Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On April 17, 2024, 10X Capital Venture Acquisition Corp. III, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“10X III”), received a written notice (the “Notice”) from New York Stock Exchange Regulation, Inc. indicating that 10X III was not in compliance with the NYSE American LLC’s (“NYSE American”) continued listing standards because 10X III did not timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”), which was due on April 16, 2024.
The Notice provides that 10X III has a period of six months from the due date of the Annual Report (the “Cure Period”) to file such report and that 10X III can regain compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listing standards at any time before that date by filing the Annual Report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and any other subsequent reports that are required to be filed during the cure period. 10X III intends to cure its non-compliance with the continued listing standards of the NYSE American by filing the Annual Report within the Cure Period.
The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of 10X III’s securities on the NYSE American.
10X III issued a press release announcing the foregoing, which press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as exhibit 99.1.

Any forward-looking statements made herein speak only as of the date of this press release or to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations. 10X III does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
