PubCo”.

Each GSR III Ordinary Share issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing will be converted into PubCo Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis.

In connection with the Closing, PubCo shall register the issuance of PubCo Ordinary Shares with the SEC and become a publicly traded company listed on Nasdaq.

On December 18, 2024, Terra Innovatum entered into an agreement with Park Avenue Capital Group Corp. (“PAC”), a third-party entity, which was immediately superseded by an agreement to appoint Moonshot Warehouse LTD (“Moonshot”), an affiliate of PAC, to serve as its financial advisor regarding a potential business combination with a special purpose acquisition company. PAC will receive certain fees for its services, which will become payable upon the Closing, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the letter agreement dated December 18, 2024 between Terra Innovatum and PAC. Upon the Closing, PAC will receive a $2.5 million success fee payable in cash at the Closing, 223,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares issued at the

123

Table of Contents

Closing (the “Ordinary Shares Success Fee”), and a warrant exercisable for up to 1,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $7.00 per share. Further, PAC will be issued 40 PubCo Preferred Shares upon the Closing, which are contingently convertible into shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares (the “Financial Advisor Additional Shares”), subject to the tranche conversion milestones, discussed in the Additional Shares section below. Upon meeting the conditions for each tranche, the shares will mandatorily convert into PubCo Ordinary Shares at a conversion ratio of 10,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares per PubCo Preferred Share.

Additional Shares — Terra Innovatum Quotaholders

Upon the Closing, former Terra Innovatum Quotaholders will receive additional shares in the form of 8,000 PubCo Preferred Shares. The Business Combination Agreement provides, among other things, that the holders of PubCo Preferred Shares issued in connection with the Closing will have the PubCo Preferred Shares mandatorily convert subsequent to the Closing into PubCo Ordinary Shares, subject to the following contingencies:

        An amount equal to 25% of PubCo Preferred Shares (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the PubCo Preferred Shares), in the aggregate among the Terra Innovatum Quotaholders in accordance with their pro rata portion, if at any time during the five-year period following the Closing (the “First Conversion Period”), (A) the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the PubCo Ordinary Share for any five Trading Days within any 20 Trading Days period (“PubCo Trading Price”) is greater than $12.00, or (B) the submittal and docketing of at least 10 of the planned Pre-Application Topical Reports following the NEI Guidance has occurred, whichever occurs earlier.

        An amount equal to 25% of PubCo Preferred Shares (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the PubCo Preferred Shares), in the aggregate among the Terra Innovatum Quotaholders in accordance with their pro rata portion, if at any time during the First Conversion Period, (A) the PubCo Trading Price is greater than $14.00, or (B) NRC docketing of the SOLO Construction Permit Application, pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50, whichever occurs earlier.

        An amount equal to 25% of PubCo Preferred Shares (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the PubCo Preferred Shares), in the aggregate among the Terra Innovatum Quotaholders in accordance with their pro rata portion, if at any time during the seven-year period following the Closing (the “Second Conversion Period”), and together with the First Conversion Period, the “Conversion Period”, (A) the PubCo Trading Price is greater than $16.00, or (B) acceptance and docketing of SOLO Test Reactor Construction Permit in compliance with the requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 as set forth in 10 CFR, whichever occurs earlier.

        An amount equal to 25% of PubCo Preferred Shares (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the PubCo Preferred Shares), in the aggregate among the Terra Innovatum Quotaholders in accordance with their pro rata portion, if at any time during the Second Conversion Period, (A) the PubCo Trading Price is greater than $18.00, or (B) issuance of an operating license of SOLO Test Reactor pursuant 10 CFR Part 50, whichever occurs earlier.

        If, prior to the end of the applicable Conversion Period, the applicable share price triggers have not been achieved, and PubCo enters into a definitive agreement that would result in a Change of Control transaction, and (A) the price per share of PubCo Ordinary Shares payable to the shareholders of PubCo in such Change of Control transaction (the “Change of Control Offer Price”) is at least $5.00 per share, then as of immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control transaction, (x) the applicable share price triggers that have not been achieved shall be deemed to have been satisfied, and (y) the PubCo Preferred Shares shall convert into PubCo Ordinary Shares at the Preferred/Ordinary Conversion Ratio described above as if such Change of Control Offer Price constituted the applicable share price

124

trigger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement; or (B) the Change of Control Offer Price is less than $5.00 per share but greater than $2.50 per share, then as of immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control transaction, half of the PubCo Preferred Shares that have not yet converted shall convert into PubCo Ordinary Shares at the Preferred/Ordinary Conversion Ratio.

        Any PubCo Preferred Share that is not converted into PubCo Ordinary Shares during the applicable Conversion Period will remain outstanding, provided that any PubCo Preferred Share that is not converted within 20 years of issuance shall be transferred to PubCo and subsequently cancelled by PubCo for no consideration (om niet).

Additional Shares — PAC

Upon the Closing, PAC will receive additional shares in the form of 40 PubCo Preferred Shares and a warrant exercisable for up to 1,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $7.00 per share. These PubCo Preferred Shares will mandatorily convert into PubCo Ordinary Shares, subject to the same contingencies described above within the additional shares for Terra Innovatum Quotaholders.

Additional Shares — Sponsor

Additionally, pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, entered into by and among Terra Innovatum, GSR III and the Sponsor, 549,500 GSR III Class B Ordinary Shares held by Sponsor immediately prior to the Closing, which convert into shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis, will be subject to certain vesting or forfeiture and cancellation conditions subsequent to the Closing as follows:

If at any time during the First Conversion Period, (a) the PubCo Trading Price is greater than $12.00, or (b) the submittal and docketing of 75% (10 of 13) of the planned pre-application topical reports following the NEI Guidance, whichever occurs earlier, then 25% of the Vesting Sponsor Shares automatically and will immediately vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture and cancellation;

If at any time during the First Conversion Period, (a) the PubCo Trading Price is greater than $14.00, or (b) NRC docketing of the SOLO 2 construction permit application, pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50, whichever occurs earlier, then 25% of the Vesting Sponsor Shares shall automatically and will immediately vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture and cancellation;

If at any time during the Second Conversion Period, (a) the PubCo Trading Price is greater than $16.00, or (b) acceptance and docketing of SOLO Test Reactor construction permit in compliance with the requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 as set forth in 10 CFR, whichever occurs earlier, then 25% of the Vesting Sponsor Shares shall automatically and will immediately vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture and cancellation; and

If at any time during the Second Conversion Period, (a) the PubCo Trading Price is greater than $18.00, or (b) issuance of an operating license of SOLO Test Reactor pursuant 10 CFR Part 50, whichever occurs earlier, then 25% of the Vesting Sponsor Shares shall automatically and will immediately vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture and cancellation.

If, (i) prior to the end of the applicable Conversion Period, the applicable share price triggers have not been achieved, (ii) PubCo enters into a definitive agreement that would result in a Change of Control transaction, and (iii) (x) the price per share of PubCo Ordinary Shares payable to the shareholders of PubCo in such Change of Control transaction, the Change of Control Offer Price, is greater than $5.00 per share, then as of immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control transaction, (A) the applicable share price triggers that have not been achieved shall be deemed to have been satisfied, and (B) the Vesting Sponsor Shares which have not vested, shall immediately vest as if such Change of Control Offer Price constituted the applicable share price trigger pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, in full and final satisfaction of Sponsor’s rights to receive the Vesting Sponsor Shares described above; or (y) the Change of Control Offer Price is less $5.00 per share but greater than $2.50 per share, then as of immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control transaction, half of the Vesting Sponsor Shares which have not vested, shall immediately vest, in full and final satisfaction of Sponsor’s rights to receive the Vesting Sponsor Shares pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sponsor Agreement, if PubCo Preferred

125

Table of Contents

Shares are otherwise converted into PubCo Ordinary Shares and distributed to Terra OpCo Quotaholders, a pro rata portion of the Vesting Sponsor Shares shall immediately vest and no longer be subject to the forfeiture conditions provided in this Sponsor Agreement.

If, upon the expiration of the applicable Conversion Period, the vesting of any of Vesting Sponsor Shares has not occurred, then the applicable Vesting Sponsor Shares that failed to vest will be automatically forfeited and transferred to PubCo for no consideration.

The table below presents the exchange of Terra Innovatum quotas for PubCo Ordinary Shares that is expected to occur upon the Conversion:

Bridge Loan Financing

        Subsequent to March 31, 2025, Terra Innovatum issued eleven convertible bridge loans (collectively the “Bridge Loans,” individually, each a “Bridge Loan”) for an aggregate principal balance of $4.9 million, net of the payment of debt issuance costs of $100.0 thousand resulting in a net cash inflow of $4.8 million. The Bridge Loans bear an interest rate of 15.00% per annum. The principal and accrued interest on the Bridge loans are convertible into PubCo Ordinary Shares at the Closing at a conversion price of $7.00 per share.

In connection with the Bridge Loans, Terra Innovatum committed to issuing warrants exercisable for PubCo Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $11.50 per share to certain holders of Bridge Loans. The warrants will be issued upon the Closing and the number of shares underlying the warrants is based on a specified fixed percentages (of 10%, 50%, or 100%) of the shares into which the Bridge Loans convert.

Furthermore, under certain Bridge Loan agreements, if a specified funding threshold (the “Bridge Package”) is met, upon Closing, each applicable lender will receive a warrant to purchase a fixed number of PubCo Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $15.00 per share.

Additionally, under certain Bridge Loan agreements, warrants with an exercise price of $11.50 per share will be issued upon Closing and the number of shares underlying these warrants will be equal to 100% of the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares into which the applicable Bridge Loan will convert into at Closing if the Bridge Package is met. If the Bridge Package is not met, Terra Innovatum will issue warrants exercisable for 10% of the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares into which the applicable Bridge Loan will convert into at Closing.

Other Material Events

        Total actual and expected dividends on investments held in the Trust Account subsequent to March 31, 2025 through the estimated Closing Date of September 30, 2025 are estimated to be $4.8 million.

        Effective June 6, 2025, Terra Innovatum determined that the specified funding threshold of the Bridge Package had been met and all of the warrants related to the Bridge Loans containing the Bridge Package provision would be issued at Closing.

        Terra Innovatum estimates it will incur interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discounts on the Bridge Loans held at amortized cost in the amount of approximately $264.9 thousand and $136.3 thousand, respectively from issuance date through the estimated Closing Date.

Additional Information Related to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on GSR III’s and Terra Innovatum’s historical financial statements as adjusted to give effect to the Closing, the Bridge Loan Financing, and the Other Material Events. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 gives pro forma effect to the Closing as if it had occurred on March 31, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 reflects adjustments assuming that any adjustments that were made to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 are assumed to have been made on January 1, 2024 for the purpose of adjusting the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 reflects adjustments assuming that any adjustments that were made to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 are assumed to have been made on January 1, 2024 for the purpose of adjusting the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations.

Redemption Scenarios

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents two redemption scenarios as follows:

        No Redemption Scenario:    This scenario assumes that no holders of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption exercise their right to have their GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed for their pro rata share of the Trust Account.

       Maximum Redemption Scenario:    This scenario assumes that 19,580,736 GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares are redeemed, resulting in an aggregate cash payment of approximately $203.2 million out of the Trust Account based on an assumed redemption price of $10.38 per share based on an aggregate amount of the funds held in the Trust Account of approximately $238.6 million.1 The Business Combination Agreement includes as conditions to the Closing that, at the Closing, GSR III will have (A) at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act), and (B) will meet the $25.0 million GSR III Available Cash condition as defined in the Business Combination Agreement. The Maximum Redemption Scenario reflects the redemption of the maximum number of GSR III Class A Ordinary

____________

1        Amount equal to: (i) $233.8 million balance of cash and investments held in Trust Account on GSR III’s historical balance sheet as of March 31, 2025, plus (ii) $4.8 million actual and expected dividends on investments held in the Trust Account subsequent to March 31, 2025 through the estimated Closing Date of September 30, 2025.

Shares subject to possible redemption that can be redeemed while allowing both the minimum net tangible assets and GSR III Available Cash conditions to be met. The Maximum Redemption Scenario includes all adjustments contained in the No Redemption Scenario and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of the Maximum Redemption Scenario.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Closing, the Bridge Loan Financing, and the Other Material Events taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of PubCo. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on information currently available, and assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, the amounts and shares outstanding in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information that follows will be different, and those changes could be material.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1.      Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X, as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses. Release No. 33-10786 replaces the historical pro forma adjustments criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and presents the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). GSR III and Terra Innovatum management have elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The adjustments presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding of PubCo at the Closing, the Bridge Loan Financing, and the Other Material Events. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Closing. GSR III and Terra Innovatum have not had any historical relationship prior to the Closing. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the Closing, the Bridge Loan Financing, and the Other Material Events are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that both GSR III and Terra Innovatum believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible the differences may be material. Both GSR III and Terra Innovatum believe that the assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all the significant effects of the Closing, the Bridge Loan Financing, and the Other Material Events based on information available to management at this time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The foregoing scenarios (the No Redemption Scenario and the Maximum Redemption Scenario) are for illustrative purposes as GSR III does not have, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, a meaningful way of providing any certainty regarding the number of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares that Pre-Closing GSR III Holders will redeem in connection with the Closing.

Included in the shares outstanding and weighted average shares outstanding (for the calculation of pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share) as presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are PubCo Ordinary Shares to be issued to legacy Terra Innovatum Quotaholders and the GSR III Ordinary Shares that are expected to remain outstanding under the No Redemption Scenario and the Maximum Redemption Scenario on the estimated Closing Date and that will represent PubCo Ordinary Shares (as adjusted, where applicable, for the Maximum Redemption Scenario), which includes GSR III Ordinary Shares held by public shareholders, GSR III Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor and related parties of the Sponsor, and the shares to be issued to holders of GSR III Rights upon the automatic exercise of the outstanding GSR III Rights upon consummation of the Closing.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, former quotaholders of Terra Innovatum will receive an aggregate of 47,500,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares, each share having one vote. The former quotaholders of Terra Innovatum will have approximately 58.7% of the total voting rights in PubCo in the No Redemption Scenario and 77.4% of the total voting rights in PubCo in the Maximum Redemption Scenario (see tables directly below). The table directly below presents shares outstanding and the pro forma voting rights upon the estimated Closing Date as depicted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. This table excludes PubCo Preferred Shares issued to legacy Terra Innovatum Quotaholders and PAC in the amount of 8,000 and 40, respectively. Additionally,

____________

(1)      Consists of PubCo Ordinary Shares issued to legacy Terra Innovatum Quotaholders upon the effective time of the Closing, which, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement is equal to the (a) Common Conversion Ratio of 475,000, multiplied by (b) 100 quotas, for a total number of PubCo Ordinary Shares issued to legacy Terra Innovatum Quotaholders of 47,500,000 in both the No Redemption Scenario and Maximum Redemption Scenario respectively.

(2)      Consists of, in the No Redemption Scenario, (i) 23,000,000 GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption which GSR III public shareholders elected not to redeem in connection with the Business Combination and (ii) 3,285,714 GSR III Public Rights, each of which will convert, on a one-for-one basis, into GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Closing. These GSR III Ordinary Shares will convert on a one-for-one basis into PubCo Ordinary Shares upon the Closing of the Closing.

(3)      Consists of, in the Maximum Redemption Scenario, (i) 3,419,264 GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption. This scenario assumes that 19,580,736 GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares are redeemed. The Maximum Redemption Scenario reflects the redemption of the maximum number of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption that can be redeemed while allowing both the minimum net tangible assets and GSR III Available Cash conditions pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement to be met. (ii) 3,285,714 GSR III Public Rights, each of which will convert, on a one-for-one basis, into GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Closing. These GSR III Ordinary Shares will convert on a one-for-one basis into PubCo Ordinary Shares upon the Closing.

(4)      Consists of 6,232,857 GSR III Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing which will convert on a one-for-one basis into PubCo Ordinary Shares upon the Closing. The 6,232,857 GSR III Ordinary Shares consists of (i) 5,495,000 GSR III Class B Ordinary Shares held by Sponsor which represents 5,495,000 issued and outstanding GSR III Class B Ordinary Shares held by Sponsor at the Closing, including 549,500 Vesting Sponsor Shares, subject to the vesting conditions pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement as the Sponsor will retain voting power with respect to the Vesting Sponsor Shares, (ii) 384,428 and 38,072 GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares held by Sponsor and related parties of Sponsor, respectively, (iii) 255,000 issued and outstanding GSR III Class B Ordinary Shares held by related parties of Sponsor, (iv) 54,918 and 5,439 Private Placement Rights held by Sponsor and related parties of Sponsor, respectively, which will convert on a one-for-one-basis into GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Closing.

(5)      Consists of (i) 223,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares issued to PAC as a success fee upon the Closing of the Business Combination and (ii) 734,004 PubCo Ordinary Shares issued from conversion of the Bridge Loans upon the Closing of the Business Combination.

2.      Accounting Treatment for the Transaction

In connection with the Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring, each issued and outstanding quota of New TopCo will be converted into PubCo Ordinary Shares at the Common Conversion Ratio. Subsequent to the Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring, GSR III will merge into Terra MergerCo with GSR III surviving and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo. As a result of the merger, GSR III’s issued and outstanding shares will be converted into PubCo Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis. PubCo’s acquisition of GSR III will be accounted for as a recapitalization by/via an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-50, as GSR III does not meet the ASC 805 definition of a business.

134

Table of Contents

The consideration transferred to the GSR III shareholders to effect the asset acquisition consists of PubCo Ordinary Shares and contingently issuable PubCo Ordinary Shares. As GSR III is comprised primarily of monetary assets (Cash and Investments held in Trust Account), the fair value of the aforementioned consideration transferred is deemed equivalent to GSR III’s net assets. As the consideration transferred is deemed equivalent to the net assets acquired, the net assets of GSR III will be stated at their carrying values, which are deemed to be stated at their respective fair values, and no goodwill (or gain or loss) will be recognized.

The conversion of New TopCo’s issued and outstanding quotas into PubCo Ordinary Shares, which will be effected in connection with the aforementioned asset acquisition (a recapitalization by/via asset acquisition), will be accounted for as a recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. GSR III will be treated as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes and PubCo will be treated as the legal and accounting acquirer.

PubCo, which is controlled by legacy Terra Innovatum Quotaholders, has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on the following:

        Under all redemption scenarios, legacy Terra Innovatum Quotaholders will have a majority of the voting interest in PubCo, with between 58.7% and 77.4% of the voting power held by legacy Terra Innovatum Quotaholders depending on the redemption scenario.

        All of the senior management of PubCo will come from the senior management of Terra Innovatum.

        Terra Innovatum will appoint a majority of the directors to the board of directors of PubCo.

        The intended strategy of PubCo will be to continue to focus on Terra Innovatum’s core service offerings.

3.      Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2025

The pro forma notes and adjustments, based on preliminary estimates that could change materially as additional information is obtained, are as follows:

Pro Forma Adjustments for Bridge Loan Financing:

(aaa) Subsequent to March 31, 2025, Terra Innovatum issued eleven convertible Bridge Loans for gross cash proceeds of $4.9 million, net of $100.0 thousand in debt issuance costs, resulting in a net cash inflow of $4.8 million.

Additionally, in connection with the Bridge Loans, Terra Innovatum committed to issue warrants following the consummation of the Business Combination:

These warrants are considered outstanding for financial reporting purposes and are classified as equity or liabilities depending on their terms.

        Equity-Classified Warrants: Warrants exercisable at $11.50 or $15.00 per share will be issued upon Closing to certain lenders and qualify for equity classification under ASC 815-40. $1.0 million of the proceeds was allocated to these warrants, which are exercisable for 583,886 PubCo Ordinary Shares, resulting in a $1.0 million increase to additional paid-in capital on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2025.

        Liability-Classified Warrants: Warrants, with certain terms dependent on whether a specified funding threshold (the “Bridge Package”) is met, were classified as a liability as they did not meet the indexation guidance under ASC 815-40. $1.5 million of the proceeds were allocated to these warrants, exercisable for 376,908 PubCo Ordinary Shares, resulting in a $1.5 million increase to warrant liability on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2025.

The liability-classified warrants were recorded at fair value, and the remaining proceeds were allocated between the Bridge Notes the equity-classified warrants on the basis of their relative fair values. The fair values were determined using a Black-Scholes-Merton model with assumptions including a $10.00 share price, 3.9%–4.1% risk-free rate, 106%–109% volatility, and a 13.2%–15.1% discount for lack of marketability. As a result, a $2.6 million debt discount was recognized, reducing the carrying value of the Bridge Loans to $2.3 million recognized in convertible bridge loans on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2025.

135

Table of Contents

Lastly, an aggregate of $100.0 thousand in debt issuance costs were allocated proportionally: $58.2 thousand to the Bridge Loans (recorded as a reduction to convertible bridge loans and amortized over the life of the Bridge Loans), $27.4 thousand to equity-classified warrants (recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital), and $14.4 thousand to liability-classified warrants (expensed immediately in-line with ASC 825-10).

Pro Forma Adjustments for Other Material Events:

(aa)   To reflect actual and expected dividends on investments held in the Trust Account from April 1, 2025 through the estimated Closing Date of September 30, 2025.

(bb)  Effective June 6, 2025, Terra Innovatum determined that the Bridge Package funding threshold had been met. As a result, warrants exercisable for 789,613 PubCo Ordinary Shares will be issued at Closing in connection with the Bridge Loans subject to the Bridge Package provision.

In accordance with ASC 815-40-35-8, the liability-classified warrants were re-evaluated and reclassified to equity as of June 6, 2025. This final remeasurement of the liability resulted in a $460.0 thousand fair value adjustment, recognized in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The fair value was determined using a Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following assumptions: (i) share price of $10.00, (ii) risk-free rate of 4.0%, (iii) volatility of 108%, and (iv) 13.0% discount for lack of marketability.

(cc)   To reflect estimated interest incurred and amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discounts (see adjustment 3(aaa)) from issuance date through the estimated Closing Date.

Pro Forma Other Transaction Accounting Adjustments:

(a)     To reflect, in the No Redemption Scenario, the release of the cash and investments held in the Trust Account to cash and cash equivalents, assuming no GSR III public shareholders exercise their right to have their GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed for their pro rata share of the Trust Account. The amount of investments held in the Trust Account released to cash is equal to the historical balance of the Trust Account as of March 31, 2025 in the amount of $233.8 million, plus $4.8 million actual and expected dividend income on the Trust Account subsequent to March 31, 2025 through the estimated Closing Date (see Note 3(aa)).

(b)    To reflect the recognition of (i) the issuance of PubCo Preferred Shares to PAC upon the Closing and (ii) the associated conversion feature which will be automatically triggered if contingent milestones are met subsequent to the Closing. Refer to the Introduction section above for description of the various milestones.

The PubCo Preferred Shares will be forfeited by the holder if they are not converted within 20 years from the issuance date, the Closing. As the PubCo Preferred Shares may be forfeited, management has concluded that they should be evaluated, accounted for, and classified, as a freestanding equity-linked instrument, rather than as outstanding shares.

Management has concluded that the change of control provision and the permit-driven performance target milestones described in the Introduction section above cause the freestanding equity-linked instrument to not be considered indexed to PubCo’s own stock as these represent potential settlement adjustments that are not permissible within the guidance of ASC 815. Therefore, the freestanding equity-linked instrument has been recorded as a liability at its estimated fair value, with the offsetting amount recorded to additional paid-in capital. The value of the Share-settled contingent liability was calculated using a probability weighted-average analysis of the achievement of each of the milestones and a Monte Carlo simulation model. The simulation incorporated (i) an underlying share price of $10.00 per share, (ii) a 4.1% risk free rate, and (iii) an estimated volatility of 125% based on historical data of comparable public companies.

136

Table of Contents

(c)     To reflect the issuance of 223,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares to PAC upon the Closing for banking advisory services provided to Terra Innovatum. The issuance of the shares was accounted for in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A (“SAB Topic 5A”) as a specific incremental cost associated with the equity offering, with the grant date fair value recorded as a decrease to additional paid-in capital with a corresponding increase to par value.

(d)    To reflect the settlement of GSR III’s deferred underwriting fee payable upon the Closing from Cash and cash equivalents.

(e)     To reflect the payment of estimated total transaction costs of $2.1 million related to GSR III, including:

(i)     $758.5 thousand incurred prior to March 31, 2025 and recorded as accounts payable in GSR III’s historical financial statements;

(ii)    $1.4 million of estimated transaction costs to be incurred after March 31, 2025, which are not specific incremental costs directly attributable to the offering.

In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5.A and ASC 340-10-S99-1, management evaluated the nature of all transaction-related costs. Based on this evaluation:

        Approximately $758.5 thousand of costs incurred prior to March 31, 2025 were recorded in GSR III’s historical financial statements as accounts payable and expensed as incurred, as they were not directly attributable to the offering. These costs included legal services related to the negotiation and structuring of the business combination agreement. None of these services were directly attributable to the offering.

        Approximately $1.4 million to be incurred after March 31, 2025 were expensed as incurred and recorded as an addition to accumulated deficit in the pro forma balance sheet. These costs primarily include legal services related to the negotiation and structuring of the business combination agreement and accounting and audit services for historical financial statements. None of these services were specific incremental costs directly attributable to the offering.

(f)     To reflect the payment of estimated total transaction costs of $6.9 million related to Terra Innovatum, including:

(i)     $1.1 million incurred prior to March 31, 2025 and recorded as accounts payable in Terra Innovatum’s historical financial statements;

(ii)    $1.1 million of estimated advisory and legal fees to be incurred after March 31, 2025 that are specific incremental costs directly attributable to the offering; and

(iii)   $4.7 million of estimated transaction costs to be incurred after March 31, 2025 that are not specific incremental costs directly attributable to the offering.

In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5.A and ASC 340-10-S99-1, management evaluated the nature of all transaction-related costs. Based on this evaluation:

        Approximately $1.1 million of costs incurred prior to March 31, 2025 were recorded in Terra Innovatum’s historical financial statements as accounts payable and expensed as incurred, as they were not directly attributable to the offering. These costs included legal and advisory services related to the negotiation and structuring of the business combination agreement, legal and tax structuring services, accounting and audit services for historical financial statements, and marketing and communications activities. None of these services were specific incremental costs directly attributable to the offering.

        Approximately $1.1 million of transaction costs to be incurred after March 31, 2025 were accounted for as specific incremental costs directly attributable to the offering and recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the pro forma balance sheet. These costs include legal services directly supporting the preparation and filing of the registration statement and advisory services for the preparation of the pro forma financial information. These services were specific incremental costs directly attributable to the offering.

137

Table of Contents

        Approximately $4.7 million of costs to be incurred after March 31, 2025 were expensed as incurred and recorded as an addition to accumulated deficit in the pro forma balance sheet. These costs include strategic advisory fees, including the $2.5 million cash success fee to PAC, legal and tax structuring services, accounting and audit services for historical financial statements, and marketing and investor relations costs. None of these services were specific incremental costs directly attributable to the offering.

(g)    To reflect, in the No Redemption Scenario, the recapitalization of PubCo through the conversion of 100 New TopCo quotas into 47,500,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares, reflecting the Common Conversion Ratio of 475,000, and to reflect to derecognition of the accumulated deficit of GSR III which is reversed to additional paid-in-capital.

(h)    To reflect the change in redemption value of the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption due to the actual and expected income on investments from the Trust Account from April 1, 2025 through the estimated Closing Date (see Note 3(aa)). Changes in the redemption value of stock classified as temporary equity may be recognized immediately as they occur by adjusting the carrying amount of the stock in accordance with ASC 480.

(i)      To reflect the issuance of a warrant, classified within permanent equity, to PAC as a success fee upon the Closing. The warrant provides PAC the right to acquire up to 1,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $7.00 per share, with an exercise period of 5.0 years. The issuance of the warrant was accounted for in accordance with SAB Topic 5A as a specific incremental cost associated with the equity offering, with the grant date fair value recorded as a decrease to additional paid-in capital with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital. This resulted in a $0 impact to additional paid-in capital.

The warrant was recorded at its estimated fair value on the Closing Date, determined using the Black Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The assumptions used in deriving the grant date fair value of the warrant were as follows: (i) an underlying share price of $10.00 per share. Under U.S GAAP, fair value measurements should reflect the price at which an asset or liability could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The $10.00 per share underlying is the initial public offering price of GSR III, which would reflect the market participant price of an exchange of the equivalent GSR III Ordinary shares, which would convert on a one-for-one basis to PubCo Ordinary Shares upon the Closing. (ii) An exercise price of $7.00 per share, (iii) a risk-free interest rate of 4.38%, corresponding to the U.S Treasury rate for a period equal to the expected term of the warrant, (iv) an expected term of 5.0 years, as the warrant can be exercised through a 5.0 year period from the Closing, (v) a volatility of 98.2%. PubCo lacks its own historical stock data. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock volatility based primarily on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies. (vi) A dividend yield of 0%; PubCo does not plan to pay cash dividends on its PubCo

138

Table of Contents

Ordinary Shares in the foreseeable future, and, therefore, uses an expected dividend yield of zero in its valuation model. These assumptions resulted in a grant date fair value of a call option (as a warrant is akin to a written call option) of approximately $8.00 per share.

(j)     To reflect the issuance of 3,346,071 shares of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares upon the automatic exercise immediately prior to the Closing of the GSR III Rights to acquire one GSR III Class A Ordinary Share. The issuance of the shares resulted in a $0 adjustment within the GSR III Class A Ordinary Share, par value $0.0001 and Additional paid-in capital line items, respectively, due to the effect of rounding as the adjustment to record the shares at par value and associated adjustment to Additional paid-in capital were less than $1 thousand, respectively.

(k)    To reflect the payment on the estimated Closing Date of the $300.0 thousand premium for a directors’ and officers’ tail insurance policy. This adjustment increases accumulated deficit because the premium is related to activity prior to the Closing.

(l)     To reflect the expected payment on the estimated Closing Date of a $300.0 thousand premium for a prepaid directors’ and officers’ insurance policy for PubCo. These costs will be finalized and adjusted in a subsequent filing.

(m)   To reflect that immediately prior to the Closing, 549,500 GSR III Class B Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor become subject to certain vesting or forfeiture conditions. The vesting will be triggered contingent upon various milestones being met subsequent to the Closing. Refer to the Introduction section above for a description of the various milestones.

The shares that will be subject to the vesting are contingently forfeitable based on the non-achievement of the milestones and will be forfeited by the Sponsor if the milestones are not met within the Conversion Period, as discussed further in the Introduction section above. As the shares may be forfeited, management has concluded that they should be evaluated, accounted for, and classified, as a freestanding equity linked instrument, rather than as outstanding shares.

Management has concluded that the change of control provision and the permit-driven performance target milestones described in the Introduction section above cause the freestanding equity-linked instrument to not be considered indexed to PubCo’s own stock as these represent potential settlement adjustments that are not permissible within the guidance of ASC 815. Therefore, the freestanding equity-linked instrument has been recorded as a liability at its estimated fair value. The value of the Share-settled contingent liability was calculated using a probability weighted-average analysis of the achievement of each of the milestones and a Monte Carlo simulation model. The simulation incorporated (i) an underlying share price of $10.00 per share, (ii) a 4.1% risk free rate, and (iii) an estimated volatility of 125% based on historical data of comparable public companies.

(n)    To reflect the recognition of (i) the issuance of PubCo Preferred Shares to the Terra Innovatum Quotaholders upon the Closing and (ii) the associated conversion feature which will be automatically triggered if contingent milestones are met subsequent to the Closing. Refer to the Introduction section above for description of the various milestones.

The PubCo Preferred Shares will be forfeited by the holder if they are not converted within 20 years from the issuance date, the Closing. hares may be forfeited, management has concluded that they should be evaluated, accounted for, and classified, as a freestanding equity-linked instrument, rather than as outstanding shares.

Management has concluded that the change of control provision and the permit-driven performance target milestones described in the Introduction section above cause the freestanding equity-linked instrument to not be considered indexed to PubCo’s own stock as these represent potential settlement adjustments that are not permissible within the guidance of ASC 815. Therefore, the freestanding equity-linked instrument has been recorded as a liability at its estimated fair value. The value of the Share-settled contingent liability was calculated using a probability weighted-average analysis of the

achievement of each of the milestones and a Monte Carlo simulation model. The simulation incorporated (i) an underlying share price of $10.00 per share, (ii) a 4.1% risk free rate, and (iii) an estimated volatility of 125% based on historical data of comparable public companies.

As the $799.0 million fair value of the resulting Share-settled contingent liability exceeded the pro forma balance of Additional paid-in-capital, the excess of the fair value over the pro forma balance of Additional paid-in-capital was recorded as an increase to Accumulated deficit of $576.4 million.

(o)    To reflect the issuance of 734,004 PubCo Ordinary Shares upon the conversion of the aggregate principal and accrued interest on the eleven Bridge Loans at Closing, at a conversion price of $7.00 per share.

The Bridge Loans had an aggregate principal balance of $4.9 million, with associated debt discounts of $2.6 million and debt issuance costs of $58.2 thousand (see adjustment 3(aaa)). During the period from issuance through the Closing, $136.3 thousand of the debt discount and issuance costs were amortized, and $264.9 thousand of interest expense was incurred. As a result, a net total of $2.7 million of convertible bridge loans was derecognized from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 with a corresponding increase to PubCo Ordinary Shares of $7.9 thousand to reflect the par value of the shares issued and the remaining $2.6 million to additional paid-in capital in accordance with ASC 470-20-40-4.

(p)     To reflect the conversion of all 422,500 GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares not subject to possible redemption issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing into PubCo Ordinary Shares, and to reflect the conversion of 5,200,500 GSR III Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing into PubCo Ordinary Shares (5,750,000 issued and outstanding GSR III Class B Ordinary Shares less the 549,500 GSR III Class B Ordinary Shares subject to certain vesting or forfeiture conditions) (see Note 3(m)). Additionally, to reflect the conversion of 3,346,071 GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing resulting from the automatic exercise immediately prior to the Closing of the GSR III Rights (see Note 3(j)). The conversion of the shares resulted in a $96.1 thousand reduction to additional paid-in capital, which represents the excess par value of PubCo Ordinary Shares over the par value of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares and GSR III Class B Ordinary Shares, respectively.

(q)    To reflect, in the No Redemption Scenario, the conversion of all 23,000,000 issued and outstanding GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption immediately prior to the Closing into PubCo Ordinary Shares with no cash redemptions.

This scenario has been structured to satisfy both the GSR III Available Cash requirement and the $5,000,001 minimum net tangible asset requirement set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. The $5,000,001 minimum net tangible asset requirement set forth in section 9.1(f) of the Business Combination Agreement applies to GSR III’s net tangible assets immediately prior to the Closing.

The GSR III Available Cash requirement set forth in section 9.1(e) of the Business Combination Agreement requires that GSR III have at least $25.0 million in available cash at Closing.

