III (fka Alpha Partners Technology Merger Corp.) (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 5, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (an “Initial Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Initial Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. On December 27, 2023, the Company, the Original Sponsor (as defined below) and Mercury Capital, LLC (the “Sponsor”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, at a closing on December 28, 2023 (the “Closing”), the Sponsor (i) purchased 3,902,648 Founder Units (as defined in Note 5) of the Company from the Original Sponsor, each unit consisting of one Class B ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant to acquire one Class B share, which Founder Units are subject to forfeiture in certain circumstances, and (ii) became entitled to 70% of 2,030,860 Founder Units that the Original Sponsor placed in escrow at the Closing to the extent such Founder Units are allocated to investors who hold and do not redeem their Class A ordinary shares of the Company at the time of the Company’s Initial Business Combination, for an aggregate purchase price of $1. Subsequently, on January 26, 2024, the Company, the Original Sponsor, and the Sponsor entered into a first amendment to the Purchase Agreement to correct the number of shares that the Original Sponsor shall retain to be 665,000 Class A private placement units and 1,128,992 Class B founder units. On August 22, 2024, the Company, the Original Sponsor, and the Sponsor entered into a second amendment to Purchase Agreement (“Amendment No. 2 to the Purchase Agreement”) which revises the founder-unit forfeiture and transfer mechanics by requiring the acquirer to absorb all forfeitures or investor incentive transfers up to 2,030,860 founder units, allocating excess forfeitures 78% to the acquirer and 22% to the sponsor, while also establishing that 2,030,860 sponsor units will be held in escrow for potential transfer to sponsor anchors, with any remaining escrowed units allocated 70% to the acquirer and 30% to the sponsor at closing. On September 5, 2025, the Company, the Original Sponsor, and the Sponsor entered into a third amendment to Purchase Agreement (“Amendment No. 3 to the Purchase Agreement”) that provides that any Sponsor Incentive Units (as defined in the Sponsor Support Agreement) that have been retained by the Sponsor after the Closing, up to half of such Sponsor Incentive Units may be transferred prior to the Closing to a third party, with any Sponsor Incentive Units remaining after such transfer subject to allocation between the Sponsor and the Original Sponsor as provided for in the Purchase Agreement.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Original Sponsor and the Sponsor each agreed to pay $112,500 in extension contributions in each of December 2023 and January 2024.

There is no assurance that the Company’s attempts to close an Initial Business Combination will be successful within the Second Combination Period.

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. 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 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.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><b>Use of Estimates</b></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s 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.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">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 from those estimates. The initial valuation of the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) and Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption, the initial and the quarterly valuation of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 4), and the valuations for the convertible Note (as defined in Note 5) required management to exercise significant judgement in its estimates.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><b>Cash and Cash Equivalents</b></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification.

For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The initial fair value of the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) was estimated using a binomial/lattice model and the fair value of the Founder Warrants (as defined in Note 5) and Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 4) was estimated using a Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (see Note 9). As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, despite lower trading volume on the Class A ordinary shares and Public Warrants, the fair value of the Public Warrants was based on its traded price as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. This approach was deemed appropriate as the implied probability of a successful business combination remained within the range observed in comparable publicly traded companies.

Remeasurement associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from net loss per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Therefore, the loss per share calculation allocates loss shared pro rata between Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption and non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. As a result, the calculated net loss per share is the same for Class A and Class B ordinary shares. The Company has not considered the effect of the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3), Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 4), or the Founder Warrants (as defined in Note 5) to purchase an aggregate of 12,059,165 shares, or the effects of the 1,349,911 warrants that would be issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Loan (as defined in Note 5) in the calculation of loss per share, because the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any other dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares that then share in the earnings of the Company.

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. 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 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.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><b>Use of Estimates</b></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s 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.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment.

The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification.

Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The initial fair value of the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) was estimated using a binomial/lattice model and the fair value of the Founder Warrants (as defined in Note 5) and Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 4) was estimated using a Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (see Note 9). As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, despite lower trading volume on the Class A ordinary shares and Public Warrants, the fair value of the Public Warrants was based on its traded price as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. This approach was deemed appropriate as the implied probability of a successful business combination remained within the range observed in comparable publicly traded companies. The valuation of the Private Warrants slightly differed, as it was derived using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><b>Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption</b></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">All of the 28,250,000 Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and subsequent partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, that remain unredeemed, contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, including in connection with shareholder votes or tender offers in connection with the Business Combination, as well as in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.

margin: 0pt 0"><b>Income Taxes</b></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, <i>Income Taxes</i> (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were <span style="-sec-ix-hidden: hidden-fact-55"><span style="-sec-ix-hidden: hidden-fact-56"><span style="-sec-ix-hidden: hidden-fact-57"><span style="-sec-ix-hidden: hidden-fact-58">no</span></span></span></span> unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2025 and 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. The Company is considered an exempted Cayman Islands Company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><b>Net Loss Per Ordinary Share</b></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from net loss per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Therefore, the loss per share calculation allocates loss shared pro rata between Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption and non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. As a result, the calculated net loss per share is the same for Class A and Class B ordinary shares. The Company has not considered the effect of the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3), Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 4), or the Founder Warrants (as defined in Note 5) to purchase an aggregate of 12,059,165 shares, or the effects of the 1,349,911 warrants that would be issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Loan (as defined in Note 5) in the calculation of loss per share, because the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any other 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.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):</p><table cellpadding="0" style="border-collapse: collapse;

ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Level 1 — Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges.

The Company will reassess the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the warrants will be reclassified as of the date of the event that causes the reclassification.</p> 2354166 2354166 288333 288333 9416666 9416666 11.5 P30D P5Y P20D P60D 18 0.01 P30D P20D P30D 18 P30D 10 0.1 P30D P30D P30D 0.1 10 P10D P10D 9.2 0.60 P10D 9.2 1.15 1.15 10 18 10 18 1 1.80 P30D 9705000 9416666 288333 2354166 0.65 <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><b>NOTE 8.
