on Form S-1, File Nos. 333-254789 and 333-260751 (the “Registration Statement”) and prospectus (the “Prospectus”)
for the initial public offering of the Company’s units (the “Units”), each of which consists of one share
of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one-half
of one redeemable warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock (such initial public
offering hereinafter referred to as the “Offering”), have been declared effective as of the date hereof (the
 “Effective Date”) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Registration Statement);


 


WHEREAS,
the Company has entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Citigroup
Global Markets Inc. and Cowen and Company, LLC, as representative (the “Representatives”) of the several underwriters
(the “Underwriters”) named therein;


 


WHEREAS,
as described in the Prospectus, and in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as the
same may be amended from time to time (the “Charter”), $306,000,000 of the proceeds of the Offering, the Sponsor
Loan (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement)
(or $351,900,000, if the Underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) will be delivered to the Trustee to be deposited
and held in a segregated trust account located at all times in the United States (the “Trust Account”)

(the amount to be delivered to the Trustee (and any interest subsequently earned thereon) is referred to herein as the “Property,”
the stockholders for whose benefit the Trustee shall hold the Property will be referred to as the “Public Stockholders,”
and the Public Stockholders and the Company will be referred to together as the “Beneficiaries”);


 


WHEREAS, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement,
a portion of the Property equal to $10,500,000, or $12,075,000 if the Underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full,
is attributable to deferred underwriting discounts and commissions that will be payable by the Company to the Underwriters upon and substantially
concurrently with the consummation of the Business Combination (as defined below) (the “Deferred Discount”);
and


 


WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee desire to
enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Trustee shall hold the Property.


 


NOW THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:


 


1.            Agreements
and Covenants of Trustee. The Trustee hereby agrees and covenants to:


 


(a)            Hold
the Property in trust for the Beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the Trust Account established by the Trustee
in the United States at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., (or at another U.S.-chartered commercial bank with consolidated assets of $100
billion or more) in the United States, maintained by the Trustee and at a brokerage institution selected by the Trustee that is reasonably
satisfactory to the Company;


 


(b)            Manage,
supervise and administer the Trust Account subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;


 


(c)            In
a timely manner, upon the written instruction of the Company, invest and reinvest the Property solely in United States government securities
within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, having a maturity of 185 days or less,
or in money market funds meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 promulgated
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (or any successor rule), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations,
as determined by the Company; the trustee may not invest in any other securities or assets, it being understood that the Trust Account
will earn no interest while account funds are uninvested awaiting the Company’s instructions hereunder; and while account funds
are invested or uninvested the Trustee may earn bank credits or other consideration during such periods;


 






     


     


    

 





(d)            Collect
and receive, when due, all principal, interest or other income arising from the Property, which shall become part of the “Property,”
as such term is used herein;


 


(e)            Promptly
notify the Company and the Representatives of all communications received by the Trustee with respect to any Property requiring action
by the Company;


 


(f)            Supply
any necessary information or documents as may be requested by the Company (or its authorized agents) in connection with the Company’s
preparation of the tax returns relating to assets held in the Trust Account or in connection with the preparation or completion of the
audit of the Company’s financial statements by the Company’s auditors;


 


(g)            Participate
in any plan or proceeding for protecting or enforcing any right or interest arising from the Property if, as and when instructed by the
Company to do so;


 


(h)            Render
to the Company monthly written statements of the activities of, and amounts in, the Trust Account reflecting all receipts and disbursements
of the Trust Account;


 