The table below presents the calculation demonstrating that the GSR III net tangible asset requirement

____________

(1)      Total actual and expected dividends on investments held in the Trust Account subsequent to March 31, 2025 through the estimated Closing Date are estimated to be $4.8 million.

(r)     To reflect the recognition of stock-based compensation upon the satisfaction of a performance condition (the Closing of the Business Combination) associated with the transfer of certain GSR III Class B Ordinary Shares.

In November 2024, the Sponsor transferred a total of 30,000 GSR III Class B Ordinary Shares to three independent directors (10,000 each) at a purchase price of $0.00438 per share. Additionally, in December 2024, the Sponsor transferred 225,000 GSR III Class B Ordinary Shares to a member of the management team, also at a purchase price of $0.00438 per share. Although the shares were legally transferred in 2024, the awards were subject to a performance condition (the Closing of the Business Combination). As such, in accordance with ASC 718, stock-based compensation was not recognized until the Closing, when the performance condition was satisfied.

The grant date fair value of the shares was determined to be $0.00438 per share, equal to the amount paid by the recipients. As a result, the total stock-based compensation expense recognized was $0, as the fair value of the awards was fully offset by the amount initially received for the purchase of the shares.

(s)     To reflect, in the Maximum Redemption Scenario, the reversal of the excess of the fair value of the Share-settled contingent liability over the pro forma balance of Additional paid-in-capital in the No Redemption Scenario and to reflect the excess of the fair value of the Share-settled contingent liability over the pro forma balance of Additional paid-in-capital in the Maximum Redemption Scenario. The pro forma balance of Additional paid-in-capital differs in the two scenarios given that, in the Maximum Redemption Scenario, it is assumed that 19,580,736 GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares are redeemed for cash.

(t)     To reflect, in the Maximum Redemption Scenario, the assumption that GSR III public stockholders elect to redeem 19,580,736 GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares at a redemption price of $10.38 per share, resulting in an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $203.2 million in cash.

This scenario has been structured to satisfy both the GSR III Available Cash requirement and the $5,000,001 minimum net tangible asset requirement set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. The $5,000,001 minimum net tangible asset requirement set forth in section 9.1(f) of the Business Combination Agreement applies to GSR III’s net tangible assets immediately prior to the Closing. The GSR III Available Cash requirement set forth in section 9.1(e) of the Business Combination Agreement requires that GSR III have at least $25.0 million in available cash at Closing.

BUSINESS OF TERRA INNOVATUM AND CERTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT TERRA INNOVATUM

Overview of the Business

Our Mission

Terra Innovatum’s mission is to make nuclear power accessible by delivering simple and safe micro-reactor solutions that are scalable, affordable and deployable anywhere, 1MWe at a time. Since our project commenced in 2018, we have invested significantly in development efforts and completing our SOLO micro modular reactor design in October 2024.

Overview

Terra Innovatum was incorporated under the laws of Italy on September 23, 2021 (“Inception”) and is headquartered in Lucca, Italy. Before Terra Innovatum’s incorporation, from 2018 to 2021 a team of engineers, who are now part of Terra Innovatum, contributed their time, effort and resources to advance the SOLO concept to design, demonstrating the feasibility and the innovation aspects.

Terra Innovatum is a nuclear reactor developer, focused on smaller, cheaper, and safer advanced clean energy solutions. Terra Innovatum’s flagship product, the SOLO Micro-Modular Nuclear Reactor (SOLO), is designed to operate continuously at full power for 15 years without refueling, with the potential for core swaps to extend the operational cycle up to 45 years. Its modular design aims to achieve maximum energy efficiency while significantly reducing the levelized cost of energy (“LCOE”). Terra Innovatum is committed to delivering carbon-free energy solutions and aims to achieve commercial deployment of SOLO by 2028 to address the growing global demand for sustainable and reliable energy.

Terra Innovatum believes the following characteristics make SOLO unique and position the company well for successful regulatory approval:

        The SOLO reactor uses Low Enriched Uranium (“LEU”) fuel which is commercially available and for which a well-established supply chain exists today.

        SOLO cannot experience meltdown or explosion due to the use of a helium coolant instead of water and low thermal output

        Emergency Planning Zone (“EPZ”) limited to “Operations Boundary”

        Proliferant resistant due to safeguards implemented by design

        Long lasting: each SOLO reactor can operate for 15 years without refueling with a total potential lifespan of 45 years; when High Assay Low Enriched Uranium (“HALEU”) becomes available, SOLO reactors could operate for up to 45 years without refueling.

        Modularity by design: from 1MWe with 1 SOLO to 1GWe with approximately 1000 SOLOs

        Redundancy by design: on a fleet of 100 SOLOs (100Mwe), 1 reactor under maintenance leaves 99% of the power generation available.

        Can be produced in factories and assembled on site

Terra Innovatum’s primary business model is centered on the direct sale of SOLO reactors to customers seeking reliable and sustainable energy solutions, such as industrial operations, manufacturing facilities, remote locations, healthcare facilities, and data centers, among many others. We will manufacture these units by contracting with existing nuclear component suppliers, with final assembly completed in established facilities in the U.S, Europe and Asia before transporting to customer sites. Each SOLO reactor is designed to be easily transported via standard highways and installed using pre-fabricated components, dramatically reducing deployment time and costs compared to conventional nuclear facilities. In addition to reactor sales, we intend to offer service packages and periodic maintenance services throughout each unit’s operational lifetime.

147

Table of Contents

Innovation is central to our mission. Our breakthrough ability to reach criticality using LEU fuel should enable regulatory approval compared to competitors using HALEU, which is not readily available for commercial use and does not have an established supply chain network. The SOLO reactor incorporates four redundant shutdown mechanisms and is encased in a 2.5 meter thick concrete housing (known as the “monolith”) providing biological shielding; hence, no EPZ is required. This design should allow the deployment of SOLO in highly populated areas and sensitive locations where conventional nuclear plants and other Small Modular Reactors (“SMRs”) cannot be deployed, notably due to their larger footprints and associated EPZ.

The SOLO reactor is designed to deliver a highly competitive and stable LCOE of 7 cents per kWh over a 45-year period, with potential for further reduction when waste heat is utilized for industrial or commercial applications, a process known as “cogeneration”. Our regulatory engagement plan was submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in early 2025, and we believe we will achieve our First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) reactor by 2028.

Our target customer base spans a number diverse sectors — including industrial operations, manufacturing facilities, remote locations, healthcare facilities, and data centers, among many others. SOLO is designed to allow customers to purchase nuclear power generating capacity that can be deployed virtually anywhere it’s needed, providing point-of-use power and heat without reliance on transmission infrastructure. Focusing on using commercially proven materials and existing supply chains in the nuclear field, we are positioned to deliver reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy solutions to customers worldwide through our reactor sales and associated services.

Expected Timeline and Costs for Commercial Deployment

The following summarizes our estimated key dates in our timeline for commercial deployment:

148

Table of Contents

In order to complete our first reactor, we estimate our total capital needs will be between $65-75 million from now through 2028. Our anticipated timing for capital needs is as follows:

Industry Overview

The nuclear energy industry is experiencing renewed interest as countries worldwide seek reliable, carbon-free energy solutions to address climate change concerns while meeting growing energy demands. SMRs and microreactors, like our SOLO technology, represent a new generation of nuclear solutions designed to overcome traditional barriers to nuclear deployment.

The successful execution of our business model depends on favorable regulatory environments, public acceptance of nuclear power, and continued policy support for advanced nuclear technologies. Recently, in the United States and globally, governments have demonstrated increased support for next-generation nuclear technologies through initiatives such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s improved frameworks for reviewing innovative designs and the Department of Energy’s programs supporting advanced reactor development. However, the regulatory and political landscape could shift at any time due to factors beyond our control, including changes in administrations, public perception shifts following nuclear-related incidents, or evolving energy priorities.

According the Department of Energy’s Advanced Nuclear Liftoff Report, nuclear capacity has the potential to triple from 2024 to 2050. Several factors have contributed to the renewed interest in nuclear energy. First, there is a strong desire to move from fossil fuels to carbon-free power sources. While wind and solar power continue to gain in popularity, they remain not dispatchable (i.e. cannot be adjusted on demand by the operator to match supply with electricity demand). Moreover, they have much larger space demands than would a modular nuclear reactor.

Microreactor deployment faces unique challenges and opportunities compared to traditional nuclear plants and larger SMRs. While our SOLO reactor’s inherent safety features, small footprint, and absence of an EPZ requirement position us favorably for widespread adoption, we must navigate complex regulatory pathways that are still evolving for this new class of nuclear technology. Our ability to use commercially available LEU fuel provides a significant advantage over competitors requiring HALEU. As SOLO can use both fuel types, it can be deployed at scale with existing licensed LEU fuel while being ready to use HALEU when it will be commercially available.

Market adoption of microreactor technologies like SOLO will depend on our ability to demonstrate safety, reliability, and economic competitiveness against both traditional energy sources and other emerging technologies. The current market shift toward distributed energy resources and increasing demand for reliable, carbon-free power in applications ranging from data centers to remote industrial operations presents significant opportunities for our

149

Table of Contents

technology. However, public perception about nuclear energy, local community reaction to the installation of nuclear reactors, delays in regulatory approvals, or changes in energy economics could impact the pace of adoption and our overall business performance.

As we work toward commercializing our SOLO reactor, our performance will depend in part on factors affecting the broader nuclear industry and energy markets, which remain subject to technological, regulatory, and political influences that are difficult to predict over the long term.

Our markets

SOLO will provide transformative micro modular nuclear reactor solutions for industries requiring reliable, scalable, and carbon-free energy. The SOLO platform delivers electricity and/or heat (e.g. by means of high-temperature steam) to markets where conventional infrastructure is constrained, costly, or environmentally unsustainable. We believe that the SOLO solution can address six critical industry sectors through standardized, modular deployment, including: Industrial Applications, Logistics and Transportation, Data Centers, Energy Storage, Civil and Commercial Facilities and Underserved Communities.

We work with nuclear component suppliers, engineering firms, and construction partners to deliver complete SOLO reactor systems. By focusing on commercially available components and simplified design, we can address these diverse sectors with a standardized product that can be deployed virtually anywhere energy is needed.

One key element of SOLO is its modularity. The SOLO provides highly reliable energy production upon installation of the first module, allowing customers to scale as needed in a cost-effective manner without sacrificing its energy needs. As the reactor is EPZ free, we can satisfy any demand ranging from MW to GW replicating the reactor as many times is needed to cover the customer needs.

Industrial Applications

The SOLO reactor is designed to serve a wide range of industrial customers requiring both electricity and process heat. Our 1MWe power generation capability combined with 3MW of 70°C heat or 4.5MW of 430°C steam addresses critical energy needs across industries including cement production, food processing, paper mills, chemical plants, pharmaceutical facilities, ceramic industries, glass industries, and mining operations.

We believe that our reactors will provide industrial customers with stable energy costs, reduced carbon emissions, and enhanced reliability, particularly in remote locations or regions with expensive grid electricity.

The ability to provide high-temperature steam enables SOLO to support industrial processes that traditionally rely on fossil fuel boilers, offering significant decarbonization opportunities. This energy source is specifically relevant for sugar refiners, breweries and distilleries (other than food processing industries).

Logistics and Transportation

The logistics sector requires consistent power for frozen storage facilities, automated distribution centers, shipping ports, and Electric Vehicle (“EV”) charging infrastructure, among a number of other applications. SOLO reactors provide the reliable electricity needed for these operations while offering waste heat utilization for facility climate control or specific process applications.

By eliminating dependency on diesel generators or unreliable grid connections, our technology can enable more sustainable and cost-effective logistics operations.

Data Centers

The rapidly growing data center market faces significant challenges including power availability constraints, land use restrictions, and grid capacity limitations. SOLO reactors address these challenges through their compact 10m2 footprint, which dramatically reduces land requirements compared to conventional power generation facilities and helps avoid the increasing land use conflicts seen in specific densely populated areas in the United States and Europe where data center development has faced restrictions due to competing community needs.

Our behind-the-meter, off-grid capability can reduce reliance on strained electrical infrastructure, allowing data centers to bypass the typical long waiting period for grid power access experienced in the United States and Europe.

150

Table of Contents

The SOLO reactor’s modular approach may enable data center operators to deploy power capacity incrementally at 1MWe per module, aligning energy supply with facility construction phases and commercial ramp-up rather than waiting for full commissioning of large-scale power plants.

This scalability supports both colocation and hyperscale facilities with the ability to deploy multiple units to meet capacity requirements up to 1GW. Our approach offers superior reliability and redundancy compared to traditional grid connections while simultaneously eliminating carbon emissions.

The waste heat from SOLO reactors can be utilized for building heating or sold to district heating systems, further enhancing efficiency and creating additional revenue streams.

Energy Storage

Our SOLO micro nuclear reactor platform is ideally suited to enable advanced energy storage.

By providing reliable, carbon-free electricity, SOLO can support the production of pink hydrogen through electrolysis.

In ammonia and fertilizer plants, SOLO’s electricity and heat can replace fossil-fuel boilers, enabling large-scale decarbonization of ammonia synthesis — critical steps for both food security and emerging clean energy markets.

Biofuel refineries can also benefit from SOLO’s process heat and power, which can efficiently drive distillation, fermentation, and pumping, lowering the carbon intensity of ethanol and biodiesel production while displacing diesel or natural gas.

Civil and Commercial Facilities

Critical facilities such as hospitals, airports, water treatment facilities and hotels require uninterrupted power for continuous operation.

The SOLO reactor is designed to deliver 1MWe of baseload power with additional thermal energy that can be utilized for space heating, water heating, and other facility needs.

For hospitals specifically, our technology is designed to enable both reliable power and the production of radioisotopes for medical applications such as cancer treatment and diagnostics, bringing these capabilities to facilities that might otherwise lack access to such resources.

Underserved Communities

Remote locations, islands, and communities with limited grid access traditionally rely on expensive, polluting diesel generation. SOLO reactors offer transformative energy solutions for these markets, providing stable electricity at predictable costs for basic needs, agricultural irrigation and water desalination. By eliminating dependence on diesel fuel logistics, price fluctuations and negative environmental impacts, our technology can enable sustainable energy independence and economic development in underserved regions.

Our Technology

Electricity and Thermal Capacity

SOLO outputs 1MW electric produced by transforming 4MW of heat powered by the same type of LEU fuel that powers most nuclear facilities in the world today.

Overall Dimensions

The reactor is compact with overall dimensions of approximately 6.5m in height, a square cross section of 2.4 m and weighing 60 metric tons in total (reactor core is less than 20 metric tons). SOLO can be assembled in many existing nuclear manufacturing facilities and can be easily transported on most U.S. and European highways.

Fuel

SOLO can use today’s technologies but is compatible with future technologies without having to make any significant changes to the design.

SOLO provides the only platform to be able to transition from currently licensed fuel products (LEU) to future fuel products and supply (HALEU):

        LEU:    SOLO can operate for ~15 years without need for refueling

        HALEU:    SOLO can operate for ~70 years without need for refueling. As of today, certain non-fuel materials would need to be replaced at ~45 years

____________

(1)      Based on the neutronics analysis, with the use of HALEU, SOLO could either (i) operate at a large power output of 20MWt for 15-years, or (ii) operate at the same power output of 4MWt por ~70 years. Increasing the power output, however, would require a change to the design of the reactor, while operating at the same power for a longer period of time would not require such design changes.

SOLO can also benefit from current and future accident tolerant fuel (ATF) solutions related to new clad material, which would allow an increase of the average working temperature, consequently improving the thermodynamic efficiency and possibly extending its industrial applications

Fuel Rods/Moderator

The fuel rods contain UO2 Pellets at 4.95% U-235 enrichment level in Zircalloy clad (same as operating Light Water Reactors). The moderator is a made of a solid heterogeneous Beryllium and Graphite matrix.

152

Table of Contents

Coolant

SOLO is Helium cooled. The coolant, which is helium gas, enters the bottom of the reactor, is heated while passing through dedicated channels adjacent to the fuel rods and collected into the upper plenum. Keeping a physical separation between the coolant and the fuel rods is a very important design feature. After being heated, the helium moves from the upper plenum to a heat exchanger transferring the heat to the secondary circuit for the production of electricity.

Multiple Redundant Shutdown Mechanisms

The reactor is controlled when everything is operating normally using 12 control blades. It is built with a N+4 redundancy: 8 out of 12 blades are sufficient to shut down the reactor. In addition to the control system, we built 4 different active and passive redundant shutdown mechanisms; each of which has its own redundancy. These 4 shutdown systems can be relied upon in case of malfunction or incident:

        12 shutdown blades: 8 of which are enough to shut down the reactor

        12 shutdown drums, 6 of which are enough to shut down the reactor

        6 shutdown pellets, 2 of which are enough to shut down the reactor

        If those three systems fail, a mechanism injecting helium 3 into the reactor can be activated to shut down the system

153

Table of Contents

Monolith: Biological Shield

SOLO is encased in all sides by the 2.5m thick concrete block, the Monolith, serves as a biological shield from radiation and the decay heat removal system. With the Monolith, decay heat is removed by natural convection. Because almost non-existent radiation reaches the outside of the Monolith, we expect that an EPZ will be limited to its operation boundary. That means you can build a SOLO anywhere and allow humans to walk right up to it.

Competitive Strengths

Unique Technology and Safety Features

SOLO has been purposefully engineered as a compact 4MWt/1MWe reactor to prioritize safety. Its low thermal power output eliminates the risk of core meltdown. By using helium as a coolant instead of water, SOLO also avoids the danger of hydrogen explosions. Additionally, helium’s inert nature means it doesn’t become

154

Table of Contents

radioactive under neutron exposure, unlike alternatives like water or carbon dioxide, reducing proliferation concerns. The reactor is equipped with multiple independent shutdown mechanisms (control blades, shutdown blades, drums, pellets, and helium-3 injection) and enclosed within the Monolith, allowing it to operate without the need for an EPZ and ensuring robust safety and regulatory compliance.

Supply Chain Certainty and Fast Time to Market

Every component of SOLO, including fuel, is sourced from the existing nuclear supply chain. This approach ensures predictable regulatory pathways, reliable commercialization, and cost visibility. Multiple suppliers are available for each key component, reducing supply chain risk and supporting rapid deployment. The simulations associated with the design and components can be executed with existing generally accepted codes.

SOLO’s simple design and use of off-the-shelf materials minimize R&D requirements and streamline the licensing process. The regulatory engagement plan with the NRC is already underway, targeting a first-of-a-kind (FOAK) deployment by 2028.

Economic Competitiveness

SOLO’s LCOE is estimated at 7 cents per kWh over 45 years, which is highly competitive globally, especially in the U.S. and European markets. In European Union countries, for example, average electricity costs are 16 euro cents per kWh, which makes SOLO a very attractive alternative.

The reactor’s co-generation capability (simultaneous production of electricity and usable heat) allows customers to offset heating costs, potentially reducing the effective electricity price further. We believe additional savings might be obtained where carbon credits are available for emission reductions.

Furthermore, SOLO’s modularity enables customers to scale installations precisely to their needs, with significant cost savings due to reduced transmission infrastructure and on-site assembly

Operational Flexibility and Market Reach

SOLO can be a source of electricity, heat, co-generation, or radioisotopes, serving a diverse range of sectors: industrial, infrastructure, medical, data centers, and more.

The modular, factory-assembled design allows SOLO to be shipped globally and installed quickly, even in challenging environments. Its compact size and limited weight of the components supports transport on standard highways and assembly in existing facilities.

The SOLO reactor is compatible with both LEU and, when available, HALEU, ensuring future-proof fuel flexibility. With LEU, SOLO operates for 15 years without re-fueling (up to 45 years with two re-fuelings); with HALEU, it could run for 45+ years on a single load.

Scalability and Redundancy

SOLO’s modularity means installations can be scaled from a single unit to hundreds or even thousands, providing energy redundancy and minimizing the impact of individual reactor outages. A 1,000-unit SOLO installation occupies less space than a typical 1 GW reactor, at a fraction of the cost and with enhanced reliability.

Regulations

We are subject to extensive U.S. federal, state, and local laws and regulations, as well as foreign laws, covering a broad range of areas relevant to our operations. These regulatory requirements are continually evolving, both domestically and internationally, resulting in an expanding scope of compliance obligations. Key areas of regulation include nuclear energy and materials, environmental protection, export controls, national security, and other legal domains. Like other participants in the commercial nuclear industry, we operate under significant scrutiny from regulatory authorities in the U.S. and abroad, and many applicable laws and regulations are subject to ongoing interpretation and change by agencies and courts. Compliance with these requirements can be complex and costly, potentially affecting our business model, competitive position, and financial results.

155

Table of Contents

The nuclear industry is highly regulated worldwide, and the design, construction, and operation of nuclear facilities require regulatory approval in each jurisdiction. Nuclear safety regulators typically assess design safety, resilience to internal and external hazards, and environmental impacts. Regulatory processes are country-specific, though international collaboration among regulators is common, especially when a design is deployed in multiple markets. Our licensing strategy aims to secure timely approvals by engaging early with regulators and maintaining a consistent design across markets, leveraging the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (“NRC”) Standard Design Approval as a foundation.

Internationally, most countries restrict license applications to the proposed plant owner or operator. We intend to engage proactively with regulators in each target country, consistent with our approach in the U.S. The NRC’s established relationships with foreign regulators and participation in international organizations such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (“IAEA”) are expected to support our efforts to obtain regulatory approvals abroad and provide additional confidence in our technology. We also anticipate benefiting from the NRC’s regulatory assistance programs, which facilitate collaboration and information sharing with other national regulators. Beyond nuclear safety, our activities are also subject to other regulatory controls, including export control laws, nuclear material safeguards, non-proliferation obligations, and liability insurance regimes such as the Price-Andersen Act and international conventions. Compliance with these additional requirements may further impact our operations, costs, and risk profile.

Patents and Proprietary Rights

We strategically protect our intellectual property through a combination of patents, trademarks, trade secrets, confidentiality agreements, and licensing arrangements both domestically and internationally, with plans to strengthen this protection framework as our technology portfolio expands.

Our pending and filed patent applications specifically address our advanced reactor designs, passive safety systems, digital twin technology, and specialized nuclear instrumentation and control systems critical to our micro modular reactor technologies. Patent Protection is expected to last until approximately 21 years from the earliest provisional filing date, which would be in 2046 taking into consideration the possibility of a short-term patent term extension and full payment of all fees.

Provisional patents expire one year from their filing date, however such patents remain patent pending as long as a Patent Cooperation Treaty or National phase application claiming a benefit to that provisional patent was filed on or before the one year deadline. The filing of the Regular, PCT or National phase application starts the 20 year available patent term. Together with the one year term of the Provisional Patent, the potential patent term will be approximately 21 years from the filing dates of the provisional applications. There are various factors that might extend or shorten patent terms, including without limitation, (i) excessive delays within the patent office that could result in extensions to the patent term, (ii) Terminal disclaimers that tie patent terms to other patents, and (iii) timely payment of maintenance fees to retain the patent(s) after issue.

We also engage with international and local regulatory bodies and existing frameworks to safeguard our innovations across various jurisdictions. However, certain countries where our reactor components may be manufactured or where our reactor systems may be deployed may offer less robust protection for nuclear intellectual property compared to the United States or European Union regulatory environments.

Our intellectual property strategy employs a systematic assessment framework considering:

   Critical component manufacturing locations and supply chain considerations;

   Strategic nuclear technology development pathways across different regulatory regimes;

   Nuclear-specific intellectual property enforcement mechanisms in target deployment jurisdictions; and

   Commercial significance relative to established and emerging competitors in specific nuclear markets and regions.

We plan to establish licensing agreements for certain specialized nuclear technologies from third-party developers and anticipate continued expansion of such arrangements as our reactor deployment roadmap advances.

Manufacturing and supply chain

We implement a fabless and contract manufacturing strategy, and expect to contract with key suppliers for all phases of the manufacturing process. We leverage the expertise of industry-leading suppliers that comply with nuclear quality assurance standards — including 10 CFR 50 Appendix B — in areas including fabrication, assembly, quality control, reliability testing, and certification. This approach allows Terra Innovatum to avoid the significant costs and risks associated with owning and operating manufacturing facilities while enabling scalability and rapid response to markets changing conditions.

While we plan to directly procure certain critical raw materials used in our products, such as moderators, fuel, and specialized components, our suppliers are expected to manage procurement for most other components. This enables us to focus our resources on product design, licensing, quality assurance, marketing, and customer engagement.

To anticipate high growth periods, we may place non-cancellable inventory orders for certain components ahead of historical lead times, pay premiums, or provide deposits to secure future supply and manufacturing capacity.

Our supply chain is positioned for deployment, with manufacturing risks mitigated through qualification testing of key components in advance of both First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) and Nth-of-a-Kind (NOAK) installations. We are actively securing long-lead materials and have established long-term agreements with critical supply chain partners to ensure operational continuity.

Human Capital

As of March 31, 2025, we had one full-time employee and __ independent contractors We have a seasoned leadership team with over 180 years of cumulative experience in the nuclear industry.

Facilities

As of March 31, 2025, our teams are mainly located at our headquarters in Lucca, Italy. The offices are sub-leased.

Some of our founders and partners are operating remotely from the USA and the UAE.

Legal Proceedings

There are no claims, lawsuits, or proceedings that are currently pending against us. From time to time, we may be subject to various claims, lawsuits, and other legal and administrative proceedings that may arise in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims, lawsuits, and other proceedings may range in complexity and result in substantial uncertainty; it is possible that they may result in damages, fines, penalties, non-monetary sanctions, or relief.

Company Overview

Terra Innovatum is a pioneering nuclear energy technology company developing the SOLO Micro-Modular Nuclear Reactor (“SOLO”), a breakthrough solution designed to address critical challenges in clean energy production. Our reactor represents a significant technological and engineering advancement, offering a compact, safe, and economically compelling alternative to traditional energy infrastructure. The SOLO reactor’s core innovation lies in its ability to generate 1 MWe of electricity baseload with a continuous operational cycle of up to 15 years, extendable to 45 years through strategic refueling, with a fixed and competitive projected levelized cost of energy. SOLO design is characterized by a small footprint and a highly modularity able to cover carbon-free energy needs ranging from MW to GW.

Our strategic roadmap targets commercial deployment by 2028, with a clear focus on delivering a scalable, modular nuclear solution that can be deployed across diverse markets — from industrial and infrastructure to remote and off-grid applications. Key differentiators include our gas-cooled design, multiple safety shutdown mechanisms, safeguard-by-design, small footprint, and the ability to use commercially available Low Enriched Uranium (“LEU”), which significantly reduces regulatory and technological barriers typical in nuclear energy development.

We have made substantial progress in de-risking its First-of-a-Kind (“FOAK”) reactor, including initiating regulatory engagement with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“NRC”), and establishing a robust supply chain strategy. We have completed our reactor design, validated key technological components, and are advancing through critical regulatory milestones to achieve our 2028 FOAK reactor completion target.

Pre-application activities for SOLO micro reactor

Following an informal introductory meeting in November 2024, on January 24, 2025, we engaged in pre-application activities with the NRC for our SOLO micro reactor design, to streamline the licensing process through the submission of the Regulatory Engagement Plan (“REP”).

Merger

On April 21, 2025, Terra, GSR III, and such other parties that may become parties entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”). The following are the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement:

Pre-Closing Restructuring

Terra has undergone and will undergo a pre-closing restructuring (the “Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring”):

        Formation of Terra Innovatum Global srl:    On April 29, 2025, Terra created Terra Innovatum Global srl. (“Terra Global”), with the same owners and ownership percentages as Terra.

        Contribution of Ownership Interests:    Following the formation of Terra Global, all owners of Terra will contribute 100% of their respective quotas in the capital of Terra to Terra Global (the “Contribution”). As a result of the Contribution, Terra will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Terra Global.

        Conversion:    Immediately after the Contribution and before any PIPE or alternative financing, Terra Global will be converted from an Italian limited liability company into a Dutch public limited company.

Formation of Terra MergerCo

After the Terra Pre-closing Restructuring, Terra Global will form Terra MergerCo, a Cayman Islands exempted company, as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary to complete the merger.

Closing Date

On the closing date of the Merger, GSR III will continue as the surviving entity and become a wholly owned subsidiary of Terra Global. At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding ordinary share of GSR III will be exchanged for one ordinary share of Terra Global (the “Merger”).

Registration and Listing

PubCo plans to register the shares with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and apply to list these shares on Nasdaq Stock Market.

Conditions and Closing Date

The Merger requires approval from GSR III shareholders and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

Accounting

The Merger will be accounted for as a recapitalization, with GSR III treated as the acquired company for accounting purposes and Terra Global will be treated as the accounting acquirer.

Bridge Loan

During May 2025 and June 2025, we entered into a series of debt note subscription agreements (the “Bridge Loans”) with multiple lenders, raising aggregate gross proceeds of $4,870,000.

During May 2025 and June 2025, we entered into multiple letter agreements to convert the Bridge Loans into ordinary shares of Terra Global if the Merger is completed (the “Bridge Loan Conversion”). If the Bridge Loan Conversion happens at the time of the Merger, the shares will be priced at $7.00 each. If the Merger does not occur

159

Table of Contents

by April 30, 2026, the Bridge Loan Conversion price will instead be based on a valuation of $100,000,000 divided by the fully diluted equity of Terra. If the Merger is successful, the shares will be issued by Terra Global; if not, they will be issued by us or our parent company. If the Merger is completed, we will be released from its obligations, and Terra Global assumes them. The lender is also entitled to a liquidation preference, receiving either 150% of the conversion price or a pro rata share of the liquidation proceeds, whichever is greater.

Following the closing of the Merger, the lenders will be issued Terra Global warrants to subscribe for up to a number underlying shares, with a range of 10% through 100% of new shares issued from the Bridge Loan Conversion. Such warrants, in aggregate, are exercisable for up to 960,794 ordinary shares of Terra Global at a subscription price of either $11.50 or $15.00 per share. These warrants are exercisable for either 36 or 48 months from the closing of the Merger. The issuance of certain of these warrants is contingent upon meeting funding thresholds specified within those Bridge Loan agreements (the “Bridge Package”). Effective June 6, 2025, the specified funding threshold of the Bridge Package was deemed completed.

The lender is also entitled to a 3% commission on funds raised through the PIPE transaction, payable in cash or shares.

Alliance Advisors, LLC Agreement

On May 9, 2025, we entered into an engagement letter with Alliance Advisors, LLC (“Alliance”) which outlines the terms under which Alliance will provide investor relations and advisory services to us starting May 1, 2025. Alliance will implement a financial communications program and receive a monthly fee of approximately $16,500 consisting of $10,000 in cash and $6,500 deferred until the Merger closes. A $75,000 success fee is also due upon a successful Nasdaq listing. The agreement includes provisions for additional services, expense reimbursements, and a 3% service fee for access to market intelligence tools. The engagement letter expires on April 30, 2026, however, has automatic annual renewals unless terminated with notice. If we do not complete the closing of the Merger by October 31, 2025, we will pay the Deferred Monthly Fee in the aggregate amount of $39,000 by November 30th, 2025.

Key Factors and Trends Affecting Our Business and Results of Operations

We believe the following factors and trends may cause previously reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results or future financial conditions:

        Product Development Plan

The commercial rollout of any advanced nuclear reactors depends on securing regulatory approvals for its design, construction, and operation. Our regulatory engagement plan was submitted to the NRC, and the NRC is currently reviewing a number of safety related topics related to SOLO. Although our team has significant prior experience working with the NRC, we cannot control NRC’s review process and review periods may take longer than anticipated.

        Macroeconomic Conditions and Global Market Dynamics

Our business operates in a complex global environment with multiple interconnected economic factors that can significantly impact our technological development, regulatory trajectory, and potential market penetration. As a nuclear technology company with an international human capital strategy and multinational supply chain, we are sensitive to macroeconomic trends and risks.

        Global Supply Chain Dynamics

We utilize a strategic outsourced manufacturing approach for the SOLO Micro-Modular Nuclear Reactor, leveraging international human resources and implementing an international manufacturing model for our FOAK reactor. This strategy exposes us to global supply chain vulnerabilities, including potential impacts from geopolitical tensions, trade agreements, tariffs, and manufacturing disruptions. Our current assembly preparation in Europe for reactor deployment in the U.S. introduces additional complexity in navigating international trade regulations, currency exchange risks, and logistical challenges.

By partnering with specialized suppliers certified in nuclear engineering and precision manufacturing, we aim to avoid significant capital investments in manufacturing facilities and concentrate our resources on core competencies such as reactor design, technological innovation, and regulatory compliance. Our procurement strategy involves direct engagement with multiple suppliers for critical components, ensuring supply chain reliability and maintaining the flexibility to adapt our technology to evolving market and regulatory requirements.

        Inflation and Cost Pressures

Inflationary trends represent a risk to our development trajectory. Escalating costs in specialized manufacturing, regulatory compliance, technical talent acquisition, and raw material procurement could potentially erode our projected economic advantages.

        Energy Market Evolution

The global energy transition, driven by decarbonization efforts and increasing demand for reliable low-carbon baseload power, creates both opportunities and challenges. The explosive growth in data center energy requirements, particularly with artificial intelligence (“AI”) and computational infrastructure expansion, presents a promising market segment. However, economic growth cycles, shifts in energy policy, and potential slowdowns in technological adoption could materially affect our market positioning and revenue projections.

161

Table of Contents

To mitigate the AI driven market concentration risks, we have strategically designed SOLO with multi-sector versatility, targeting a diverse range of energy-intensive industries including industrial manufacturing (cement, steel, mining, paper production), critical infrastructure services (airports, ports, logistics hubs), agricultural and food processing applications (greenhouses, vertical farming, food processing plants), energy storage (ammonia production, pink hydrogen) and essential utility services like desalination and water treatment. This intentional market diversification allows us to create resilience against sector-specific economic fluctuations, leveraging SOLO’s ability to provide both electricity and thermal energy across multiple high-demand sectors, including emerging opportunities in medical radioisotope production.

        Regulatory and Geopolitical Landscape

Our multinational operational model requires navigating complex regulatory environments across different jurisdictions. Changes in nuclear energy policies and geopolitical tensions could significantly impact our potential market access. The evolving global stance on nuclear energy, particularly small modular reactors, introduces both strategic opportunities and potential regulatory constraints.

        Technological and Labor Market Dynamics

The specialized nature of our technology demands access to a global pool of highly skilled technical talent. Potential labor market shifts, competition for specialized nuclear engineering expertise, and varying international education and training standards could influence our human resource strategy and technology development velocity.

        Economic Uncertainty Factors

Macroeconomic uncertainties, including potential recessionary periods, fluctuations in investment trends in energy related technology, and broader economic growth patterns, could affect our funding capabilities, customer acquisition strategies, and overall business development trajectory.

        Funding and Investment

We have limited financial resources. There can be no assurance that sufficient funding will be available to us to fund our operating expenses and to further develop our business. We anticipate that we will likely need to raise additional capital to fund our operations while we implement and execute our business plan.

Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. Until the company is considered to be an emerging growth company, the company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when an accounting standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies until the fiscal year following the determination that our voting and non-voting ordinary shares held by non-affiliates is $250 million or more measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenues are less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting ordinary shares held by non-affiliates is $700 million or more measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

Segment Reporting

We operate as one operating segment with a focus on nuclear energy. Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), as our chief operating decision maker, manages and allocates resources to our operations. This enables our CEO to assess the overall level of available resources and determine how best to deploy these resources across service lines in line with our long-term company-wide strategic goals.

Results of Operations

The period to period comparisons of our results of operations have been prepared using the historical periods included in our financial statements. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. We have derived this data from our annual financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Key Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

To date, we have not generated any revenue from product sales and do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products for the foreseeable future.

Operating Expenses

General and administrative

Our general and administrative consists primarily of advisory fees in connection with the Merger discussed in the “Business Combination and Public Company Costs” section above, legal fees, audit and accounting services fees, board of directors compensation, fees for management consultancy services, fees for public relations consultancy services, fees for other professional services, software fees, bank fees, taxes, and employee benefit expense.

Development costs

Our development costs consist of salaries and personnel costs.

Operating Expenses

General and administrative

General and administrative increased by $1,415,173 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to an increase of $891,307 due to fees for legal services, an increase of $188,173 due to fees for audit and accounting services, an increase of $102,210 due to board of directors compensation, an increase of $62,164 due to fees for public relations consultancy services, an increase of $56,661 due to fees for management consultancy services, an increase of $35,576 due advisory fees in connection with the potential SPAC transaction discussed in the “Business Combination and Public Company Costs” section above, and $79,082 of miscellaneous expenses.

We expect to continue to incur additional general and administrative expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq Stock Market, additional insurance costs, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services. As a result, we expect general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars in future periods.

Development costs

Development costs increased by $20,490 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to increases in travel and entertainment expenses, salary expense, and other personnel costs.

Other income (expenses)

Other income — related party

Other income — related party decreased by $13,032 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. We provided engineering consulting services unrelated to our core business during the three months ended March 31, 2024. No such services were provided during three months ended March 31, 2025.

Operating Expenses

General and administrative

General and administrative increased by $75,209 for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to $46,800 in advisory fees in connection with the Merger discussed in the “Business Combination and Public Company Costs” section above, an increase of $13,063 due to fees for public relations consultancy services, an increase of $2,866 due to legal fees, a $9,692 increase in professional services fees primarily due to notary services in connection with share transfers, and $2,788 of miscellaneous expenses.

We expect to continue to incur additional general and administrative expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq Stock Market, additional insurance costs, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services. As a result, we expect general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars in future periods.

Development costs

Development costs increased by $33,392 for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to the hiring of an employee in June 2023, resulting in a partial year of compensation costs in 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

Table of Contents

Other (expenses) income

Other income — related party

Other income — related party increased by $90,229 for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to an increase in engineering consulting services unrelated to our core business that we provided to related parties.

Other (expenses) income

During the year ended December 31, 2024, other (expenses) income was relatively unchanged when compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.

(Provision) benefit for income taxes

Provision for income taxes increased $10,701 for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023.

Net loss

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $33,581 as compared to net loss of $4,472 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The change was due to the result of an increase of $108,601 in loss from operations, partially offset by an increase of $90,193 in other income, net, and an increase in provision for income taxes of $10,701.

Liquidity, Going Concern, and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from capital contributions. To date, we have not generated any revenue from our core business operations. We do not expect to generate any meaningful revenue unless and until we are able to complete development, regulatory licensing and entering into the effective commercialization phase of the SOLO Micro-Modular Nuclear Reactor which we do not anticipate occurring before 2028. We will require additional capital to develop the SOLO Micro-Modular Nuclear Reactor and to fund operations for the foreseeable future. In the short term, we will fund our cash needs through funds raised through convertible bridge loans and funds to be received upon the closing of the Business Combination. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, we raised approximately $5 million in bridge financing. It is a condition to closing that the GSR Available Cash be at least $25 million.

We will be outsourcing manufacturing. Consequently, we will not need to invest heavily in manufacturing facilities for the first 2 to 3 years while scaling up to 1,000 units per year. After that, Terra will most likely require co-investments with suppliers and contract manufacturers. If additional funding was made available earlier, we would be in a position to upfront some of the working capital and capital expenses requirements associated with a faster ramp up of the production capacity.

As of March 31, 2025, we had cash of $43,787. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we used approximately $199,056 in cash for operating activities. As of December 31, 2024, we had cash of $68,934. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we used approximately $41,192 in cash for operating activities. Historically, we have incurred recurring net losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities. As of March 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $1,484,550. As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $36,862.

These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date these financial statements were issued.

We are trying to alleviate the going concern risk through the debt and equity financing in the U.S. capital market to support its working capital after the de-SPAC transaction. However, there is no guarantee that the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern will be alleviated. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to further implement our business plan and generate sufficient revenue and ability to raise additional funds.

166

Table of Contents

These accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we entered into the 2024 Loan Agreement with our quotaholders. The total loan amount of $216,212 was provided in full by March 31, 2025. On March 21, 2025, we entered into the 2025 Loan Agreement with our quotaholders. The total loan amount of $220,749 is to be provided in cash installments by April 10, 2025, and matures on December 31, 2040. The maturity is subject to annual extensions until December 31, 2024, unless repayment is requested by the quotaholders. As of March 31, 2025, quotaholders advanced a total of $287,815 related to the 2024 and 2025 Loan Agreements.

Bridge Loan

During May 2025 and June 2025, we entered into a series of debt note subscription agreements (the “Bridge Loans”) with multiple lenders, raising aggregate gross proceeds of $4,870,000.

During May 2025 and June 2025, we entered into multiple letter agreements to convert the Bridge Loans into ordinary shares of Terra Global if the Merger is completed (the “Bridge Loan Conversion”). If the Bridge Loan Conversion happens at the time of the Merger, the shares will be priced at $7.00 each. If the Merger does not occur by April 30, 2026, the Bridge Loan Conversion price will instead be based on a valuation of $100,000,000 divided by the fully diluted equity of Terra. If the Merger is successful, the shares will be issued by Terra Global; if not, they will be issued by us or our parent company. If the Merger is completed, we will be released from its obligations, and Terra Global assumes them. The lender is also entitled to a liquidation preference, receiving either 150% of the conversion price or a pro rata share of the liquidation proceeds, whichever is greater.

Following the closing of the Merger, the lenders will be issued Terra Global warrants to subscribe for up to a number underlying shares, with a range of 10% through 100% of new shares issued from the Bridge Loan Conversion. Such warrants, in aggregate, are exercisable for up to 960,794 ordinary shares of Terra Global at a subscription price of either $11.50 or $15.00 per share. These warrants are exercisable for either 36 or 48 months from the closing of the Merger. The issuance of certain of these warrants is contingent upon meeting funding thresholds specified within those Bridge Loan agreements (the “Bridge Package”). Effective June 6, 2025, the specified funding threshold of the Bridge Package was deemed completed.

The lender is also entitled to a 3% commission on funds raised through the PIPE transaction, payable in cash or shares.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between or among any of the persons who will serve as directors or executive officers of PubCo except for Massimo Morichi (Father) and Giordano Morichi (Son).

Dutch Corporate Governance Code

Since PubCo qualifies as a listed Dutch public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap), PubCo will be subject to the Dutch Corporate Governance Code (the “DCGC”). The DCGC contains both principles and best practice provisions on corporate governance that regulate relations between the board of directors and the general meeting and matters in respect of financial reporting, auditors, disclosure, compliance and enforcement standards. The DCGC is based on a “comply or explain” principle. Accordingly, PubCo is required to disclose in its statutory management report, filed in the Netherlands, whether it complies with the provisions of the DCGC. If PubCo does not comply with these provisions, PubCo is required to give the reasons for such non-compliance.

Independence of the Board of Directors

In connection with the Business Combination, the PubCo Ordinary Shares will be listed on Nasdaq. Under the rules of Nasdaq, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. In addition, the rules of Nasdaq require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent. Under the rules of Nasdaq, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Audit committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the rules of Nasdaq. Compensation committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and the rules of Nasdaq.

171

Table of Contents

In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and under the rules of Nasdaq, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee: (a) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or (b) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

To be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and under the rules of Nasdaq, the board of directors must affirmatively determine that the member of the compensation committee is independent, including a consideration of all factors specifically relevant to determining whether the director has a relationship to the company which is material to that director’s ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation committee member, including, but not limited to:

(i)     the source of compensation of such director, including any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee paid by the company to such director; and

(ii)    whether such director is affiliated with the company, a subsidiary of the company or an affiliate of a subsidiary of the company.

The PubCo board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and considered whether each director of PubCo has a material relationship with PubCo that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. As a result of this review, PubCo anticipates that ________________, ___________, _________ and ________ will be considered “independent directors” as defined under the listing requirements and rules of Nasdaq and the applicable rules of the Exchange Act.

In addition, certain provisions regarding the independency of non-executive directors apply based on the DCGC. The composition of the non-executive directors is such that the members are able to operate independently and critically vis-à-vis one another, the executive directors and any particular interests involved. The composition of the non-executive directors should be such that they are able to operate independently and critically vis-à-vis one another, the executive directors and any particular interests involved. In order to safeguard the independence of the non-executive directors, certain independency criteria apply, being in any case that the DCGC stipulates that a majority of the non-executive directors should be independent within the meaning of the DCGC and that for each shareholder or group of afliated shareholders directly or indirectly holding more than 10 per cent of the shares in PubCo, there is at most one executive director who can be considered to be affiliated with or representing them in conformity with the independence rules as included in the DCGC.

Furthermore, the chairperson of the PubCo board of directors should not be a former executive director and should be independent within the meaning of the DCGC.

All of PubCo’s executive/non-executive directors, qualify as independent within the meaning of the DCGC.

Diversity and Director and Officer Qualifications

PubCo is not expected to formally establish any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met by each of its directors. However, PubCo expects generally to evaluate the following qualities: educational background, diversity of professional experience, including whether the person is a current or was a former chief executive officer or chief financial officer of a public company or the head of a division of a prominent international organization, knowledge of PubCo’s business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and ability to represent the best interests of PubCo’s shareholders.

Furthermore, from the moment PubCo qualifies as a so-called “large company” under Dutch law, it will be subject to the gender diversity target regime. Under this target regime PubCo would have to set appropriate and ambitious targets — which should take the form of target ratios — to bring about a more balanced ratio of men to women with regard to its directors. A Dutch company qualifies as large, if it meets at least two of the following three criteria on at least two successive balance sheet dates: (a) the value of the assets (based on its balance sheet and explanatory notes) on the basis of acquisition and production prices exceeds EUR 25mio, (b) the net turnover for the financial year exceeds EUR 50mio and (c) the average number of employees is 250 or more.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We anticipate that, upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the PubCo board of directors will adopt a code of ethics, which applies to Terra Innovatum’s employees, officers, and directors, as its own. A copy of such code of ethics is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part.

Officer and Director Compensation Following the Business Combination

The PubCo board of directors determines the remuneration of the directors of PubCo with due observance of the remuneration policy adopted by the general meeting of PubCo. Executive directors of PubCo may not take part in the decision-making process in respect of the remuneration of executive directors. A proposal with respect to a remuneration scheme in the form of shares or rights to shares is submitted by the PubCo board of directors to the PubCo general meeting for its approval. This proposal must set out at least the maximum number of shares or rights to shares to be granted to executive directors and the criteria for granting or amendment.

The Compensation Committee may validly resolve on (rechtsgeldig besluiten tot) determining the remuneration of the individual directors, with due observance of the remuneration policy adopted by the PubCo general meeting, without resolutions, approvals or other involvement of the PubCo board of directors being required. Such resolution shall be considered to be a resolution of the PubCo board of directors. The Compensation Committee will inform the PubCo board of directors promptly after having adopted such a resolution.

While we do not expect any material differences in the compensation of Terra Innovatum’s current executive officers once they become executive officers of PubCo, we have not determined whether and to what extent directors of PubCo and Terra Innovatum will be paid for their service as directors.

Information about GSR III

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to the “Company,” “GSR III,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to GSR III prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

General

GSR III is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on May 10, 2023. GSR III was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. GSR III has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. Based on GSR III’s business activities, it is a “shell company” as defined under the Exchange Act because it has no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash.

Significant Activities Since Inception

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on November 7, 2024. On November 8, 2024, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units including 3,000,000 additional public units as the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000.

Following the closing of GSR III’s initial public offering, a total of $230 million ($10.00 per unit) of the net proceeds from its initial public offering and the sale of the private placement units was placed in the trust account. The proceeds held in the trust account may be invested by the trustee only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. As of December 31, 2024, funds in the trust account totaled $231,412,096. These funds will remain in the trust account, except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, until the earliest of (1) the completion of a business combination (including the closing of the Business Combination), (2) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to consummate the Business Combination, and (3) the redemption of all of the public shares if GSR III is unable to complete a business combination by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor), subject to applicable law.

The GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares, GSR III Public Units and GSR III Rights are currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “GSRT,” “GSRTU” and “GSRTR,” respectively.

Sponsor Background and Ownership

GSR III Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, was formed for the sole purpose of founding and supporting GSR III through its IPO and initial business combination. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor is comprised of three managing members, Gus Garcia, Lewis Silberman and Anantha Ramamurti. The Sponsor does not engage in any other business activities and is not responsible for the day-to-day operations of GSR III.

On May 30, 2023, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain offering costs of the Company in consideration for 5,750,000 GSR III Class B ordinary shares. The number of GSR III Class B ordinary shares collectively represented 20% of GSR III’s issued and outstanding shares upon the completion of the initial public offering.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 422,500 Private Placement Units (including 7,500 additional Private Placement Units as the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full) to the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $4,225,000. Out of the aggregate amount of $4,225,000, the amount of $4,040,000 from the sale of the Private Placement Units are added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account and the balance of $185,000 is receivable from the Sponsor, which will be presented as a reduction to shareholders’ deficit. The proceeds received from the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account was used partially to pay some general and administrative expenses.

The rules of Nasdaq require that GSR III must consummate an initial business combination with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the trust account (excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in trust) at the time of GSR III’s signing a definitive agreement in connection with its initial business combination. GSR III’s board of directors determined that this test was met in connection with the proposed Business Combination.

Shareholder Approval of Business Combination

GSR III is seeking stockholder approval of the Business Combination at the extraordinary general meeting, at which shareholders may elect to redeem their shares, regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the BCA Proposal, into their pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us (net of taxes payable). GSR III will consummate the Business Combination only if we have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the public shares.

Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 20% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 20% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

The Sponsor and each director and each officer of GSR III have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in the case of the Sponsor, subject also to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement, and waive its redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination with respect to any ordinary shares held by them. The ordinary shares held by the Sponsor will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor owns 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material non-public information regarding us or GSR III’s securities, the Sponsor, PubCo or our or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may purchase public shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares or vote their public shares in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of GSR III’s shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor, PubCo or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of (1) satisfaction of the requirement that holders of a majority of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, (2) satisfaction of the requirement that the GSR III Available Cash Amount condition is satisfied, (3) otherwise limiting the number of public shares electing to redeem and (4) GSR III’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001.

Liquidation if No Business Combination

If GSR III has not completed the Business Combination with PubCo by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor), and has not completed another business combination by such date, in each case, as such date may be extended pursuant to the GSR III Organizational Documents, GSR III will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the 23,000,000 GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest will be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of GSR III’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Sponsor has entered into a letter agreement with GSR III, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their GSR III Class B ordinary shares if GSR III fails to complete its business combination within the required time period. However, if Sponsor owns any public shares, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such public shares if GSR III fails to complete its business combination within the allotted time period.

The Sponsor and GSR III’s directors and officers have agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with GSR III, that they will not propose any amendment to the Cayman Constitutional (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, in each case unless we provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (less permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares. However, we may not redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.

GSR III expects that all costs and expenses associated with implementing its plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts held outside the trust account, although it cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing GSR III’s plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the trust account not required to pay taxes, GSR III may request the trustee to release to us an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.

The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims of GSR III’s creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of GSR III’s public shareholders. GSR III cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by public shareholders will not be substantially less than $10.00. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and GSR III — If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price in GSR III’s initial public offering)” and other risk factors contained herein. While GSR III intend to pay such amounts, if any, GSR III cannot assure you that GSR III will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

Although GSR III will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than GSR III’s independent auditors), prospective target businesses and other entities with which GSR III does business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account for the benefit of GSR III’s public shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the trust account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against GSR III’s assets, including the funds held in the trust account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account, GSR III’s management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver only if management believes that

182

Table of Contents

such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative. Examples of possible instances where GSR III may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where GSR III is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Upon redemption of GSR III’s public shares, if GSR III has not completed GSR III’s initial business combination within the required time period, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with GSR III’s initial business combination, GSR III will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the 10 years following redemption. In order to protect the amounts held in the trust account, Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than GSR III’s independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which GSR III has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) (2) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriter of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. GSR III has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and GSR III believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of GSR III and, therefore, the Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. None of GSR III’s other directors or officers will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

In the event that the proceeds in the trust account are reduced below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case in each case net of permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, GSR III’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While GSR III currently expects that GSR III’s independent directors would take legal action on GSR III’s behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that GSR III’s independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. Accordingly, GSR III cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be substantially less than $10.00 per share. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and GSR III — If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price in GSR III’s initial public offering)” and other risk factors contained herein.

GSR III will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the trust account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than GSR III’s independent auditors), prospective target businesses and other entities with which GSR III does business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the trust account. The Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under GSR III’s indemnity of the underwriters of the initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

If GSR III files a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable insolvency law, and may be included in GSR III’s insolvency estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of GSR III’s shareholders. To the extent any insolvency claims deplete the trust account, GSR III cannot assure you GSR III will be able to return $10.00 per share to GSR III’s public shareholders. Additionally, if GSR III files a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or insolvency laws as a voidable performance. As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by GSR III’s shareholders. Furthermore, GSR III’s board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to GSR III’s creditors or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and us to claims of punitive damages, by paying

183

Table of Contents

public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. GSR III cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and GSR III — If, after we distribute the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, GSR III files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and we and our board of directors may be exposed to claims of punitive damages.”

GSR III’s public shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only upon the earliest to occur of: (1) GSR III’s completion of an initial business combination, and then only in connection with those GSR III Class A ordinary shares that such shareholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein; (2) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the GSR III Organizational Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of GSR III’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with GSR III’s initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if GSR III does not complete GSR III’s initial business combination by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; and (3) the redemption of the public shares if GSR III has not completed an initial business combination by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor), subject to applicable law. In no other circumstances will a shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account. Holders of GSR III rights will not have any right to the proceeds held in the trust account with respect to the GSR III rights.

Facilities

We currently maintain our executive offices at 5900 Balcones Drive, Suite 100, Austin, TX 78731, United States of America. The cost for this space is included in the $55,556 per month fee that we will pay an affiliate of GSR Sponsor for office space, administrative and support services. We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations.

Employees

We currently have four officers and do not intend to have any additional full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination. Members of our management team are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial business combination. The amount of time that any such person will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for our initial business combination and the current stage of the business combination process.

Competition

If GSR III succeeds in effecting the Business Combination, there will be, in all likelihood, significant competition from Terra Innovatum’s competitors. GSR III cannot assure you that, subsequent to the Business Combination, PubCo will have the resources or ability to compete effectively. Information regarding PubCo’s competition is set forth in the sections entitled “Information about Terra Innovatum — Competition.”

These provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by a special resolution passed by a majority of at least 90% of our ordinary shares attending and voting in a general meeting. Each of our directors will hold office for a three-year term. Subject to any other special rights applicable to the shareholders, any vacancies on our board of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present and voting at the meeting of our board of directors or by a majority of the holders of our ordinary shares (or, prior to our initial business combination, holders of our founder shares).

Director Independence

Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent within one year of our initial public offering. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. We have three “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our board has determined that each of Jonathan Cole, Susie Kuan and Jody Sitkoski is an independent director under applicable SEC rules and the Nasdaq listing standards.

Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Executive Officer and Director Compensation

None of our directors or officers have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. On October 31, 2024, GSR Sponsor transferred 10,000 founder shares to each of our independent directors (an aggregate of 30,000 founder shares) at their original purchase price. Commencing on the date that our securities are first listed on Nasdaq through the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination and our liquidation, we will pay an affiliate of GSR Sponsor a total of $55,556 per month for office space, administrative and support services. GSR Sponsor, our directors and officers, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by us to GSR Sponsor, directors, officers or our or any of their respective affiliates.

We are not party to any agreements with our directors and officers that provide for benefits upon termination of employment. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business, and we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination should be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination.

Legal Proceedings

There is no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending or to GSR III’s knowledge, threatened against us or any members of GSR III’s management team in their capacity as such.

Periodic Reporting and Audited Financial Statements

GSR III has registered its securities under the Exchange Act and has reporting obligations, including the requirement to file annual and quarterly reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, GSR III’s annual reports contain financial statements audited and reported on by GSR III’s independent registered public accounting firm. GSR III has filed with the SEC its Annual Report on Form 10-K covering the year ended December 31, 2024.

GSR III’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to GSR III prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

We are a blank check company incorporated on May 10, 2023 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“Business Combination”). See below for disclosure of a Business Combination Agreement the Company entered into with Terra Innovatum (a target company).

As of March 31, 2025, we had not yet commenced operations. All activity through March 31, 2025 relates to our formation and our Initial Public Offering which is described below, and since the Initial Public Offering, our search for a Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We generate non-operating income from the proceeds held in the Trust Account (as defined below). We have selected December 31 as our fiscal year end.

Initial Public Offering and Private Placement

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on November 7, 2024. On November 8, 2024, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units including 3,000,000 additional public units as the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 422,500 Private Placement Units including 7,500 additional Private Placement Units as the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full to the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $4,225,000. This amount from the sale of the Private Placement Units are added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. The proceeds received from the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account was used partially to pay some general and administrative expenses.

If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, it may seek an amendment to amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the period of time to complete an initial Business Combination beyond 21 months. The Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association requires at least a special resolution of shareholders as a matter of Cayman Islands law, meaning that such an amendment be approved by at least two-thirds of ordinary shares who, being entitled to do so, attend and vote (either in person or by proxy) at a general meeting of the company. If the Company seeks shareholder approval to extend beyond the 21-month period in which to complete an initial Business Combination to a later date, The Company is required to offer public shareholders the right to have their public ordinary shares redeemed for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (less permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses). There are no limitations to the number of times that the Company may seek shareholder approval or that shareholders may approve to extend beyond the 21-month period in which to complete a Business Combination at a later date. If the initial Business Combination is not completed in the period provided, the membership interests of the Sponsor become worthless.

Business Combination Agreement

On April 21, 2025, the Company entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Terra Innovatum s.r.l., an Italian limited liability company (“Terra Innovatum”). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, Terra Innovatum and their related parties will

189

Table of Contents

undertake a series of reorganizations, equity issuances, and purchases, resulting in the Company becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of a Dutch public limited liability company (“Pubco”), which will be formed as part of the transaction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $1,327,852 and $1,787,033, respectively, of cash held outside of the Trust Account, after payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering, and available for working capital purposes.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, cash used in operating activities was $459,181 and zero, respectively.

We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, including the funds held in the Trust Account, to acquire a target business or businesses and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our share capital is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect our initial Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.

Over the next 12 months (assuming a Business Combination is not consummated prior thereto), we will be using the funds held outside of the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

If our estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial Business Combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, or the amount of interest available to us from the Trust Account is less than we expect as a result of the current interest rate environment, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate our initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of our initial Business Combination. Following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Going Concern Consideration

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” we have determined that mandatory liquidation, should we not complete a Business Combination and an extension of our deadline to do so not be approved by the shareholders of the Company, and potential subsequent dissolution and the liquidity issue raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern if it does not complete a Business Combination.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $1,327,852 in its operating bank account and working capital of $626,104. The Company has incurred and expects to incur significant costs to operate as a publicly traded company, to evaluate business opportunities, and to close on a Business Combination. Such costs will be incurred prior to generating any operating revenues. These factors also raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

190

Table of Contents

Management plans to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date and anticipates that the Company will have sufficient liquidity to fund its operations until then. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination (including the potential Business Combination described above) within the required timeframe or that liquidity will be sufficient to fund operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since inception up to March 31, 2025 relates to our formation and the Initial Public Offering, and since the Initial Public Offering, our search for a Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We generate non-operating income from the proceeds held in the Trust Account.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had a net income of $1,163,020, which consisted of non-operating income earned on the Trust Account and operating account of $2,423,285, partially offset by loss from operations of $1,260,265 consisting of general and administrative expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we did not have any transactions and had a net income of $0.

Contractual Obligations

Administrative Services Agreement

Commencing on November 8, 2024, the Company has entered into an agreement to pay the Sponsor a total of up to $55,556 per month for office space and administrative and support services. Upon completion of a Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred $166,668 in fees for these services, which are included within general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations (none for the three months ended March 31, 2024). There were no related amounts payable as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Promissory Note — Related Party

During June 2024, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and became due on November 8, 2024 upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company borrowed $132,984 under the Note to pay for offering costs, of which $98,228 was settled through risk capital funding and $34,756 was repaid from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering placed in the Trust Account. The risk capital used to settle a portion of the Note is part of the private placement units issued contemporaneously with the Initial Public Offering and hence included as part of additional paid-in capital in the statements of changes in shareholders’ (deficit) equity. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no outstanding balance under the Note.

Working Capital Loans

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, members of the Company’s founding team or any of their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds 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. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lenders’ discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement units at a price of $10.00 per unit. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no outstanding Working Capital Loans.

Critical Accounting Estimates

This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We have not identified any critical accounting estimates.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

As of March 31, 2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

DESCRIPTION OF PUBCO SECURITIES

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, New TopCo is an Italian limited liability company (Italian Società a responsabilità limitata) and formed by Terra OpCo on April 27, 2025 with the same quotaholders in the same ownership percentages as Terra OpCo. New TopCo was registered with the relevant Italian trade register under the registration number     .

Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, New TopCo will be cross-border converted from an Italian limited liability company (Italian Società a responsabilità limitata) into a Dutch public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) and thereby transfers its jurisdiction and corporate seat (statutaire zetel) to the Netherlands, while remaining its tax residency in Italy. In connection with the Conversion and ultimately as of the time of Closing, the PubCo Articles of Association will come in effect, pursuant to which the name of New TopCo will change into “Terra Innovatum Global N.V.”

The following is a summary of material terms of PubCo’s securities upon the Closing. It includes information relating to PubCo’s securities, the PubCo Articles of Association, the PubCo board regulations and applicable Dutch law in effect as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. The summaries of the PubCo Articles of Association and the PubCo board regulations as set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the PubCo Articles of Association and the PubCo board regulations, included as Annexes     ,      and     , respectively, to this proxy statement/prospectus.

Corporate Seat and Place of Effective Management

As of the Conversion, PubCo will be a legal entity existing under the laws of the Netherlands. It will have its corporate seat (statutaire zetel) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The address of PubCo will be Via Matteo Trenta 117, Lucca, Italy 55100. Since incorporation PubCo has had, and it intends to continue to have, its place of effective management in Italy.

PubCo will be registered with the Dutch trade register. Its trade register number will become available upon the registration of the Conversion with the Dutch trade register.

Share Capital and Form of Shares

As of the Closing, the PubCo Articles of Association will provide for an authorized share capital of €        , divided into (i)          PubCo Ordinary Shares with a nominal value of €0.01 each, and          PubCo Preferred Shares with a nominal value of €100.00 each. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, all issued and outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Preferred Shares will have been fully paid up.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo expects that          PubCo Ordinary Shares will be held by PubCo in treasury.

Under Dutch law, the authorized share capital is the maximum share capital that PubCo may issue without amending the PubCo Articles of Association.

Pursuant to the PubCo Articles of Association, the PubCo Ordinary Shares and the PubCo Preferred Shares will be held in registered form. No share certificates will be issued.

Issuance of Shares

Based on the PubCo Articles of Association, PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Preferred Shares shall be issued or rights to subscribe for PubCo shares may be granted pursuant to a resolution of the PubCo board of directors if the board of directors has been designated thereto by the PubCo general meeting for a specific period and with due observance of applicable statutory provisions. Designation by resolution of the PubCo general meeting cannot be withdrawn unless determined otherwise at the time of designation.

The scope and duration of PubCo’s board of directors authority to issue PubCo shares or grant rights to subscribe for PubCo shares (such as granting stock options) will determined by a resolution of PubCo’s general meeting and relates, at the most, to all unissued shares in PubCo’s authorized capital on the date on which the PubCo’s board of directors resolves to issue PubCo shares or grant rights to subscribe for PubCo shares. The

193

Table of Contents

duration of this authority may not exceed a period of five years. Designation of the PubCo’s board of directors as the body authorized to issue PubCo shares or grant rights to subscribe for PubCo shares may be extended by a resolution of PubCo’s general meeting for a period not exceeding five years in each case. The number of PubCo shares that may be issued or rights to subscribe for PubCo shares that may be granted by PubCo’s board of directors is determined at the time of designation. If and insofar as the PubCo board of directors is not designated by the PubCo general meeting, PubCo shares shall be issued pursuant to a resolution of the PubCo general meeting.

No resolution of PubCo’s general meeting or resolution of the PubCo’s board of directors is required to issue PubCo shares pursuant to the exercise of a previously granted right to subscribe for PubCo shares.

The PubCo general meeting will adopt a resolution prior to the Closing pursuant to which the PubCo’s board of directors will be authorized, for a period of five years from the date of the Closing, to issue PubCo Ordinary Shares and grant rights to subscribe for PubCo Ordinary Shares up to the authorized share capital from time to time.

Pre-emptive Rights

Under Dutch law and the PubCo Articles of Association, each shareholder will have a pre-emptive right in proportion to the aggregate amount of its PubCo Ordinary Shares upon the issuance of new PubCo Ordinary Shares or the granting of rights to subscribe for PubCo Ordinary Shares. Exceptions to this pre-emptive right include the issuance of new PubCo Ordinary Shares or the granting of rights to subscribe for PubCo Ordinary Shares: (i) to employees of PubCo or another company of its group; (ii) against payment other than in cash; and (iii) to persons exercising a previously granted right to subscribe for PubCo Ordinary Shares. Holders of PubCo Preferred Shares will not have pre-emptive rights to acquire newly issued PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Preferred Shares and no pre-emptive rights will exist with respect to the issue of PubCo Preferred Shares. In accordance with Dutch law, pre-emptive rights may be exercised during a period of at least two weeks after the announcement of an issuance of new PubCo Ordinary Shares or a grant of rights to subscribe for PubCo Ordinary Shares in the Dutch State Gazette.

Based on PubCo’s Articles of Association, the PubCo board of directors will be authorized to resolve on the limitation or exclusion of pre-emptive rights upon an issuance of PubCo Ordinary Shares or a grant of rights to subscribe for PubCo Ordinary Shares, if the PubCo board of directors has been designated thereto by the PubCo general meeting for a specific period of time not exceeding five years but only if the PubCo board of directors has also been authorized or is simultaneously authorized to issue PubCo Ordinary Shares. The designation may be extended by specific consecutive periods with due observance of applicable statutory provisions. Unless otherwise stipulated at its grant, the designation may not be withdrawn.

If and insofar as the PubCo board of directors is not designated by the PubCo general meeting, pre-emptive rights may be limited or excluded by a resolution of the PubCo general meeting. The PubCo general meeting shall, in addition to the PubCo board of directors, remain authorized to limit or exclude pre-emptive rights if such is specifically stipulated in the resolution authorizing the PubCo board of directors to limit or exclude pre-emptive rights.

A resolution of the PubCo general meeting to limit or exclude pre-emptive rights or to authorize the PubCo board of directors to do so, can only be adopted at the proposal of the board of directors and shall require a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes cast if less than half of the issued capital of PubCo is represented at the PubCo general meeting. When adopting a resolution to issue PubCo shares, the PubCo general meeting or the PubCo board of directors shall determine how and during which period these pre-emptive rights may be exercised.

The PubCo general meeting will adopt a resolution prior to the Closing pursuant to which the PubCo board of directors will be authorized, for a period of five years from the Closing Date, to limit or exclude pre-emptive rights in connection with an issuance of PubCo Ordinary Shares or grant of rights to subscribe for PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Repurchase of Shares

Subject to Dutch law and the PubCo Articles of Association, PubCo may acquire fully paid-up PubCo shares in the capital of PubCo either for no consideration or under universal title of succession, or against consideration if (i) PubCo’s shareholders’ equity (eigen vermogen) less the acquisition price is not less than the sum of the paid-up and called-up share capital and any reserves to be maintained by Dutch law or the PubCo Articles of Association, (ii) PubCo and its subsidiaries would not thereafter hold shares or hold shares as pledgee with an aggregate nominal

194

Table of Contents

value exceeding 50% of PubCo’s then current issued and outstanding share capital, and (iii) the PubCo board of directors has been designated to do so by the PubCo general meeting. Any acquisition by PubCo of shares in the capital of PubCo that are not fully paid-up shall be null and void.

The authorization to the PubCo board of directors to acquire own PubCo shares in PubCo is valid for a maximum of 18 months. As part of the authorization, the general meeting of PubCo must specify the number of PubCo shares that may be repurchased, the manner in which the PubCo shares may be acquired and the price range within which the PubCo shares may be acquired. The designation of the PubCo board of directors is not required if PubCo acquires fully paid-up PubCo Ordinary Shares for the purpose of transferring these to employees of PubCo or its subsidiaries under any applicable equity compensation plan, provided that those shares are quoted on an official list of a stock exchange.

In addition, PubCo nor its subsidiaries may hold more than one-tenth of its issued share capital for more than three years after it was converted into a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) or after it acquired its own shares (i) for no consideration or (ii) under universal succession of title (algemene titel). Owned PubCo shares pledged by PubCo and its subsidiaries are taken into account in this respect. Any PubCo shares held by PubCo in excess of the amount permitted shall automatically transfer to the directors jointly at the end of the last day of such three-year period. Each director shall be jointly and severally liable to compensate PubCo for the value of the PubCo shares at such time, with interest at the statutory rate thereon from such time. The same applies to the acquisition of PubCo shares for employees of PubCo under any applicable equity compensation plan, provided that those PubCo shares are quoted on an official list of a stock exchange and held by PubCo for more than 1 year after acquisition thereof.

PubCo cannot derive any right to any distribution from PubCo shares, or voting rights attached to PubCo shares acquired by it.

The PubCo general meeting will adopt a resolution prior to the Closing to authorize the PubCo board of directors for a period of 18 months from the Closing, to repurchase PubCo Ordinary Shares representing up to          of PubCo’s issued and outstanding share capital at the time of the repurchase.

Reduction of Share Capital

The PubCo general meeting may resolve to reduce PubCo’s issued and outstanding share capital by reducing the nominal value of shares through amendment of the PubCo Articles of Association, cancelling shares held by the Company itself and cancelling all PubCo Preferred Shares without repayment of their nominal value. A resolution to cancel all issued PubCo Preferred Shares will be subject to the approval of the meeting of holders of PubCo Preferred Shares. Upon the cancellation of all PubCo Preferred Shares, the aggregate nominal value of the PubCo Preferred Shares will be added to the Special Capital Reserve.

