PROXY STATEMENT

FOR 2024 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD DECEMBER 19, 2024, AT 11:15 A.M. ATLANTIC STANDARD TIME

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of the Puerto Rico Residents Tax-Free Fund III, Inc., a Puerto Rico corporation (the "Fund"), for use at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders scheduled to be held virtually on December 19, 2024 at 11:15 a.m. Atlantic Standard Time (10:15 a.m. Eastern Standard Time), or at any adjournment or postponement thereof (the "2024 Annual Meeting").

The Fund's Annual Report, which includes its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024, has been mailed to all holders of shares of the Fund's common stock. Any shareholder that would like to receive additional copies of the Fund's Annual Report or copies of any subsequent shareholder report (including the most recent Semi-Annual Report succeeding the Annual Report, if any) free of charge should contact the Fund by writing to the address set forth on the first page of this Proxy Statement or by calling toll-free 1-800-221-9825. This Proxy Statement is first being mailed to the shareholders on or about November 15, 2024.

If the accompanying proxy is executed and returned in time to be voted at the 2024 Annual Meeting, the shares of common stock represented thereby will be voted in accordance with the instructions marked thereon. Unless instructions to the contrary are marked thereon, the proxy will be voted (i) FOR ALL of the nominees named in such proxy to be elected as members of the Board of Directors, and (ii) to the extent authorized under Rule 14a-4(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), in the discretion of the proxies named therein with respect to such other business as may properly come before the 2024 Annual Meeting. Any shareholder who has given a proxy has the right to revoke it at any time prior to its exercise, either by attending the 2024 Annual Meeting and voting their shares in person or by submitting a letter of revocation or a later-dated proxy that is, in either case, received prior to the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting.

The presence at the 2024 Annual Meeting virtually or representation by proxy of the holders of more than one-half of the outstanding shares of common stock will constitute a quorum. In the event a quorum is present at the 2024 Annual Meeting but sufficient votes to approve any of the proposed items are not received, the presiding officer of the 2024 Annual Meeting may decide to adjourn the 2024 Annual Meeting without any action by the shareholders to permit further solicitation of proxies. Additionally, the presiding officer of the 2024 Annual Meeting may decide to adjourn the 2024 Annual Meeting without any action by the shareholders whenever the requisite quorum has not been obtained to permit further solicitation of proxies.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND THE MEETING

Q. Why did you send me these proxy materials?

A.

This booklet contains a Notice of Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of the Fund, a Proxy Statement that describes the matters to be considered at the 2024 Annual Meeting and provides related information and a Proxy. You are receiving these proxy materials because you own, directly or through a broker-dealer, bank, or other intermediary, shares of the Fund.

Q. Who is entitled to vote at the 2024 Annual Meeting?

A.	Each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each full share of common stock held and a corresponding fraction of a vote for each fractional share of common stock held by the shareholder at the close of business on November 4, 2024.

Q. Who is asking for my vote?

A.	The Board of Directors of the Fund is asking you to vote at the 2024 Annual Meeting to vote FOR ALL of Carlos J. Nido and Luis M. Pellot to be elected as Directors of the Fund.

Q. What am I being asked to consider in connection with the 2024 Annual Meeting?

A.	You are being asked to consider and vote:

•	To elect two directors of the Fund (PROPOSAL 1); and

•	To transact such other business as may properly come before the 2024 Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Q. How does the Board of Directors recommend that the Fund's shareholders vote on the proposal?

A.	After careful consideration, the Board of Directors, including all the Independent Directors (as defined below), recommends that the shareholders vote FOR ALL on the proposal to elect Carlos J. Nido and Luis M. Pellot as Directors of the Fund.

Q. What is the required shareholder vote for approval of the proposal?

A.

In the election of Directors of the Fund (Proposal 1), the nominees will be elected by a plurality of votes cast at the 2024 Annual Meeting. In other words, if more than two persons are lawfully nominated for election at the 2024 Annual Meeting, only the two nominees receiving the highest number of votes cast at the 2024 Annual Meeting will be elected. Alternatively, in the event the only nominees standing for election are the two nominees of the Board of Directors then each such nominee will be elected so long as they receive at least one vote in favor of their election.

Q. How do I vote if I am a shareholder of record?

A.	You have three options to vote your shares in the Fund:

•	By Internet:

1.	Find the 16-digit control number on the accompanying proxy card sent to you in the mail. If you cannot find your proxy card, please contact your financial advisor or custodian for assistance.

2.	Go to www.proxyvote.com, enter your control number and follow the simple on-screen instructions.

3.	If you have multiple investments, be sure to scroll down after you submit your initial voting instructions, for other ballots that may be outstanding for this and other meetings which would be listed below. At the 2024 Annual Meeting:

•

By Mail:

1.	Sign and date the accompanying proxy card sent to you in the mail.

2.	Mail back with the enclosed business reply envelope.

3.	Please note that there may be multiple mailings, so once you have voted the proxy card, you may discard any future mailings you receive.

•	At the Virtual Meeting:

1.	Register at https://viewproxy.com/UBSPuertoRico/broadridgevsm/ no later than 5:00 p.m. Atlantic Standard Time (4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) on December 17, 2024.

Q. How do I vote if I am a beneficial shareholder with my shares held in street name?

A.

If you are a street name shareholder, you will receive voting instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee. You must follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee in order to direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares. Street name shareholders should generally be able to vote by telephone or by Internet or by signing, dating and returning a voting instruction form. However, the availability of telephone and Internet voting will depend on the voting process of your broker, bank or other nominee. If you are a street name shareholder, you may not vote your shares by ballot at the 2024 Annual Meeting unless you obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee.

