Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

Pursuant to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Charter”) of Eureka Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), the Company had until March 3, 2026 to complete its initial business combination, however the Company may extend the period of time to consummate a business combination up to July 3, 2026, each by a one-month extension, subject to the deposit of $150,000 (the “Monthly Extension Fee”) into the trust account of the Company (the “Trust Account”).

On or around March 3, 2026, an aggregate of $150,000 of the Monthly Extension Fee was deposited into the Trust Account for the public shareholders, which enables the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by one month from March 3, 2026 to April 3, 2026 (the “Extension”). The payment of the Monthly Extension Fee was made by Marine Thinking Inc. (“Marine Thinking”), pursuant to that certain business combination agreement dated as of October 29, 2025 (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “BCA”), with Marine Thinking, an autonomous ship and fleet solution providing company incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”), and 17358750 Canada Inc., a company incorporated under the CBCA and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eureka (the “Amalgamation Sub”).

The Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000 (the “Extension Note”) dated March 13, 2026 to Marine Thinking in connection with the payment of the Monthly Extension Fee.

The Extension Note bears no interest and is payable in full upon the earlier to occur of (i) the consummation of the Company’s business combination or (ii) the date of expiry of the term of the Company (the “Maturity Date”). The following shall constitute an event of default: (i) a failure to pay the principal within five business days of the Maturity Date; (ii) the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy action, (iii) the breach of the Company’s obligations thereunder; (iv) any cross defaults; (v) an enforcement proceedings against the Company; and (vi) any unlawfulness and invalidity in connection with the performance of the obligations thereunder, in which case the Extension Note may be accelerated.

The payee of the Extension Note, Marine Thinking or its registered assignees or successors in interest, has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the Extension Note, in whole or in part, respectively, into private units (the “Units”) of the Company, each consisting of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Share”) and one right to receive one-fifth (1/5) of one Class A Ordinary Share upon the consummation of a business combination, as described in the prospectus of the Company (File No: 333-277780), by providing the Company with written notice of the intention to convert at least two business days prior to the closing of the business combination. The number of Units to be received by Marine Thinking in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to Marine Thinking by (y) $10.00.

The issuance of the Extension Note was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