A resolution of the PubCo general meeting to reduce the share capital will require a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes cast at a PubCo general meeting if less than half of the issued share capital is represented at the meeting. If half or more of the issued share capital is represented at the meeting, this resolution will be adopted with a simple majority of the votes cast.

In addition, Dutch law contains detailed provisions regarding the reduction of capital. A resolution to reduce the issued and outstanding share capital shall not take effect before a two months creditor opposition period has lapsed.

Transfer of Shares

PubCo Ordinary Shares are, in principle, freely transferable. A transfer of one or more PubCo Preferred Shares is subject to transfer restrictions and can only be effected with due observance of the provisions set out in the PubCo Articles of Association.

In accordance with the provisions of Dutch law and the PubCo Articles of Association, the transfer of PubCo shares or creation of a right of pledge or right of usufruct thereon requires a deed executed for that purpose and, save in the event PubCo itself is a party to such legal act, written acknowledgement by PubCo of the transfer. Service of notice of the deed or of a certified notarial copy or extract of that deed on PubCo will be the equivalent of such acknowledgement.

195

Table of Contents

PubCo shares that have been entered into the electronic book-entry system will be registered in the name of Cede & Co as nominee of DTC, and transfer of beneficial entitlements in shares held in the electronic book-entry system will be effected by electronic bookings. The above-mentioned requirements applicable to a transfer of the shares do not apply to the trading of such beneficial entitlements in shares.

No Liability to Further Capital Calls

All of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares will be fully paid-up and non-assessable.

Discriminating Provisions

There are no provisions in the PubCo Articles of Association that discriminate against a shareholder because of its ownership of a certain number of shares.

Dividends and Other Distributions

Pursuant to Dutch law and the PubCo Articles of Association, the distribution of dividends will take place following the adoption of the annual accounts, from which PubCo will determine whether such distribution is permitted. PubCo may make distributions to its shareholders, whether from profits or from PubCo’s freely distributable reserves, only insofar as PubCo’s shareholders’ equity exceeds the sum of the paid-up and called-up share capital plus any reserves to be maintained by Dutch law or the PubCo Articles of Association.

The PubCo board of directors may resolve to reserve the profits or part of the profits, with due observance of PubCo’s policy on reserves and dividends. Any profits remaining after the reservation referred to in the previous sentence by the PubCo board of directors, will first be applied to allocate and add to the dividend reserve for PubCo Preferred Shares an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate nominal value of all issued and outstanding PubCo Preferred Shares. The profits remaining after application of the preceding sentence will be at the disposal of the PubCo general meeting, which may resolve to add the remaining profits to the reserves or distribute them to the holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares. Distributions of dividends will be made to PubCo’s shareholders in proportion to the nominal value of their PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Subject to Dutch law and the PubCo Articles of Association, the PubCo board of directors or the PubCo general meeting at the proposal of the PubCo board of directors will be allowed to resolve upon interim distributions on PubCo Ordinary Shares. For this purpose, the PubCo board of directors must prepare an interim statement of assets and liabilities. Such interim statement shall show PubCo’s financial position not earlier than on the first day of the third month before the month in which the resolution to make the interim distribution is announced. An interim dividend can only be paid if (i) an interim statement of assets and liabilities is drawn up showing that the funds available for distribution are sufficient, and (ii) PubCo ’s shareholders’ equity exceeds the sum of the paid-up and called-up share capital any reserves to be maintained by Dutch law or the PubCo Articles of Association. Interim distributions will be made in cash, in kind or in the form of PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Holders of PubCo Preferred Shares will not receive any dividends in respect of the PubCo Preferred Shares; however, PubCo will maintain a separate dividend reserve for PubCo Preferred Shares for the sole purpose of the allocation of the mandatory minimal profits that accrue to the PubCo Preferred Shares. Any distribution out of a preferred shares dividend reserve or the partial or full release of any such reserve will require a prior proposal from the PubCo board of directors and a resolution of the meeting of holders of PubCo Preferred Shares, and will be made exclusively to the holders PubCo Preferred Shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of such PubCo Preferred Shares.

Distributions will be payable on the day determined by the PubCo board of directors. Distributions will lapse if the distributions are not claimed within five years and one day following the date when they became payable.

Board of Directors

PubCo Board of Directors Composition

Pursuant to the PubCo Articles of Association, PubCo will have a one-tier board consisting of one or more PubCo executive directors and two or more PubCo non-executive directors. The PubCo board of directors will determine the number of PubCo executive directors and PubCo non-executive directors, provided that the majority of the PubCo board of directors will consist of PubCo non-executive directors.

The PubCo board of directors will initially be composed of seven members, and shall be composed as described in “Board of Directors and Senior Management of PubCo After the Business Combination — Board of Directors of PubCo.”

The PubCo board of directors is the executive and supervisory body of PubCo. It is entrusted with the management of PubCo, supervises the general course of affairs in PubCo and the business affiliated with PubCo and is responsible for the continuity of PubCo. The PubCo board of directors is accountable for these matters to the PubCo general meeting. The PubCo board of directors’ responsibilities include, among other things, developing a view on sustainable long-term value creation by PubCo, determining PubCo’s strategy and risk management policy, appointing and dismissing the senior internal auditor, annual assessment of the way in which the internal audit function fulfils its responsibility and approving the audit plan drawn up by the internal audit function, ensuring compliance with legislation and regulations and the corporate governance structure of PubCo, publishing the corporate structure of PubCo and any other information required under the Dutch Civil Code. The PubCo board of directors may allocate its duties and powers among the PubCo directors and the committees of the PubCo board of directors in accordance with the PubCo board regulations or otherwise in writing.

The PubCo executive directors will primarily be responsible for all day-to-day operations of PubCo. The PubCo non-executive directors will, among others, supervise (i) the PubCo executive directors’ policy and performance of duties and (ii) PubCo’s general affairs and its business, and will render advice and direction to the PubCo executive directors. The PubCo non-executive directors will furthermore perform any duties allocated to them under or pursuant to Dutch law or the PubCo Articles of Association. The PubCo executive directors will timely provide the PubCo non-executive directors will the information they need to carry out their duties.

The PubCo board of directors may further allocate its duties and powers among the directors pursuant to the PubCo board regulations or otherwise in writing, provided that the following duties and powers may not be allocated to the executive directors:

        supervising the performance of the PubCo non-executive directors;

        making a nomination for the appointment of PubCo directors, as set out in the PubCo Articles of Association;

         determining a PubCo executive director’s remuneration; and

        instructing an auditor, if the PubCo general meeting fails to do so.

The PubCo board of directors may determine pursuant to the PubCo board regulations or otherwise in writing that one or more PubCo directors can lawfully adopt resolutions concerning matters belonging to their duties within the meaning of Section 2:129a(3) of the Dutch Civil Code.

Each director has a duty to PubCo to properly perform its duties. In the performance of their tasks, the directors shall be guided by the interests of PubCo and the enterprise connected with it. Under Dutch law, the interests of PubCo and the enterprise connected with it extend to the interests of all stakeholders, such as shareholders, creditors, employees, customers and suppliers.

The PubCo board of directors shall designate a non-executive director as Chair of the board of directors (voorzitter) under Dutch law. The PubCo board of directors may in its discretion grant one of the non-executive directors the title Vice Chairman.

Table of Contents

Nomination and Appointment

PubCo directors will be appointed by the PubCo general meeting on a binding nomination by the PubCo board of directors, provided that two non-executive directors shall be appointed on a binding designation by the Sponsor. The PubCo general meeting will at all times be allowed to overrule a binding nomination for the appointment of a PubCo Director by a majority of not less than two thirds (2/3) of the votes cast, representing          of the issued capital of the Company. If the nomination comprises one candidate for a vacancy, a resolution concerning the nomination shall result in the appointment of the candidate, unless the nomination is overruled. If the binding nomination for appointment of a director is overruled, a new binding nomination may be made.

Term of Office; Suspension; Dismissal

Each director shall be appointed for a maximum period of four years, provided that his term of office shall lapse immediately after the close of the annual general meeting of PubCo held in the fourth year after his appointment. A director may be reappointed with due observance of the preceding sentence. A non-executive director may be in office for a period not exceeding twelve years, which period may or may not be interrupted, unless at the proposal of the board of directors of PubCo the general meeting of PubCo resolves otherwise.

PubCo’s general meeting may at all times suspend or dismiss any director. A resolution of the PubCo general meeting to suspend or dismiss a director other than at the proposal of the PubCo board of directors requires a two-thirds majority of the votes cast. The PubCo board of directors may at all times suspend an executive director.

Conflict of Interest

A PubCo director shall not participate in deliberations and the decision-making process in the event of a direct or indirect personal conflict of interest between that director and PubCo and the enterprise connected with it, or in the event of being involved in a related party transaction within the meaning of Dutch law. If the PubCo board of directors is unable to adopt a resolution as a result of all directors being unable to participate in the deliberations and decision-making process due to such a conflict of interest, or due to all directors being involved in such a related party transaction, the decision shall nevertheless be taken by the PubCo board of directors.

If a director does not comply with the provisions on conflicts of interest, the resolution concerned is subject to nullification and the director may be held liable towards PubCo. This nullification, however, only has internal effect and does not affect the external representation.

Liability of Directors

Pursuant to Dutch law, each PubCo director may be held jointly and severally liable to PubCo for damages in the event of improper or negligent performance of his or her duties. Furthermore, PubCo directors may be held liable to third parties based on tort pursuant to certain provisions of the Dutch Civil Code. All PubCo directors will be jointly and severally liable for failure of one or more co-directors. An individual PubCo director will only be exempt from liability if he or she proves that he or she cannot be held culpable for the mismanagement and that he or she has not been negligent in seeking to prevent the consequences of the mismanagement. In this regard a PubCo director may, however, refer to the allocation of tasks among the PubCo directors. In certain circumstances, including in the event of bankruptcy of the company, directors may incur additional specific civil and criminal liabilities.

Board Regulations

Pursuant to the PubCo Articles of Association, the PubCo board of directors shall adopt regulations dealing with its internal organization, the manner in which decisions are taken, the composition, the duties and organization of committees of the PubCo board of directors and any other matters concerning the PubCo board of directors, PubCo directors and committees established by the PubCo board of directors.

Decision-making

Pursuant to the PubCo board regulations, the PubCo board of directors will strive to adopt its resolutions by unanimous vote. If this is not possible, resolutions will be adopted by a majority of votes cast, unless provided otherwise by the PubCo board regulations. In the event of a tied vote, the proposal will be rejected, unless the PubCo board regulations provide otherwise. Each PubCo director shall have one vote.

198

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the PubCo board regulations, the PubCo board of directors will only adopt resolutions at a meeting if the majority of the directors entitled to vote is present or represented at the meeting.

If the Chair of the board of directors believes there is an urgent situation that requires an immediate resolution by the PubCo board of directors, he or she may decide that the aforementioned quorum requirement does not apply provided that (i) at least two directors entitled to vote are present or represented at the meeting including at least one executive director (if any such executive director is entitled to vote on the matters being considered), and (ii) reasonable efforts have been made to involve the other directors in the decision-making.

The PubCo Articles of Association and Dutch law provide that resolutions of the PubCo board of directors regarding a significant change in PubCo’s identity or nature or the enterprise connected with it are subject to the approval of the PubCo general meeting. Such resolutions include in any event: (i) the transfer of the business enterprise of PubCo or practically the entire business enterprise of PubCo to a third party; (ii) concluding or cancelling a long-lasting cooperation of PubCo or a subsidiary with another legal entity or company or as a fully liable partner in a partnership, provided that the cooperation or cancellation is of material significance to PubCo; and (iii) acquiring or disposing of a participating interest in the share capital of a company with a value of at least one-third of PubCo’s assets, as shown in the balance sheet with explanatory notes according to the last adopted annual accounts, by PubCo or a subsidiary.

The PubCo board of directors may also adopt resolutions outside of a meeting, provided that such resolutions are recorded in writing or otherwise and that none of the PubCo directors entitled to vote objects to this manner of decision-making.

Meetings of the PubCo board of directors may be held by means of an assembly of PubCo directors in person or by telephone, video conference or any other means of electronic communication, provided that all PubCo directors participating in such meetings are able to communicate with each other simultaneously.

Representation

The PubCo board of directors as a whole and any PubCo executive director acting individually will be authorized to represent PubCo. The PubCo board of directors may appoint officers with general or limited power to represent PubCo.

Each officer shall be competent to represent PubCo, subject to the restrictions imposed on him. The PubCo board of directors shall determine each officer’s title. Such officers may be registered with the Dutch trade register, indicating the scope of their power to represent PubCo.

Indemnification of PubCo directors and officers

Pursuant to the PubCo Articles of Association, PubCo shall indemnify each current or former PubCo director in any anticipated or pending action, suit, proceeding or investigation for any claim against that PubCo director that such PubCo director may derive from exercising his respective duties as a PubCo director for any and all:

        costs and expenses, including but not limited to substantiated attorneys’ fees, reasonably incurred in relation to that PubCo director’s defences in the relevant action, suit, proceeding or investigation or a settlement thereof;

        liabilities, losses, damages, fines, penalties and other claims and/or financial effects of judgements against that PubCo director, excluding any reputational damages and (other) immaterial damages; and

        payments by that PubCo director and/or any other financial effects resulting from a settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, excluding any reputational damages and (other) immaterial damages, subject to prior written approval of such settlement by PubCo (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld),

provided he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of PubCo or out of his mandate, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

199

Table of Contents

Any indemnification by PubCo pursuant to the PubCo Articles Association described above (i) shall be made only upon a determination by the PubCo board of directors that indemnification of the PubCo director is proper under the circumstances because he had met the applicable standard of conduct set forth above, and (ii) may be paid by PubCo in advance of the final disposition of the relevant anticipated or pending action, suit or proceeding against that PubCo director, upon a resolution of the PubCo board of directors with respect to the specific case.

A PubCo director, current or former, shall not be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to the PubCo Articles of Association, if and to the extent:

        a competent court, a judicial tribunal or, in case of an arbitration, an arbitrator or arbitral panel has established by final judgement that is not open to challenge or appeal, that the acts or omissions of the current or former PubCo director can be considered intentional, willfully reckless or seriously culpable, unless this would in the given circumstances be unacceptable according to the standards of reasonableness and fairness;

        the costs or the decrease in assets of the current or former PubCo director are/is covered by an insurance and the insurer started payment of the costs or the decrease in assets; or

        PubCo and/or a company in the group brought the procedure in question up before the relevant court, judicial tribunal or, in case of an arbitration, arbitrator or arbitral panel,

in which event he shall immediately repay any amount paid to him (in advance, as the case may be) by PubCo in connection with the indemnification described herein.

This indemnification by PubCo will not be exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled otherwise.

Vacancies and Inability

If the seat of an PubCo executive director is vacant or upon the inability of an PubCo executive director, the remaining PubCo executive directors will temporarily be entrusted with the executive management of PubCo, provided that the PubCo board of directors can temporarily fill vacancies without requiring a shareholder vote.

If the seats of all PubCo executive directors are vacant or upon the inability of all PubCo executive directors, the executive management of PubCo shall temporarily be entrusted to the PubCo non-executive directors, provided that the PubCo board of directors may provide for one or more temporary replacements.

If the seat of a PubCo non-executive director is vacant or upon inability of a PubCo non-executive director, the remaining PubCo non-executive directors shall temporarily be entrusted with the performance of the duties and the exercise of the authorities of that PubCo non-executive director, provided that the PubCo board of directors may provide for a temporary replacement. If the seats of all PubCo non-executive directors are vacant or upon inability of all PubCo non-executive directors, the PubCo general meeting shall be authorized to temporarily entrust the performance of the duties and the exercise of the authorities of the PubCo non-executive directors to one or more other individuals.

With regard to the above, pursuant to the PubCo Articles of Association, a PubCo director shall in any event be unable to act: (i) during the period for which the PubCo director has claimed inability in writing, (ii) during the PubCo director’s suspension, or (iii) during periods when PubCo has not been able to contact the PubCo director (including as a result of illness), provided that such period lasted longer than five consecutive days (or such other period as reasonably determined by the PubCo board of directors).

PubCo General Meetings

PubCo general meetings will be held in Amsterdam, Rotterdam or Haarlemmermeer (including Schiphol Airport), the Netherlands. The annual PubCo general meeting shall be held no later than six months after the end of the financial year on the date and at the place mentioned in the convocation notice. Additional extraordinary PubCo general meetings may also be held whenever considered appropriate by the PubCo board of directors or the Chair of the board of directors. Pursuant to Dutch law, one or more shareholders and/or persons with meeting right, who solely or jointly represent at least 10% of the issued and outstanding share capital, may request the PubCo board of directors in writing to convene a PubCo general meeting. If the PubCo board of directors has not taken the steps

200

Table of Contents

necessary to ensure that such meeting can be held within 6 weeks after the request, the requesting shareholder(s) and or other persons with meeting rights may at their request be authorized by the competent Dutch court in preliminary relief proceedings to convene a PubCo general meeting. The court shall refuse the application if it does not appear that the applicant(s) has/have previously requested the PubCo board of directors to convene a PubCo general meeting and the PubCo board of directors has not taken the necessary steps so that the PubCo general meeting could be held within 6 weeks after the request. Such a request to the PubCo board of directors is subject to certain additional requirements. Additionally, the applicant must have a reasonable interest in the meeting being held.

PubCo general meetings shall be convened by a notice, which shall include an agenda stating the items to be discussed, including for the annual PubCo general meeting, among other things, the discussion and adoption of the annual accounts, appropriation of PubCo’s profits, and proposals relating to the PubCo board of directors, including the appointment or re-appointment of PubCo directors and the filling of any vacancies in the PubCo board of directors. In addition, the agenda shall include such items as have been included therein by the PubCo board of directors.

One or more shareholders, alone or together, representing at least 3% of the issued and outstanding share capital may also request to include items in the agenda of a PubCo general meeting. Requests must be made in writing and received by the PubCo board of directors at least 60 days before the day of the meeting. No resolutions shall be adopted on items other than those which have been included in the agenda. In accordance with the DCGC, a shareholder may only request the inclusion of an item on the agenda after consulting the PubCo board of directors in that respect. If one or more shareholders intend to request that an item be put on the agenda that may result in a change in PubCo’s strategy, the PubCo board of directors must be given the opportunity to invoke a reasonable period to respond to such intention. Such period shall not exceed 180 days (or such other period as may be stipulated for such purpose by Dutch law and/or the DCGC from time to time). If invoked, the PubCo board of directors must use such response period for further deliberation and constructive consultation, in any event with the shareholders(s) concerned, and must explore the alternatives. At the end of the response time, the PubCo board of directors must report on this consultation and the exploration of alternatives to the PubCo general meeting. The response period may be invoked only once for any given general meeting and shall not apply: (a) in respect of a matter for which a response period has been previously invoked; or (b) if a shareholder holds at least 75% of PubCo’s issued share capital as a consequence of a successful public bid. The response period may also be invoked in response to shareholders or others with meeting rights under Dutch law requesting that a PubCo general meeting be convened, as described above.

In addition, a statutory response time, similar to the aforementioned response time under the DCGC, but with a maximum of 250 days applies in the Netherlands. According to this statutory rule, the cooling-off period could be invoked by the PubCo board of directors in the event:

         shareholders, using either their shareholder proposal right or their right to request a PubCo general meeting, propose an agenda item for the PubCo general meeting to dismiss, suspend or appoint a PubCo director (or to amend any provision in the PubCo Articles of Association dealing with those matters); or

         a public offer for PubCo has been announced or made without agreement having been reached with PubCo on such offer,

provided, in each case, that in the opinion of the PubCo board of directors such proposal or offer materially conflicts with the interests of PubCo and its business.

The cooling-off period, if invoked, ends upon the earliest of the following events:

        the expiration of 250 days from:

        in case of shareholders using their shareholder proposal right, the day after the deadline for making such proposal for the next PubCo general meeting has expired;

        in case of shareholders using their right to request a PubCo general meeting, the day when they obtain court authorization to do so; or

        in case of a public offer as described above being made without agreement having been reached with PubCo on such offer, the first following day;

201

Table of Contents

        the day after a public offer without agreement having been reached with PubCo on such offer, having been declared unconditional; or

        the PubCo board of directors deciding to end the cooling-off period earlier.

In addition, one or more shareholders that may (jointly) exercise the shareholder proposal right at the time that the cooling-off period is invoked, may request the Enterprise Chamber (Ondernemingskamer) of the Amsterdam Court of Appeals (Gerechtshof Amsterdam) for early termination of the cooling-off period. The Enterprise Chamber must rule in favor of the request if the shareholders can demonstrate that:

        the PubCo board of directors, in light of the circumstances at hand when the cooling-off period was invoked, could not reasonably have come to the conclusion that the relevant shareholder proposal or hostile offer constituted a material conflict with the interests of PubCo and its business;

        the PubCo board of directors cannot reasonably believe that a continuation of the cooling-off period would contribute to careful policy-making;

        if other defensive measures, having the same purpose, nature and scope as the cooling-off period, have been activated during the cooling-off period and are not terminated or suspended at the relevant shareholders’ written request within a reasonable period following the request (i.e., no ‘stacking’ of defensive measures).

During the cooling-off period, if invoked, the PubCo must gather all relevant information necessary for a careful decision-making process. In this context, the PubCo board of directors must at least consult with shareholders representing at least 3% of PubCo’s issued share capital at the time the cooling-off period was invoked and with the PubCo’s works council (if applicable). Formal statements expressed by these stakeholders during such consultations must be published on PubCo’s website to the extent these stakeholders have approved that publication.

Ultimately one week following the last day of the cooling-off period, the PubCo board of directors must publish a report in respect of its policy and conduct of affairs during the cooling-off period on the PubCo website. This report must also remain available for inspection by PubCo’s shareholders and others with meeting rights under Dutch law at PubCo’s office and must be tabled for discussion at the next general meeting.

The PubCo general meeting is presided over by the Chair of the board of directors or another director designated for that purpose by the board of directors. The PubCo directors may attend a PubCo general meeting in person or by electronic means of communication. The chairperson of the meeting may decide at his or her discretion to admit other persons to the meeting.

The external auditor of PubCo may attend the annual PubCo general meeting in which the annual accounts are discussed.

Record Date

When convening a PubCo general meeting, the PubCo board of directors will be allowed to determine that persons with the right to vote or attend such meeting will be considered those persons who have these rights at the 28th day prior to the date of the meeting (the “PubCo Record Date”) and are registered as such in a register to be designated by the PubCo board of directors for such purpose, regardless of whether they will have these rights at the date of the meeting. In order for a person to be able to attend a PubCo general meeting and to have the right to vote in such meeting, such person must notify PubCo in writing of his or her intention to do so no later than on the day and in the manner mentioned in the convocation notice for the PubCo general meeting.

Voting Rights and Quorum at PubCo General Meetings

Pursuant to the PubCo Articles of Association, the PubCo shareholders will have one vote for each PubCo Ordinary Share and the PubCo shareholders will have ten thousand votes for each PubCo Preferred Share. No votes may be cast at a PubCo general meeting on shares held by PubCo or PubCo’s subsidiaries. Nonetheless, the holders of a right of usufruct in respect of PubCo Ordinary Shares are not excluded from the right to vote on such shares, if the right of usufruct or the right of pledge was granted prior to the time such share was acquired by PubCo or any of PubCo’s subsidiaries. PubCo may not cast votes on shares in respect of which PubCo or a subsidiary holds a

202

Table of Contents

right of usufruct or a right of pledge. PubCo Ordinary Shares which are not entitled to voting rights pursuant to the preceding sentences will not be taken into account for the purpose of determining the number of shares on which votes may be cast, or the amount of the share capital that is present or represented at a PubCo general meeting. Unless Dutch law or the PubCo Articles of Association state otherwise, all resolutions adopted at the PubCo general meeting will be adopted with a simple majority of the votes cast.

Under the PubCo Articles of Association no quorum requirement applies to the PubCo general meeting. Certain resolutions can only be adopted by a (enhanced) majority of the votes, representing a certain part of the issued share capital.

Pursuant to Dutch law, when determining the extent to which shareholders vote, are present or represented, or the extent to which the share capital is present or represented, no account shall be taken of shares in respect of which the law or the PubCo Articles of Association provide that no votes maybe cast.

Meetings of Holders of Shares of a Specific Class

Meetings of holders of shares of a specific class will be held whenever the PubCo board of directors calls such meetings.

Meetings of holders of shares of a specific class may be convened no later than on the sixth day before the day of such meeting. The provisions applicable to PubCo general meetings, except those concerning the frequency, notice period and the PubCo Record Date, will apply mutatis mutandis to the meetings of holders of shares of a specific class. See “— Voting Rights and Quorum at PubCo General Meetings.

Financial Statements and Independent Auditor

PubCo’s financial year will coincide with the calendar year. Annually, within the term set by law (which is currently four months after the end of the financial year), the PubCo board of directors shall prepare the financial statements. The financial statements must be accompanied by a statement of the auditor, the management report, and the additional information to the extent that this information is required. All PubCo directors are required to sign the financial statements and in case the signature of any member is missing, the reason for this must be stated.

The annual accounts are to be adopted by the PubCo general meeting. The financial statements, the management report and independent auditor’s report will be made available at PubCo’s address to the shareholders for review as from the day of the notice convening the PubCo general meeting at which they are discussed.

Amendments to the PubCo Articles of Association

A resolution of the PubCo general meeting to amend the PubCo Articles of Association may only be adopted by the PubCo general meeting at the proposal of the PubCo board of directors. The rights of shareholders may be changed only by amending the PubCo Articles of Association in compliance with Dutch law. A resolution regarding the amendment of the PubCo Articles of Association will require a simple majority of the votes cast.

Dissolution and Liquidation

PubCo may only be dissolved by a resolution of the PubCo general meeting at the proposal of the PubCo board of directors. If a resolution to dissolve PubCo is to be submitted to the PubCo general meeting, this must in all cases be stated in the convocation notice for the relevant PubCo general meeting. If the PubCo general meeting resolves to dissolve PubCo, the members of the PubCo board of directors will be charged with the liquidation of the business of PubCo, unless the PubCo general meeting resolves otherwise at the proposal of the PubCo board of directors. During liquidation, the provisions of the PubCo Articles of Association will remain in force as long as possible.

The balance remaining after payment of the debts of PubCo following its dissolution shall be transferred to the PubCo shareholders pro rata in proportion to the number of PubCo shares held by each PubCo shareholder, provided that and with observance of the following order of priority: an amount equal to the nominal value of PubCo Preferred Shares shall first be transferred on each PubCo Preferred Share to the holders of the PubCo Preferred Shares.

Squeeze Out

Pursuant to article 2:92a of the Dutch Civil Code, a shareholder who, for his or her own account, holds at least 95% of PubCo’s issued and outstanding share capital may initiate proceedings against the other shareholders jointly for the transfer of their shares to the claimant. The proceedings are held before the Dutch Enterprise Chamber (Ondernemingskamer) and can be instituted by means of a writ of summons served upon each of the minority shareholders in accordance with the provisions of the Dutch Code of Civil procedure (Wetboek van Burgerlijke Rechtsvordering). The Dutch Enterprise Chamber may grant the claim for the squeeze-out in relation to all minority shareholders and will determine the price to be paid for the shares, if necessary after appointment of one to three expert(s) who will offer an opinion to the Dutch Enterprise Chamber on the value to be paid for the shares of the minority shareholders. Once the order to transfer becomes final before the Dutch Enterprise Chamber, the person acquiring the shares must give written notice of the date and place of payment and the price to the holders of the shares to be acquired whose addresses are known to him or her. Unless the addresses of all of them are known to the acquiring person, such person is required to publish the same in a Dutch national daily newspaper.

Cross-border restructuring

Dutch law provides that, to the extent the acquiring company in a cross-border merger or a cross-border demerger is organized under the laws of another European Economic Area member state, a shareholder of a non-surviving Dutch company who has voted against the cross-border merger or the cross-border demerger (as applicable) may make a claim with the Dutch company for compensation. The compensation is to be determined by one or more independent experts, subject to certain exceptions. The aforementioned also applies in case of a cross-border conversion.

Financial Reporting under Dutch Law

The Dutch Financial Reporting Supervision Act (Wet toezicht financiële verslaggeving, the “FRSA”), applies to PubCo’s financial reporting. Under the FRSA, the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (Autoriteit Financiële Markten, “AFM”) supervises the application of financial reporting standards by, among others, companies whose corporate seats are in the Netherlands and whose securities are listed on a regulated market within the EU or on an equivalent third (non-EU) country market.

Pursuant to the FRSA, the AFM has an independent right to (i) request an explanation from PubCo regarding the application of the applicable financial reporting standards if, based on publicly known facts or circumstances, it has reason to doubt PubCo’s financial reporting meets such standards and (ii) recommend to PubCo that it makes available further explanations. If PubCo does not comply with such a request or recommendation, the AFM may request that the Dutch Enterprise Chamber orders PubCo to (i) provide an explanation on the way it has applied the applicable financial reporting standards to its financial reports or (ii) prepare its financial reports in accordance with the Dutch Enterprise Chamber’s instructions.

Certain Insider Trading and Market Manipulation Laws

Dutch law contains rules intended to prevent insider trading and market manipulation.

On July 3, 2016, the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 16, 2014 (the “MAR”) replaced all of the Dutch market abuse rules. The MAR does not apply to PubCo or to the PubCo Ordinary Shares as the PubCo Ordinary Shares will solely be listed on the Nasdaq, a stock exchange outside the European Economic Area. As a result, there are no EU rules or Dutch rules applicable to PubCo relating to market abuse, such as insider trading, tipping, market manipulation and notification rules for director dealings.

Exchange Controls

Under Dutch law, there are no exchange control restrictions on investments in, or payments on, the PubCo Ordinary Shares. There are no special restrictions in the PubCo Articles of Association or Dutch law that limit the right of shareholders who are not citizens or residents of the Netherlands to hold or vote the PubCo Ordinary Shares.

COMPARISON OF SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

This section describes the material differences between the rights of GSR III shareholders before the consummation of the Business Combination, and the rights of PubCo shareholders after the Business Combination. These differences in shareholder rights result from the differences between Cayman Islands and Dutch law and the respective governing documents of GSR III and PubCo.

Rights of GSR III Shareholders

 

Rights of PubCo Shareholders

Authorized Capital

GSR III is authorized to issue 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value each, 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value each, and 1,000,000 undesignated preference shares, $0.0001 par value each. As of December 31, 2024, there were 23,422,500 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, and 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share issued and outstanding.

 

The PubCo Articles of Association will provide for an authorized share capital of €        , divided into (i)          PubCo Ordinary Shares with a nominal value of €0.01 each, and          PubCo Preferred Shares with a nominal value of €100.00 each.

Voting Rights

The GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that the holders of shares of GSR III shall have one vote for every share of which they are the holder on each matter properly submitted to the shareholders on which the holders are entitled to vote.

 

Pursuant to the PubCo Articles of Association, the PubCo shareholders will have one vote for each PubCo Ordinary Share and the PubCo shareholders will have ten thousand votes for each PubCo Preferred Share.

Appraisal/Dissenters’ Rights

Under certain circumstances, shareholders may dissent to a merger of a Cayman Islands company by following the procedure set out in the Cayman Islands Companies Act. Where dissenter rights apply, dissenters to a merger are entitled to receive a judicially determined fair market value for their shares.

 

The concept of appraisal or dissenters’ rights does not exist under Dutch law. However, Dutch law does provide for squeeze-out procedures as described under “Description of PubCo Securities — Squeeze-out”.

Furthermore, Dutch law provides that, to the extent the acquiring company in a cross-border merger or a cross-border demerger is organized under the laws of another European Economic Area member state, a shareholder of a non-surviving Dutch company who has voted against the cross-border merger or the cross-border demerger (as applicable) may make a claim with the Dutch company for compensation. The compensation is to be determined by one or more independent experts, subject to certain exceptions. The aforementioned also applies in case of a cross-border conversion.

Dividends

The directors of GSR III may resolve to pay dividends and other distributions on shares in issue and authorize payment of the dividends or other distributions. Dividends may be paid out of profits, share premium, which represents the excess of the price paid to GSR III on the issue of its shares over the par or “nominal” value of those shares or any other sources permitted under Cayman Islands law. However, no dividends may be paid if, after payment, GSR III would not be able to pay its debts as they come due in the ordinary course of business.

 

PubCo may make distributions to its shareholders, whether from profits or from PubCo’s freely distributable reserves, only insofar as PubCo’s shareholders’ equity exceeds the sum of the paid-up and called-up share capital plus any reserves to be maintained by Dutch law or the PubCo Articles of Association.

205

Table of Contents

Rights of GSR III Shareholders

 

Rights of PubCo Shareholders

   

The PubCo board of directors may resolve to reserve the profits or part of the profits, with due observance of PubCo’s policy on reserves and dividends. Any profits remaining after the reservation referred to in the previous sentence by the PubCo board of directors will first be applied to allocate and add to the dividend reserve for PubCo Preferred Shares an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate nominal value of all issued and outstanding PubCo Preferred Shares. The profits remaining after application of the preceding sentence will be at the disposal of the PubCo general meeting, which may resolve to add the remaining profits to the reserves or distribute them to the holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares. Distributions of dividends will be made to PubCo’s shareholders in proportion to the nominal value of their PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Subject to Dutch law and the PubCo Articles of Association, the PubCo board of directors or the PubCo general meeting at the proposal of the PubCo board of directors will be allowed to resolve upon interim distributions on PubCo Ordinary Shares. For this purpose, the PubCo board of directors must prepare an interim statement of assets and liabilities. Such interim statement shall show PubCo’s financial position not earlier than on the first day of the third month before the month in which the resolution to make the interim distribution is announced. An interim dividend can only be paid if (i) an interim statement of assets and liabilities is drawn up showing that the funds available for distribution are sufficient, and (ii) PubCo ’s shareholders’ equity exceeds the sum of the paid-up and called-up share capital any reserves to be maintained by Dutch law or the PubCo Articles of Association. Interim distributions will be made in cash, in kind or in the form of PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Holders of PubCo Preferred Shares will not receive any dividends in respect of the PubCo Preferred Shares; however, PubCo will maintain a separate dividend reserve for PubCo Preferred Shares for the sole purpose of the allocation of the mandatory minimal profits that accrue to the PubCo Preferred Shares. Any distribution out of a preferred shares dividend reserve or the partial or full release of any such reserve will require a prior proposal from the PubCo board of directors and a resolution of the meeting of holders of PubCo Preferred Shares, and will be made exclusively to the holders PubCo Preferred Shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of such PubCo Preferred Shares.

Rights of PubCo Shareholders

Purchase and Repurchase of Shares

Subject to the Companies Act, the GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, or applicable stock exchange or other regulatory rules, GSR III may purchase its own shares (including any redeemable shares) in such manner and on such other terms as the directors determine at the time of such purchase.