Q. What is a proxy?

A.

A proxy is your legal designation of another person to vote the shares you own. That other person is called a proxy. If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document is also called a proxy or a proxy card. Messrs. William Rivera and Gustavo Romanach have been designated as the Fund's proxy holders by the Fund's Board of Directors for the 2024 Annual Meeting. When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the 2024 Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder.

Q. Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?

A.

Yes. If you are a shareholder of record, you can change your vote or revoke your proxy by attending the 2024 Annual Meeting and voting your shares virtually or by submitting a letter of revocation or a later-dated proxy that is, in either case, received prior to the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting. If you are a street name shareholder, your broker, bank or other nominee can provide you with instructions on how to change your vote.

Q. What should I do if I receive more than one proxy card or set of proxy materials from the Fund?

A.

Your shares may be owned through more than one brokerage or other share ownership account. In order to vote all of the shares that you own in accordance with the recommendations of the Fund's Board of Directors, you must use each proxy card you receive in order to vote with respect to each account by telephone, by Internet, or by signing, dating and returning the proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

Q. How will my shares be voted if I return the accompanying proxy card?

A.	The shares represented by the accompanying form of proxy will be voted in accordance with the specifications made on the proxy if it is properly executed and received by the Fund prior to or at the 2024 Annual Meeting.

Where a choice has been specified on the proxy card accompanying this Proxy Statement with respect to the proposal, the shares represented by such proxy card will be voted in accordance with the specifications therein.

The Directors do not intend to present any other business at the 2024 Annual Meeting nor are they aware that any shareholder intends to do so. If, however, any other matters are properly brought before the 2024 Annual Meeting, in accordance with the Fund's By-Laws, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote thereon in accordance with their judgment.

If you return the accompanying proxy card that has been validly executed without indicating how your shares should be voted on a matter and you do not revoke your proxy, your proxy will be voted (i) FOR ALL of the Director Nominees (Proposal 1), and (ii) to the extent authorized under Rule 14a-4(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), in the discretion of the proxies named therein with respect to such other business as may properly come before the 2024 Annual Meeting.

Q. Will my shares be voted if I do nothing?

A.

Pursuant to New York Stock Exchange rules applicable to brokers, if a broker provides you with competing proxy materials (in addition to the Fund's proxy materials), the broker will be prohibited from exercising discretionary authority with respect to any of the proposals to be voted on with respect to your account, unless you provide the broker with specific voting instructions. In these cases, those shares will not be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present. In other words, unless you provide your broker with specific voting instructions, the broker is not permitted to provide a proxy with respect to your shares, and, accordingly, such shares will not count as present for quorum purposes. If the broker has not provided you with competing proxy materials, the broker may vote your shares without your specific instruction with respect to routine proposals, including, in that case, Proposal 1 to elect the Director Nominees. In that case, if your broker casts a discretionary vote on Proposal 1, a "broker non-vote" will occur as to any other proposal on which you have not given specific voting instructions; such shares will count for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present; and any such broker non-vote will not be considered a vote cast on any such proposal.

YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT. To ensure that your shares are represented at the 2024 Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote TODAY by following the instructions on the accompanying proxy card to vote by Internet or telephone, or by signing, dating and returning the proxy card, whether or not you plan to attend the 2024 Annual Meeting. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the proxy or proxies you appointed cast your votes. If your bank, broker or other nominee is the holder of record of your shares (i.e., your shares are held in "street name"), you will receive voting instructions from such holder of record. You must follow these instructions in order for your shares to be voted. We urge you to instruct your broker or other nominee, by following the instructions on the accompanying proxy card, to vote your shares in line with the Board of Directors' recommendations on the proxy card.

Q. What is a quorum?

A.

A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to be present at the 2024 Annual Meeting to properly hold an annual meeting of shareholders and conduct business under the By-Laws and Puerto Rican law. Without a quorum, no business may be transacted at the 2024 Annual Meeting. The presence at the 2024 Annual Meeting virtually or representation by proxy of the holders of more than one-half of the outstanding shares will constitute a quorum.

Abstentions and withhold votes are counted as shares present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. If a broker provides you with competing proxy materials (in addition to the Fund's proxy materials), the broker will be prohibited from exercising discretionary authority with respect to any of the proposals to be voted on with respect to your account, unless you provide the broker with specific voting instructions. In these cases, those shares will not be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present. If the broker has not provided you with competing proxy materials, the broker may vote your shares without your specific instruction with respect to routine proposals, including, in that case, Proposal 1 to elect the Director Nominees. In that case, if your broker casts a discretionary vote on Proposal 1, a "broker non-vote" will occur as to any other proposal on which you have not given specific voting instructions, and such shares will count for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present.

Q. How will the 2024 Annual Meeting be conducted?

A.

The 2024 Annual Meeting will be conducted virtually, and any shareholder wishing to participate in the 2024 Annual Meeting by means of remote communication can do so. If you were a record holder of shares as of the close of business on the record date, November 4, 2024, please register at https://viewproxy.com/UBSPuertoRico/broadridgevsm/ no later than 5:00 p.m. Atlantic Standard Time (4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) on December 17, 2024 to attend and vote at the 2024 Annual Meeting. Broadridge will then e-mail you the login information and instructions for attending and voting at the 2024 Annual Meeting.

Q. If I can't attend the 2024 Annual Meeting, can I vote later?

A.

