The disclosures set forth under Item 2.03 are incorporated
by reference.
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 May 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 May 4, 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 May 3, 2026 to June 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 April 4, 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.
A copy of the Extension Note
is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the
Extension Note does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Extension
Note.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
The information disclosed
under Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02 to the extent required herein. The
Units (and the underlying securities) issuable upon conversion of the Note, if any, (1) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions,
be transferable or salable by Marine Thinking until the completion of the Company’s initial business combination and (2) are entitled
to registration rights.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
In connection with the proposed
transaction, the Company filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-295483) that includes a proxy statement

will contain important information about the Company, Marine Thinking, Amalgamation Sub and the proposed transactions. After the registration
statement is declared effective, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus to be included in the registration statement will be mailed
to shareholders of the Company as of a record date to be established for voting on the proposed transactions. Shareholders will also be

preliminary and definitive proxy statement/prospectus to be included in the registration statement, once available, can also be obtained,
without charge, at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).

8-K is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the
proposed transactions described herein, and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of
the Company or the Marine Thinking, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction
in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such
jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended.

or other settlements or investigations may affect the timing or occurrence of the proposed transaction or result in significant costs
of defense, indemnification and liability; (vi) changes in general economic and/or industry specific conditions; (vii) possible disruptions
from the proposed transaction that could harm the Company business; (viii) the ability of the Company to retain, attract and hire key
personnel; (ix) potential adverse reactions or changes to relationships with customers, employees, suppliers or other parties resulting
from the announcement or completion of the proposed transaction; (x) potential business uncertainty, including changes to existing business
relationships, during the pendency of the proposed transaction that could affect the Company’s financial performance; (xi) legislative,
regulatory and economic developments; (xii) unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, acts

Form 8-K and other documents filed with the SEC. The foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. Neither the Company nor Marine
Thinking can give any assurance that the conditions to the proposed transaction will be satisfied. Except as required by applicable law,
