Colombier Acquisition Corp. III (NYSE: CLBR U) announced the closing of its initial public offering of 29,900,000 units, including 3,900,000 units issued through the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at $10.00 per unit for total gross proceeds of $299 million. The offering was priced at $10.00 per unit, and the company placed the full $299 million in trust. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-eighth of one redeemable warrant, with whole warrants exercisable at $11.50 per share. The units began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CLBR U,” and the underlying shares and warrants are expected to trade separately as “CLBR” and “CLBR WS” once they commence separate trading.