No, any votes submitted after the closing of the polls at the 2024 Annual Meeting will not be counted. You do not need to attend the virtual Meeting to vote if you submitted your vote via proxy in advance of the 2024 Annual Meeting. Whether or not shareholders plan to attend the 2024 Annual Meeting, we urge shareholders to vote and submit their proxy in advance of the 2024 Annual Meeting by one of the methods described in the proxy materials.

Q. Who can help answer any other questions I may have?

A.	If you have any questions or require any assistance with voting your shares, or if you need additional copies of the proxy materials, please contact the Fund in writing at 270 Munoz Rivera Ave, Suite 1110 San Juan, Puerto Rico 00918.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT REGARDLESS OF THE SIZE OF YOUR HOLDINGS IN THE FUND. WHETHER OR NOT YOU PLAN TO ATTEND THE MEETING, WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE COMPLETE, SIGN AND DATE THE PROXY CARD DELIVERED TO YOU AND RETURN IT PROMPTLY. RETURNING YOUR PROXY CARD WILL NOT PREVENT YOU FROM VOTING AT THE MEETING, BUT WILL ENSURE THAT YOUR VOTE IS COUNTED IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

As of November 4, 2024, the Directors and Officers of the Fund as a group beneficially owned an aggregate of less than 1% of the Fund's outstanding shares. The Fund's By-Laws define beneficial ownership to comprise all shares that a person, together with such person's affiliates and associates (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) may be deemed to beneficially own pursuant to Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act, as well as all shares that such person, together with such person's affiliates and associates, has the right to become the beneficial owner pursuant to any agreement or understanding, or upon the exercise of warrants, options or rights to convert or exchange (whether such rights are exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time or the occurrence of conditions).

The Board

The Independent Directors have designated Mr. Vila del Corral as Chairman of the Board of Directors. In that capacity, Mr. Vila del Corral presides at each meeting of the Board and, when appropriate, represents the views of the Board to management. The Board has determined that its leadership structure is appropriate for the Fund because it enables the Board to exercise informed and independent judgment over matters under its purview, allocates responsibility among committees in a manner that fosters effective oversight and allows the Board to devote appropriate resources to specific issues in a flexible manner as they arise. The Board periodically reviews its leadership structure as well as its overall structure, composition and functioning and may make changes in its discretion at any time.

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024 the Fund's Board of Directors met five times. During that period, each of the Directors then in office attended 100% of the meetings of the Board of Directors. The aggregate remuneration by the Fund to Independent Directors then serving in such capacity for attendance at such meetings held during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024 amounted to $30,000.

The Fund does not have a policy regarding director attendance at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and one of the Directors attended the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Audit Committee

The Fund's Board of Directors has a separately designated Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act, which is responsible for overseeing the Fund's accounting, financial reporting, and auditing policies and practices and for recommending to the Board of Directors any action to ensure that the Fund's accounting and financial reporting are consistent with acceptable accounting standards applicable to the mutual fund industry. The Board of Directors has adopted an Audit Committee Charter and Qualified Legal Compliance Committee Charter, which is included with this Proxy Statement as Appendix A. The Audit Committee is composed solely by Independent Directors, consisting of Messrs. Vila del Corral and Pagán, and Ms. Pérez. The Audit Committee is advised by independent legal counsel in connection with its duties. Since 2013, Mr. Vila del Corral has served as chairperson and financial expert of the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee met one time during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024. Each of the Independent Directors who were members of the Audit Committee during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024, attended 100% of the Audit Committee meetings during such fiscal year. The aggregate remuneration by the Fund to the Independent Directors then serving in such capacity for attendance at such meetings during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024, amounted to $3,000.

Audit Fees - The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by Ernst & Young, LLP ("E&Y") for the audit of the Fund's annual financial statements and for services that are normally provided by E&Y in connection with statutory and regulatory filings for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, were $60,487 and for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024, were $54,783.

Audit Related Fees - The aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services rendered by E&Y that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Fund's financial statements and are not disclosed above for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, were $0 and for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024, were $0. There were no audit-related fees required to be approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X during the fiscal years indicated above.

Tax Fees - The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by E&Y for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning in the form of preparation of excise filings and income tax returns for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, were $10,357 and for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024, were $10,357. There were no tax fees required to be approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X during the fiscal years indicated above.

All Other Fees - The aggregate fees billed for products and services provided by E&Y, other than the services disclosed above, for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, were $0 and for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024, were $0. There were no "all other" fees required to be approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X during the fiscal years indicated above.

The Fund's Audit Committee Charter requires that the Audit Committee pre-approve all audit and non-audit services to be provided to the Fund by the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm; provided, however, that the pre-approval requirement with respect to non-auditing services to the Fund may be waived consistent with the exceptions provided for in the Exchange Act.

All the audit and tax services described above for which E&Y billed the Fund fees for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023, and August 31, 2024, were pre-approved by the Audit Committee. For the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023, and August 31, 2024, the Fund's Audit Committee did not waive the pre-approval requirement of any non-audit services to be provided to the Fund by E&Y.

The aggregate non-audit fees billed by E&Y for services rendered to the Fund, its investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provide ongoing services to the Fund for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, were $0 and for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024, were $0.

The Audit Committee of the Fund's Board of Directors considered the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Fund's investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Fund's investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X and concluded that such services are compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.