 

Subject to Dutch law and the PubCo Articles of Association, PubCo may acquire fully paid-up PubCo shares in the capital of PubCo either for no consideration or under universal title of succession, or against consideration if (i) PubCo’s shareholders’ equity (eigen vermogen) less the acquisition price is not less than the sum of the paid-up and called-up share capital and any reserves to be maintained by Dutch law or the PubCo Articles of Association, (ii) PubCo and its subsidiaries would not thereafter hold shares or hold shares as pledgee with an aggregate nominal value exceeding 50% of PubCo’s then current issued and outstanding share capital, and (iii) the PubCo board of directors has been designated to do so by the PubCo general meeting. Any acquisition by PubCo of shares in the capital of PubCo that are not fully paid-up shall be null and void.

The authorization to the PubCo board of directors to acquire own PubCo shares in PubCo is valid for a maximum of 18 months. As part of the authorization, the general meeting of PubCo must specify the number of PubCo shares that may be repurchased, the manner in which the PubCo shares may be acquired and the price range within which the PubCo shares may be acquired. The designation of the PubCo board of directors is not required if PubCo acquires fully paid-up PubCo Ordinary Shares for the purpose of transferring these to employees of PubCo or its subsidiaries under any applicable equity compensation plan, provided that those shares are quoted on an official list of a stock exchange.

As part of the authorization, the general meeting of PubCo must specify the number of PubCo shares that may be repurchased, the manner in which the PubCo shares may be acquired and the price range within which the PubCo shares may be acquired.

In addition, PubCo nor its subsidiaries may hold more than one-tenth of its issued share capital for more than three years after it was converted into a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) or after it acquired its own shares (i) for no consideration or (ii) under universal succession of title (algemene titel). Owned PubCo shares pledged by PubCo and its subsidiaries are taken into account in this respect. Any PubCo shares held by PubCo in excess of the amount permitted shall automatically transfer to the directors jointly at the end of the last day of such three-year period. Each director shall be jointly and severally liable to compensate PubCo for the value of the PubCo shares at such time, with interest at the statutory rate thereon from such time. The same applies to the acquisition of PubCo shares for employees of PubCo under any applicable equity compensation plan, provided that those PubCo shares are quoted on an official list of a stock exchange and held by PubCo for more than 1 year after acquisition thereof.

PubCo cannot derive any right to any distribution from PubCo shares, or voting rights attached to PubCo shares acquired by it.

Redemption Rights

Upon consummation of the initial business combination, the GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides holders of the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares with the opportunity to redeem their GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares 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 consummation of the initial business combination, including interest on the funds held in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then-outstanding GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares provided that GSR III shall not repurchase GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares in an amount that would cause GSR III’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.

 

Holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Preferred Shares will have no redemption rights.

If GSR III seeks to amend any provision of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that would affect the substance or timing of GSR III’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shareholders’ GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares if GSR III has not consummated an initial business combination within 18 months after the date of the closing of the GSR III IPO (or up to 21 months at the discretion of the Sponsor), GSR III must provide public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with such vote. GSR III will redeem the public shareholders’ GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares and liquidate if it does not complete a business combination by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor). After consummation of the initial business combination, holders of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares are not entitled to redemption rights with respect to their GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares.

   

Pre-emptive Rights

None.

 

Under Dutch law and the PubCo Articles of Association, each PubCo shareholder will have a pre-emption right in proportion to the aggregate amount of its PubCo Ordinary Shares upon the issuance of new PubCo Ordinary Shares or the granting of rights to subscribe for PubCo Ordinary Shares, subject to certain exemptions.

Holders of PubCo Preferred Shares will not have pre-emptive rights to acquire newly issued PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Preferred Shares and no pre-emptive rights will exist with respect to the issue of PubCo Preferred Shares.

Amendments to Governing Documents

Amendment of any provision of the GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association requires a special resolution, meaning a resolution passed by holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares that are entitled to vote and that vote in a general meeting. Sponsor and GSR III’s executive officers and directors have agreed that they will not propose any amendment to the GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that would affect the substance or timing of GSR III’s obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if GSR III does not complete its initial business combination by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor) (24 months after the closing of the GSR III IPO), unless GSR III provides public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares upon approval of any such amendment. The provisions of the GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association relating to the election of directors prior to the business combination may only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least 90% of such holders of then outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, voting together as a single class, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at a general meeting of which notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution has been given, or by way of unanimous written resolution. GSR III may, by a vote of a majority of the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares voted:

 

The PubCo general meeting may resolve to amend the PubCo Articles of Association at the proposal of the PubCo board of directors. The rights of shareholders may be changed only by amending the PubCo Articles of Association in compliance with Dutch law. A resolution regarding the amendment of the PubCo Articles of Association will require a simple majority of the votes cast.

   Increase its share capital;

   Consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into shares of larger amount;

   Convert all or any of its paid-up shares into stock, and reconvert that stock into paid-up shares of any denomination;

   By subdivision of its existing shares or any of them divide the whole or any part of its share capital into shares of smaller amount than is fixed by the memorandum of GSR III or into shares without par value; and

   Cancel any shares that have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person.

   

In all other instances, the GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may be amended by a special resolution of holders of two-thirds of the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares voted or by unanimous written consent of all holders entitled to vote.

Classes of Directors

The GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide the directors shall be divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. The number of directors in each class shall be as nearly equal as possible.

Commencing at GSR III’s first annual general meeting, and at each annual general meeting thereafter, directors appointed to succeed those directors whose terms expire shall be appointed for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual general meeting after their appointment. All directors are to hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been appointed and qualified.

PubCo’s general meeting may at all times suspend or dismiss any director. A resolution of the PubCo general meeting to suspend or dismiss a director other than at the proposal of the PubCo board of directors requires a two-thirds majority of the votes cast.

In the case of an equality of votes, the chairperson shall have a second or casting vote. A resolution in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed by all the directors or all the members of a committee of the directors or, in the case of a resolution in writing relating to the removal of any director or the vacation of office by any director, all of the directors other than the director who is the subject of such resolution shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the directors, or committee of directors as the case may be, duly convened and held.

Annual Shareholders’ Meetings

The GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that all matters be determined by the vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by the shareholders present in person, participating by conference telephone, or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, unless the matter is one upon which, by applicable law, the GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Cayman Islands Company Act or applicable stock exchange rules, a different vote is required, in which case such provision governs and controls the decision of such matter.

 

PubCo general meetings will be held in Amsterdam, Rotterdam or Haarlemmermeer (including Schiphol Airport), the Netherlands. The annual PubCo general meeting shall be held no later than six months after the end of the financial year on the date and at the place mentioned in the convocation notice.

Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meetings

The GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that all general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings.

The court shall refuse the application if it does not appear that the applicant(s) has/have previously requested the PubCo board of directors to convene a PubCo general meeting and the PubCo board of directors has not taken the necessary steps so that the PubCo general meeting could be held within 6 weeks after the request. Such a request to the PubCo board of directors is subject to certain additional requirements. Additionally, the applicant must have a reasonable interest in the meeting being held.

Rights of PubCo Shareholders

   

PubCo general meetings shall be convened by a notice, which shall include an agenda stating the items to be discussed, including for the annual PubCo general meeting, among other things, the discussion and adoption of the annual accounts, appropriation of PubCo’s profits, and proposals relating to the PubCo board of directors, including the appointment or re-appointment of PubCo directors and the filling of any vacancies in the PubCo board of directors. In addition, the agenda shall include such items as have been included therein by the PubCo board of directors.

One or more shareholders, alone or together, representing at least 3% of the issued and outstanding share capital may also request to include items in the agenda of a PubCo general meeting. Requests must be made in writing and received by the PubCo board of directors at least 60 days before the day of the meeting. No resolutions shall be adopted on items other than those which have been included in the agenda. In accordance with the DCGC, a shareholder may only request the inclusion of an item on the agenda after consulting the PubCo board of directors in that respect. If one or more shareholders intend to request that an item be put on the agenda that may result in a change in PubCo’s strategy, the PubCo board of directors must be given the opportunity to invoke a reasonable period to respond to such intention. Such period shall not exceed 180 days (or such other period as may be stipulated for such purpose by Dutch law and/or the DCGC from time to time). If invoked, the PubCo board of directors must use such response period for further deliberation and constructive consultation, in any event with the shareholders(s) concerned, and must explore the alternatives. At the end of the response time, the PubCo board of directors must report on this consultation and the exploration of alternatives to the PubCo general meeting. The response period may be invoked only once for any given general meeting and shall not apply: (a) in respect of a matter for which a response period has been previously invoked; or (b) if a shareholder holds at least 75% of PubCo’s issued share capital as a consequence of a successful public bid. The response period may also be invoked in response to shareholders or others with meeting rights under Dutch law requesting that a PubCo general meeting be convened, as described above.

Rights of PubCo Shareholders

   

In addition, a statutory response time, similar to the aforementioned response time under the DCGC, but with a maximum of 250 days applies in the Netherlands. According to this statutory rule, the cooling-off period could be invoked by the PubCo board of directors in the event:

   shareholders, using either their shareholder proposal right or their right to request a PubCo general meeting, propose an agenda item for the PubCo general meeting to dismiss, suspend or appoint a PubCo director (or to amend any provision in the PubCo Articles of Association dealing with those matters); or

   a public offer for PubCo has been announced or made without agreement having been reached with PubCo on such offer,

provided, in each case, that in the opinion of the PubCo board of directors such proposal or offer materially conflicts with the interests of PubCo and its business.

The cooling-off period, if invoked, ends upon the earliest of the following events:

   the expiration of 250 days from:

   in case of shareholders using their shareholder proposal right, the day after the deadline for making such proposal for the next PubCo general meeting has expired;

   in case of shareholders using their right to request a PubCo general meeting, the day when they obtain court authorization to do so; or

   in case of a public offer as described above being made without agreement having been reached with PubCo on such offer, the first following day;

   the day after a public offer without agreement having been reached with PubCo on such offer, having been declared unconditional; or

   the PubCo board of directors deciding to end the cooling-off period earlier.

Rights of PubCo Shareholders

   

In addition, one or more shareholders that may (jointly) exercise the shareholder proposal right at the time that the cooling-off period is invoked, may request the Enterprise Chamber (Ondernemingskamer) of the Amsterdam Court of Appeals (Gerechtshof Amsterdam) for early termination of the cooling-off period. The Enterprise Chamber must rule in favor of the request if the shareholders can demonstrate that:

   the PubCo board of directors, in light of the circumstances at hand when the cooling-off period was invoked, could not reasonably have come to the conclusion that the relevant shareholder proposal or hostile offer constituted a material conflict with the interests of PubCo and its business;

   the PubCo board of directors cannot reasonably believe that a continuation of the cooling-off period would contribute to careful policy-making;

   if other defensive measures, having the same purpose, nature and scope as the cooling-off period, have been activated during the cooling-off period and are not terminated or suspended at the relevant shareholders’ written request within a reasonable period following the request (i.e., no ‘stacking’ of defensive measures).

During the cooling-off period, if invoked, the PubCo must gather all relevant information necessary for a careful decision-making process. In this context, the PubCo board of directors must at least consult with shareholders representing at least 3% of PubCo’s issued share capital at the time the cooling-off period was invoked and with the PubCo’s works council (if applicable). Formal statements expressed by these stakeholders during such consultations must be published on PubCo’s website to the extent these stakeholders have approved that publication.

Ultimately one week following the last day of the cooling-off period, the PubCo board of directors must publish a report in respect of its policy and conduct of affairs during the cooling-off period on the PubCo website. This report must also remain available for inspection by PubCo’s shareholders and others with meeting rights under Dutch law at PubCo’s office and must be tabled for discussion at the next general meeting.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that each current and former director and officer of GSR III (which does note include auditors of GSR III) (each an “indemnified person”) shall be indemnified out of the assets of GSR III against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions other than such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default. No “indemnified person” shall be liable to GSR III for any loss or damage incurred by GSR III as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions unless that liability arises through the actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default of such “indemnified person”, provided that no person shall be found to have committed actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a finding to that effect.

 

Pursuant to the PubCo Articles of Association, PubCo shall indemnify each current or former PubCo director in any anticipated or pending action, suit, proceeding or investigation for any claim against that PubCo director that such PubCo director may derive from exercising his respective duties as a PubCo director for any and all:

   costs and expenses, including but not limited to substantiated attorneys’ fees, reasonably incurred in relation to that PubCo director’s defences in the relevant action, suit, proceeding or investigation or a settlement thereof;

    liabilities, losses, damages, fines, penalties and other claims and/or financial effects of judgements against that PubCo director, excluding any reputational damages and (other) immaterial damages; and

   payments by that PubCo director and/or any other financial effects resulting from a settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, excluding any reputational damages and (other) immaterial damages, subject to prior written approval of such settlement by PubCo (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld),

provided he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of PubCo or out of his mandate, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Any indemnification by PubCo pursuant to the PubCo Articles Association described above (i) shall be made only upon a determination by the PubCo board of directors that indemnification of the PubCo director is proper under the circumstances because he had met the applicable standard of conduct set forth above, and (ii) may be paid by PubCo in advance of the final disposition of the relevant anticipated or pending action, suit or proceeding against that PubCo director, upon a resolution of the PubCo board of directors with respect to the specific case.

Rights of PubCo Shareholders

   

A PubCo director, current or former, shall not be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to the PubCo Articles of Association, if and to the extent:

   a competent court, a judicial tribunal or, in case of an arbitration, an arbitrator or arbitral panel has established by final judgement that is not open to challenge or appeal, that the acts or omissions of the current or former PubCo director can be considered intentional, willfully reckless or seriously culpable, unless this would in the given circumstances be unacceptable according to the standards of reasonableness and fairness;

    the costs or the decrease in assets of the current or former PubCo director are/is covered by an insurance and the insurer started payment of the costs or the decrease in assets; or

   PubCo and/or a company in the group brought the procedure in question up before the relevant court, judicial tribunal or, in case of an arbitration, arbitrator or arbitral panel,

in which event he shall immediately repay any amount paid to him (in advance, as the case may be) by PubCo in connection with the indemnification described herein.

Limitation on Liability of Directors

The GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that no “indemnified person” shall be liable to GSR III for any loss or damage incurred by GSR III as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions unless that liability arises through the actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default of such “indemnified person”. No person shall be found to have committed actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a finding to that effect. The directors, on behalf of GSR III, may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any director or officer against any liability which, by virtue of any rule of law, would otherwise attach to such person in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which such person may be guilty in relation to GSR III.

 

Pursuant to Dutch law, each PubCo director may be held jointly and severally liable to PubCo for damages in the event of improper or negligent performance of his or her duties. Furthermore, PubCo directors may be held liable to third parties based on tort pursuant to certain provisions of the Dutch Civil Code. All PubCo directors will be jointly and severally liable for failure of one or more co-directors. An individual PubCo director will only be exempt from liability if he or she proves that he or she cannot be held culpable for the mismanagement and that he or she has not been negligent in seeking to prevent the consequences of the mismanagement. In this regard a PubCo director may, however, refer to the allocation of tasks among the PubCo directors. In certain circumstances, including in the event of bankruptcy of the company, directors may incur additional specific civil and criminal liabilities.

Rights of GSR III Shareholders

 

Rights of PubCo Shareholders

Dissolution/Liquidation

The GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that in the event that GSR III does not consummate a business combination by 18 months after the date of the closing of the GSR III IPO (or up to 21 months at the discretion of the Sponsor) after the closing of the GSR III IPO GSR III shall: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Shares issued in the GSR III IPO, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay liquidation expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Shares issued in the GSR III IPO, 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 (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of GSR III’s remaining shareholders and the GSR III board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

 

PubCo may only be dissolved by a resolution of the PubCo general meeting at the proposal of the PubCo board of directors. If a resolution to dissolve PubCo is to be submitted to the PubCo general meeting, this must in all cases be stated in the convocation notice for the relevant PubCo general meeting. If the PubCo general meeting resolves to dissolve PubCo, the members of the PubCo board of directors will be charged with the liquidation of the business of PubCo, unless the PubCo general meeting resolves otherwise at the proposal of the PubCo board of directors. During liquidation, the provisions of the PubCo Articles of Association will remain in force as long as possible.

The balance remaining after payment of the debts of PubCo following its dissolution shall be transferred to the PubCo shareholders pro rata in proportion to the number of PubCo shares held by each PubCo shareholder, provided that and with observance of the following order of priority: an amount equal to the nominal value of PubCo Preferred Shares shall first be transferred on each PubCo Preferred Share to the holders of the PubCo Preferred Shares.

Rights of Inspection

The GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that no shareholder (not being a director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of GSR III except as conferred by the Companies Act or authorized by the directors or by GSR III in general meeting.

 

Shareholders will be provided, at the PubCo general meeting, with all information that the shareholders require, unless doing so would be contrary to an overriding interest of PubCo or its stakeholders. PubCo must give reason to shareholders for electing not to provide such information on the basis of an overriding interest. In principle, shareholders have no such right to obtain specific information they would like to receive outside a PubCo general meeting.

Derivative Shareholder Suits

GSR III’s Cayman Islands counsel is not aware of any reported class action having been brought in a Cayman Islands court. Derivative actions have been brought in the Cayman Islands courts, and the Cayman Islands courts have confirmed the availability for such actions. In most cases, the company will be the proper plaintiff in any claim based on a breach of duty owed to it, and a claim against (for example) GSR III officers or directors usually may not be brought by a shareholder. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority and be applied by a court in the Cayman Islands, exceptions to the foregoing principle apply in circumstances in which:

   a company is acting, or proposing to act, illegally or beyond the scope of its authority;

 

In the event a third party is liable to a Dutch company, only the company itself can bring a civil action against that party. Individual shareholders in principle do not have the right to bring an action on behalf of the company. An individual shareholder may, in its own name, have an individual right to take action against such third party in the event that the cause for the liability of that third party also constitutes a tortious act directly against that individual shareholder. The Dutch Civil Code provides for the possibility to initiate such shareholder actions collectively. A foundation or an association whose objective is to protect the rights of a group of persons having similar interests can institute a class action, requesting a declaratory judgment (verklaring voor recht) in which a party is held liable for a tortious act. In the event that such foundation

   the act complained of, although not beyond the scope of the authority, could be effected if duly authorized by more than the number of votes which have actually been obtained; or

   those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.”

 

or association should succeed in obtaining a declaratory judgment, it will be up to the individual injured parties to claim monetary compensation in individual secondary proceedings. In these individual proceedings the injured party will only have to demonstrate that it suffered damage and that its damage was caused by the now established wrongful act of the responsible party. Further, as of January 1 2020, Dutch law provides for the possibility to have a class action for claiming monetary damages, subject to additional safeguards in respect of the standing of the association or foundation as a representative organization.

As an alternative option, the Dutch Code of Civil Procedure and the Dutch Civil Code also contain a facility for group settlement of claims for large scale damage. The facility makes it possible for parties to request the Amsterdam Court of Appeal to declare a settlement between a liable party and a foundation or association which represents the interests of the injured parties universally binding. Once declared universally binding, the agreement is binding upon all injured parties. The facility thus makes it possible for a liable party to definitely settle a claim with an undetermined number of injured parties. Once the Amsterdam Court of Appeal grants the motion, injured parties will have the possibility to opt out of the settlement during a limited period of time. If an injured party opts out it can either litigate itself or try to reach an individual settlement.

A shareholder may have a direct right of action against GSR III where the individual rights of that shareholder have been infringed or are about to be infringed.

   

Conflict of Interest Transactions

The GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that, unless permitted by the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, a director may not have a direct or indirect interest or duty which conflicts or may possibly conflict with the interests of GSR III.

 

A PubCo Director shall not participate in deliberations and the decision-making process in the event of a direct or indirect personal conflict of interest between that director and PubCo and the enterprise connected with it, or in the event of being involved in a related party transaction within the meaning of Dutch law. If the PubCo board of directors is unable to adopt a resolution as a result of all directors being unable to participate in the deliberations and decision-making process due to such a conflict of interest, or due to all directors being involved in such a related party transaction, the decision shall nevertheless be taken by the PubCo board of directors.

If a director does not comply with the provisions on conflicts of interest, the resolution concerned is subject to nullification and the director may be held liable towards PubCo. This nullification, however, only has internal effect and does not affect the external representation.

Rights of GSR III Shareholders

 

Rights of PubCo Shareholders

However, the GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that if a director discloses to his fellow directors the nature and extent of any material interest or duty in accordance with the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association he may:

 

[To be provided by amendment]

(a)     be a party to, or otherwise interested in, any transaction or arrangement with GSR III or in which GSR III is or may otherwise be interested; or

(b)    be interested in another body corporate promoted by GSR III or in which GSR III is otherwise interested. In particular, the director may be a director, secretary or officer of, or employed by, or be a party to any transaction or arrangement with, or otherwise interested in, that other body corporate.

   

If a director has made such a disclosure, then he shall not, by reason only of his office, be accountable to GSR III for any benefit that he derives from any such transaction or arrangement or from any such office or employment or from any interest in any such body corporate, and no such transaction or arrangement shall be liable to be avoided on the ground of any such interest or benefit.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

The GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that, the directors shall be divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. The number of directors in each class shall be as nearly equal as possible. The existing directors shall by resolution classify themselves as Class I, Class II or Class III directors. The Class I Directors shall stand elected for a term expiring at GSR III’s first annual general meeting, the Class II directors shall stand elected for a term expiring at GSR III’s second annual general meeting and the Class III directors shall stand elected for a term expiring at GSR III’s third annual general meeting. Commencing at GSR III’s first annual general meeting, and at each annual general meeting thereafter, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual general meeting after their election. All directors shall hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified.

Rights of PubCo Shareholders

Subject to the provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Act, the GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the rules of Nasdaq, the directors have general and unconditional authority to allot (with or without confirming rights of renunciation), issue, grant options over or otherwise deal with any unissued Shares of GSR III to such persons, at such times and on such terms and conditions as they may decide, 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 GSR III to carry out a Class B Share Conversion as described in the GSR III amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

   

The directors may so deal with the unissued Shares of GSR III:

   

(a)     either at a premium or at par; or

(b)    with or without preferred, deferred or other special rights or restrictions whether in regard to dividend, voting, return of capital or otherwise.

   

GSR III may issue rights, options, warrants or convertible securities or securities of similar nature conferring the right upon the holders thereof to subscribe for, purchase or receive any class of Shares or other securities in GSR III at such times and on such terms and conditions as the directors may decide.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

The PubCo Ordinary Shares to be issued to GSR III Shareholders in connection with the Business Combination will be freely transferable by persons other than PubCo’s affiliates without restrictions under the Securities Act, subject to the restrictions described below.

Rule 144

PubCo Ordinary Shares received in the Business Combination by persons who become affiliates of PubCo for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be resold by them only in transactions permitted by Rule 144, or as otherwise permitted under the Securities Act. Persons who may be deemed affiliates of PubCo generally include individuals or entities that control, are controlled by or are under common control with, PubCo and may include the directors and executive officers of PubCo, as well as its principal shareholders.

Pursuant to Rule 144, a person who has beneficially owned restricted PubCo Ordinary Shares for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of PubCo’s affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) PubCo is subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and has filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as PubCo was required to file reports) preceding the sale. Persons who have beneficially owned restricted PubCo Ordinary Shares for at least six months but who are PubCo’s affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

        1% of the total number of ordinary shares then outstanding; or

        the average weekly reported trading volume of the ordinary shares during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by PubCo’s affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about PubCo.

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

        the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

        the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

        the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and materials required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than current reports; and

        at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

As a result, although PubCo will be a new registrant, PubCo Ordinary Shares may not be eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 without registration until one year after PubCo files an annual report on Form 10-K after the Closing.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

GSR III Relationships and Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On May 30, 2023, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain offering costs of the Company in consideration for 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company (after giving effect to a share surrender effected on June 5, 2024). The initial shareholders have not forfeited Founder Shares as the over-allotment option was exercised in full by the underwriter. The Founder Shares represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the GSR III IPO. The Founder Shares are identical to the GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares included in the public units, except that (i) the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, (ii) the GSR III Initial Shareholders, officers and directors of GSR III have entered into a letter agreement with GSR III, pursuant to which they have agreed, for no additional consideration, (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and public shares owned in connection with the completion of an initial business combination, (b) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if GSR III fails to complete an initial business combination by May 8, 2026 (or August 7, 2026 at the discretion of the Sponsor) (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if GSR III fails to complete its initial business combination within such time period), and (c) to vote their Founder Shares and any public shares purchased during or after the GSR III IPO in favor of the Business Combination and (iii) the Founder Shares are automatically convertible into GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares at the time of the Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions contained in GSR III’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

GSR III Private Placement Units

Simultaneously with the consummation of the GSR III IPO and the sale of the GSR III Units, the Company consummated the private placement of 422,500 units (including underwriters’ over-allotment exercise of 7,500 Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit), generating total proceeds of $4,225,000. Each Private Placement Unit entitles the holder thereof to one Class A ordinary share and one-seventh of one private right to purchase one GSR III Class A ordinary share at $10.00 per share. We will not issue fractional GSR III Class A ordinary shares in connection with an exchange of rights. Fractional Class A ordinary shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Cayman Islands law. The GSR III Private Placement Units have terms and provisions that are identical to the units sold as part of the GSR III IPO. The private placement units (including any private placement shares, any private placement rights and any Class A ordinary shares underlying the private placement rights) are not transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of initial Business Combination except pursuant to limited exceptions.

Related Party Loans

During June 2024, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 pursuant to a promissory note. The Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and became due on November 8, 2024 upon the closing of the GSR III IPO. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company borrowed $132,984 under the Note to pay for offering costs, of which $98,228 was settled through risk capital funding and $34,756 was repaid from the proceeds of the GSR III IPO placed in the Trust Account.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of GSR III’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan GSR III funds as may be required. If GSR III completes a Business Combination, GSR III may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to GSR III. Up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, GSR III may use a portion of the proceeds 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. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest.

Registration Rights

Holders of the Founder Shares and Terra Innovatum Quotaholders hold registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed by GSR III subsequent to completion of its initial business combination and rights to require GSR III to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that GSR III will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock up period. GSR III will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

At the Closing, PubCo will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement, with the Terra Quotaholders and the GSR III Initial Shareholders, which will amend and restate the existing registration rights agreement. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the GSR III Initial Shareholders and Terra Quotaholders will be entitled to certain registration rights. For more information about the Registration Rights Agreement, please see the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents — Ancillary Documents — Registration Rights Agreement.”

Administrative Services Agreement

On November 7, 2024, GSR III pursuant to which we will pay a total of $55,556 per month for office space, administrative and support services to such affiliate. Upon completion of our initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. Accordingly, in the event the consummation of our initial business combination takes 18 months, an affiliate of Sponsor will be paid a total of approximately $1,000,000 ($55,556 per month) for office space, administrative and support services and will be entitled to be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses. If the time to complete the initial business combination is extended to 21 months at Sponsor’s discretion, Sponsor shall make a capital contribution to GSR III, if necessary, to fund any additional office space, administrative and support services.

Terra Innovatum Relationships and Related Party Transactions

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Terra Innovatum earned other income of $129,170 and $38,941, respectively, for engineering consulting services provided to related parties. The consulting services are unrelated to the core business of Terra Innovatum and are included in the statement of operations under other income — related parties.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, Terra Innovatum had amounts due from related parties of $0 and $8,830, respectively. These amounts corresponded to unbilled amounts due from a related party for engineering consulting services provided during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, Terra Innovatum entered into an interest-free loan agreement with its quotaholders. The total loan amount of $216,212 is to be provided in cash installments by January 15, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, quotaholders advanced $106,780 of the $216,212. The loan is scheduled to mature on December 31, 2040, with automatic annual extensions permitted until December 31, 2045, unless repayment is requested by the quotaholders.

Terra Innovatum utilizes office space provided by a related party at no charge. There is no formal lease agreement, and no amounts have been recognized for rent expense in the accompanying financial statements. Management has determined that the fair value of the contributed office space is not material to the financial statements.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP

Beneficial Ownership of PubCo

The following table sets forth information regarding the expected beneficial ownership of shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares immediately following consummation of the Business Combination by:

        each person who is expected to be the beneficial owner of more than 5.0% of PubCo Ordinary Shares post-Business Combination;

        each person who is expected to become an executive officer or director of PubCo post-Business Combination; and

        all executive officers and directors of PubCo as a group post-Business Combination.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days.

The expected beneficial ownership of shares of PubCo post-Business Combination assumes three redemption scenarios:

        No Redemption Scenario:    This scenario assumes that no holders of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption exercise their right to have their GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed for their pro rata share of the Trust Account.

        50% Redemption Scenario:    This scenario assumes that 11,500,000 holders of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption exercise their right to have their GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed for their pro rata share of the Trust Account.

        Maximum Redemption Scenario:    This scenario assumes that 19,580,736 GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption exercise their right to have their GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed for their pro rata share of the Trust Account.

The expected beneficial ownership does not include any Ordinary Shares that may become issuable upon the conversion of any PubCo Preferred Shares as such shares are not issuable within 60 days of the Closing and the holders have agreed that, until such date as any such shares are earned, such shares will be voted proportionately with all other shares that are voted so as to not impact the results of voting on any matter put before shareholders. If the actual facts are different from the foregoing assumptions, ownership figures in the PubCo and the table that follows could differ.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

Overview

GSR III is asking its shareholders to adopt the Business Combination Agreement, and approve the Business Combination. GSR III shareholders should read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Business Combination Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. Please see the sections entitled “The Business Combination” and “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents” for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Business Combination and the Business Combination Agreement. GSR III shareholders are urged to read carefully the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

Vote Required for Approval

The Business Combination Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Merger Proposal at the General Meeting.

The Business Combination Proposal (and consequently, the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination) will be adopted and approved only if the GSR III shareholders approve an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being, where a quorum is present, the affirmative vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal of the holders of at least a majority of the issued GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares who are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the General Meeting. Broker non-votes will not be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established, and will have no effect on the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal or Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but, as a matter of Cayman Islands law, will not constitute a vote cast at the General Meeting and therefore will have no effect on the approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal and Adjournment Proposal. However, Nasdaq requires that for the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal or Adjournment Proposal to be approved, there must be more votes cast in favor of the proposal than the aggregate of votes against such proposal plus abstentions. Broker non-votes do not count as votes cast. Therefore, in order to maintain compliance with this Nasdaq requirement, abstentions will count as a vote “AGAINST” each of the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal and Adjournment Proposal.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the GSR III Initial Shareholders have agreed to vote any GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares owned by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. As of the date hereof, the GSR III Initial Shareholders own 20% of the issued and outstanding GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares and have not purchased any public shares, but may do so at any time.

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be voted upon is as follows:

RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that, assuming the Merger Proposal is authorized, approved and confirmed, the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of April 21, 2025 (as it may be amended from time to time), a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, by and among GSR III, and Terra Innovatum, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (collectively, the “Business Combination”) be authorized, approved and confirmed in all respects.”

Recommendation of the GSR III Board

THE GSR III BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS

THE APPROVAL OF BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of GSR III’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of GSR III and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, GSR III’s officers may have interests in the Business Combination Proposal that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder.

GSR III shareholders are urged to read carefully the Plan of Merger in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

Vote Required for Approval

The Merger Proposal is conditioned on the approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal at the General Meeting.

The Merger Proposal (and consequently, the Plan of Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby) will be adopted and approved only if the GSR III shareholders approve a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being, where a quorum is present, the affirmative vote “FOR” the Merger Proposal of the holders of at least two-thirds of the issued GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares who are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the General Meeting. Broker non-votes will not be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established, and will have no effect on the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal or Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but, as a matter of Cayman Islands law, will not constitute a vote cast at the General Meeting and therefore will have no effect on the approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal and Adjournment Proposal.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 — THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

Overview

GSR III is proposing the Adjournment Proposal to allow the GSR III board of directors to adjourn the General Meeting to a later date or dates (A) in order to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining GSR III shareholder approval of the transaction proposals to be voted upon at the General Meeting, (B) if as of the time for which the General Meeting is scheduled, there are insufficient GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the General Meeting, (C) to allow reasonable time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosures that GSR III has determined, based on the advice of outside legal counsel, is reasonably likely to be required under applicable law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the GSR III shareholders prior to the General Meeting, or (D) if GSR III shareholders redeem an amount of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares such that the condition to Terra Innovatum’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination that the amount of cash available for release in the Trust Account (net of the Cash Redemption Amount) be equal to or greater $25,000,000 is not satisfied.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by GSR III shareholders, the GSR III board of directors may not be able to adjourn the General Meeting to a later date in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal, or in the event that GSR III shareholders redeem an amount of GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares such that the GSR III Available Cash Condition would not be satisfied.

Vote Required for Approval

The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal at the General Meeting.

The Adjournment Proposal will be adopted and approved only if the GSR III shareholders approve an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being, where a quorum is present, the affirmative vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal of the holders of at least a majority of the issued GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares who are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the General Meeting. Broker non-votes will not be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established, and will have no effect on the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal or Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but, as a matter of Cayman Islands law, will not constitute a vote cast at the General Meeting and therefore will have no effect on the approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal and Adjournment Proposal. However, Nasdaq requires that for the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal or Adjournment Proposal to be approved, there must be more votes cast in favor of the proposal than the aggregate of votes against such proposal plus abstentions. Broker non-votes do not count as votes cast. Therefore, in order to maintain compliance with this Nasdaq requirement, abstentions will count as a vote “AGAINST” each of the Business Combination Proposal, Merger Proposal and Adjournment Proposal.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the GSR III Initial Shareholders have agreed to vote any GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares owned by them in favor of the Adjournment Proposal. As of the date hereof, the GSR III Initial Shareholders own 20% of the issued and outstanding GSR III Class A Ordinary Shares and have not purchased any public shares, but may do so at any time.

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be voted upon is as follows:

RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates (A) in order to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining GSR III shareholder approval of the transaction proposals to be voted upon at the Extraordinary General Meeting, (B) if as of the time for which the Extraordinary General Meeting is scheduled, there are insufficient Class A ordinary shares of GSR III and Class B ordinary shares of GSR III represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business

Recommendation of the GSR III Board

THE GSR III BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS
THAT GSR III SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR”
THE APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL, IF PRESENTED

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of GSR III’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of GSR III and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

GSR III Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on May 10, 2023. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“Business Combination”). See Note 10 for disclosure of a Business Combination Agreement the Company entered into with Terra Innovatum (a target company).

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity for the period from May 10, 2023 (inception) through March 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), and since the Initial Public Offering, its search for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest and dividend income from investments held in trust, which proceeds were derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

Financing

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on November 7, 2024. On November 8, 2024, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units including 3,000,000 additional public units as the underwriters ‘over-allotment option was exercised in full (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000 (see Note 3).