(i)            Commence
liquidation of the Trust Account only after and promptly after (x) receipt of, and only in accordance with the terms of, a letter
from the Company (“Termination Letter”) in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as either Exhibit A
or Exhibit B, as applicable, signed on behalf of the Company by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President,
Executive Vice President, Vice President, Secretary or Chairman of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”)
or other authorized officer of the Company, and, in the case of Exhibit A, acknowledged and agreed to by the Representatives, and
complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and distribute the Property in the Trust Account, including interest  not previously
released to pay the Company’s taxes (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest that may
be released to the Company to pay dissolution expenses), only as directed in the Termination Letter and the other documents referred
to therein, or (y) upon the date which is, the later of (1) 18 months after the closing of the Offering (or up to 24 months
after the closing of the Offering if the Company extends the period of time to consummate the initial business combination, as described
in the Prospectus) and (2) such later date as may be approved by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the Charter
if a Termination Letter has not been received by the Trustee prior to such date, in which case the Trust Account shall be liquidated
in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Termination Letter attached as Exhibit B and the Property in the Trust Account,
including interest not previously released to pay the Company’s taxes  (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and
less up to $100,000 of interest that may be released to the Company to pay dissolution expenses) shall be distributed to the Public Stockholders
of record as of such date; provided, however, that the Trustee has no obligation to monitor or question the Company’s position
that an allocation has been made for taxes payable;


 


(j)            Upon
written request from the Company, which may be given from time to time in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit C,
withdraw from the Trust Account and distribute to the Company the amount of interest earned on the Property requested by the Company
to cover any tax obligation, including any franchise tax obligations, owed by the Company as a result of assets of the Company or interest
or other income earned on the Property, which amount shall be delivered directly to the Company by electronic funds transfer or other
method of prompt payment, and in the case of any tax obligations the Company shall forward such payment to the relevant taxing authority,
as applicable; provided, however, that to the extent there is not sufficient cash in the Trust Account to pay such tax obligation and/or
to fund the Company’s working capital requirements, the Trustee shall liquidate such assets held in the Trust Account as shall
be designated by the Company in writing to make such distribution, so long as there is no reduction in the principal amount per share
initially deposited in the Trust Account; provided, further, that if the tax to be paid is a franchise tax, the written request by the
Company to make such distribution shall be accompanied by a copy of the franchise tax bill from the State of Delaware for the Company
and a written statement from the principal financial officer of the Company setting forth the actual amount payable (it being acknowledged
and agreed that any such amount in excess of interest income earned on the Property shall not be payable from the Trust Account). The
written request of the Company referenced above shall constitute presumptive evidence that the Company is entitled to said funds, and
the Trustee shall have no responsibility to look beyond said request;


 






    2


     


    




 


(k)            Upon
written request from the Company, which may be given from time to time in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit D,
the Trustee shall distribute to the remitting brokers on behalf of Public Stockholders redeeming shares of Common Stock the amount required
to pay for redeemed shares of Common Stock from Public Stockholders in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to
the Charter (i) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with a
Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the shares of Common Stock included in the Units sold in the Offering if the Company does not
complete a Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Company’s Charter or (ii) with respect to any other
provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The written request of the Company referenced
above shall constitute presumptive evidence that the Company is entitled to distribute said funds, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility
to look beyond said request; and


 


(l)            Not
make any withdrawals or distributions from the Trust Account other than pursuant to Sections 1(i), 1(j) or 1(k) above.


 


2.            Agreements
and Covenants of the Company. The Company hereby agrees and covenants to:


 


(a)            Give
all instructions to the Trustee hereunder in writing, signed by the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Financial Officer, President, Executive Vice President, Vice President or Secretary. In addition, except with respect to its duties under
Sections 1(i), 1(j) and 1(k) hereof, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, any
verbal or telephonic advice or instruction which it, in good faith and with reasonable care, believes to be given by any one of the persons
authorized above to give written instructions, provided that the Company shall promptly confirm such instructions in writing;


 


(b)            Subject
to Section 4 hereof, hold the Trustee harmless and indemnify the Trustee from and against any and all expenses, including reasonable
counsel fees and disbursements, or losses suffered by the Trustee in connection with any action taken by it hereunder and in connection
with any action, suit or other proceeding brought against the Trustee involving any claim, or in connection with any claim or demand,
which in any way arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of the Trustee hereunder, or the Property or any interest earned
on the Property, except for expenses and losses resulting from the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. Promptly
after the receipt by the Trustee of notice of demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, pursuant to which
the Trustee intends to seek indemnification under this Section 2(b), it shall notify the Company in writing of such claim (hereinafter
referred to as the “Indemnified Claim”). The Trustee shall have the right to conduct and manage the defense
against such Indemnified Claim; provided that the Trustee shall obtain the consent of the Company with respect to the selection of counsel,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Trustee may not agree to settle any Indemnified Claim without the prior written
consent of the Company, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company may participate in such action with its own
counsel;


