STAMFORD, CT, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HCM III Acquisition Corp. (the "Company"), a blank check company whose business purpose is to effect a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, announced today that it has priced its initial public offering of 22,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant. The units will be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market ("Nasdaq") and will begin trading tomorrow, August, 1, 2025, under the ticker symbol "HCMAU."
