III (the “Company”) is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort and expense to the Company. On November 25, 2025, the Company, Blue Water Acquisition III LLC (the “Prior Sponsor”) and Yorkville BW Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (the “New Sponsor”) entered into a Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which, the New Sponsor (i) purchased from the Prior Sponsor 6,325,000 Class B Ordinary Shares and 430,000 Private Placement Units for an aggregate purchase price of $7,200,000 and (ii) upon closing, became the sponsor of the Company (together, the “Purchase”).

About this score

reportingrisk.com scores every active US filer on three things a company tells the SEC about itself: late-filing notices on Form NT, 8-K item 4.02 (past accounts declared unreliable) and 4.01 (auditor changes). 1,012 are flagged today.

Every score is frozen and checked twelve months later. Across 91,452 of them, a company scoring 4 or more ended that year delisted, bankrupt, restated or silent 17.2% of the time, against 4.0% for a clean record. Scores before 2026-09-27 were reconstructed from the filing history as it stood at each date, so the record is a backtest rather than years of live calls.