Audit Committee Report. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the Fund's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024, with management of the Fund and with E&Y. The Audit Committee has received written disclosures and the letter required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, as may be modified or supplemented, from E&Y, independent auditors for the Fund. The Audit Committee has discussed with E&Y its independence with respect to the Fund and certain matters required to be discussed by Statements on Auditing Standards No. 114, as may be modified or supplemented. E&Y meets the independence requirements under AICPA standards and is independent from the Fund considering the independence rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Following the Audit Committee's review and discussion regarding the audit of the Fund's financial statements with Fund management and E&Y, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Fund's audited financial statements for the Fund's most recently completed fiscal year be included in the Fund's Annual Report to Shareholders. In addition, pursuant to the request of the Independent Directors who serve on the Audit Committee, executive sessions were held throughout the year with E&Y and Fund management to discuss any concerns the Independent Directors may have had regarding the Fund. The Audit Committee is notified by Fund management or E&Y if any material concerns arise during the course of the audit and preparation of the audited financial statements and before they are mailed to shareholders as part of the Fund's Annual Report to Shareholders. The Audit Committee has not received any such notifications for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024, as of the date of this Proxy Statement.

Enrique Vila del Corral, Chairperson of the Audit Committee

Clotilde Pérez, Member of the Audit Committee

Gabriel Pagán, Member of the Audit Committee

Dividend Committee

The Dividend Committee is responsible for the determination of the amount, the form, and record date of any dividends to be declared and paid by the Fund. The Dividend Committee has two members, Messrs. Vila del Corral and Nido, who are Independent Directors. The Dividend Committee did not meet during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024.

Compensation Committee

The Fund does not have a standing compensation committee.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Fund has a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee composed of two Independent Directors, Messrs. Pagán and Pellot. The principal responsibilities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are to identify individuals qualified to serve as Independent Directors of the Fund and to recommend its nominees for consideration by the full Board of Directors. The Independent Directors have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with these duties. While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is solely responsible for the selection and nomination of the Fund's Independent Directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider nominations for the office of Director made by Fund shareholders as it deems appropriate. Shareholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send nominations to the Fund's Secretary that include biographical information and set forth the qualifications of the proposed nominee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates nominees from whatever source using the same standard. The Fund has adopted a written Charter for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which is included with this Proxy Statement as Appendix B. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee was formed on May 19, 2021. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee did not meet during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024.

In identifying and evaluating a potential nominee to serve as an Independent Director of a Fund, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider, among other factors, (i) the contribution that the person can make to the Board of Directors, with consideration being given to the person's business and professional experience, education, and such other factors as the Committee may consider relevant; (ii) the character and integrity of the person; (iii) whether or not the person is "independent" as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act and whether the person is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a Director; (iv) whether or not the person has any business, charitable, financial or family relationships with Fund management, the investment advisers or managers of the Fund, any sub-adviser to the Fund, Fund service providers or their affiliates; (v) whether the individual is financially literate pursuant to applicable standards; (vi) whether or not the person serves on boards of, or is otherwise affiliated with, competing financial service organizations or their related investment company complexes; (vii) whether or not the person is willing to serve, and willing and able to commit the time necessary to perform the duties of a Fund Director; and (viii) whether or not the selection and nomination of the person would be consistent with the Fund's retirement policy.

Board Diversification and Director Qualifications

In determining that a particular director was qualified to serve on the Board, the Board has considered each director's background, skills, experience, and other attributes in light of the composition of the Board with no particular factor controlling. The Board believes that directors need to have the ability to critically review, evaluate, question, and discuss information provided to them, and to interact effectively with Fund management, service providers and counsel, in order to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties, and the Board believes each director satisfies this standard. An effective director may achieve this ability through his or her educational background; business, professional training or practice; public service or academic positions; experience from service as a board member or executive of investment funds, public companies or significant private or not-for-profit entities or other organizations; and/or other life experiences. Accordingly, set forth below is a summary of the experiences, qualifications, attributes, and skills that led to the conclusion, as of the date of this document, that each director should continue to serve in that capacity. References to the experiences, qualifications, attributes, and skills of directors are pursuant to requirements of the SEC, do not constitute holding out of the Board or any director as having any special expertise or experience and shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on any such person or on the Board by reason thereof.

Risk Oversight

The day-to-day operations of the Fund, including the management of risk, are performed by third party service providers, such as the Fund's investment adviser and the administrator. The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Fund's service providers and thus has oversight responsibilities with respect to risk management performed by those service providers. Risk management seeks to identify and address risks, i.e., events or circumstances that could have material adverse effects on the business, operations, shareholder services, investment performance or reputation of the Fund. The Fund and its service providers employ a variety of processes, procedures, and controls to identify certain of those possible events or circumstances, to lessen the probability of their occurrence and/or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur.

Not all risks that may affect the Fund can be identified nor can controls be developed to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects. It may not be practical or cost effective to eliminate or mitigate certain risks, the processes and controls employed to address certain risks may be limited in their effectiveness, and some risks are simply beyond the reasonable control of the Fund or the investment adviser or other service providers. Moreover, it is necessary to bear certain risks (such as investment-related risks) to achieve the Fund's goals. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, the Fund's ability to manage risk is subject to substantial limitations.