 


(c)            Pay
the Trustee the fees set forth on Schedule A hereto, including an initial acceptance fee, annual administration fee, and transaction
processing fee which fees shall be subject to modification by the parties from time to time. It is expressly understood that the Property
shall not be used to pay such fees unless the disbursements are made to the Company pursuant to Section 1(i) solely in connection
with the completion of a Business Combination (defined below). The Company shall pay the Trustee the initial acceptance fee and the first
annual administration fee at the consummation of the Offering and thereafter on the anniversary of the Effective Date. The Company shall
not be responsible for any other fees or charges of the Trustee except as set forth in this Section 2(c), Schedule A and as
may be provided in Section 2(b) hereof;


 


(d)            In
connection with any vote of the Company’s stockholders regarding a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase,
reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”),
provide to the Trustee an affidavit or certificate of the inspector of elections for the stockholder meeting (which inspector of elections
may be the Trustee) verifying the vote of such stockholders regarding such Business Combination;


 






    3


     


    

 


(e)            Provide
the Representatives with a copy of any Termination Letter(s) and/or any other correspondence that is sent to the Trustee with respect
to any proposed withdrawal from the Trust Account promptly after it issues the same;


 


(f)            Instruct
the Trustee to make only those distributions that are permitted under this Agreement, and refrain from instructing the Trustee to make
any distributions that are not permitted under this Agreement; and


 


(g)            Expressly
provide in any Instruction Letter (as defined in Exhibit A) delivered in connection with a Termination Letter in the form of Exhibit A
that the Deferred Discount be paid directly to the account or accounts directed by the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters
prior to any transfer of the funds held in the Trust Account to the Company or any other person; and


 


(h)            Within
four (4) business days after the Representatives exercise the over-allotment option (or any unexercised portion thereof) or such
over-allotment expires, provide the Trustee with a notice in writing (with copies to the Underwriters) of the total amount of the Deferred
Discount, which shall in no event be less than $8,750,000, or $10,062,500 if the Underwriters’ overallotment option is exercised
in full.


 


3.            Limitations
of Liability. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability to:


 


(a)            Imply
obligations, perform duties, inquire or otherwise be subject to the provisions of any agreement or document other than this Agreement
and that which is expressly set forth herein;


 


(b)            Take
any action with respect to the Property, other than as directed in Section 1 hereof, and the Trustee shall have no liability to
any third party except for liability arising out of the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct;


 


(c)            Institute
any proceeding for the collection of any principal and income arising from, or institute, appear in or defend any proceeding of any kind
with respect to, any of the Property unless and until it shall have received instructions from the Company given as provided herein to
do so and the Company shall have advanced or guaranteed to it funds sufficient to pay any expenses incident thereto;


 


(d)            Refund
any depreciation in principal of any Property;


 


(e)            Assume
that the authority of any person designated by the Company to give instructions hereunder shall not be continuing unless provided otherwise
in such designation, or unless the Company shall have delivered a written revocation of such authority to the Trustee;


 


(f)            The
other parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in
good faith and in the Trustee’s best judgment, except for the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. The
Trustee may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel
(including counsel chosen by the Trustee, which counsel may be the Company’s counsel), statement, instrument, report or other paper
or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability
of any information therein contained) which the Trustee believes, in good faith and with reasonable care, to be genuine and to be signed
or presented by the proper person or persons. The Trustee shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination
or rescission of this Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a written instrument delivered to the Trustee, signed
by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Trustee are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent
thereto;


 


