Other Events.

On May 9, 2023, RMG Acquisition Corp. III, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“RMG III” or the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) by and between RMG III and H2B2 Electrolysis Technologies, Inc. (“H2B2”), a vertically integrated provider of hydrogen energy systems, services, and equipment. RMG III has also extended the date that it is required to consummate a business combination by one month to June 9, 2023, as the first of up to three one-month extensions, to August 9, 2023, permitted by RMG III’s governing documents. RMG III intends to exercise the right to use all of the remaining permitted extensions.

Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, H2B2 will merge with and into RMG III, the separate existence of H2B2 will cease and RMG III will be the surviving corporation (the “Business Combination”). RMG III is expected to be renamed “H2B2 Electrolysis Technologies, Inc.” at the closing of the Business Combination.

There can be no assurance that the Business Combination will occur as planned or at all. The Company intends to file a Current Report on Form 8-K with a detailed description of the Merger Agreement, including the ancillary documents to the Merger Agreement, together with a copy of the Merger Agreement and the ancillary documents to the Merger Agreement, within four business days of entry into the Merger Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Additional Information and Where to Find It

RMG III intends to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4, which will include a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus (a “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”). A definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be mailed to RMG III’s shareholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the Business Combination. Shareholders will also be able to obtain copies of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, without charge, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: RMG Acquisition Corp. III, 57 Ocean, Suite 403, 5775 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, Florida 33140.

This communication may be deemed to be offering or solicitation material in respect of the Business Combination, which will be submitted to the shareholders of RMG III for their consideration. RMG III urges investors, shareholders and other interested persons to carefully read, when available, the preliminary and definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus as well as other documents filed with the SEC (including any amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, as applicable), in each case, before making any investment or voting decision with respect to the Business Combination, because these documents will contain important information about RMG III, H2B2 and the Business Combination.

Participants in the Solicitation

RMG III and its directors and executive officers may be considered participants in the solicitation of proxies with respect to the Business Combination described herein under the rules of the SEC. Information about the directors and executive officers of RMG III and a description of their interests in RMG III and the Business Combination are set forth in RMG III’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on April 18, 2023 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, when it is filed with the SEC. These documents can be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above.

No Offer or Solicitation

This release shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent, or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of any business combination. This release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom.