Risk oversight forms part of the Board's general oversight of the Fund and is addressed as part of various Board and Committee activities. As part of its regular oversight of the Fund, the Board, directly or through a committee, interacts with and reviews reports from, among others the Fund's investment adviser, the Fund's administrator, the Fund's chief compliance officer and its independent registered public accounting firm, as appropriate, regarding risks faced by the Fund. The Board is responsible for overseeing the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the investment adviser and receives information about those services at its regular meetings. In addition, on an annual basis, in connection with its consideration of whether to renew the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board meets with the investment adviser to review the services provided. Among other things, the Board regularly considers the investment adviser's adherence to the Fund's investment restrictions and compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities regulations. The Board has appointed a chief compliance officer who oversees the implementation and testing of the Fund's compliance program and reports to the Board regarding compliance matters for the Fund and its service providers. The Board, with the assistance of the investment adviser, reviews investment policies and risks in connection with its review of the Fund's performance. In addition, as part of the Board's oversight of the Fund's advisory and other service provider agreements, the Board may periodically consider risk management aspects of their operations and the functions for which they are responsible.

Required Vote

In the election of Directors of the Fund, the nominees will be elected by a plurality of votes cast at the 2024 Annual Meeting. In other words, if more than two persons are lawfully nominated for election at the 2024 Annual Meeting, only the two nominees receiving the highest number of votes cast at the 2024 Annual Meeting will be elected. Alternatively, in the event the only nominees standing for election are the two nominees of the Board of Directors, then each such nominee will be elected so long as they receive at least one vote in favor of their election. As a result, in each case, any shares not voted FOR a particular nominee, whether as a result of a withhold vote, a broker non-vote or an abstention (in each case, as described below), will not be counted in such nominee's favor and will have no effect on the outcome of the election.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, INCLUDING ALL THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR ALL" ON THE PROPOSAL TO ELECT THE ABOVE REFERENCED DIRECTOR NOMINEES AS DIRECTORS OF THE FUND.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the shares as of November 4, 2024 for:

●	each person or group of affiliated persons known by the Fund to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Fund's common stock;

●	each of the Fund's named executive officers;

●	each of the Fund's directors; and

●	all of the Fund's current executive officers and directors as a group.

The Fund has determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, and thus it represents sole or shared voting or investment power with respect to the Fund's shares. Unless otherwise indicated below, to the Fund's knowledge, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares that they beneficially owned, subject to applicable community property laws.

Applicable percentage ownership is based on 10,019,004 shares of the Fund's common stock outstanding as of the close of business on November 4, 2024.

The information provided in the table is based on the Fund's records, information filed with the SEC and information provided to the Fund, except where otherwise noted.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS

The Fund's By-Laws require the Fund to indemnify the Directors and Officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Puerto Rico General Corporations Act, the Investment Companies Act of Puerto Rico, and Section 17(h) of the 1940 Act. Pursuant to Section 17(h) of the 1940 Act, such indemnification of the Directors would not protect a Director from liability to the Fund or its shareholders from liability that the Director would otherwise be subject to by reason of such Director's own bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties as a Director.

Other than as described above, since September 1, 2023, the Fund has not entered into any transactions, nor are there any currently proposed transactions, between the Fund and a related party where the amount involved exceeds, or would exceed, $120,000, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Withhold Votes, Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Proxies (i) that are returned to the Fund but are accompanied by instructions to withhold authority to vote or (ii) that are marked with an abstention, if applicable, will be considered to be present at the 2024 Annual Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum. Withhold votes and abstentions will not be counted as votes cast. If you are a street name shareholder and your broker has not provided you with competing proxy materials, the broker may vote your shares without your specific instruction with respect to routine proposals, including, in that case, Proposal 1 to elect the Director Nominees. In that case, if your broker casts a discretionary vote on Proposal 1, a "broker non-vote" will occur as to any other proposal on which you have not given specific voting instructions; such shares will count for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present; and any such broker non-vote will not be considered a vote cast on any such proposal.

Unless instructions to the contrary are marked thereon, the accompanying proxy card will be voted FOR ALL of the Director Nominees to be elected.

The election of Directors (PROPOSAL 1) requires that the nominee be elected by a plurality of votes cast at the 2024 Annual Meeting. In other words, if more than two persons are lawfully nominated for election at the meeting, only the two nominees receiving the highest number of votes cast at the 2024 Annual Meeting will be elected. Alternatively, in the event the only nominees standing for election are the two nominees of the Board of Directors, then each such nominee will be elected so long as they receive at least one vote in favor of their election. As a result, any shares not voted FOR a particular nominee, whether as a result of a withhold vote, a broker non-vote or an abstention, will not be counted in such nominee's favor and will have no effect on the outcome of the election.

Other Matters to Come Before the 2024 Annual Meeting

The Directors do not intend to present any other business at the 2024 Annual Meeting nor are they aware that any shareholder intends to do so except as described herein.

For a Rule 14a-8 shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders, the Fund's Secretary must receive the written proposal at the Fund's principal executive offices not later than July 18, 2025. In addition, such shareholder proposals must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act regarding the inclusion of shareholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials.

