Forum Merger Corp is a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) that raised capital through a public unit offering for the purpose of merging with a private operating company. The entity has no active products or services; its website is a parked domain and its only operational activity is the search for and consummation of a qualifying business combination. As a publicly listed shell vehicle on the OTCMKTS (ticker FIIIU), it functions as a capital markets vehicle rather than an operating business.

1Silver Spike Acquisition Corp
TypeDirect peer
Description

Smaller, single-purpose SPAC focused on the consumer/cannabis sector. Functionally identical to Forum Merger III in mechanism — public IPO, trust-held cash, and a defined business combination deadline — providing a clean peer benchmark on discount/premium behavior and volume metrics.

2HighCape Capital Acquisition Corp
TypeDirect peer
Description

Repeat SPAC sponsor (Adam Kabala) that completed a de-SPAC. Direct functional peer to Forum Merger III in mechanism, scale, and sponsor-driven target pursuit. Useful comparable on completion economics.

3Pono Capital Acquisition Corp
TypeDirect peer
Description

Small-cap SPAC sponsor with multiple sequential vehicles, comparable in size, listing tier, and sponsor profile to Forum Merger III. Useful peer for benchmarking small SPAC unit-price behavior and redemption levels.

4Stable Road Acquisition Corp
TypeDirect peer
Description

Single-series SPAC that pursued and closed a de-SPAC transaction. Operationally indistinguishable from Forum Merger III: structured IPO, A-class shares, warrants, and a fixed business combination window. Useful direct comp on sponsor economics and deal-completion outcomes.

5Churchill Capital Corp (multiple series)
TypeDirect peer
Description

Michael Klein-sponsored multi-series SPAC platform. Most directly comparable to Forum Merger III as a repeated, sponsor-led blank-check vehicle pursuing large de-SPAC transactions. Operates the same purpose-built acquisition structure against similar target pools.

6Gores Holdings (multiple series)
TypeDirect peer
Description

Alec Gores-sponsored SPAC franchise across Gores Holdings, Gores Technology, Gores Metropoulos, etc. Highly comparable to Forum Merger III because the sponsor has run multiple sequential SPACs, just as the Forum Merger sponsor has — both compete for the same quality of private targets.

7Twelve Seas Investment Co
TypeDirect peer
Description

Single-purpose SPAC pursuing a business combination in a similar mid-market profile to Forum Merger III. Mechanism, listing structure, and target-size band are directly comparable, making it a useful unit-pricing and redemption comp.

8Cantor Equity Partners / Cantor Fitzgerald SPAC vehicles
TypeDirect peer
Description

Wall Street sponsor (Cantor Fitzgerald) that has run multiple small/mid-sized SPACs in the same size band as Forum Merger III. Comparable because both are New York-based, sponsor-controlled, and pursue middle-market de-SPAC targets.