(g)            Verify
the accuracy of the information contained in the Registration Statement;


 


(h)            Provide
any assurance that any Business Combination entered into by the Company or any other action taken by the Company is as contemplated by
the Registration Statement;


 






    4


     


    

 


(i)            File
information returns with respect to the Trust Account with any local, state or federal taxing authority or provide periodic written statements
to the Company documenting the taxes payable by the Company, if any, relating to any interest income earned on the Property;


 


(j)            Prepare,
execute and file tax reports, income or other tax returns and pay any taxes with respect to any income generated by, and activities relating
to, the Trust Account, regardless of whether such tax is payable by the Trust Account or the Company, including, but not limited to,
franchise and income tax obligations, except pursuant to Section 1(j) hereof; or


 


(k)            Verify
calculations, qualify or otherwise approve the Company’s written requests for distributions pursuant to Sections 1(i), 1(j) or
1(k) hereof.


 


4.            Trust
Account Waiver. The Trustee has no right of set-off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”)
to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account that it
may have now or in the future. In the event the Trustee has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, including, without limitation,
under Section 2(b) or Section 2(c) hereof, the Trustee shall pursue such Claim solely against the Company and its
assets outside the Trust Account and not against the Property or any monies in the Trust Account.


 


5.            Termination.
This Agreement shall terminate as follows:


 


(a)            If
the Trustee gives written notice to the Company that it desires to resign under this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable
efforts to locate a successor trustee, pending which the Trustee shall continue to act in accordance with this Agreement. At such time
that the Company notifies the Trustee that a successor trustee has been appointed by the Company and has agreed to become subject to
the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee shall transfer the management of the Trust Account to the successor trustee, including but not
limited to the transfer of copies of the reports and statements relating to the Trust Account, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate;
provided, however, that in the event that the Company does not locate a successor trustee within ninety (90) days of receipt of the resignation
notice from the Trustee, the Trustee may submit an application to have the Property deposited with any court in the State of New York
or with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and upon such deposit, the Trustee shall be immune from
any liability whatsoever;


 


(b)            At
such time that the Trustee has completed the liquidation of the Trust Account and its obligations in accordance with the provisions of
Section 1(i) hereof (which section may not be amended under any circumstances) and distributed the Property in accordance with
the provisions of the Termination Letter, this Agreement shall terminate except with respect to Section 2(b) and Section 4;
or





 


(c)            If
the Offering is not consummated within ten (10) business days of the date of this Agreement, in which case any funds received by
the Trustee from the Company, CA2 Co-Investment LLC or Concord Sponsor Group III LLC, as applicable, shall be returned promptly following
the receipt by the Trustee of written instructions from the Company.


 


6.            Miscellaneous.


 


(a)            The
Company and the Trustee each acknowledge that the Trustee will follow the security procedures set forth below with respect to funds transferred
from the Trust Account. The Company and the Trustee will each restrict access to confidential information relating to such security procedures
to authorized persons. Each party must notify the other party immediately if it has reason to believe unauthorized persons may have obtained
access to such confidential information, or of any change in its authorized personnel. In executing funds transfers, the Trustee shall
rely upon all information supplied to it by the Company, including, account names, account numbers, and all other identifying information
relating to a Beneficiary, Beneficiary’s bank or intermediary bank. Except for any liability arising out of the Trustee’s
gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any
error in the information or transmission of the funds.


 






    5


     


    

 


(b)            This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect
to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. This Agreement may
be executed in several original or facsimile counterparts, each one of which shall constitute an original, and together shall constitute
but one instrument.


 


(c)            This
Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement
or any provision hereof may only be changed, amended or modified (other than to correct a typographical error) by a writing signed by
each of the parties hereto.