As provided for in the Fund's By-Laws, at any annual or special meeting of shareholders, proposals by shareholders (other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act) and persons nominated for election as Directors by shareholders shall be considered only if advance notice thereof has been timely given as provided herein, and such proposals or nominations are otherwise proper for consideration under applicable law and the Fund's Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws. Notice of any proposal to be presented by any shareholder or the name of any person to be nominated by the shareholder for election as a Director of the Fund at any meeting of shareholders, shall be delivered to the Fund's Secretary at its principal executive office at 270 Munoz Rivera Ave, Suite 1110 San Juan, Puerto Rico 00918 not less than thirty (30) days nor more than fifty (50) days prior to the date of the meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the meeting is first publicly announced or disclosed (in a public filing or otherwise) less than forty (40) days prior to the date of the meeting, such notice shall be given not more than ten (10) days after such date is first so announced or disclosed. Public notice shall be deemed to have been given more than forty (40) days in advance of the annual meeting, if the Fund shall have previously disclosed, in the Fund's By-Laws or otherwise, that the annual meeting in each year is to be held on a determinable date unless and until the Board of Directors determines to hold the meeting on a different date. To be timely for the 2024 Annual Meeting, notice of any proposal to be presented by any shareholder or the name of any person to be nominated by the shareholder for election as a Director of the Fund at the 2024 Annual Meeting shall be delivered to the Fund's Secretary at its principal executive office no later than November 25, 2024. Any shareholder who gives notice of any such proposal shall deliver therewith the text of the proposal to be presented and a brief written statement of the reasons why such shareholder favors the proposal and setting forth such shareholder's name and address, the number and class of all shares of stock of the Fund beneficially owned by such shareholder, and any material interest of such shareholder in the proposal (other than as a shareholder). Any shareholder desiring to nominate any person for election as a Director shall deliver with such notice a statement in writing setting forth the name of the person to be nominated, the number and class of all shares of stock of the Fund beneficially owned by such person, the information regarding such person as would be required by paragraphs (a), (e), and (f) of Item 401 of Regulation S-K adopted by the SEC (or the corresponding provisions of any regulation subsequently adopted by the SEC), such person's signed consent to serve as a Director of the Fund if elected, such shareholder's name and address as well as the number and class of all shares of stock of the Fund beneficially owned by such shareholder. The person presiding at the 2024 Annual Meeting, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the 2024 Annual Meeting, shall determine whether such notice has been duly given and shall direct that any such proposal and/or the respective nominee not be considered if such notice has not been given as provided herein.

Costs of Solicitation

In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, directors, officers, and representatives of the Fund as well as officers and other employees of ALPS Fund Services, Inc., in its capacity as Fund administrator, and its respective affiliates, may also solicit proxies by telephone, telefax, or in person. The Fund has not retained any specially engaged employees, representatives or other persons (other than Broadridge to perform certain ministerial services) to assist in the proxy solicitation and setting up and administering the virtual shareholder meeting for the Fund. The cost of solicitation and the expenses incurred in connection with preparing this Proxy Statement and its enclosures will be paid by the Fund. The Fund will reimburse brokerage firms and others for their expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the shares.

Shareholder Communications

Shareholders may send communications to the Fund's Board of Directors by addressing the communication directly to the Board (or individual Board members) and/or clearly indicating that the communication is for the Board (or individual Board members). The communication may be sent to either the Fund's principal executive office at 270 Munoz Rivera Ave, Suite 1110 San Juan, Puerto Rico 00918 or directly to such Board member(s) at the address specified for each Director above. Other shareholder communications received by the Fund not directly addressed and sent to the Board will be reviewed and generally responded to by management and will be forwarded to the Board only at management's discretion based on the matters contained therein.

Shareholders Sharing the Same Address

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as brokers and banks) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those shareholders.

Once you have received notice from your bank or broker that it will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report, please notify your bank or broker and direct your request to the Fund's Secretary at:

Puerto Rico Residents Tax-Free Fund III, Inc.

270 Munoz Rivera Ave, Suite 1110

San Juan, Puerto Rico 00918

Shareholders who currently receive multiple copies of this Proxy Statement at their address and would like to request householding of their communications should contact their bank or broker.

Your vote is important regardless of the size of your holdings in the Fund. Whether or not you plan to attend the 2024 Annual Meeting, we ask that you please complete, sign and date the proxy card delivered to you and return it promptly. Returning your proxy card will not prevent you from voting at the 2024 Annual Meeting, but will ensure that your vote is counted if you are unable to attend.

APPENDIX A: Audit Committee Charter and Qualified Legal Compliance

Committee Charter

ORGANIZATION

There shall be an audit committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors (the "Board"). The Committee shall be composed of a majority of Directors who are not "interested persons" of the Fund as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and are free of any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with their exercise of independent judgement as a Committee member. The Committee will also serve as the Fund's "Qualified Legal Compliance Committee."

The Board, by resolution adopted by a majority of the Directors, may:

1.	Fill any vacancy on the Committee;

2.	Appoint one or more Directors of the Fund to serve as alternate members of the Committee, to act in the absence or disability of members of the Committee with all the powers of such absent or disabled members;

3.	Abolish the Committee at their pleasure; and

4.	Remove any Directors from membership on the Committee at any time, with or without cause.

PURPOSE

The purposes of the Committee are:

1.	to oversee the accounting and financial reporting policies and practices of the Fund, their internal controls and, as appropriate, the relevant internal controls of the Fund's service providers, as the Committee deems appropriate;

2.	to oversee the independent audit of the Fund's financial statements, including the integrity, quality and objectivity thereof;

3.	to oversee the performance of the Fund's independent registered public accountants (the "Auditor");

4.	to act as a liaison between the Fund's Auditor and the Board; and

5.	to oversee compliance with the Code of Ethics for Principal Executive and Senior Financial Officers.

The function of the Committee is oversight. The Fund's management is responsible for (i) the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Fund's financial statements, (ii) the maintenance of appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and policies and (iii) the maintenance of internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The Auditor is responsible for planning and carrying out audits and reviews in accordance with professional standards. In fulfilling their responsibilities hereunder, it is recognized that members of the Committee are not employees of the Fund. As such, it is not the duty or responsibility of the Committee or its members to conduct "field work" or other types of auditing or accounting reviews or procedures or to set auditor independence standards.

