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 April 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 April 2, 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 April 3, 2026 to May
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 6, 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.

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.

proposed transactions described herein, and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of