 


(d)            This
Agreement or any provision hereof may only be changed, amended or modified pursuant to Section 6(c) hereof with the Consent
of the Stockholders. For purposes of this Section 6(d), the “Consent of the Stockholders” means (i) receipt
by the Trustee of a certificate from the inspector of elections of the stockholder meeting certifying that the Company’s stockholders
of record as of a record date established in accordance with Section 213(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended
(or any successor rule), who hold sixty-five percent (65%) or more of all then outstanding shares of the Common Stock and Class B
common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company voting together as a single class, have voted in favor of such change, amendment
or modification, or (ii) the Company’s stockholders of record as of the record date who hold sixty-five percent (65%) or more
of all then outstanding shares of the Common Stock and Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company voting
together as a single class, have delivered to the Trustee a signed writing approving such change, amendment or modification. No such
amendment will affect any Public Stockholder who has otherwise indicated his, her or its election to redeem his, her or its shares of
Common Stock in connection with a stockholder vote sought to amend this Agreement, including a corresponding change to the Charter. Except
for any liability arising out of the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, the Trustee may rely conclusively
on the certification from the inspector or elections referenced above and shall be relieved of all liability to any party for executing
the proposed amendment in reliance thereon.


 


(e)            The
parties hereto consent to the jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court located in the City of New York, State of New York,
for purposes of resolving any disputes hereunder. AS TO ANY CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT,
EACH PARTY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.


 





(f)            Any
notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall

Re:     Trust Account -
Termination Letter


 


Dear
Mr. Wolf and Ms. Gonzalez:


 


Pursuant to Section 1(i) of the Investment
Management Trust Agreement between Concord Acquisition Corp III (the “Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company (the “Trustee”), dated as of _________, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”),
this is to advise you that the Company has entered into an agreement with [__________] (the “Target Business”)
to consummate a business combination with the Target Business (the “Business Combination”) on or about [insert
date]. The Company shall notify you at least seventy-two (72) hours in advance (or such shorter time as you may agree) of the actual
date of the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Consummation Date”). Capitalized terms used but
not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Trust Agreement.


 


In accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement,
we hereby authorize you to commence to liquidate all of the assets of the Trust Account and to transfer the proceeds to a segregated
account held by you on behalf of the Beneficiaries to the effect that, on the Consummation Date, all of the funds held in the Trust Account
will be immediately available for transfer to the account or accounts that the Company shall direct on the Consummation Date (including
as directed to it by the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters (with respect to the Deferred Discount)). It is acknowledged and
agreed that while the funds are on deposit in the trust operating account at Morgan Stanley awaiting distribution, neither the Company
nor the Representatives will earn any interest or dividends.


 


On
the Consummation Date (i) counsel for the Company shall deliver to you written notification that the Business Combination has been
consummated, or will be consummated substantially concurrently with your transfer of funds to the accounts as directed by the Company
(the “Notification”) and (ii) the Company shall deliver to you (a) a certificate of the Chief
Executive Officer, which verifies that the Business Combination has been approved by a vote of the Company’s stockholders, if a
vote is held and (b) a joint written instruction signed by the Company and the Representatives with respect to the transfer of the
funds held in the Trust Account, including payment of the Deferred Discount from the Trust Account (the “Instruction Letter”).
You are hereby directed and authorized to transfer the funds held in the Trust Account immediately upon your receipt of the Notification
and the Instruction Letter, in accordance with the terms of the Instruction Letter. In the event that certain deposits held in the Trust
Account may not be liquidated by the Consummation Date without penalty, you will notify the Company in writing of the same and the Company
shall direct you as to whether such funds should remain in the Trust Account and be distributed after the Consummation Date to the Company.
Upon the distribution of all the funds, net of any payments necessary for reasonable unreimbursed expenses related to liquidating the
Trust Account, your obligations under the Trust Agreement shall be terminated.


 


In
the event that the Business Combination is not consummated on the Consummation Date described in the notice thereof and we have not notified
you on or before the original Consummation Date of a new Consummation Date, then upon receipt by the Trustee of written instructions
from the Company, the funds held in the Trust Account shall be reinvested as provided in Section 1(c) of the Trust Agreement
on the business day immediately following the Consummation Date as set forth in such notice as soon thereafter as possible.