Each member of the Committee shall be entitled to rely on (i) the integrity of those persons and organizations within and outside the Fund from which they receive information, (ii) the accuracy of the financial and other information provided to the Committee by such persons and organizations absent actual knowledge to the contrary (which shall be promptly reported to such Fund's Board), and (iii) statements made by the officers and employees of the Fund, the investment adviser or other third parties as to any information technology, internal audit and other non-audit services provided by the Auditor to the Fund. In addition, the evaluation of the Fund's financial statements by the Committee is not of the same scope as, and does not involve the extent of detail as, audits performed by the Auditor, nor does the Committee's evaluation substitute for the responsibilities of the Fund's management for preparing, or the Auditor's for auditing, the financial statements.

MEETINGS

The Committee shall meet at least twice each year and more often if necessary. The Committee will meet, as it deems necessary, separately with management, the Auditor and/or members of the Fund's accounting agent. The Committee shall cause minutes of its meetings to be prepared and submit such minutes to the full Board.

DUTIES OF COMMITTEE

The Committee's responsibilities include the following:

Auditor Oversight

The Committee shall approve the selection, retention, compensation, or termination of the Auditor. In connection therewith, the Committee shall ensure receipt from the Auditor of a formal written statement delineating the terms of the relationship between the Auditor and the Fund and shall evaluate the independence of the Auditor in light of applicable regulations, SEC guidance and no-action letters and industry standards. During such evaluation, the Committee shall consider, among other things, whether the Auditor provides any consulting, audit or non-audit services to the investment adviser of the Fund or its control affiliates, and the Auditor's specific representations as to its independence. The Auditor shall promptly report to the Committee any material matters bearing on its independence.

2.	The Committee shall meet with the Auditor, including private meetings, at least once a year and more often if necessary:

g.	to review the form of opinion or report the Auditor proposes to render to the Board and the Fund's members;

m.	to discuss with the Auditor any required communication as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

3.	The Committee shall consider material questions of choice presented to the Committee by the Fund's officers, the service providers or the Auditor, with respect to appropriate accounting principles and practices to be used in the preparation of the Fund's financial statements;

4.

The Committee shall have the power, to the extent permitted by law, to inquire into any of the Fund's financial matters. The Committee shall review with management and the Auditor, significant matters arising in the preparation of the annual financial statements and assess with the Auditor whether the financial statements reflect appropriate accounting policies;

5.	The Committee shall inquire of management and the Auditor as to their procedures to assess the representation of securities valuations provided by external pricing sources, particularly where such valuations are not based on prices last quoted in organized markets;

6.

For securities valued at "fair value" as determined in good faith under procedures established by the Board, the Committee shall inquire as to Auditor's conclusions as to reasonableness of procedures, management's adherence to established "fair value" procedures, and adequacy of supporting documentation;

7.	The Committee shall review with the Auditor, among others, regulatory and other matters that may have a material impact on the Fund's financial statements, related compliance policies, and programs, as well as reports received from regulators;

9.	The Committee shall inquire as to management's and the Auditor's views about how the Fund's choices of accounting (including valuation policies) and tax principles and disclosure practices may affect shareholder and public views and attitudes about the Fund; and

10.	Discuss with the Fund's officers the Fund's major financial exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures, including the Fund's risk assessment and risk management policies.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Permitted Non-Audit Services

1.	Pre-Approval Requirements of the Fund. The Committee shall pre-approve all auditing services and permissible non-audit services (e.g., tax services) to be provided to the Fund by the Auditor, including the fees associated with those services.

2.

Pre-Approval Requirements of Affiliates. Additionally, the Committee shall pre- approve any engagement of the Auditor to provide non-audit services to an investment adviser of the Fund or to any affiliate of such investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund.

3.

Delegation. The Committee may delegate to the Chairman of the Committee, or if the Chairman is not available, one or more of its members, the authority to grant pre- approvals. The decisions of any member to whom authority is delegated shall be presented to the full Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

4.

Prohibited Services. The Committee shall confirm with the Auditor that the Auditor is not performing contemporaneously with the Fund's audit any prohibited non-audit services for the Fund, any investment adviser, or any affiliates of the Fund or such investment adviser. The Auditor is responsible for informing the Committee of whether it believes that a particular service is permissible or prohibited pursuant to applicable regulations and standards.

Supervision of Management

The Committee shall meet with management of the Fund:

1.	to review the financial statements contained in the annual and semi-annual reports prior to dissemination to shareholders and the scope of the annual audit, including any related matters;

The Board shall authorize related disclosures concerning this matter. The designation of a person as an "audit committee financial expert" shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on that person than the responsibility and liability imposed on such person as a member of the Committee, nor does it decrease the duties and obligations of other Committee members.

1.	The Committee shall:

a.	have the authority to authorize and oversee investigations into any matters within the Committee's scope of responsibilities;

b.	consider such other matters as may be referred to it from time to time by the Board and report to the Board regularly and as requested on the performance of its responsibilities and findings;

APPENDIX B: NOMINATING AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE CHARTER

Governance and Nominating Committee Membership and Purposes

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the "Governance Committee") of the Puerto Rico Residents Tax Free Family of Funds (the "Funds") shall be composed solely of members of the Board of Directors of the Funds ("Board") who are not "interested persons" of the Funds ("Independent Directors"), as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act") and the rules thereunder. The Governance Committee shall consist of at least three Independent Directors selected by the Board.

