Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 16, 2022, Thunder Bridge Capital Partners III, Inc. (the “Company”) held a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Meeting”). In connection with the Meeting, as set forth in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 22, 2022, the holders of 40,302,259 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Redeeming Stockholders”) properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash.

On December 30, 2022, an initial redemption payment was made by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“CST”), as trustee of the trust account set up at the time of the Company’s initial public offering for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders (the “Trust Account”), to the Redeeming Stockholders at a rate of $10.10 per share and, on January 11, 2023, CST made an additional redemption payment (the “Additional Payment”) to the Redeeming Stockholders at a rate of $0.02841302 per share, for a total redemption payment per share of $10.12841302. It was later determined that the Company did not withdraw all of the interest from the Trust Account that it was allowed to withdraw to cover income and franchise taxes and, therefore, the Additional Payment should have been $0.00157381 per share, for a total redemption payment of $10.10157381 per share. This meant that the Redeeming Stockholders were overpaid in the amount of $0.02683921 per share (the “Overpayment Amount”).

The Redeeming Stockholders are in the process of being notified of this situation and are being instructed to return the Overpayment Amount to CST. Anyone with questions about the contents of this report, can reach out to CST at [email protected].
