Helix Acquisition Corp. III Commitments Disclosure
NOTE 6 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Registration Rights
The holders of the founder shares, Private Placement Shares and any shares that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement signed on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain piggyback registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination. However, the registration and shareholder rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lockup period. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidating damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Public Shares to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On January 26, 2026, the underwriters elected to fully exercise their over-allotment option to purchase additional 2,250,000 Public Shares at a price of $10.00 per Public Share.
The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $1,725,000 (1% of the gross proceeds of the Public Shares sold in the Initial Public Offering). Additionally, the underwriters were entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 3% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account, $5,175,000 in the aggregate upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. At the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, up to $500,000 of this amount may be paid to third parties not participating in the Initial Public Offering that assist the Company in consummating its initial Business Combination. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

About Commitments Disclosures
Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.
Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