The primary purposes of the Governance Committee are to consider and evaluate the structure, composition and operation of the Board, to evaluate and recommend individuals to serve on the Board, and to consider and make recommendations relating to the compensation of Independent Directors.

Duties and Powers of the Governance Committee

1.

The Governance Committee shall coordinate with counsel to the Funds or to the Independent Directors to establish and carry out a process for an annual evaluation by the Board of the performance of the Board and its various committees. The Governance Committee shall report to the Board the findings and recommendations from these evaluations.

2.

The Governance Committee shall periodically review the composition of the Board and each committee thereof and the backgrounds and skill sets of the Board and committee members to determine whether it may be appropriate to recommend adding or removing Directors. The Governance Committee shall propose to the Board and the Independent Directors changes to the number of positions on the Board and each committee. The Governance Committee shall also review as it deems necessary the responsibilities of any committees of the Board, whether there is a continuing need for each committee, whether there is a need for additional committees, and whether committees should be combined or reorganized and shall make recommendations to the Board on these matters.

3.

The Governance Committee shall recommend to the Independent Directors of the Funds the selection and nomination of candidates for Independent Directors, whether proposed to be appointed by the Board or to be elected by shareholders. The Governance Committee may consider recommendations for candidates from any source it deems appropriate. The Governance Committee shall evaluate candidates' qualifications for Board membership and their independence from the Funds' investment advisers and other principal service providers. The Governance Committee shall consider the effect of any relationships delineated in the 1940 Act or other types of relationships, e.g., business, financial or family relationships with the investment adviser(s) or other principal service providers, which might impair independence. In determining candidates' qualifications for Board membership, the Governance Committee may consider all factors it may determine to be relevant to fulfilling the role of being a member of the Board. The Governance Committee shall consider the nature of and time involved in a candidate's service on other boards in evaluating whether such service may impair the candidate's ability to objectively and effectively serve on the Board, and the potential existence of material conflicts of interest. In the absence of contrary information, the Governance Committee is entitled to rely on answers provided in writing by a candidate to a Directors and Officers Questionnaire prepared by counsel to the Funds.

4.

The Governance Committee shall nominate candidates for the various committees for selection by the Board. In determining candidates' qualifications for committee membership, the Governance Committee may consider all factors it may determine to be relevant to fulfilling the role of being a member of the committee. The Governance Committee shall have the authority to establish policies concerning membership on all committees of the Funds, including rotation of membership and rotation of chairs.

5.

The Governance Committee shall review at least every two years the compensation paid to Independent Directors, including the appropriateness and amount of any special compensation for specific positions or services, and shall recommend any proposed changes in compensation to the Independent Directors as a group. If special board meetings are held during any year, the Governance Committee will determine whether additional compensation is appropriate on a case-by-case basis. The chair of the Governance Committee may propose an interim review of compensation.

6.	The Governance Committee shall review annually Directors and Officers/Errors and Omissions insurance matters and report its findings and recommendations to the Board.

7.	The Governance Committee shall coordinate the review of all committee charters annually (or more often, if necessary to meet regulatory requirements).

8.	The Governance Committee is empowered to investigate and report on any other matter brought to its attention within the scope of its duties.

9.

The Governance Committee has the authority to retain, at the Funds' expense, such advisers or experts, as the Governance Committee deems necessary or appropriate to fulfill its responsibilities. If the Governance Committee retains an adviser or, if any, expert, counsel to the Independent Directors shall notify the Independent Chair and the Funds' Treasurer of the amount of the fees and expenses to be charged for the adviser's expert's services (or estimates thereof).

The Governance Committee shall review policy matters affecting the operation of the Board and Board committees no later than every two years and make such recommendations to the Board as deemed appropriate by the Governance Committee for the Board's approval. As part of its review, the Governance Committee will consider whether the principles and practices have been, and are likely to continue to be, effective in enabling the Board to fulfill its responsibilities. The Governance Committee may also compare current practices to the expectations of shareholders; changes in the law or

10.	regulations; and the practices of other boards in the industry. The Governance Committee shall from time to time recommend to the Board any other policies concerning Board operations.

Operations of the Governance Committee

1.

The Governance Committee shall meet on a regular basis and at least annually and is empowered to hold special meetings as circumstances require. The chair or a majority of the members shall be authorized to call a meeting of the Governance Committee and send notice thereof. Notice of meetings shall be made to each member by any reasonable means at least one week in advance of a meeting, except two days' notice of a meeting shall be sufficient when, in the judgment of the chair or a majority of the members, more notice is impractical or special circumstances exist requiring a meeting in less than a week's time.

2.	The Governance Committee shall ordinarily meet in person; however, members may attend telephonically, and the Governance Committee may act by written consent, to the extent permitted by law and by the Funds' bylaws.

3.	The Governance Committee shall have the authority to meet privately and to admit non- members individually by invitation.

4.	The Governance Committee may select one of its members to be the chair and may select a vice chair.

5.

A majority of the members of the Governance Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Governance Committee. The action of a majority of the members of the Governance Committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the action of the Governance Committee.

6.

Reliance on Third Parties - In discharging their duties the members of the Governance Committee are entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, if prepared or presented by: (1) one or more officers of the Funds whom the Governance Committee member reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented; (2) legal counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to matters the Governance Committee member reasonably believes are within the person's professional or expert competence; or (3) another Board committee.

The Board shall adopt and approve this Charter and may amend it on the Board's own motion. The Governance Committee shall review this Charter at least annually and recommend to the full Board any changes the Governance Committee deems appropriate.
