*Departure of Director*

Effective May 18, 2026, Ningrong Liu resigned from the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Chenghe Acquisition III Co. (the "Company"). Mr. Liu's decision to resign was not due to any disagreement with the Company.

 

*Appointment of Director*

On May 17, 2026, the Board appointed Zhong Li to serve as an independent director of the Company, effective as of May 18, 2026.

The appointment of Mr. Li fills the vacancy on the Board that was created as a result of the departure of Mr. Liu. Mr. Li has been designated as a Class II director of the Company and will serve in that class until the expiration of the term applicable to Class II directors and until his successor is duly elected and qualified. The Board also appointed Mr. Li to serve on each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board.

Mr. Li brings over 20 years of experience at the nexus of finance, regulation, entrepreneurship and technology across Asia, the US, and Europe. He has deep expertise in asset management, fund distribution, compliance, and regulatory affairs, having served at the International Organization of Securities Commissions ("IOSCO"), the China Securities Regulatory Commission ("CSRC"), BlackRock, and Noah Holdings. He co-founded a fintech company (Totodi Technologies) and has extensive experience working with regulators and public markets. His background provides unique insight into cross-border investment frameworks, regulatory compliance, and strategic governance relevant to a SPAC structure.

Mr. Li will enter into an indemnification agreement in substantially the same form as the other non-employee directors of the Company. Mr. Li is not party to any transaction that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