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 422,500 units including 7,500 additional private placement units as the underwriters ‘over-allotment option was exercised in full (the “Private Placement Units”) to GSR III Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $4,225,000, which is described in Note 4. This amount from the sale of the Private Placement Units are added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. The proceeds received from the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account was used partially to pay some general and administrative expenses.

Transaction costs amounted to $11,084,352, consisting of $975,000 of cash underwriting fees, $9,200,000 of deferred underwriting fees which will be paid on the consummation of initial Business Combination, and $909,352 of other offering costs.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $230,000,000 ($10 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and invested only in either (i) U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, (ii) as uninvested cash, or (iii) an interest or non-interest bearing bank demand deposit account or other accounts at a bank. The trust account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of: (i) the completion of initial Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of obligation to offer redemption rights in connection with any proposed initial Business Combination or certain amendments to amended and restated memorandum and articles of association prior thereto or to redeem 100% of our public shares if initial Business Combination is not completed within the completion window; or (B) with respect to any other material provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; or (iii) absent an initial Business Combination within the completion window, from the closing of Initial Public Offering, return of the funds held in the trust account to public shareholders as part of redemption of the public shares.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (cont.)

The Nasdaq listing rules require that initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the assets held in the trust account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the trust account). Management may, however, structure an initial Business Combination such that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or shareholders or for other reasons, but will only complete such Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

The Company is required to provide its Class A ordinary shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer.

All of the Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the units in this offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with initial Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In accordance with SEC guidance on redeemable equity instruments, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Accordingly, all of the Public Shares were presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheet. Given that the Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the units in the offering were issued with other freestanding instruments, the initial carrying value of Class A ordinary shares classified as temporary equity were the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The accretion or remeasurement is recognized as a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Each public shareholder may elect to redeem their public shares without voting and, if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. In addition, initial shareholders, directors and officers have entered into a letter agreement, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and public shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), is restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Class A ordinary shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.

Business Combination

If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the 18 or 21-month period, it may seek an amendment to amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the period of time to complete an initial Business Combination beyond 21 months. The Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association requires at least a special resolution of shareholders as a matter of Cayman Islands law, meaning that such an amendment be approved by at least two-thirds of ordinary shares who, being entitled to do so, attend and vote (either in person or by proxy) at a general meeting of the company. If the Company seeks shareholder approval to extend beyond the 21-month period in which to complete an initial Business Combination to a later date, The Company is required to offer public shareholders the right to have their public ordinary shares redeemed for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account,

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (cont.)

including interest (less permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses). There are no limitations to the number of times that the Company may seek shareholder approval or that shareholders may approve to extend beyond the 21-month period in which to complete a Business Combination at a later date. If the initial Business Combination is not completed in the period provided, the membership interests of the Sponsor become worthless.

Going Concern Consideration

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” we have determined that mandatory liquidation, should we not complete a Business Combination and an extension of our deadline to do so not be approved by the shareholders of the Company, and potential subsequent dissolution and the liquidity issue raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern if it does not complete a Business Combination.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $1,327,852 in its operating bank account and working capital of $626,104. The Company has incurred and expects to incur significant costs to operate as a publicly traded company, to evaluate business opportunities, and to close on a Business Combination. Such costs will be incurred prior to generating any operating revenues. These factors also raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

Management plans to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date and anticipates that the Company will have sufficient liquidity to fund its operations until then. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination (including the potential Business Combination described in Note 10) within the required timeframe or that liquidity will be sufficient to fund operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of significant global events such as the Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Palestine conflicts, on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that these could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. As such, the information included in these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s latest audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2025. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these financial statements include all adjustments, which are only of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2025, and the Company’s results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations included in the financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2025.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make a comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $1,327,852 and $1,787,033 in cash, respectively. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

Cash and Investments Held in Trust Account

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $233,835,361 and $231,412,096 in cash and investments held in the trust account, respectively, comprised of money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities. Investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

reporting period. Earnings on investments held in the Trust Account are included in interest and dividends earned on investments held in the trust account in the statements of operations. The estimated fair value of cash and investments held in the Trust Account is determined using available market information.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

        Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

        Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

        Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consist of legal, administrative, and other costs incurred through the date of the Initial Public Offering that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs were allocated to Public and Private Rights issued in the Initial Public Offering on residual value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares were charged against the carrying value of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Income Taxes

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a

tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman Islands federal income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Class A Redeemable Share Classification

The public shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies public shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

Accordingly, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of permanent shareholders’ deficit on the Company’s balance sheets, as summarized in the following table:

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable ordinary shares is excluded from net income per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

The calculation of diluted income per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the rights issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Units since the exercise of the units is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares that then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net income per ordinary share is the same as basic net income per ordinary share for the periods presented.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income per ordinary share (in dollars, except share amounts):

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation costs resulting from the issuance of stock-based awards to directors as an expense in the financial statement over the requisite service period based on a measurement of fair value for each stock-based award. The fair value is amortized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model includes various assumptions, including the fair market value of the estimated stock price of the Company, expected life of shares, the expected volatility and the expected risk-free interest rate, among others. These assumptions reflect the Company’s best estimates, but they involve inherent uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside the control of the Company.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 23,000,000 Units (including underwriters’ over-allotment exercise of 3,000,000 Units) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000 to the Company which was placed in the Trust Account. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-seventh of one public right (the “Public Right”). Each whole right entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $10.00 per share. No fractional rights will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole rights will trade. The underwriters have exercised their over-allotment option on consummation of the Initial Public offering to purchase 3,000,000 additional units to cover over-allotments.

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 422,500 units (including underwriters’ over-allotment exercise of 7,500 Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit), generating total proceeds of $4,225,000. Each Private Placement Unit entitles the holder thereof to one Class A ordinary share and one-seventh of one private right (“Private Placement Rights”) to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $10.00 per share.

The private placement units have terms and provisions that are identical to the units sold as part of the Initial Public Offering. The private placement units (including any private placement shares, any private placement rights and any Class A ordinary shares underlying the private placement rights) are not transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of an initial Business Combination except pursuant to limited exceptions.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On May 30, 2023, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain offering costs of the Company in consideration for 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company (after giving effect to a share surrender effected on June 5, 2024). The initial shareholders have not forfeited Founder Shares as the over-allotment option was exercised in full by the underwriter. The Founder Shares represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering.

On November 8, 2024, the Sponsor transferred 30,000 Founder Shares to its three independent directors (10,000 Founder Shares per director) of the Company, at a price of $0.004348 per share. Each buyer paid $43.48 for an aggregate purchase price of $130.44 in consideration of the assignment of shares. If the director ceases to be a director of the Company for any reason before the consummation of the Business Combination, at the Sponsor’s election, it will either repurchase the shares at the purchase price or forfeit the shares back to the Company for no consideration. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A ordinary shares at the time of the Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described in the Company’s certificate of incorporation.

Additionally, on December 19, 2024, the Sponsor transferred another 225,000 Founder Shares to another member of the management team at a price of $0.004348 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $978.30.

The sale of the Founder Shares to the Company’s directors and director’s nominees by the Sponsor is in the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The fair value of the 255,000 shares granted to the Company’s directors and management person was at the acquisition price per share of $0.004348.

The Founder Shares were granted subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the Founders Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation of a Business Combination) in an amount equal to the number of Founders Shares times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founder Shares.

Administrative Services Agreement

Commencing on November 8, 2024, the Company has entered into an agreement to pay the Sponsor a total of up to $55,556 per month for office space and administrative and support services. Upon completion of a Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three months ended

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (cont.)

March 31, 2025, the Company incurred $166,668 in fees for these services, which are included within general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations (none for the three months ended March 31, 2024). There were no related amounts payable as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Promissory Note — Related Party

During June 2024, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and became due on November 8, 2024 upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company borrowed $132,984 under the Note to pay for offering costs, of which $98,228 was settled through risk capital funding and $34,756 was repaid from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering placed in the Trust Account. The risk capital used to settle a portion of the Note is part of the private placement units issued contemporaneously with the Initial Public Offering and hence included as part of additional paid-in capital in the accompanying statements of changes in shareholders’ (deficit) equity. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no outstanding balance under the Note.

Working Capital Loans

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, members of the Company’s founding team or any of their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds 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. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lenders’ discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement units at a price of $10.00 per unit. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no outstanding Working Capital Loans.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration Rights

The holders of the (i) Founder Shares, which were issued in a private placement prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering, (ii) Private Placement Units (including private placement unit and private placement rights), which were issued in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Class A ordinary shares underlying such Private Placement Units, and (iii) Private Placement Units and the Class A ordinary shares underlying such Private Placement Units that may be issued upon conversion of any Sponsor funded, have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of securities held by holders of the securities pursuant to a registration rights agreement that was signed prior to the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to completion of initial Business Combination and rights to require to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company is not required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period.

Preferred Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preferred shares, $0.0001 par value, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no preferred shares issued or outstanding.

Class A Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with $0.0001 par value. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 422,500 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, excluding 23,000,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption.

Class B Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with $0.0001 par value. In May 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,750,000 Founder Shares to the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, of which an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares were subject to forfeiture for no consideration to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part. As a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full on November 8, 2024, all 750,000 Class B ordinary shares were no longer subject to forfeiture. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

Holders of the Class B ordinary shares have the right to appoint all the Company’s directors prior to an initial Business Combination. On any other matter submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders, holders of the Class A ordinary shares and holders of the Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class, except as required by law or share exchange rule; provided, that the holders of Class B ordinary shares are be entitled to vote as a separate class to increase the authorized number of Class B ordinary shares. Each share of ordinary share has one vote on all such matters.

The Class B ordinary shares automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the initial Business Combination at a ratio such 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, 20% of the sum of (i) the total number of shares issued in the Initial Public Offering, including shares issued in connection with the underwriter exercise of their option to purchase additional Units, plus (ii) the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities (as defined herein) or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, deemed issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any private placement rights issued to the Sponsor, its affiliates or any member of the management team upon conversion of any funded by the Company’s Sponsor.

Rights

On November 8, 2024, 3,285,714 public rights and 60,357 private rights were issued as part of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, respectively.

The gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering were allocated to the public rights based on relative value, with $4,107,143 recorded in shareholders’ deficit related to the rights on November 8, 2024. The rights are not remeasured to fair value on a recurring basis.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 3,285,714 public rights and 60,357 private rights included in the Placement Units outstanding. Each holder of one right will receive one Class A ordinary share upon consummation of the initial Business Combination, whether or not the Company will be the surviving entity, even if the holder of a public right converted all Class A ordinary shares held by them or it in connection with the initial Business Combination or an amendment to the Company’s memorandum and articles of association with respect to Company’s pre-Business Combination activities. In the event the Company will not be the survivor upon completion of the initial Business Combination, each holder of rights will be required to affirmatively convert

their rights in order to receive the Class A ordinary shares underlying the rights (without paying any additional consideration) upon consummation of the Business Combination. The Company will not issue fractional Class A ordinary shares in connection with an exchange of rights. No fractional shares will be issued upon exchange of rights. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive its additional shares upon consummation of a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the required time period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such rights, and the rights will expire worthless. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the rights upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. Accordingly, the rights may expire worthless.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

 

Level 1:

 

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

   

Level 2:

 

Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

   

Level 3:

 

Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

NOTE 9. SEGMENT INFORMATION

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Co-Chief Executive Officers, who collectively review the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has one operating segment.

When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews formation and operational costs and interest and dividends earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account, which are included in the accompanying statements of operations.

The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by our CODM are interest and dividends earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account and formation and operational costs. The CODM reviews interest and dividends earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the trust agreement. Formation and operational costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination within the required completion window. The CODM also reviews formation and operational costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and the budget.

NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements other than those described below.

Business Combination Agreement

On April 21, 2025, the Company entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Terra Innovatum s.r.l., an Italian limited liability company (“Terra Innovatum”). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, Terra Innovatum and their related parties will undertake a series of reorganizations, equity issuances, and purchases, resulting in the Company becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of a Dutch public limited liability company (“Pubco”), which will be formed as part of the transaction.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
GSR III Acquisition Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of GSR III Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the period from May 10, 2023 (inception) through December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the period from May 10, 2023 (inception) through December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern Matter

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. The Company’s business plan is dependent on the completion of a Business Combination within a prescribed period of time and if not completed will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

GSR III ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

GSR III Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on May 10, 2023. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities that the Company has not yet identified (“Business Combination”).

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity for the period from May 10, 2023 (inception) through December 31, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company expects to generate non-operating income in the form of interest and dividend income from investments held in trust, which proceeds were derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

Financing

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on November 7, 2024. On November 8, 2024, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units including 3,000,000 additional public units as the underwriters ‘over-allotment option was exercised in full (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000 (see Note 3).

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 422,500 units including 7,500 additional private placement units as the underwriters ‘over-allotment option was exercised in full (the “Private Placement Units”) to GSR III Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $4,225,000, which is described in Note 4. This amount from the sale of the Private Placement Units are added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. The proceeds received from the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account was used partially to pay some general and administrative expenses.

Transaction costs amounted to $11,084,352, consisting of $975,000 of cash underwriting fees, $9,200,000 of deferred underwriting fees which will be paid on the consummation of initial Business Combination, and $909,352 of other offering costs.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $230,000,000 ($10 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and invested only in in either (i) U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, (ii) as uninvested cash, or (iii) an interest or non-interest bearing bank demand deposit account or other accounts at a bank. The trust account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of: (i) the completion of initial Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of obligation to offer redemption rights in connection with any proposed initial Business Combination or certain amendments to amended and restated memorandum and articles of association prior thereto or to redeem 100% of our public shares if initial Business Combination is not completed within the completion window; or (B) with respect to any other material provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; or (iii) absent an initial Business Combination within the completion window, from the closing of Initial Public Offering, return of the funds held in the trust account to public shareholders as part of redemption of the public shares.

The Nasdaq listing rules require that initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the assets held in the trust account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the trust account).

F-25

GSR III ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (cont.)

Management may, however, structure an initial Business Combination such that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or shareholders or for other reasons, but will only complete such Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

The Company is required to provide its Class A ordinary shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer.

All of the Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the units in the initial public offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with initial Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In accordance with SEC guidance on redeemable equity instruments, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Accordingly, all of the Public Shares were presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheet. Given that the Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the units in the offering were issued with other freestanding instruments, the initial carrying value of Class A ordinary shares classified as temporary equity were the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The accretion or remeasurement is recognized as a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Each public shareholder may elect to redeem their public shares without voting and, if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. In addition, initial shareholders, directors and officers have entered into a letter agreement, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and public shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), is restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Class A ordinary shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.

Business Combination

If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the 18 or 21-month period, it may seek an amendment to amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the period of time to complete an initial Business Combination beyond 21 months. The Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association requires at least a special resolution of shareholders as a matter of Cayman Islands law, meaning that such an amendment be approved by at least two-thirds of ordinary shares who, being entitled to do so, attend and vote (either in person or by proxy) at a general meeting of the company. If the Company seeks shareholder approval to extend beyond the 21-month period in which to complete an initial Business Combination to a later date, The Company is required to offer public shareholders the right to have their public ordinary shares redeemed for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (less permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses). There are no limitations to the number of times that the Company may seek shareholder approval or that shareholders

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (cont.)

may approve to extend beyond the 21-month period in which to complete a Business Combination at a later date. If the initial Business Combination is not completed in the period provided, the membership interests of the Sponsor become worthless.

Going Concern Consideration

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” we have determined that mandatory liquidation, should we not complete a Business Combination and an extension of our deadline to do so not be approved by the stockholders of the Company, and potential subsequent dissolution and the liquidity issue raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern if it does not complete a Business Combination.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $1,787,033 in its operating bank account and working capital of $1,886,349. The Company has incurred and expects to incur significant costs to operate as a publicly traded company, to evaluate business opportunities, and to close on a Business Combination. Such costs will be incurred prior to generating any operating revenues. These factors also raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

Management plans to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date and anticipates that the Company will have sufficient liquidity to fund its operations until then. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination within the required timeframe or that liquidity will be sufficient to fund operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of significant global events such as the Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Palestine conflicts, on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that these could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

F-27

Table of Contents

GSR III ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make a comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had $1,787,033 and zero in cash, respectively. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024 or 2023.

Investments Held in Trust Account

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had $231,412,096 and $0 in investments held in the Trust Account, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

F-28

Table of Contents

GSR III ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

        Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

        Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

        Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs consist of legal, administrative, and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” Offering cost is allocated to Public and Private Rights issued in the Initial Public Offering on residual value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares are charged against the carrying value of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public offering.

Income Taxes

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2024 or 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman Islands federal income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Class A Redeemable Share Classification

The public shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies public shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the

carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

Accordingly, as of December 31, 2024, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of permanent shareholders’ equity on the Company’s balance sheet, as summarized in the following table:

Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable ordinary shares is excluded from net income (loss) per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The calculation of diluted income (loss) per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the rights issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Units since the exercise of the units is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares that then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share is the same as basic net income (loss) per ordinary share for the periods presented.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share (in dollars, except share amounts):

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation costs resulting from the issuance of stock-based awards to directors as an expense in the financial statement over the requisite service period based on a measurement of fair value for each stock-based award. The fair value is amortized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model includes various assumptions, including the fair market value of the estimated stock price of the Company, expected life of shares, the expected volatility and the expected risk-free interest rate, among others. These assumptions reflect the Company’s best estimates, but they involve inherent uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside the control of the Company.

Recent Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating officer decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This standard was effective for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements (see Note 9).

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 23,000,000 Units (including underwriters’ over-allotment exercise of 3,000,000 Units) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000 to the Company which was placed in the Trust Account. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-seventh of one public right (the “Public Right”). Each whole right entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $10.00 per share. No fractional rights will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole rights will trade. The underwriters have exercised their over-allotment option on consummation of the Initial Public offering to purchase 3,000,000 additional units to cover over-allotments.

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 422,500 units (including underwriters’ over-allotment exercise of 7,500 Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit), generating total proceeds of $4,225,000. Each Private Placement Unit entitles the holder thereof to one Class A ordinary share and one-seventh of one private right (“Private Placement Rights”) to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $10.00 per share.

The private placement units have terms and provisions that are identical to the units sold as part of the Initial Public Offering. The private placement units (including any private placement shares, any private placement rights and any Class A ordinary shares underlying the private placement rights) are not transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of initial Business Combination except pursuant to limited exceptions.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On May 30, 2023, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain offering costs of the Company in consideration for 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company (after giving effect to a share surrender effected on June 5, 2024). The initial shareholders have not forfeited Founder Shares as the over-allotment option was exercised in full by the underwriter. The Founder Shares represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering.

On November 8, 2024, the Sponsor transferred 30,000 Founder Shares to each of its three independent directors (10,000 Founder Shares per director) of the Company, at a price of $0.004348 per share. Each buyer paid $43.48 for an aggregate purchase price of $130.44 in consideration of the assignment of shares. If the director ceases to be a director of the Company for any reason before the consummation of the Business Combination, at the Sponsor’s election, it will either repurchase the shares at the purchase price or forfeit the shares back to the Company for no consideration. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A ordinary shares at the time of the Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described in the Company’s certificate of incorporation.

Additionally, on December 19, 2024, the Sponsor transferred another 225,000 Founder Shares to another member of the management team at a price of $0.004348 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $978.30.

The sale of the Founder Shares to the Company’s directors and director’s nominees by the Sponsor is in the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The fair value of the 255,000 shares granted to the Company’s directors and management person was at the acquisition price per share of $0.004348.

The Founder Shares were granted subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the Founders Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation of a Business Combination) in an amount equal to the number of Founders Shares times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founder Shares.

Administrative Services Agreement

Commencing on November 8, 2024, the Company has entered into an agreement to pay the Sponsor a total of up to $55,556 per month for office space and administrative and support services. Upon completion of a Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred $111,112 in fees for these services, which are included within general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations (none in 2023).

Promissory Note — Related Party

During June 2024, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and became due on November 8, 2024 upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company borrowed $132,984 under the Note to pay for offering costs, of which $98,228 was settled through risk capital funding and $34,756 was repaid from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering placed in the Trust Account. During the period from May 10, 2023 (inception) through December 31, 2023, the Company did not make any borrowings under the Note. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no outstanding balance under the Note. The risk capital used to

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (cont.)

settle a portion of the Note is part of the private placement units issued contemporaneously with the Initial Public Offering and hence included as part of additional paid-in capital in the accompanying statements of changes in equity.

Working Capital Loans

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, members of the Company’s founding team or any of their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds 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. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lenders’ discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement units at a price of $10.00 per unit. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no outstanding Working Capital Loans.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration Rights

The holders of the (i) Founder Shares, which were issued in a private placement prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering, (ii) Private Placement Units (including private placement unit and private placement rights), which were issued in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Class A ordinary shares underlying such Private Placement Units, and (iii) Private Placement Units and the Class A ordinary shares underlying such Private Placement Units that may be issued upon conversion of any Sponsor funded, have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of securities held by holders of the securities pursuant to a registration rights agreement that was signed prior to the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to completion of initial Business Combination and rights to require to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company is not required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period.

NOTE 7. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preferred shares, $0.0001 par value, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no preferred shares issued or outstanding.

Class A Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with $0.0001 par value. As of December 31, 2024, there were 422,500 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, excluding 23,000,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption. There were no Class A ordinary shares issued or outstanding as of December 31, 2023.

Class B Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with $0.0001 par value. In May 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,750,000 Founder Shares to the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, of which an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares were subject to forfeiture for no consideration to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment

NOTE 7. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (cont.)

option was not exercised in full or in part. As a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full on November 8, 2024, all 750,000 Class B ordinary shares were no longer subject to forfeiture. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

Holders of the Class B ordinary shares have the right to appoint all the Company’s directors prior to an initial Business Combination. On any other matter submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders, holders of the Class A ordinary shares and holders of the Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class, except as required by law or share exchange rule; provided, that the holders of Class B ordinary shares are be entitled to vote as a separate class to increase the authorized number of Class B ordinary shares. Each share of ordinary share has one vote on all such matters.

The Class B ordinary shares automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the initial Business Combination at a ratio such 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, 20% of the sum of (i) the total number of shares issued in the Initial Public Offering, including shares issued in connection with the underwriter exercise of their option to purchase additional Units, plus (ii) the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities (as defined herein) or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, deemed issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any private placement rights issued to the Sponsor, its affiliates or any member of the management team upon conversion of any funded by the Company’s Sponsor.

Rights

As of December 31, 2023, there were no rights issued or outstanding. On November 8, 2024, 3,285,714 public rights and 60,357 private rights were issued as part of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, respectively.

The gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering were allocated to the public rights based on relative value, with $4,107,143 recorded in shareholders’ equity related to the rights at November 8, 2024. The rights are not remeasured to fair value on a recurring basis.

As of December 31, 2024, there were 3,285,714 public rights and 60,357 private rights included in the Placement Units outstanding. Each holder of one right will receive one Class A ordinary share upon consummation of the initial Business Combination, whether or not the Company will be the surviving entity, even if the holder of a public right converted all Class A ordinary shares held by them or it in connection with the initial Business Combination or an amendment to the Company’s memorandum and articles of association with respect to Company’s pre-Business Combination activities. In the event the Company will not be the survivor upon completion of the initial Business Combination, each holder of rights will be required to affirmatively convert their rights in order to receive the Class A ordinary shares underlying the rights (without paying any additional consideration) upon consummation of the Business Combination. The Company will not issue fractional Class A ordinary shares in connection with an exchange of rights. No fractional shares will be issued upon exchange of rights. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive its additional shares upon consummation of a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the required time period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such rights, and the rights will expire worthless. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the rights upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. Accordingly, the rights may expire worthless.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

 

Level 1:

 

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

   

Level 2:

 

Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

   

Level 3:

 

Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2024 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

NOTE 9. SEGMENT INFORMATION

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Co-Chief Executive Officers, who collectively review the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has one operating segment.

When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics, formation and operational costs and dividend earned on investments held in Trust Account which include the accompanying statements of operations.

F-35

Table of Contents

GSR III ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 9. SEGMENT INFORMATION (cont.)

The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by our CODM are interest earned on investments held in Trust Account and formation and operational costs. The CODM reviews dividend earned on investments held in Trust Account to measure and monitor stockholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the trust agreement. Formation and operational costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a business combination within the business combination period. The CODM also reviews formation and operational costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget.

NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date when these financial statements were issued. Based on this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would require adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements, other than the event described below.

Business Combination Agreement

On April 21, 2025, the Company entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Terra Innovatum s.r.l., an Italian limited liability company (“Terra Innovatum”). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, Terra Innovatum and their related parties will undertake a series of reorganizations, equity issuances, and purchases, resulting in the Company becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of a Dutch public limited liability company (“Pubco”), which will be formed as part of the transaction.

Terra Innovatum, Srl.
Notes to the Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization

Terra Innovatum, Srl. (“Terra”) was incorporated under the laws of Italy on September 23, 2021 (“Inception”) and is headquartered in Lucca, Italy. Terra is a pioneering nuclear energy technology company developing the SOLO Micro-Modular Nuclear Reactor (“SOLO”), a breakthrough solution designed to address critical challenges in clean energy production. Terra’s reactor represents a significant technological and engineering advancement, offering a compact, safe, and economically compelling alternative to traditional energy infrastructure. The SOLO reactor’s core innovation lies in its ability to generate 1 MWe of electricity baseload with a continuous operational cycle of up to 15 years, extendable to 45 years through strategic refueling, with a fixed and competitive projected levelized cost of energy. Terra’s strategic roadmap targets commercial deployment by 2028, with a clear focus on delivering a scalable, modular nuclear solution that can be deployed across diverse markets — from industrial and infrastructure to remote and off-grid applications. Key differentiators include a gas-cooled design, multiple safety shutdown mechanisms, safeguard-by-design, small footprint, and the ability to use commercially available Low Enriched Uranium (“LEU”), which significantly reduces regulatory and technological barriers typical in nuclear energy development. Terra has made substantial progress in de-risking its First-of-a-Kind (“FOAK”) reactor, including initiating regulatory engagement with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“NRC”), and establishing a robust supply chain strategy. Terra has completed the reactor design, validated key technological components, and is advancing through critical regulatory milestones to achieve Terra’s 2028 FOAK reactor completion target.

Note 2. Going Concern

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $43,787. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company used approximately $199,056 in cash for operating activities. Historically, the Company has incurred recurring net losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $1,484,550.

These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date these financial statements were issued.

The Company is trying to alleviate the going concern risk through the debt and equity financing in the United States (“U.S.”) capital market to support its working capital after the Merger (see Note 12. Subsequent Events). However, there is no guarantee that the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern will be alleviated. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds.

These accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes to the accounting policies during the three months period ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in Note 3 of the Notes to the financial statements in the Company’s audited financial statements included in the registration statement herein.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and its results of operations, changes in quotaholders’ deficit and cash flows. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The balance sheet at December 31, 2024, was derived from audited annual financial statements but

F-41

Table of Contents

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. The accompanying unaudited financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which provides a more complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies and certain other information. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025, or for any future periods.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value, because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $43,787 and $68,934 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company had no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions made when accounting for items and matters such as, but not limited to, equity-based compensation and contingencies, are reasonable, based on information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as amounts reported on the statements of operations during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s reporting currency is the United States Dollar (“US$”), while its functional currency is the Euro (“€”), which it uses for conducting business and maintaining its books and records. The accompanying financial statements are presented in US$.

In accordance with ASC 830-30, Translation of Financial Statements, the Company translates assets and liabilities from its functional currency into US$ using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) within the statements of changes in quotaholders’ deficit.

Cash flows are translated at average exchange rates for the reporting period. As a result, the amounts presented in the statements of cash flows may not directly reconcile with the corresponding changes in balances reported on the balance sheets.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income or loss, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income or loss as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated comprehensive income (loss), as presented in the accompanying statements of changes in quotaholders’ deficit, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Net loss per share

The Company is a limited liability company (Srl.) under Italian law and does not issue traditional shares. Instead, ownership is divided into quotas (similar to membership interests in a limited liability company in the United States), which represent percentage ownership in the Company and not actual shares. Historical earnings per quota has not been included in these financial statements as the Company determined that representing net loss per quota is not a meaningful or material disclosure due to the Company’s current capital structure.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with ASC 820. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the Company uses a three-level hierarchy, which prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach). The levels of hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1 —

 

Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

   

Level 2 —

 

Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

   

Level 3 —

 

Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the most stringent level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, prepaids, accrued expenses, due from related parties, and note payable — related party. The recorded carrying amounts of these accounts approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

Other Income — Related Party

Other income — related party consists of engineering consulting services provided to related parties that are unrelated to the Company’s core business. This income is recognized as the related performance obligations are satisfied. Refer to Note 4. Related Party Transactions for further details.

Segments

ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company was managed as a single operating segment in accordance with the provisions in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance on segment reporting, which establishes standards for, and requires disclosure of, certain financial information related to reportable operating segments and geographic regions. Furthermore, the Company determined that a committee

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

comprised of our Chief Executive Office (“CEO”) and founding officers is the Chief Operating Decision Maker as this committee is responsible for making decisions regarding the allocation of resources and assessing performance as well as for strategic operational decisions and managing the organization as a whole.

Development Costs

The Company expenses development costs as incurred. Development costs consist primarily of personnel costs, including salaries and benefits. The Company incurred $32,485 and $11,995 of development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company may at times be involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. The Company will, from time to time, when appropriate in management’s estimation, record adequate reserves in the Company’s financial statements for pending litigation. Currently there are no pending or threatened litigation matters that management believes require accrual or disclosure. Refer to Note 5 for commitments or contractual obligations.

Income Taxes

The Company is domiciled in Italy and is subject to taxation under Italian tax laws. It is not domiciled in the United States and, as such, is not subject to U.S. federal or state income taxes.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates in effect for the year in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are provided if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management believes that it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company recognizes liabilities for potential tax payments to various tax authorities related to uncertain tax positions. The liabilities are based on a determination of whether and how much of a tax benefit taken by the Company in its tax filing is more likely than not to be realized following resolution of any potential contingencies present related to the tax benefit. Potential interest and penalties associated with such uncertain tax positions, if any, are recorded as components of income tax expense.

The Company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available as of the reporting date. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, the Company records the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, the Company does not recognize a tax benefit in the financial statements.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the JOBS Act). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised

F-44

Table of Contents

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company entered into an interest-free loan agreement (the “2024 Loan Agreement”) with its quotaholders for approximately $216,212, which was provided in full by March 31, 2025. The loan is scheduled to mature on December 31, 2040, with automatic annual extensions permitted until December 31, 2045, unless repayment is requested by the quotaholders.

On March 21, 2025, the Company entered into a second interest-free loan agreement (the “2025 Loan Agreement”) with its quotaholders. The total loan amount of $220,749 is to be provided in cash installments by April 10, 2025, and matures on December 31, 2040. The maturity is subject to annual extensions until December 31, 2024, unless repayment is requested by the quotaholders.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, quotaholders advanced a total of $287,815 and $106,780, respectively, related to the 2024 and 2025 Loan Agreements.

The Company utilizes office space provided by a related party at no charge. There is no formal lease agreement, and no amounts have been recognized for rent expense in the accompanying financial statements. Management has determined that the fair value of the contributed office space is not material to the financial statements.

Note 5. Commitment and Contingencies

Moonshot Agreement

On December 18, 2024, the Company entered into an engagement letter with Park Avenue Capital Group Corp. (“PAC”) which was immediately superseded to enter an agreement to appoint Moonshot Warehouse LTD (“Moonshot”) who is an affiliate of PAC to provide financial advisory services in connection with a potential business combination with a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”). Under the agreement, Moonshot is engaged to assist with negotiation, structuring, and execution of the business combination, preparation of marketing materials, and securing potential backstop financing.

Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has committed to a retainer fee of $50,000, payable upon execution of the engagement letter, and a LOI signature fee of $25,000, payable upon signing a mutually exclusive letter of intent with a SPAC. Upon the public announcement of the business combination, the Company will be required to pay an announcement milestone fee of $225,000. Additionally, upon the closing of the business combination, Moonshot will be entitled to (i) a cash success fee of $2,500,000, (ii) 623,000 shares of the SPAC/combined entity’s ordinary shares, of which 223,000 shares shall be issued at the time of the closing of the business combination and the remaining 400,000 shares shall be issued in four tranches, subject to vesting conditions tied to certain milestones, and (iii) one million warrants with a strike price of $7 per share, exercisable within 60 months from the business combination closing date.

The annual accrual is approximately 7% of total pay, with no ceiling, and is revalued each year by applying a pre-established rate of return of 1.50%, plus 75% of the Consumer Price Index, and is recorded by a book reserve. TFR is an unfunded plan.

Note 9. Quotaholders’ Deficit

The Company is an Srl., which is an Italian limited liability company similar to a limited liability company in the United States. Unlike corporations that issue shares of stock, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation designate ownership in the form of quotas, which represent its corporate capital.

Corporate Capital

As an Srl., the Company’s ownership structure is defined by “corporate capital” and “quotas” rather than shares, stock or units. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total authorized, subscribed and paid-up capital was $3,160, consisting of quotas from founders and investors. Voting rights are proportional to the percentage of quotas owned, and members are entitled to a share of profit and losses based on their ownership percentage.

In March 2024, certain quotaholders transferred portions of their holdings to new and existing quotaholders, resulting in a revised ownership structure. No additional contributions or quota issuance have occurred through March 31, 2025 or the year ended December 31, 2024. The transfer of quotas is subject to member approval, as outlined in the Company’s articles of incorporation. No dividends or distributions were declared for the year, in accordance with Italian regulations for early-stage “start-up innovative” companies.

Note 10. Segment Information

When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:

The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODM are general and administrative expenses and development costs. General and administrative expenses and development costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a potential business combination with a SPAC. The CODM also reviews general and administrative and development costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget.

Note 11. Income Taxes

The Company recorded no provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using statutory rates. Management of the Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon the realizability of its deferred tax assets. Under the applicable accounting standards, management has considered the Company’s history of losses and concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not recognize the benefits of the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established against the Company’s otherwise recognizable net deferred tax assets.

Note 12. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were available to be issued, and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to disclosures in the financial statements other than the following:

Lease Agreement

On April 1, 2025, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Nine Nuclear and Industrial Engineering S.R.L., a related party, to sublease three office rooms from a property unit located in Lucca, Sorbano del Giudice, Via della Chiesa XXXII n. 759. The three office rooms will be used exclusively for professional office purposes and related activities. The term of the lease agreement is 24 months starting from April 1, 2025 and ending on March 31, 2027. Each party may withdraw from the lease agreement at any time before the expiration date of the contract. The rent is €11,400 ($12,320 USD) per annum, €950 ($1,027 USD) per month plus €50 ($54 USD) monthly as a flat-rate reimbursement for utilities and cleaning costs (the “Lease Fee”), with the total monthly amount to be paid no later than the 10th of each month. The Lease Fee will be updated annually by 75% of the variation in the official consumer price indices for worker and employee families as determined by the Italian Statistics Day (“ISTAT”) in the previous year and subsequently year by year, with the first update taking effect on April 1, 2026. The lease agreement is subject to VAT according to Italian tax regulations.

