Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Copley Acquisition Corp (COPL) issued Copley Acquisition Sponsors LLC an amended and restated convertible promissory note on October 6, 2026, increasing the maximum aggregate principal amount available from $450,000 to $900,000. The note bears no interest, and its proceeds are for COPL’s working capital. It replaces the prior note.

Outstanding principal is due on the earlier of the effective date of a business combination or COPL’s liquidation. The Sponsor may elect, on or before that date, to convert any amount outstanding into units at $7.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. If COPL does not consummate a business combination, repayment is limited to amounts, if any, remaining outside the trust account.

convertible promissory note financial
"amended and restated convertible promissory note"
A convertible promissory note is a loan a company takes now that can later be turned into shares instead of being repaid in cash. Think of it as lending money with the option to accept ownership in the business down the road; that matters to investors because it affects who gets paid first, how much ownership existing shareholders keep, and the company’s future valuation and cash needs. Terms such as conversion price, interest and maturity determine the financial impact.
Maturity Date financial
"the “Maturity Date”"
The maturity date is the specific day when a loan, bond, or investment reaches its full term and the borrower must repay the borrowed amount in full. It is important for investors because it indicates when they will receive their initial money back and can plan their future financial steps accordingly. Think of it as the due date for a loan or the day a gift card or coupon expires.
business combination financial
"effective date of a business combination"
A business combination happens when two or more companies join together to operate as one, like two friends merging their teams into a single group. This is important because it can change how companies grow, compete, and make money, often making them bigger and more powerful in the market.
private placement units financial
"terms of such units ... identical to the private placement units"
trust account financial
"amounts remaining outside of COPL’s trust account"
A trust account is a special bank or brokerage account where assets are held and managed by a designated person or firm (the trustee) for the benefit of another person or group (the beneficiary). It matters to investors because it separates assets from personal or corporate funds, can protect assets, control how and when money is used, and may affect tax or legal rights—think of it as a locked drawer opened only under agreed rules.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 6, 2026, Copley Acquisition Corp (“COPL”) issued to Copley Acquisition Sponsors LLC (“Sponsor”) an amended and restated convertible promissory note (the “Note”). The Note amends and restates in its entirety that certain Convertible Promissory Note, dated as of June 12, 2025, previously issued by COPL to Sponsor (the “Existing Note”), as reported on COPL’s Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 13, 2025. The Note increases the maximum aggregate principal amount available thereunder from $450,000 to $900,000. Pursuant to the Note, COPL agreed to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Note on the earlier of (i) the effective date of a business combination, and (ii) COPL’s liquidation (the “Maturity Date”).

 

At any time on or prior to the Maturity Date, Sponsor may elect to convert any amounts outstanding under the Note (or any portion thereof) into units at a conversion price equal to $7.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share. The terms of such units issued in connection with such conversion shall be identical to the private placement units sold by COPL simultaneously with COPL’s initial public offering that closed May 2, 2025. The Note bears no interest. In the event that COPL does not consummate a business combination, the Note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of COPL’s trust account, if any.

The proceeds of the Note will be used by COPL for working capital purposes.
