Eureka Acquisition Corp (EURK) - Form 8-K Summary
Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed on October 6, 2025, by Eureka Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company. The filing addresses the extension of the deadline to consummate an initial business combination. The company's securities trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbols EURKU (Units), EURK (Class A ordinary shares), and EURKR (Rights).
Key Financial Metrics and Obligations
The filing details a specific financial obligation created to extend the company's operational timeline:
- Extension Fee: $150,000 deposited into the Trust Account on October 1, 2025.
- Debt Instrument: An unsecured promissory note (the "Extension Note") with a principal amount of $150,000 issued to the Sponsor, Hercules Capital Management Corp.
- Interest Rate: 0% (non-interest bearing).
- Maturity: Payable in full upon the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or the date of expiry of the company's term.
- Liquidity Impact: The fee was paid by the Sponsor; the company incurred a liability rather than an immediate cash outflow from its own operating accounts.
The filing text does not provide clear values for revenue, profit, cash flow, or margins, as this is a current report regarding a specific transaction rather than a periodic financial statement.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the extension of the deadline to complete an initial business combination. The original deadline was October 3, 2025. Following the deposit of the extension fee, the new deadline is November 3, 2025. The company retains the option to extend this period further in one-month increments up to July 3, 2026, subject to additional monthly deposits of $150,000.
Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
Management Commentary and Outlook: The filing indicates the company is actively managing its timeline to secure a business combination. The Sponsor has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the Extension Note into private Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit prior to the closing of a business combination.
Risks and Contingencies: The Extension Note contains specific events of default, including failure to pay principal within five business days of maturity, commencement of bankruptcy proceedings, breach of obligations, cross-defaults, enforcement proceedings, or unlawfulness of the obligations. Upon an event of default, the note may be accelerated.
Unusual Items: 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. The Units issuable upon conversion are subject to transfer restrictions until the completion of the initial business combination.