Merger

Background

On April 21, 2025, Terra, GSR III, and such other parties that may become parties entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”). The following are the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement:

Pre-Closing Restructuring

Terra has undergone and will undergo a pre-closing restructuring (the “Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring”):

        Formation of Terra Innovatum Global Srl.:    On April 29, 2025, Terra created Terra Innovatum Global, srl. (“Terra Global”), with the same owners and ownership percentages as Terra.

        Contribution of Ownership Interests:    Following the formation of Terra Global, all owners of Terra will contribute 100% of their respective quotas in the capital of Terra to Terra Global (the “Contribution”). As a result of the Contribution, Terra will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Terra Global.

        Conversion:    Immediately after the Contribution and before any PIPE or alternative financing, Terra Global will be converted from an Italian limited liability company into a Dutch public limited company.

Formation of Terra MergerCo

After the Terra Pre-closing Restructuring, Terra Global will form a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Terra MergerCo”) as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary to complete the merger.

Closing Date

On the closing date of the merger, GSR III will continue as the surviving entity and become a wholly owned subsidiary of Terra Global. At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding ordinary share of GSR III will be exchanged for one ordinary share of Terra Global (the “Merger”).

Note 12. Subsequent Events (cont.)

Registration and Listing

Terra Global plans to register the shares with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and apply to list these shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Conditions and Closing Date

The Merger requires approval from GSR III shareholders and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

Accounting

The Merger will be accounted for as a recapitalization, with GSR III treated as the acquired company for accounting purposes and Terra Global will be treated as the accounting acquirer.

Bridge Loan

During May 2025 and June 2025, the Company entered into a series of debt note subscription agreements (the “Bridge Loans”) with multiple lenders, raising aggregate gross proceeds of $4,870,000.

During May 2025 and June 2025, the company entered into multiple letter agreements to convert the Bridge Loans into ordinary shares of Terra Global if the Merger is completed (the “Bridge Loan Conversion”). If the Bridge Loan Conversion happens at the time of the Merger, the shares will be priced at $7.00 each. If the Merger does not occur by April 30, 2026, the Bridge Loan Conversion price will instead be based on a valuation of $100,000,000 divided by the fully diluted equity of Terra. If the Merger is successful, the shares will be issued by Terra Global; if not, they will be issued by Terra or its parent company. If the Merger is completed, Terra is released from its obligations, and Terra Global assumes them. The lender is also entitled to a liquidation preference, receiving either 150% of the conversion price or a pro rata share of the liquidation proceeds, whichever is greater.

Following the closing of the Merger, the lenders will be issued Terra Global warrants to subscribe for up to a number underlying shares, with a range of 10% through 100% of new shares issued from the Bridge Loan Conversion. Such warrants, in aggregate, are exercisable for up to 960,794 ordinary shares of Terra Global at a subscription price of either $11.50 or $15.00 per share. These warrants are exercisable for either 36 or 48 months from the closing of the Merger. The issuance of certain of these warrants is contingent upon meeting funding thresholds specified within those Bridge Loan agreements (the “Bridge Package”). Effective June 6, 2025, the specified funding threshold of the Bridge Package was deemed completed.

The lender is also entitled to a 3% commission on funds raised through the PIPE transaction, payable in cash or shares.

Alliance Advisors, LLC Agreement

On May 9, 2025, the Company entered into an engagement letter with Alliance Advisors, LLC (“Alliance”) which outlines the terms under which Alliance will provide investor relations and advisory services to the Company starting May 1, 2025. Alliance will implement a financial communications program and receive a monthly fee of approximately $16,500 consisting of $10,000 in cash and $6,500 deferred until the Merger closes. A $75,000 success fee is also due upon a successful Nasdaq listing. The agreement includes provisions for additional services, expense reimbursements, and a 3% service fee for access to market intelligence tools. The engagement letter expires on April 30, 2026, however, has automatic annual renewals unless terminated with notice. If the Company does not complete the closing of the Merger by October 31, 2025, the Company will pay the deferred monthly fee in the aggregate amount of $39,000 by November 30th, 2025.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Quotaholders and Board of Directors of
Terra Innovatum S.R.L.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Terra Innovatum S.R.L. ( the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in quotaholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern Matter

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Terra Innovatum, Srl.
Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1. Organization

Terra Innovatum, Srl. (“Terra” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of Italy on September 23, 2021 (“Inception”) and is headquartered in Lucca, Italy. Terra is a pioneering nuclear energy technology company developing the SOLO Micro-Modular Nuclear Reactor (“SOLO”), a breakthrough solution designed to address critical challenges in clean energy production. Terra’s reactor represents a significant technological and engineering advancement, offering a compact, safe, and economically compelling alternative to traditional energy infrastructure. The SOLO reactor’s core innovation lies in its ability to generate 1 MWe of electricity baseload with a continuous operational cycle of up to 15 years, extendable to 45 years through strategic refuelling, with a fixed and competitive projected levelized cost of energy. Terra’s strategic roadmap targets commercial deployment by 2028, with a clear focus on delivering a scalable, modular nuclear solution that can be deployed across diverse markets — from industrial and infrastructure to remote and off-grid applications. Key differentiators include a gas-cooled design, multiple safety shutdown mechanisms, safeguard-by-design, small footprint, and the ability to use commercially available Low Enriched Uranium (“LEU”), which significantly reduces regulatory and technological barriers typical in nuclear energy development. Terra has made substantial progress in de-risking its First-of-a-Kind (“FOAK”) reactor, including initiating regulatory engagement with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“NRC”), and establishing a robust supply chain strategy. Terra has completed the reactor design, validated key technological components, and is advancing through critical regulatory milestones to achieve Terra’s 2028 FOAK reactor completion target.

Note 2. Going Concern

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $68,934. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company used approximately $41,192 in cash for operating activities. Historically, the Company has incurred recurring net losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $36,862.

These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date these financial statements were issued.

The Company is trying to alleviate the going concern risk through the debt and equity financing in the United States (“U.S.”) capital market to support its working capital after the Merger (refer to Note 12. Subsequent Events). However, there is no guarantee that the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern will be alleviated. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds.

These accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value, because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company had $68,934 and $1,677 in cash as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions made when accounting for items and matters such as, but not limited to, equity-based compensation and contingencies are

F-55

Table of Contents

Terra Innovatum, Srl.
Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

reasonable, based on information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as amounts reported on the statements of operations during the years presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s reporting currency is the United States Dollar (“US$”), while its functional currency is the Euro (“€”), which it uses for conducting business and maintaining its books and records. The accompanying financial statements are presented in US$.

In accordance with ASC 830-30, Translation of Financial Statements, the Company translates assets and liabilities from its functional currency into US$ using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) within the statements of changes in quotaholders’ deficit.

Cash flows are translated at average exchange rates for the reporting period. As a result, the amounts presented in the statements of cash flows may not directly reconcile with the corresponding changes in balances reported on the balance sheets.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income or loss, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income or loss as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated comprehensive income (loss), as presented in the accompanying statements of changes in quotaholders’ deficit, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation.

Net loss per share

The Company is a limited liability company (Srl.) under Italian law and does not issue traditional shares. Instead, ownership is divided into quotas (similar to membership interests in a limited liability company in the United States), which represent percentage ownership in the Company and not actual shares. Historical earnings per quota has not been included in these financial statements as the Company determined that representing net loss per quota is not a meaningful or material disclosure due to the Company’s current capital structure.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with ASC 820. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the Company uses a three-level hierarchy, which prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach). The levels of hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1 —

 

Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

   

Level 2 —

 

Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

   

Level 3 —

 

Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

F-56

Table of Contents

Terra Innovatum, Srl.
Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the most stringent level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, prepaids, accrued expenses, due from related parties, and note payable — related party. The recorded carrying amounts of these accounts approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

Other Income — Related Party

Other income — related party consists of engineering consulting services provided to related parties that are unrelated to the Company’s core business. This income is recognized as the related performance obligations are satisfied. Refer to Note 4. Related Party Transactions for further details.

Segments

ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company was managed as a single operating segment in accordance with the provisions in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance on segment reporting, which establishes standards for, and requires disclosure of, certain financial information related to reportable operating segments and geographic regions. Furthermore, the Company determined that a committee comprised of our Chief Executive Office (“CEO”) and founding officers is the Chief Operating Decision Maker as this committee is responsible for making decisions regarding the allocation of resources and assessing performance as well as for strategic operational decisions and managing the organization as a whole.

Development Costs

The Company expenses development costs as incurred. Development costs consist primarily of personnel costs, including salaries and benefits. The Company incurred $74,736 and $41,344 development costs for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company may at times be involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. The Company will, from time to time, when appropriate in management’s estimation, record adequate reserves in the Company’s financial statements for pending litigation. Currently there are no pending or threatened litigation matters that management believes require accrual or disclosure. Refer to Note 5 for commitments or contractual obligations.

Income Taxes

The Company is domiciled in Italy and is subject to taxation under Italian tax laws. It is not domiciled in the United States and, as such, is not subject to U.S. federal or state income taxes.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates in effect for the year in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are

F-57

Table of Contents

Terra Innovatum, Srl.
Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

provided if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management believes that it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company recognizes liabilities for potential tax payments to various tax authorities related to uncertain tax positions. The liabilities are based on a determination of whether and how much of a tax benefit taken by the Company in its tax filing is more likely than not to be realized following resolution of any potential contingencies present related to the tax benefit. Potential interest and penalties associated with such uncertain tax positions, if any, are recorded as components of income tax expense.

The Company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available as of the reporting date. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, the Company records the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, the Company does not recognize a tax benefit in the financial statements.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the JOBS Act). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued this ASU, which requires public companies, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted this update effective December 31, 2024, presenting our income tax disclosures as shown in Note 11.

ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued this ASU to update reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this update effective December 31, 2024, on a retrospective basis. Refer to Note 10 for the disclosures related to our single operating segment.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company earned other income of $129,170 and $38,941, respectively, for engineering consulting services provided to related parties. The consulting services are unrelated to the core business of the Company and are included in the statement of operations under other income — related parties.

F-58

Table of Contents

Terra Innovatum, Srl.
Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 4. Related Party Transactions (cont.)

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had amounts due from related parties of $0 and $8,830, respectively. These amounts corresponded to unbilled amounts due from a related party for engineering consulting services provided during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company entered into an interest-free loan agreement with its quotaholders. The total loan amount of $216,212 is to be provided in cash installments by January 15, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, quotaholders advanced $106,780 of the $216,212. The loan is scheduled to mature on December 31, 2040, with automatic annual extensions permitted until December 31, 2045, unless repayment is requested by the quotaholders.

The Company utilizes office space provided by a related party at no charge. There is no formal lease agreement, and no amounts have been recognized for rent expense in the accompanying financial statements. Management has determined that the fair value of the contributed office space is not material to the financial statements.

Note 5. Commitment and Contingencies

On December 18, 2024, the Company entered into an engagement letter with Park Avenue Capital Group Corp. (“PAC”) to provide financial advisory services in connection with a potential business combination with a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”). Under the agreement, PAC is engaged to assist with negotiation, structuring, and execution of the business combination, preparation of marketing materials, and securing potential backstop financing.

Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has committed to a retainer fee of $50,000, payable upon execution of the engagement letter, and a LOI signature fee of $25,000, payable upon signing a mutually exclusive letter of intent with a SPAC. Upon the public announcement of the business combination, the Company will be required to pay an announcement milestone fee of $225,000. Additionally, upon the closing of the business combination, PAC will be entitled to a cash success fee of $2,500,000, along with 623,000 shares of the SPAC/combined entity’s common stock, subject to vesting conditions tied to shareholder milestones, and one million warrants with a strike price of $7 per share, exercisable within 60 months from the business combination closing date.

The agreement includes an expense reimbursement provision, under which the Company is responsible for reasonable, pre-approved out-of-pocket expenses incurred by PAC, capped at $50,000 unless otherwise agreed.

Additionally, the Company has agreed to indemnify PAC for certain liabilities arising from its engagement.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has incurred $46,800 in advisory fees, related to the Retainer Fee and LOI Signature Fee. Future obligations under this agreement remain contingent upon the execution and closing of the business combination.

TFR represents a defined-benefit plan in Italy, a legally required end-of-service allowance, paid regardless of the reason for the employee’s departure from the company. The annual accrual is approximately 7% of total pay, with no ceiling, and is revalued each year by applying a pre-established rate of return of 1.50%, plus 75% of the Consumer Price Index, and is recorded by a book reserve. TFR is an unfunded plan.

Note 9. Quotaholders’ Deficit

The Company is an Srl., which is an Italian limited liability company similar to a limited liability company in the United States. Unlike corporations that issue shares of stock, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation designate ownership in the form of quotas, which represent its corporate capital.

Corporate Capital

As an Srl., the Company’s ownership structure is defined by “corporate capital” and “quotas” rather than shares, stock or units. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the total authorized, subscribed and paid-up capital was $3,160, consisting of quotas from founders and investors. Voting rights are proportional to the percentage of quotas owned, and members are entitled to a share of profit and losses based on their ownership percentage.

In March 2024, certain quotaholders transferred portions of their holdings to new and existing quotaholders, resulting in a revised ownership structure. No additional contributions or quota issuance have occurred during the year ending December 31, 2024. The transfer of quotas is subject to member approval, as outlined in the Company’s articles of incorporation. No dividends or distributions were declared for the year, in accordance with Italian regulations for early-stage “start-up innovative” companies.

Note 11. Income Taxes

The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODM are general and administrative expenses and development costs. General and administrative expenses and development costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a potential business combination with a SPAC. The CODM also reviews general and administrative and development costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget.

The Company is domiciled in Italy and is primarily subject to taxation in that country.

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any deferred tax assets or liabilities.

The Company complies with the provisions of ASC 740 in accounting for its uncertain tax positions. ASC 740 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely that not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no uncertain tax positions.

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties in income tax expense. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at December 31, 2024 and 2023.

The Company files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The statute of limitations for assessment by the Italian tax authorities remains open for the tax years December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2024 as the Company was incorporated in 2021. There are currently no income tax audits in progress. The resolution of tax matters is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 12. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued, which represents the date the financial statements were available to be issued, and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to disclosures in the financial statements other than the following:

Lease Agreement

On April 1, 2025, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Nine Nuclear and Industrial Engineering S.R.L., a related party, to sublease three office rooms from a property unit located in Lucca, Sorbano del Giudice, Via della Chiesa XXXII n. 759. The three office rooms will be used exclusively for professional office purposes and related activities. The term of the lease agreement is 24 months starting from April 1, 2025 and ending on March 31, 2027. Each party may withdraw from the lease agreement at any time before the expiration date of the contract. The rent is €11,400 ($12,320 USD) per annum, €950 ($1,027 USD) per month plus €50 ($54 USD) monthly as a flat-rate reimbursement for utilities and cleaning costs (the “Lease Fee”), with the total monthly amount to be paid no later than the 10th of each month. The Lease Fee will be updated annually by 75% of the variation in the official consumer price indices for worker and employee families as determined by the Italian Statistics Day (“ISTAT”) in the previous year and subsequently year by year, with the first update taking effect on April 1, 2026. The lease agreement is subject to VAT according to Italian tax regulations.

Merger

Background

On April 21, 2025, Terra, GSR III, and such other parties that may become parties entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”). The following are the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement:

Pre-Closing Restructuring

Terra has undergone and will undergo a pre-closing restructuring (the “Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring”):

        Formation of Terra Global:    On April 29, 2025, Terra created Terra Innovatum Global, srl. (“Terra Global”), with the same owners and ownership percentages as Terra.

        Contribution of Ownership Interests:    Following the formation of Terra Global, all owners of Terra will contribute 100% of their respective quotas in the capital of Terra to Terra Global (the “Contribution”). As a result of the Contribution, Terra will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Terra Global.

        Conversion:    Immediately after the Contribution and before any PIPE or alternative financing, Terra Global will be converted from an Italian limited liability company into a Dutch public limited company.

Formation of Terra MergerCo

After the Terra Pre-closing Restructuring, Terra Global will form a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Terra MergerCo”) as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary to complete the merger.

Closing Date

On the closing date of the merger, GSR III will continue as the surviving entity and become a wholly owned subsidiary of Terra Global. At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding ordinary share of GSR III will be exchanged for one ordinary share of Terra Global (the “Merger”).

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 12. Subsequent Events (cont.)

Registration and Listing

Terra Global plans to register the shares with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and apply to list these shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Conditions and Closing Date

The Merger requires approval from GSR III shareholders and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

Accounting

The Merger will be accounted for as a recapitalization, with GSR III treated as the acquired company for accounting purposes and Terra Global will be treated as the accounting acquirer.

Bridge Loan

On May 4, 2025, the Company entered into a debt note subscription agreement (the “Bridge Loan”). According to the terms of the Bridge Loan agreement, the issuer agreed to issue five debt notes, for the principal amount of $100,000 each, having an aggregate value equal to $500,000.

On May 6, 2025, the Company entered into a letter agreement to convert the Bridge Loan into ordinary shares of Terra Global if the Merger is completed (the “Bridge Loan Conversion”). If the Bridge Loan Conversion happens at the time of the Merger, the shares will be priced at $7.00 each. If the Merger does not occur by April 30, 2026, the Bridge Loan Conversion price will instead be based on a valuation of $100,000,000 divided by the fully diluted equity of Terra. If the Merger is successful, the shares will be issued by Terra Global; if not, they will be issued by Terra or its parent company. If the Merger is completed, Terra is released from its obligations, and Terra Global assumes them. The lender is also entitled to a liquidation preference, receiving either 150% of the conversion price or a pro rata share of the liquidation proceeds, whichever is greater. Additionally, after the Merger, the lender will receive Terra Global warrants equal to 10% of new shares issued to purchase additional shares at $11.50 each (exercisable within 48 months) and a 3% commission on funds raised through a related PIPE transaction, payable in cash or shares.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Quotaholders’ of
Terra Innovatum Global S.R.L.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Terra Innovatum Global S.R.L. (the “Company”) as of April 29, 2025, and the statements of quotaholders’ equity and cash flows for the period beginning April 29, 2025 (inception) and ended April 29, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of April 29, 2025, and of its cash flows for the period beginning April 29, 2025 (inception) and ended April 29, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern Matter

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has had no operations which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

TERRA INNOVATUM GLOBAL S.R.L.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.      NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Terra Innovatum Global S.R.L. (“Terra Global” or the “Company”), an Italian limited liability company limited by shares was formed on April 29, 2025, for the purpose of becoming the ultimate parent company following the transactions contemplated in a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) entered into on April 21, 2025, by Terra Innovatum, Srl. (“Terra OpCo”), GSR III Acquisition Corp. (“GSR III”), and other parties. See Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies for detail. The Company’s legal headquarters is in Lucca Italy, San Marco district at Via Matteo Trenta No. 117.

2.      LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

As of April 29, 2025, the Company has had no operations. As of April 29, 2025, the Company had an aggregate cash balance of $11,396.

These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date these financial statements were issued.

The Company is trying to alleviate the going concern risk through the debt and equity financing in the United States (“U.S.”) capital market to support its working capital after a merger transaction. However, there is no guarantee that the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern will be alleviated. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds.

These accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

3.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Recent Accounting Standards and Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statement.

Basis of accounting

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Use of estimates

The preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are adjusted to reflect actual experience when necessary. There were no significant estimates as of April 29, 2025.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s reporting currency is the United States Dollar (“US$”), while its functional currency is the Euro (“€”), which it uses for conducting business and maintaining its books and records. The accompanying financial statements are presented in US$.

In accordance with ASC 830-30, Translation of Financial Statements, the Company translates assets and liabilities from its functional currency into US$ using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) within the statements of changes in quotaholders’ equity.

TERRA INNOVATUM GLOBAL S.R.L.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Net loss per share

The Company is a limited liability company (Srl.) under Italian law and does not issue traditional shares. Instead, ownership is divided into quotas (similar to membership interests in a limited liability company in the United States), which represent percentage ownership in the Company and not actual shares. Historical earning per quota has not been included in these financial statements as the Company determined that representing net loss per quota is not a meaningful or material disclosure due to the Company’s current capital structure, and due to the fact that the Company has not started operations.

Emerging growth company

The Company is an “emerging growth company”, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to take advantage of the extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards and to adopt certain of the reduced disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies. As a result of the accounting standards election, the Company will not be subject to the same implementation timeline for new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies which may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements to those of other public companies more difficult.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

4.      QUOTAHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company is an Srl., which is an Italian limited liability company similar to a limited liability company in the U.S. Unlike corporations that issue shares of stock, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation designate ownership in the form of quotas, which represent its corporate capital.

Corporate Capital

As an Srl., the Company’s ownership structure is defined by “corporate capital” and “quotas” rather than shares, stock or units. As of April 29, 2025, the total authorized, subscribed and paid-up capital was $11,396, consisting of quotas from founders and investors. Voting rights are proportional to the percentage of quotas owned, and members are entitled to a share of profit and losses based on their ownership percentage.

No dividends or distributions were declared as of April 29, 2025.

5.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Merger

Background

On April 21, 2025, Terra OpCo, GSR III, and such other parties that may become parties entered into the Merger Agreement. This agreement outlines a series of transactions that formed Terra Global and will ultimately result in Terra OpCo becoming a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Terra Global. Terra Global will be the publicly traded holding company of the combined entity.

Time, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 2:94b of the DCC, PubCo shall cause the Exchange Agent, acting solely in its capacity as exchange agent hereunder, to contribute, for the account and benefit of the Pre-Closing GSR III Holders, all of the issued and outstanding shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares that were issued to the Exchange Agent for the account and benefit of the former holders of shares pursuant to Section 2.2(g) to PubCo as a contribution in kind (inbreng op aandelen anders dan in geld). In consideration of this contribution in kind, at the Merger Effective Time, PubCo shall (i) issue (uitgeven) and deliver (leveren) to the Exchange Agent acting as an exchange agent for and on behalf of Cede & Co, a central securities clearing depository existing under the Laws of New York, having its address at 55 Water Street, New York, NY 10041, United States of America, as nominee for DTC, a number of validly issued, fully paid PubCo Ordinary Shares not subject to calls by PubCo or its creditors for any further payment on such PubCo Ordinary Share equal to the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to Section 2.2(g) and (ii) cause, upon delivery of the foregoing PubCo Ordinary Shares to the Exchange Agent for the account and benefit of the Pre-Closing GSR III Holders, to be made appropriate arrangements for the PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to Section 2.2(g) to be represented by a book-entry without interest (subject to any applicable withholding Tax) (such PubCo Ordinary Shares, the Exchange Fund).

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as practicable after the Merger Effective Time (and in no event later than five Business Days after the Merger Effective Time), PubCo shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each Pre-Closing GSR III Holder which were converted pursuant to Section 2.2(g) into the Merger Consideration instructions for use in effecting the surrender of book-entry shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration in book-entry form. Upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), the holder of a Share which was converted pursuant to Section 2.2(g) into the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, subject to any required withholding Taxes, the Merger Consideration in book-entry form, without interest (subject to any applicable withholding Tax), for each Share surrendered. The PubCo Ordinary Shares to be delivered as Merger Consideration shall be settled through DTC and issued in uncertificated book-entry form through the procedures of DTC, unless a physical PubCo Ordinary Share is required by applicable Law, in which case PubCo shall cause the Exchange Agent to promptly send certificates representing such PubCo Ordinary Shares to such holder. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a person other than the person in whose name the surrendered book-entry share in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that (i) the person requesting such exchange present proper evidence of transfer or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (ii) the person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a person other than the registered holder of book-entry share surrendered or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of PubCo that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged PubCo Ordinary Shares. All PubCo Ordinary Shares to be issued as the Merger Consideration shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Merger Effective Time. Subject to the effect of escheat, Tax or other applicable Laws, the holder of the book-entry shares representing whole PubCo Ordinary Shares issued in exchange therefor will be promptly paid, without interest (subject to any applicable withholding Tax), the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Merger Effective Time and theretofore paid with respect to such whole PubCo Ordinary Shares.

(d) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in GSR III Stock. At the Merger Effective Time, the stock transfer books of GSR III shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Company, as applicable, of the shares of GSR III Ordinary Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time. From and after the Merger Effective Time, the holders of book-entry shares that evidenced ownership of shares of GSR III Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of GSR III Ordinary Shares other than the right to receive the (i) Merger Consideration and (ii) any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.2(b), in each case without interest (subject to any applicable withholding Tax), except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law.

(e) Adjustments to Per Share Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, share split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, share dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the capital stock of GSR III or Terra OpCo occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Merger Effective Time.

(f) Termination of Fund. At any time following the first anniversary of the Closing Date, PubCo shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any funds or other property (including any interest received with respect thereto) that had been made available to the Exchange Agent and which have not been disbursed in accordance with this Article III, and thereafter persons entitled to receive payment pursuant to this Article III shall be entitled to look only to PubCo (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the payment of any Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.2(b), in each case without interest (subject to any applicable withholding Tax), that may be payable upon surrender of any GSR III Ordinary Shares held by such holders, as determined pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon.

(g) No Liability. None of the Exchange Agent, PubCo or the Surviving Company will be liable to any person for any Merger Consideration from the Exchange Fund or other cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by any person as of a date that is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of PubCo free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(h) Withholding Taxes. Each of PubCo and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any applicable provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law related to Taxes. To the extent amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 4.12 Terra Benefit Plans.

(a) Section 4.12(a) of the Terra Disclosure Letter sets forth a true and complete list, by the jurisdiction, of each material Terra Benefit Plan. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Terra Benefit Plan” means any “employee benefit plan”, policy, program or agreement (including any employment, individual consulting, service, bonus, incentive or deferred compensation, profit sharing, equity or equity-based compensation, severance, retention, pension supplemental retirement, change in control, vacation, paid time off, health, dental, life insurance, disability, fringe benefit or similar plan, policy, program or agreement), written or unwritten, funded or unfunded, providing compensation or other benefits to any current or former director, officer, or employee or individual service provider of a Terra Entity which are maintained, sponsored or contributed to (or required to be contributed to) by any Terra Entity or otherwise with respect to which any Terra Entity has any current or contingent liability, in each case whether or not subject to the Laws of the United States, but excluding in each case any statutory plan, program or arrangement that is required under applicable law and maintained by any Governmental Authority (any such plan, a “Governmental Plan”). Section 4.12(a) of the Terra Disclosure Letter specifically identifies any Terra Benefit Plan that is maintained for the benefit of any current or former director, officer, individual consultant, worker or employee of any Terra Entity, who in each case is working for the Terra Entities, and is subject to the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States (a “Foreign Benefit Plan”). No Terra Entity has ever maintained, sponsored or contributed to (or been required to contribute to) or have any liability with respect to any Terra Benefit Plan for the benefit of individuals residing or providing services within the United States.

(b) Each Terra Benefit Plan has been established, maintained, funded, operated and administered in compliance in all material respects with its terms and all applicable Laws and requirements of applicable regulatory authorities. All contributions, premiums and other payments that are required to be paid by any Terra Entity in respect of a Terra Benefit Plan and Governmental Plan have been timely paid in all material respects, and any such amounts not yet due have been paid or properly accrued in all material respects. As of the date hereof, no Terra Benefit Plan is governed by the Laws of the United States.

(c) Each Foreign Benefit Plan that is required to be registered or intended to be tax exempt has been registered (and, where applicable, accepted for registration) and is tax exempt and has been maintained in good standing, to the extent applicable, with each Governmental Authority and material compliance with the Law and with the collective and individual agreements.

(c) The parties intend that the Conversion be treated as a change in tax classification from a partnership to an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes as described in Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(g)(1)(i).

(d) Each party agrees to act in good faith, consistent with the Intended U.S. Tax Treatment, and use reasonable best efforts to cause the Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring and the Merger taken together with other relevant transactions (including any Transaction Financing that is an equity financing), to qualify for the Intended U.S. Tax Treatment.

Upon the written request of any PubCo 5% Shareholder made following the Closing Date, PubCo shall (i) furnish to such PubCo 5% Shareholder such information as such PubCo 5% Shareholder reasonably requests in connection with such PubCo 5% Shareholder’s preparation of a GRA and any necessary Tax forms with respect thereto during the period in which such GRA is in place under Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-8, and (ii) provide such PubCo 5% Shareholder with the information reasonably requested by such PubCo 5% Shareholder for purposes of such PubCo 5% Shareholder’s tax compliance during the period in which such GRA is in place under Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-8, including for purposes of determining whether there has been a gain “triggering event” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-8) under the terms of such PubCo 5% Shareholder’s GRA.

To the extent a Tax opinion with respect to the treatment of GSR III or GSR III Shareholders is being requested or required by the SEC, Latham & Watkins LLP shall (upon receipt of customary Tax representation letters reasonably satisfactory to such counsel) provide such Tax opinion (or, if applicable, to explain why it is not able to provide such opinion).

(e) prior to the Closing, by written notice to GSR III from Terra OpCo if (i) there is any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of GSR III set forth in this Agreement, such that the conditions specified in Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(b) would not be satisfied at the Closing (a “Terminating GSR III Breach”), except that, if any such Terminating GSR III Breach is curable by GSR III through the exercise of its reasonable best efforts, then, for a period of up to 20 days after receipt by GSR III of notice from Terra OpCo of such breach (the “GSR III Cure Period”), such termination shall not be effective, and such termination shall become effective only if the Terminating GSR III Breach is not cured within the GSR III Cure Period or (ii) the Closing has not occurred on or before the Agreement End Date, unless any of the Terra Entities is then in material breach of this Agreement.

liability of the Terra Entities or GSR III, as the case may be, for any fraud or willful and material breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination, except that the provisions of this Section 10.2 and Article XI and the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Article XI
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.1 Trust Account Waiver. Each of the Terra Entities acknowledges that GSR III is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a Business Combination. Each of the Terra Entities further acknowledges that, as described in the prospectus dated November 7, 2024 (the “Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of GSR III assets consist of the cash proceeds of GSR III’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account for the benefit of GSR III, certain of its public shareholders and the underwriters of GSR III’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”). Each of the Terra Entities acknowledges that it has been advised by GSR III that, except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to GSR III to pay its Tax, the Trust Agreement provides that cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only (a) if GSR III completes the transaction which constitutes a Business Combination, then to those Persons and in such amounts as described in the Prospectus; (b) if GSR III fails to complete a Business Combination within the allotted time period and liquidates, subject to the terms of the Trust Agreement, to GSR III in limited amounts to permit GSR III to pay the costs and expenses of its liquidation and dissolution, and then to GSR III’s public shareholders; and (c) if GSR III holds a shareholder vote to amend GSR III’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the obligation to redeem 100% of GSR III Ordinary Share (prior to the Closing) if GSR III fails to complete a Business Combination within the allotted time period or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, then for the redemption of any GSR III Ordinary Share (prior to the Closing) properly tendered in connection with such vote. For and in consideration of GSR III entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of the Terra Entities, on behalf of themselves and their respective Affiliates, hereby agrees that it does not now have and shall not at any time hereafter have, and irrevocably waives any right, title, interest or claim of any kind it or any of its respective Affiliates have or may have in the future, in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom and further agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom as a result of, arising out of, this Agreement and any negotiations, Contracts or agreements with GSR III or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability. Each of the Terra Entities agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by GSR III to induce GSR III to enter in this Agreement, and each of the Terra Entities further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against such party and each of its Affiliates under applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) nothing in this Section 11.1 shall serve to limit or prohibit the Terra Entities’ right to pursue a claim against GSR III for legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account (other than distributions therefrom directly or indirectly to GSR III’s public shareholders), for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the Transactions (including a claim for GSR III to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Trust Agreement so long as such claim would not affect GSR III’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate the GSR III Share Redemptions) and (y) nothing in this Section 11.1 shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that any of the Terra Entities may have in the future against GSR III’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds, but excluding distributions from the Trust Account directly or indirectly to GSR III’s public shareholders).

Section 11.2 Waiver. Any party to this Agreement may, at any time prior to the Closing, by action taken by its Board of Directors, Board of Managers or other Persons thereunto duly authorized, (a) extend the time for the performance of the obligations or acts of the other parties to this Agreement, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties (of another party to this Agreement) that are contained in this Agreement or (c) waive compliance by the other parties to this Agreement with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement, but such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party granting such extension or waiver.

Section 11.8 Headings; Counterparts. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by electronic mail or in .pdf), and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties had signed the same document, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Any disclosure made by a party in the applicable Disclosure Letter, or any section of the applicable Disclosure Letter, with reference to any section of this Agreement or section of the applicable Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be a disclosure with respect to such other applicable sections of this Agreement or sections of applicable Disclosure Letter if it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that such disclosure is responsive to such other section of this Agreement or section of the applicable Disclosure Letter.

The disclosure of any information shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that such information is required to be disclosed in connection with the representations and warranties made in this Agreement, nor shall such information be deemed to establish a standard of materiality.

No representations, warranties, covenants, understandings, agreements, oral or otherwise, relating to the Transactions exist between such parties except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

Annex A-56

Table of Contents

(b) The restriction in Section 11.12(a) shall not apply to the extent the public announcement is required by applicable securities Law, any Governmental Authority or stock exchange rule; provided, however, that in such an event, the party making the announcement shall use its reasonable best efforts to consult with the other party in advance as to its form, content and timing.

Section 11.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The parties further agree that if any provision contained in this Agreement is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any such provision that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the parties.

Section 11.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY PROCEEDING, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO OR ANY FINANCING IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 11.15 Arbitration. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that any Proceeding based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreements or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (each a “Related Proceeding”) shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Swiss Rules of International Arbitration of the Swiss Centre (the “Rules”) in force on the date on which the Notice of Arbitration is submitted in accordance with those Rules. The arbitral tribunal shall be composed of three arbitrators, appointed in accordance with the Rules. The seat of the arbitration shall be in New York, New York. Each arbitrator must be (a) an attorney with significant experience with complex cross-border commercial transactions with appropriate experience in New York contract law and (b) neutral and independent of each Party. The arbitrators may enter a default decision against any Party who fails to participate in the arbitration proceedings with respect to any Related Proceeding. The language of the proceeding shall be English. The decision of the arbitrators on the points in dispute will be final, unappealable and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Parties and the arbitrators will keep confidential, and will not disclose to any Person, except the Parties’ respective Representatives (who shall keep any such information confidential as provided in this sentence), or as may be required by applicable Law or any Order of a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction, the existence of any Related Proceeding under this Section 11.15, the referral of any such Related Proceeding to arbitration or the status or resolution thereof. The initiation of any Related Proceeding pursuant to this Section 11.15 will toll the applicable statute of limitations for the duration of any such Related Proceeding.

Section 11.16 Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions

Annex A-57

Table of Contents

of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the Transactions) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

Section 11.17 Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage could occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specific enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any Action shall be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no party shall allege, and each party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law, and each party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection therewith.

Section 11.18 Non-Recourse.

