When ARCI insiders can sell
Archimedes Tech SPAC Partners III Co. · IPO prospectus filed 2026-01-26 · Single cliff · 180-day lock-up
That is the calendar date the clause computes to, counted from the prospectus date. It is the only date computable without knowing a future earnings date, which is why everything that could pull it earlier is printed below it on this page rather than folded into it.
The lock-up clause, in the issuer's words
Every other free lock-up calendar tells you 180 days and moves on. This is the actual sentence the date above was computed from, so that if the words do not support the number, the number is wrong and the filing is one click away.
…ial shareholders would expire as follows: Founder Shares Private Units six months after completion of our initial business combination, subject to early release at specified share prices upon completion of our initial business combination We, our sponsor and our officers and directors have agreed that, for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus, we and they will not, without the prior written consent of the representative, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any units, ordinary shares, warrants or any other securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, ordinary shares, subject to certain exceptions.

Where the share count comes from
The prospectus never prints the number of shares coming free, and nothing in it lets the figure be derived. That is why this deal carries no flow math.
Exceptions written into the lock-up (3)
Each of these is a route by which ARCI shares can move before 2026-07-25. The 10b5-1 carve-out is the one worth reading twice: it lets insiders put a selling plan in place during the lock-up, so the first sales can be automatic and immediate rather than discretionary and later.

- bona fide gift or charitable transfer
- estate planning or family transfer
Upon the public announcement of our initial business combination, if we elect to conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, we and our sponsor will terminate any plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 to purchase our ordinary shares in the open market, in order to comply with Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act.

What we could not establish
ARCI is read but not publishable: the prospectus does not state how many shares come free. So there is no absorb-day figure on this page and no call, and there will not be one until the number exists in a filing.
The common case is a prospectus that says "substantially all" of the locked shares become eligible for sale without ever printing a count. The clause above is quoted in full so you can see that for yourself. An estimate presented with a filing link beside it would read as a filing figure, and that is worse than an admission — it is the one failure mode a reader cannot detect.
How this reading of ARCI could be wrong
The lock-up period is restated 2 times in this prospectus. Issuers repeat the clause on the cover, in the summary, in the risk factors and in the underwriting section, and the wording is not always identical. The parser resolved them to one period; if a reader finds a restatement that disagrees, the quote above is the one it used.
The volume is a vendor's, not ours. ARCI is not in our own price table, so average daily volume comes from yahoo-finance2 daily bars (symbol not in our price table). Vendor bars for recently listed symbols are the ones most likely to be wrong.
Only 20 sessions of volume history. This is a recent IPO, and early volume is dominated by the offering itself. An average over 20 sessions of a stock that has barely traded is the weakest input on the page, and absorb days inherits every bit of that weakness.
The parser can misread a filing. That is why every number here is printed next to the words it came from. Earlier versions of this parser read the underwriters' 30-day over-allotment window as a 30-day lock-up on five deals, and double-counted one issuer's share total because the offering summary appears on both the cover and in the summary section.

Lock-ups cluster, because IPOs cluster: these priced in the same window as ARCI and come free in the same month. Several heavy releases landing together is a different situation from one.
