OAKTREE ACQUISITION CORP. III LIFE SCIENCES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT

Note 1—Description of Organization and Business Operations
Oaktree Acquisition Corp. III Life Sciences (the “Company”) is a newly organized blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any specific Business Combination target and the Company has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, engaged in any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any Business Combination target with respect to an initial Business Combination with the Company. The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.
As of October 25, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from June 28, 2024 (inception) through October 25, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering (as defined below). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company’s sponsor is Oaktree Acquisition Holdings III LS, LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective on October 23, 2024. On October 25, 2024, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 17,500,000 units (each, a “Unit”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $175,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3. On October 30, 2024, the underwriters closed on the partial exercise of the over-allotment option and purchased 1,699,029 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating proceeds of $16,990,290. The underwriters have forfeited their right to purchase the remaining 925,971 Units that they were allowed to purchase under their over-allotment option.
Simultaneous with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 550,000 private placement units (each, a “Private Placement Unit”), at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $5,500,000, which is described in Note 4. Each unit has an offering price of $10.00 and consists of one Class A ordinary share (each such share, a “Private Placement Share”) and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant (each such warrant, a “Private Placement Warrant”). Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. Simultaneously with the closing of the partially exercised over-allotment option by the underwriters on October 30, 2024, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 33,981 Private Placement Units, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $339,810.
Transaction costs amounted to $10,653,009, consisting of $3,500,000 of cash underwriting fee, $6,125,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $1,028,009 of other offering costs.
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, on October 25, 2024, an amount of $175,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in the trust account (“Trust Account”), located in the United States, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. The funds will be held in cash, including in demand deposit accounts at a bank, or invested only in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.