(a) Solely with respect to the Terra Entities and GSR III, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions may only be brought against, the Terra Entities and GSR III as named parties to this Agreement; and

(b) Except to the extent a Person is a party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such party to this Agreement), (i) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative of the Terra Entities (each, a “Terra Non-Recourse Party”) or GSR III (each, a “GSR III Non-Recourse Party”) and (ii) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in Contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of the Terra Entities or GSR III under this Agreement for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the Sponsor shall not have any obligations under this Agreement.

Section 11.19 Non-Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Except as otherwise contemplated by Section 10.2, none of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or other agreements in this Agreement or in any certificate, statement or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including any rights arising out of any breach of such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements and other provisions, shall survive the Closing and shall terminate and expire upon the occurrence of the Closing (and there shall be no liability after the Closing in respect of such provisions), except for (a) those covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that by their terms expressly apply in whole or in part after the Closing and then only with respect to any breaches occurring after the Closing and (b) this Section 11.19.

Section 11.20 Conflicts and Privilege.

(a) GSR III and the Terra Entities hereby agree that, in the event a dispute with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions arises after the Closing between or among GSR III and/or Sponsor, on the one hand, and the Terra Entities, on the other hand, any legal counsel (including Latham & Watkins LLP) that represented GSR III and/or Sponsor prior to the Closing may represent Sponsor in such dispute even though the interests of Sponsor may be directly adverse to GSR III, and even though such counsel may have represented GSR III in a matter substantially related to such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for GSR III and/or Sponsor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any privileged communications or information shared by the Terra Entities prior to the Closing with GSR III or Sponsor (in any capacity) under a common interest agreement shall remain the privileged communications or information of the Terra Entities following the Closing.

Annex A-58

(b) GSR III and the Terra Entities hereby agree that, in the event a dispute with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions arises after the Closing between or among the Terra Designated Directors, on the one hand, and the Terra Entities and/or GSR III, on the other hand, any legal counsel (including Loeb & Loeb LLP) that represented the Terra Designated Directors and/or the Terra Entities prior to the Closing may represent the Terra Designated Directors in such dispute even though the interests of the Terra Designated Directors may be directly adverse to GSR III and/or the Terra Entities, and even though such counsel may have represented GSR III and/or the Terra Entities in a matter substantially related to such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for GSR III, the Terra Entities and/or the Terra Designated Directors. GSR III and the Terra Entities further agree that, as to all legally privileged communications prior to the Closing between or among any legal counsel (including Loeb & Loeb LLP) that represented the Terra Designated Directors and/or the Terra Entities prior to the Closing and any one or more such Persons that relate in any way to the Transactions, the attorney/client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the Terra Designated Directors and may be controlled by such Terra Designated Directors, and shall not pass to or be claimed or controlled by GSR III (after giving effect to the Closing) or the Terra Entities; provided that the Terra Designated Directors shall not waive such attorney/client privilege other than to the extent they determine appropriate in connection with the enforcement or defense of their respective rights or obligations existing under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any privileged communications or information shared by GSR III prior to the Closing with the Terra Designated Directors (in any capacity) under a common interest agreement shall remain the privileged communications or information of the Terra Entities following the Closing.

Austin, TX 78731

and

Terra Innovatum s.r.l., an Italian Società a responsabilità limitata
Via Matteo Trenta 117
Lucca, Italy

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among GSR III Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Island exempted company (“GSR III”), and Terra Innovatum s.r.l., an Italian Società a responsabilità limitata (“Terra OpCo”), and such other parties that will sign joinders to the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with the Terra Pre-Closing Restructuring (as defined therein). This sponsor support agreement (“Sponsor Agreement”) is being entered into and delivered by GSR III, GSR III Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), and Terra OpCo in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Business Combination Agreement.

In consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, GSR III, Sponsor and Terra OpCo agree that:

1. Conversion of Vesting Sponsor Shares.

(a) GSR III Class B Ordinary Shares held by Sponsor shall be converted at the Closing, on a one-to-one basis, into PubCo Ordinary Shares, and 549,500 of those resulting PubCo Ordinary Shares shall be subject to the vesting conditions described below (the “Vesting Sponsor Shares”). The Vesting Sponsor Shares shall be subject to vesting or forfeiture and cancellation as follows:

(i) if at any time during the First Conversion Period, (a) the PubCo Trading Price is greater than $12.00, or (b) the submittal and docketing of 75% (10 of 13) of the planned Pre-Application Topical Reports following the NEI Guidance, whichever occurs earlier, then 25% of the Vesting Sponsor Shares automatically and will immediately vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture and cancellation;

(ii) if at any time during the First Conversion Period, (a) the PubCo Trading Price is greater than $14.00, or (b) NRC docketing of the SOLO Construction Permit Application (PSAR), pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50, whichever occurs earlier, then 25% of the Vesting Sponsor Shares shall automatically and will immediately vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture and cancellation;

(iii) if at any time during the Second Conversion Period, (a) the PubCo Trading Price is greater than $16.00, or (b) acceptance and docketing of SOLO Test Reactor Construction Permit (FSAR and CPA) in compliance with the requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 as set forth in 10 CFR, whichever occurs earlier, then 25% of the Vesting Sponsor Shares shall automatically and will immediately vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture and cancellation; and

(iv) if at any time during the Second Conversion Period, (a) the PubCo Trading Price is greater than $18.00, or (b) issuance of an Operating License of SOLO Test Reactor pursuant 10 CFR Part 50, whichever occurs earlier, then 25% of the Vesting Sponsor Shares shall automatically and will immediately vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture and cancellation.

Annex C-1

Table of Contents

(v) If, (i) prior to the end of the applicable Conversion Period, the applicable share price triggers have not been achieved, (ii) PubCo enters into a definitive agreement that would result in a Change of Control transaction, and (iii) (x) the price per share of PubCo Ordinary Shares payable to the shareholders of PubCo in such Change of Control transaction (the “Change of Control Offer Price”) is greater than $5.00 per share, then as of immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control transaction, (A) the applicable share price triggers that have not been achieved shall be deemed to have been satisfied, and (B) the Vesting Sponsor Shares which have not vested, shall immediately vest as if such Change of Control Offer Price constituted the applicable share price trigger pursuant to Section 1(a), in full and final satisfaction of Sponsor’s rights to receive the Sponsor Vesting Sponsor Shares pursuant to Section 1(a); or (y) the Change of Control Offer Price is less $5.00 per share but greater than $2.50 per share, then as of immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control transaction, half of the Vesting Sponsor Shares which have not vested, shall immediately vest, in full and final satisfaction of Sponsor’s rights to receive the Sponsor Vesting Shares pursuant to Section 1(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sponsor Agreement, if PubCo Preferred Shares are otherwise converted into PubCo Ordinary Shares and distributed to Terra OpCo Quotaholders, a pro rata portion of the Sponsor Vesting Shares shall immediately vest and no longer be subject to the forfeiture conditions provided in this Sponsor Agreement.

(b) If, upon the expiration of the applicable Conversion Period, the vesting of any of Vesting Sponsor Shares has not occurred, then the applicable Vesting Sponsor Shares that failed to vest pursuant to Section 1(a), as applicable, and any dividends or distributions previously paid or made in respect thereof will be automatically forfeited and transferred to PubCo for no consideration, and no Person (other than PubCo) will have any further right with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the aggregate number of Vesting Sponsor Shares subject to forfeiture hereunder be greater than 549,500 PubCo Ordinary Shares.

2. Waiver of Anti-dilution Protection.

REGISTRATIONS

2.1 Shelf Registration.

2.1.1 Filing. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file, within 60 days of the Closing Date or such earlier date as required in accordance with any Non-Redemption Agreement, a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3 Shelf”) or, if the Company is not eligible to use a Registration Statement on Form S-3, a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1 Shelf,” and together with the Form S-3 Shelf, as applicable (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration), the “Shelf”), in each case, covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities (determined as of two Business Days prior to such filing) on a delayed or continuous basis. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing, but in no event later than 90 days after the initial filing thereof (or 120 days after the initial filing thereof if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Shelf) or such other earlier date as required in accordance with any Non-Redemption Agreement. The Shelf shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or

Annex D-5

Table of Contents

combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder. The Company shall maintain the Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep such Shelf continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. In the event the Company files a Form S-1 Shelf, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration) to a Form S-3 Shelf as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3.

2.1.2 Subsequent Shelf Registration. If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, the Company shall, subject to Section 4.4, use its reasonable best efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its reasonable best efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two Business Days prior to such filing), and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (a) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement if the Company is a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer) and (b) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form. In the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company, upon request of a Holder shall promptly use its reasonable best efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the Company’s option, the Shelf or a Subsequent Shelf Registration and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be subject to the terms hereof.

2.1.3 Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. At any time and from time to time after the Shelf has been declared effective by the Commission, a Holder or a group of Holders (in such case, each, a “Demanding Holder”) may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Demanding Holder(s) with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $50,000,000 (the “Minimum Takedown Threshold”). All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Demanding Holder(s) that requested such Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the initial Demanding Holder’s prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and to agree to the pricing and other terms of such offering. The Company is not obligated to effect more than (A) for the Management Holders, acting individually or together, three Underwritten Shelf Takedowns pursuant to this subsection 2.1.3 in any 12-month period and (B) for Sponsor, one Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to this subsection 2.1.3 in any 12-month period; provided that, the Company shall not be obligated to effect any Underwritten Shelf Takedowns for Sponsor during the 12-month period beginning on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may effect any Underwritten Offering pursuant to any then effective Registration Statement, including a Form S-3, that is then available for such offering.

2.1.4 Reduction of Underwritten Shelf Takedown. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advise the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Holders requesting piggyback rights pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (the “Requesting Holders”) (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and all other equity securities, if any, that have been requested to be

Annex D-6

Table of Contents

sold in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to separate written contractual piggyback registration rights held by any other shareholders, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: At all times (a) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (b) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (a), the equity securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (c) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) such other equity securities of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to include in such Underwritten Shelf Offering pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.1.5 Withdrawal. Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, any Demanding Holder initiating an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall have the right to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification (a “Withdrawal Notice”) to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Shelf Takedown; provided that any Demanding Holder (to the extent they are not withdrawing) may elect to have the Company continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if the Minimum Takedown Threshold would still be satisfied by the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown by such Demanding Holders, as applicable or if such Underwritten Shelf Takedown would be made with respect to all of the Registrable Securities of such Holder. If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall constitute a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown for purposes of subsection 2.1.3, unless either (a) such withdrawal occurs during a period the Company has deferred taking action pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof or (b) the withdrawing Demanding Holder reimburses the Company for all Registration Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown; provided that, if a Holder elects to continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, such Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall count as an Underwritten Shelf Takedown demanded by such Holder, as applicable, for purposes of subsection 2.1.3. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, the Company shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had elected to participate in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with an Underwritten Shelf Takedown prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.1.5, other than if a Demanding Holder elects to pay such Registration Expenses pursuant to the second sentence of this subsection 2.1.5.

2.2 Piggyback Registration.

2.2.1 Piggyback Rights. If the Company (for its own account or for the account of persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities) or any Holder proposes to conduct a registered offering of, or if the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Registration of equity securities of the Company, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities of the Company, for its own account or for the account of shareholders of the Company (or by the Company and by the shareholders of the Company including, without limitation, an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof), other than a Registration Statement (or any registered offering with respect thereto) (a) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (b) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), (c) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing shareholders, (d) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (e) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed offering to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the launch date of such offering, which notice shall (i) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any and if known, in such offering, and (ii) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to include in such registered offering such number of

Annex D-7

Table of Contents

Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five days after receipt of such written notice (such registered offering, a “Piggyback Registration”). The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and, if applicable, shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of such Piggyback Registration to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.2.1 to be included therein on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such registered offering and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The inclusion of any Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to such Holder’s agreement to abide by the terms of Section 4.3 below.

2.2.2 Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of the equity securities that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (a) the Registrable Securities, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof and (b) the equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual registration rights of other shareholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

(i) If the Registration or registered offering is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering (A) first, the equity securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 hereof, pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Registration, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggyback registration rights of other shareholders of the Company, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

(ii) If the Registration or registered offering is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering (A) first, the equity securities of such requesting persons or entities that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1, pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the equity securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the equity securities for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual piggyback arrangements with such persons or entities that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

(iii) If the Registration or registered offering is pursuant to a request by Holder(s) of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, then the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering securities pursuant to subsection 2.1.4.

2.2.3 Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities (other than a Demanding Holder, whose right to withdraw from an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, and related obligations, shall be governed by subsection 2.1.5) shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing such transaction. The Company (whether on its

Annex D-8

Table of Contents

own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration (which, in no circumstance, shall include the Shelf) at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (other than subsection 2.1.5), the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.3.

2.2.4 Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights; For purposes of clarity, subject to subsection 2.1.5, any Piggyback Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown under subsection 2.1.3 hereof.

2.3 Restrictions on Transfer. In connection with any Underwritten Offering of equity securities of the Company, each Holder participating in such Underwritten Offering agrees that it shall not Transfer any Company Ordinary Shares (other than those included in such offering pursuant to this Agreement), without the prior written consent of the Company, during the seven days prior (to the extent notice of such Underwritten Offering has been provided) to, and the 30-day period beginning on, the date of pricing of such offering, except in the event the Underwriter managing the offering otherwise agrees to a shorter period by written consent. Each Holder agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such Holders). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to an Underwritten Offering, a Holder shall not be subject to this Section 2.3 with respect to an Underwritten Offering unless each shareholder of the Company that (together with their Affiliates) holds at least 10% of the issued and outstanding Company Ordinary Shares (on a fully-exchanged basis after giving effect to the exchange of all Common Units for Company Ordinary Shares) and each of the Company’s directors and executive officers have agreed to a lock-up on terms at least as restrictive with respect to such Underwritten Offering as requested of the Holders. A Holder’s obligations under the second sentence of this Section 2.3 shall only apply for so long as such Holder (together with its Affiliates) holds at least 10% of the issued and outstanding Company Ordinary Shares (on a fully-exchanged basis after giving effect to the exchange of all Common Units for Company Ordinary Shares).

LOCK-UP

3.1 Lock-Up

3.1.2 Each of the Management Holders, Terra OpCo Quotaholders and Sponsor (the “Locked-Up Holders”), severally, and not jointly, agrees with the Company not to effect any Transfer, or make a public announcement of any intention to effect such Transfer, of any Lock-Up Shares Beneficially Owned or otherwise held by such Locked-Up Holder during the Lock-Up Period (such restrictions, the “Lock-Up”); provided that the Lock-Up shall not apply to Transfers permitted pursuant to Section 3.2; provided, further, that any waiver of the Lock-Up shall require the approval of a majority of the independent directors of the Board; provided, further, that any such waiver must apply to an equal proportionate share of the Lock-Up Shares held by each Locked-Up Holder. “Lock-Up Shares” means the equity securities of the Company held by the Locked-Up Holders, directly or indirectly, as of the Closing Date.

3.1.3 During the Lock-Up Period, any purported Transfer of Lock-Up Shares other than in accordance with this Agreement shall be null and void, and the Company shall refuse to recognize any such Transfer for any purpose.

3.1.4 The Locked-Up Holders acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the equity securities of the Company Beneficially Owned by such Locked-Up Holder shall remain subject to any restrictions on Transfer under applicable securities Laws of any Governmental Authority, including all applicable holding periods under the Securities Act and other rules of the Commission.

Any Transferee of Lock-Up Shares that is a Permitted Transferee of the Transferor shall be required, at the time of and as a condition to such Transfer, to become a party to this Agreement, by executing and delivering a joinder to this Agreement, whereupon such Transferee will be treated as a Holder (with the same rights and obligations as the Transferor) for all purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Sponsor shall be permitted to forfeit any portion of its Lock-Up Shares pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement.

3.3 Other Lock-Up Restrictions. Each of the Company and the Sponsor hereby acknowledge and agree that this Article III supersedes Section 5 of the Sponsor Support Agreement in all respects, and, upon execution of this Agreement by each of the Company and the Sponsor, the Sponsor Support Agreement shall be deemed amended to remove Section 5 of the Sponsor Support Agreement.

4.1.9 notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement, as applicable, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 4.4 hereof;

4.1.10 permit representatives of the Holders, the Underwriters or other financial institutions facilitating each transaction, if any, and any attorney, consultant or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, financial institution, attorney, consultant or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives, Underwriters or financial institutions agree to confidentiality arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;

4.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders selling any Registrable Securities in an offering shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders, in each case, as mutually agreed amongst such Holders.

4.3 Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Holder does not provide the Company with its requested Holder Information, the Company may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such information is necessary to effect the registration and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. No Holder may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting and other arrangements approved by the Company and (b) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. Subject to the minimum thresholds set forth in subsections 2.1.3 and 4.1.15 of this Agreement, the exclusion of a Holder’s Registrable Securities as a result of this Section 4.3 shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.

4.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure; Restrictions on Registration Rights.

4.4.1 Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, as applicable, each Holder shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting such Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed.

4.4.2 If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, and the majority of the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer such filing, initial effectiveness or continued use at such time (a “Suspension Event”), the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders (a “Suspension Notice”), delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than 45 days for a single Suspension Event, determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose (a “Suspension Period”); provided that the Company shall not declare more than two Suspension Events in any 12-month period; provided further, that no Suspension Event shall be declared within the 30 days following the conclusion of a prior Suspension Period; provided further, that the total Suspension Period in any consecutive 12-month period shall not exceed an aggregate of 90 days. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 4.4 (an “End of Suspension Notice”).

Annex D-12

4.4.3 (a) During the period starting with the date [60] days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date [120] days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated Registration and provided that the Company continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable Shelf Registration Statement, or (b) if, pursuant to subsection 2.1.3, a Demanding Holder has requested an Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the Company and such Demanding Holder are unable to obtain the commitment of Underwriters to firmly underwrite such offering, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay any other registered offering pursuant to subsection 2.1.3.

4.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings; provided that any documents publicly filed or furnished with the Commission pursuant to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System shall be deemed to have been furnished or delivered to the Holders pursuant to this Section 4.5.

4.6 Other Obligations. In connection with a sale or transfer of Registrable Securities exempt from Section 5 of the Securities Act or through any broker-dealer transactions described in the plan of distribution set forth within the Prospectus and pursuant to the Registration Statement of which such Prospectus forms a part, the Company shall, subject to the receipt of any customary documentation reasonably required from the applicable Holders and/or their broker(s) in connection therewith, (a) promptly instruct its transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends applicable to the Registrable Securities being sold or transferred and (b) cause its legal counsel to deliver the necessary legal opinions, if any, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (a). In addition, the Company shall cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with the aforementioned sales or transfers; provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to participate in any “road shows” or assist with the preparation of any offering memoranda or related documentation with respect to any sale or transfer of Registrable Securities in any transaction that does not constitute an Underwritten Offering.

Article V
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

5.1 Indemnification.

5.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) caused by any (a) Misstatement contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, as applicable, or (b) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any other applicable federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder application and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, except, in each case, insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein.

5.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (the “Holder Information”) and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable and documented, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees) resulting from any Misstatement contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, as applicable, but only to the extent that such Misstatement is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders, and the liability of each such Holder shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

Annex D-13

Table of Contents

5.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (a) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (b) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

5.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

5.1.5 If the indemnification provided under this Section 5.1 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 5.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 5.1.1, 5.1.2 and 5.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 5.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 5.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 5.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Annex D-15

Table of Contents

6.2.3 After the expiration of the Lock-Up Period with respect to Lock-Up Shares held by a Locked-Up Holder, and, at any time with respect to Registrable Securities held by any other Holder, each such Holder may assign or delegate its rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement in connection with a Transfer of such Holder’s Registrable Securities, in whole or in part, to (a) any of such Holder’s Permitted Transferees, provided, that each such Permitted Transferee holds, after giving effect to such assignment or delegation, at least 2% of the then-outstanding Company Ordinary Shares, (b) an Affiliate of such Holder, (c) direct and/or indirect equity holders of any Holder pursuant to a distribution as described in Section 6.14 of this Agreement or (d) with the prior written consent of the Company, any other entity or person.

6.2.4 This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties and its successors and the permitted assigns of the Holders.

6.2.5 Other than as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing in this Agreement expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give to any person or entity, other than the parties hereto and such successors and permitted assigns, any legal or equitable rights under this Agreement.

6.2.6 No assignment by any party hereto of such party’s rights, duties and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon or obligate the Company unless and until the Company shall have received (a) written notice of such assignment as provided in Section 6.1 hereof and (b) the written agreement of the assignee, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement (which may be accomplished by an addendum or certificate of joinder to this Agreement). Any transfer or assignment made other than as provided in this Section 6.2 shall be null and void.

6.3 Execution of Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more such counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party. Facsimile or electronic mail transmission of counterpart signatures to this Agreement shall be acceptable and binding.

6.4 Governing Law; Venue.

6.4.1 This Agreement and all disputes, claims or controversies relating to, arising out of, or in connection with this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of laws, rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

6.4.2 Any proceeding or Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement must be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, to the extent such Court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware), or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such proceeding or Action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the proceeding or Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any proceeding or Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any party to serve process in any manner permitted by Law or to commence Legal Proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any Action, suit or proceeding brought pursuant to this subsection 6.4.2.

6.5 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each such party hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and voluntarily waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Action, suit or proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

6.6 Amendments and Waivers. Only upon the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the total Registrable Securities at the time in question as determined in good faith by the Company, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely

Annex D-16

Table of Contents

in its capacity as a holder of the shares of capital stock of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so affected. No provision of this Agreement may be waived unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party or parties against whom such waiver is to be effective. No course of dealing between any Holder or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

6.7 Other Registration Rights. Other than the registration rights set forth in the Original Agreement, [the subscribers who have registration rights pursuant to the transactions contemplated by that certain PIPE Agreement, dated [ ], 2025, by and among, among others, the Company and the subscribers set forth therein], the Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities hereunder, has any right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company in any Registration Statement filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person. The Company shall not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with or violates the rights granted to any Holder of Registrable Securities in this Agreement, including any agreement that would allow such current or future holder to require the Company to include securities in any registration statement filed by the Company for such holders on a basis other than pari passu with, or expressly subordinate to, the registration rights of the Holders hereunder provided. Further, the Company represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions and in the event of a conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. Notwithstanding any other rights and remedies the Holders may have in respect of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, if the Company enters into any other registration rights or similar agreement with respect to any of its securities that contains provisions that violate this Section 6.7, the terms and conditions of such agreement shall immediately be deemed to have been amended without further action by the Company or any Holder, so that such Holders shall each be entitled to the benefit of any such more favorable or less restrictive terms or conditions, as the case may be.

6.8 Rule 144. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, the Company covenants that it will (a) make available information necessary to comply with Rule 144, if available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, at all times, and (b) cooperate with any Holder and take such further action as the Holders may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (if available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities), as such rule may be amended from time to time. Upon the reasonable request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to it a written statement as to whether they have complied with such information requirements, and, if not, the specific reasons for non-compliance. This Section 6.8 shall survive the termination of the Agreement so long as any Holder continues to hold Registrable Securities.

6.9 Term. This Agreement shall terminate with respect to any Holder on the date that such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities, except as otherwise provided herein. The provisions of Section 4.5 and Article V shall survive any termination.

6.10 Holder Information. Each Holder agrees, if requested in writing, to represent to the Company the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder for the Company to make determinations hereunder, including, without limitation, for purposes of Section 6.8 hereof.

6.11 Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Annex D-17

Table of Contents

6.12 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Company shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by a Holder and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof.

6.13 Entire Agreement; Restatement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter. Upon the Closing Date, the Original Agreement and all of the respective rights and obligations of the parties thereunder are terminated in their entirety and shall no longer be of any force or effect. Upon any amendment or restatement, this Agreement shall no longer be of any force or effect.

6.14 Distributions. In the event that any Holder distributes, or has distributed, any of its Registrable Securities to its direct and/or indirect equity holders, such distributees shall be treated as the applicable Holder hereunder; provided that only the holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities held by all such distributees, as determined in good faith by the Company, shall be entitled to take any action under this Agreement that such Holder is entitled to take, provided, further, that such distributees, taken as a whole, shall not be entitled to rights in excess of those conferred to the applicable Holder, as if it remained a single entity party to this Agreement.

6.15 Adjustments. If, and as often as, there are any changes in the Registrable Securities by way of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or sale, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions of this Agreement, as may be required, so that the rights, privileges, duties and obligations hereunder shall continue with respect to the Registrable Securities as so changed.

6.16 Further Assurances. From time to time, at another party’s request and without further consideration (but at the requesting party’s reasonable cost and expense), each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.17 Opt-Out Notices. Any Holder may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that such Holder not receive notice from the Company of the proposed filing or withdrawal of any Shelf Registration Statement or Piggyback Registration, or any event that would lead to a Suspension Event as contemplated by Section 4.4; provided, however, that such Holder may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from a Holder (unless subsequently revoked), the Company shall not deliver any notice to such Holder pursuant to Sections 2.1, 2.2 or 4.4, as applicable, and such Holder shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice. Each time prior to a Holder’s intended use of an effective Shelf Registration Statement, such Holder will notify the Company in writing at least two Business Days in advance of such intended use. If a Suspension Notice was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 6.17) and the Suspension Event remains in effect, the Company will so notify such Holder, within one Business Day of such Holder’s notification to the Company, by delivering to such Holder a copy of such previous notice of such Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide such Holder with the related End of Suspension Notice immediately upon its availability.

Opinion of EntrepreneurShares LLC, dated April 7, 2025

Private and Confidential

 

April 08, 2025

GSR III Acquisition Corp.
Attention: Board of Directors
5900 Balcones Drive, Suite 100
Austin, Texas 78731

Fairness Opinion Letter

We understand that GSR III Acquisition Corp. (“GSRT”), entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) dated December 24, 2024, by and among Terra Innovatum s.r.l. (“Terra Innovatum” or the “Company”) and GSRT, in connection with a proposed business combination of GSRT and Terra Innovatum (the “Transaction”) based on a pre-money Enterprise Value of $475 Million. After giving effect to the Transaction, GSRT and Terra Innovatum will be wholly owned subsidiaries of a newly formed publicly listed company (“NewCo”).

The Board of Directors of GSRT (“you”) have engaged EntrepreneurShares LLC (“ERShares Valuation Services” or “us”) to render an opinion (this “Opinion”) as to the fairness, from a financial point of view to GSRT and to the shareholders of GSRT (other than GSR III Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) or any of its affiliates, of the Transaction Consideration to be issued or paid to such shareholders in the Transaction.

This Opinion is furnished solely to be utilized by the Board of Directors of GSRT as only one input to consider in its process of analyzing the Transaction and it does not constitute a recommendation to any member of the Board of Directors, any stockholder of GSRT, or any other person as to how such person should vote or act with respect to the Transaction. This Opinion is delivered to the Board of Directors of GSRT subject to the conditions, scope of engagement, limitations and understanding set forth in this Opinion. Furthermore, no officer, director, employee or shareholder of ERShares Valuation Services shall be subjected to any personal liability whatsoever (other than for fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith) to any person, nor will any such claim be asserted by or on behalf of you or your affiliates against such person with respect to this Opinion other than against ERShares Valuation Services.

We have not been asked to opine on, and this Opinion does not express any views on, (i) any other terms of the Transaction (except as expressly addressed herein), (ii) GSRT’s underlying business decision to proceed with or effect the Transaction, (iii) the merits of the Transaction relative to any alternative transaction or business strategy that may be available to GSRT, (iv) the amount or nature of the compensation to any officer, director or employee, or any class of such persons relative to the compensation to be received by the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of GSRT or the Company in the Transaction, or relative to or in comparison with the Transaction Consideration, (v) the fairness of the Transaction to any particular group or class of securities, creditors, or other constituencies of GSRT, other than those set forth in this Opinion, or (vi) the solvency, creditworthiness or fair value of the Company or any other participant in the Transaction under any applicable laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters.

In the course of our analyses for rendering this Opinion, we have made such reviews, analyses, and inquiries as we have deemed necessary and appropriate under the circumstances, including, without limitation:

1)      We have reviewed the following documents and sources of information in items (a) through (j):

a.      Executed Non-Binding Letter of Intent dated December 24, 2024;

b.      Draft of the Business Combination Agreement, by and among GSRT and Terra Innovatum (the “Business Combination Agreement”);

Annex E-1

Table of Contents

c.      Terra Innovatum s.r.l. financial statement for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022;

d.      Reactor Unit Economics (Feb 2025) for which we have no reason to dispute the underlying assumptions;

e.      Terra Innovatum’s Investor Presentations;

f.       Terra Innovatum’s Global Total Accessible Market Study for which we have no reason to dispute the underlying assumptions;

g.      Terra Innovatum’s SOLO Regulatory Engagement Plan for which we have no reason to dispute the underlying assumptions;

h.      Terra Innovatum’s publicly traded comparable companies outlined in the management presentation;

i.        Various Terra Innovatum organizational and administrative documents we deemed necessary and appropriate to our analysis; and

j.       Publicly available financial information of GSRT, including GSRT’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

2)      We met or otherwise communicated electronically with certain members of GSRT’s and Terra Innovatum’s senior and operating management to discuss Terra Innovatum’s operations, historical financial results related to their entities, future prospects, and projected operations and performance;

3)      We considered publicly available data and stock market performance data of public companies we deem comparable to Terra Innovatum and reviewed the industry and geography in which Terra Innovatum operates;

4)      We considered, to the extent publicly available, the financial terms of certain other transactions which we considered relevant in evaluating the Transaction; and

5)      We conducted such other studies, analyses, inquiries, and investigations as we deemed appropriate, including economic, industry, geographical and Company- specific information.

The primary method used was a Market Method – Guideline Public Traded Companies as the basis for the fairness opinion assessment. These public comps were independently obtained by us. The Guideline Publicly Traded Companies method involves selecting a subset of companies within the same GICS category that operate in a similar industry and share comparable characteristics. Management also provided comparable companies that were reviewed as secondary comparison and found overlaps while conducting the fairness opinion assessment.

We also used a Guideline Transaction Method to support the fairness opinion assessment. These were independently obtained and examined by us. Additional details of the analysis performed can be found in the associated proxy statement.

In the course of our investigation, we have assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the financial statements, forecasts related to the unit level economics and regulatory approval plan, and other information provided to us by GSRT and the Company and we have further relied upon the assurances of management that they were unaware of any facts that would make the information provided to us incomplete or misleading in any material

Annex E-2

Table of Contents

respect for the purposes of this Opinion. We have not assumed any responsibility for independent verification of such information or assurances. With respect to the Terra Innovatum company outlook, we have been advised by Terra Innovatum, and have assumed, that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the good faith judgement of the management of Terra Innovatum as to the future financial performance of Terra Innovatum.

Given GSRT’s nature as a special purpose acquisition company, for purposes of our opinion and with GSRT’s consent, we have assumed a value of $10.00 per share in calculating the value of the ordinary shares to be issued as the Transaction Consideration under the Business Combination Agreement, with such $10.00 value being based on GSRT’s initial public offering price, and GSRT’s approximate Trust Account cash per outstanding share of GSRT Class A Ordinary Shares (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the dilutive impact of the GSRT Class B Shares or any warrants issued by GSRT). In rendering our opinion, we do not express any view or opinion as to what the value of any ordinary shares will be when issued pursuant to the Transaction or the price or range of prices at which any shares of GSRT Class A Ordinary Shares or other securities and financial instruments of or relating to GSRT may trade or otherwise be transferable at any time before or after announcement or consummation of the Transaction.

In arriving at our opinion, we have not performed any independent appraisal, or physical inspection, of the assets of the Company. Our analysis does not constitute an examination, review of, or compilation of prospective financial statements in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”). We do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the reasonableness of the underlying assumptions or whether any of the prospective financial statements, if used, are presented in conformity with AICPA presentation guidelines. We have also assumed that neither GSRT nor the Company are currently involved in any material transaction other than the Transaction, and those activities undertaken in the ordinary course of conducting their businesses. We are not responsible for conclusions based on erroneous or incomplete information provided to us.

Our Opinion is predicated on our assumption that the final executed version of the Business Combination Agreement will not differ in any material respect from the draft Business Combination Agreement and LOI we have examined, that the conditions to the Transaction as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and LOI will be satisfied, and that the Transaction will be consummated on a timely basis in the manner contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. We have also assumed, that, in the course of obtaining the necessary governmental, regulatory and other approvals, consents, releases and waivers for the Transaction, no delay, limitation, restriction or condition, including any divestiture requirements or amendments or modifications, will be imposed that would have an adverse effect on Terra Innovatum or the contemplated benefits of the Transaction.

Our Opinion is necessarily based on business, economic, market, and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated by us at the date of this Opinion letter. It should be noted that although subsequent developments may affect this Opinion, we do not have any obligation to update, revise, or reaffirm our Opinion.

During the two years preceding the date of ERShares Valuation Services’ engagement with respect to this Opinion, we have not provided financial advisory services to the Company. ERShares Valuation Services may provide financial advisory services to parties in the Transaction in the future, for which ERShares Valuation Services may receive compensation.

We acknowledge and agree that this Opinion and a summary thereof may be filed with or included in or with any registration or proxy statement required to be filed by GSRT with the SEC and delivered to the holders of GSRT’s or Terra Innovatum’s securities in connection with the Transaction.

Annex E-3

Table of Contents

We have been retained by GSRT to provide this Opinion in connection with the Transaction and will receive a fixed fee for our services, a portion of which became payable to us upon our engagement by GSRT and a portion of which is payable upon delivery of this Opinion to the Board of Directors of GSRT. Our fee is not contingent upon, or related to, the size of the Transaction Consideration or the outcome of the Fairness Opinion Assessment.

Conclusion

Based on the work performed by us, and on the statements above, we are of the opinion that, as of the date of this Opinion, the Transaction Consideration to be issued or paid to the shareholders of GSRT is fair from a financial point of view to GSRT and the shareholders of GSRT, other than the Sponsor and any of its affiliates.

Yours Sincerely,

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Cayman Constitutional Documents provided for indemnification of GSR III’s officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect.

GSR III has entered into agreements with GSR III’s officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in the Cayman Constitutional Documents. GSR III has purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures GSR III’s officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances, and insures us against GSR III’s obligations to indemnify GSR III’s officers and directors.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, GSR III has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 21. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.

(a)     Exhibits

See the Exhibit Index on the page immediately following the signature page for a list of exhibits filed as part of this registration statement on Form S-4, which Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.

(b)    Financial Statement Schedules

Item 22. Undertakings.

(1)    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(a)     To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i)     To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; and

(ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

(b)    To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement.

(c)     That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus will be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

II-1

Table of Contents

(d)    To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(e)     That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, will be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(f)     That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)     Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)    Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)   The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv)   Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(2)    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by them is against public policy, as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(3)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

(4)    The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes

II-2

Table of Contents

of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment will be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(5)    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form S-4, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first-class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the Registration Statement through the date of responding to the request.

(6)    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the Registration Statement when it became effective.
