Colombier Acquisition Corp. III closes $299 million IPO of blank check company

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 financing Written later

Colombier Acquisition Corp. III closed its initial public offering of 29.9 million units on February 5, 2026, raising $299,000,000 in gross proceeds, including the full exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. The company is a blank check company formed to pursue a business combination, and the $299,000,000 was placed in a trust account that cannot be released until a business combination is completed, the company redeems public shares after its deadline, or a shareholder vote approves a change to that redemption obligation.

Key points

  • Private placement of 150,000 units to the sponsor, Colombier Sponsor III LLC, at $10.00 per unit for $1,500,000
  • Trust account funded with $299,000,000; the company must complete a business combination within 24 months of closing, or 27 months if it has signed a letter of intent or definitive agreement
