**Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

On May 4, 2026, Black Hawk Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the "Company"), issued a convertible promissory note (the "Note") in the principal amount of up to $300,000 to Black Hawk Management LLC (the "Sponsor"). The Note was issued in connection with advances the Sponsor has made, and may make in the future, to the Company for working capital expenses.

The Note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, commencing on April 20, 2026, and is due and payable upon the occurrence of (i) the closing of the Company's initial business combination (a "DeSPAC Transaction") or (ii) the liquidation of the Company. In the event of a liquidation, all amounts due under the Note will be repaid in cash. In the event of a DeSPAC Transaction, the Sponsor may elect to receive repayment in cash or to convert the outstanding principal balance of the Note into shares of common stock of the post-business combination company at a conversion price of $1.00 per share.

If converted, the number of shares issuable will equal the portion of the principal amount being converted divided by $1.00, rounded up to the nearest whole share. The conversion shares will be entitled to registration rights and the holders will enter into a registration rights agreement with the post-DeSPAC company consistent with the Company's existing registration rights agreement.

The Note may be prepaid at any time without penalty upon written notice by the Company to the Sponsor. The Note is unsecured, and the Sponsor has waived any claim against the funds held in the Company's trust account established in connection with the Company's initial public offering.

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

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Note, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

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

The disclosure set forth above under Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.**

To the extent the Note may be converted into ordinary shares upon the closing of a DeSPAC Transaction, such shares will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as a transaction not involving a public offering.

Black Hawk Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempt company (the "**Maker**"), promises to pay to the order of Black Hawk Management LLC, or its registered assigns or successors in interest (the "**Payee**"), or order, the principal sum of up to Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) in lawful money of the United States of America, on the terms and conditions described below. All payments on this Note shall be made by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds or as otherwise determined by the Maker to such account as the Payee may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Note.

**1. Principal.** The principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable by the Maker upon the closing of a Repayment/Conversion Trigger Event, as such term is defined below (the "**Maturity Date**"). The principal balance may be prepaid at any time prior to the Maturity Date without penalty upon written notice by the Maker to the Payee, subject to the terms of Section 1(b) hereof. Under no circumstances shall any individual, including but not limited to any officer, director, employee or shareholder of the Maker, be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities of the Maker hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each of the following shall constitute a "**Repayment/Conversion Trigger Event** ":

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the closing of a merger, consolidation or other business combination pursuant to which the Maker acquires an entity for its initial business combination (a "  ***DeSPAC Transaction*** "); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) subject to the terms below, the liquidation of the Maker on or before the expiration of the time available under the Maker's certificate of incorporation for the Maker to consummate a business combination, or such later liquidation date as may be approved by Maker's stockholders (a "  ***Liquidation*** "), that occurs while the Note is outstanding or any time thereafter prior to the repayment of the Note.

Maker shall provide Payee at least ten (10) calendar days' prior written notice of any Repayment/Conversion Trigger Event, and to the extent applicable, a copy of the material terms and conditions of the DeSPAC Transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Form of Repayment.** In the event of a Liquidation, all amounts due under this Note shall be repaid in cash. In the event of a DeSPAC Transaction, the Note may be repaid, at the Payee's discretion, (i) in cash or (ii) in Conversion Shares (as defined below), pursuant to Section 15 herein. Absent reasonable prior written notice by Payee to convert into Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 15 herein, the Note shall become due and payable in cash at the closing of such DeSPAC Transaction.

**2.** **Interest.** Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note at a rate of 10% per annum, commencing on April 20, 2026, and continuing for a period of one year.

**3.** **Drawdown Requests.** Maker and Payee agree that Maker may request up to Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) for working capital and extension purposes. The principal of this Note may be drawn down from time to time prior to the Maturity Date upon request from Maker to Payee (each, a "**Drawdown Request**"). Payee shall fund each Drawdown Request no later than five (5) business days after receipt of a Drawdown Request; provided, however, that the maximum amount of drawdowns collectively under this Note is Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000). Once an amount is drawn down under this Note, it shall not be available for future Drawdown Requests even if prepaid. No fees, payments or other amounts shall be due to Payee in connection with, or as a result of, any Drawdown Request by Maker. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all payments shall be applied first to payment in full of any costs incurred in the collection of any sum due under this Note, including (without limitation) reasonable attorneys' fees, and then to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

**4. Application of Payments.** All payments shall be applied first to payment in full of any costs incurred in the collection of any sum due under this Note, including (without limitation) reasonable attorney's fees, then to the payment in full of any late charges and finally to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

**5. Events of Default.** The following shall constitute an event of default ("**Event of Default**"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Failure to Make Required Payments</u>. Failure by Maker to pay the principal amount due (including, but not limited to, by way of the issuance of Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms of this Note) pursuant to this Note within five (5) business days of the date specified above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Voluntary Bankruptcy, Etc</u>. The commencement by Maker of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, rehabilitation or other similar law, or the consent by it to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of Maker or for any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the failure of Maker generally to pay its debts as such debts become due, or the taking of corporate action by Maker in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Involuntary Bankruptcy, Etc</u>. The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of Maker in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of Maker or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days.

**6. Remedies.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a) hereof, Payee may, by written notice to Maker, declare this Note to be due immediately and payable, whereupon the unpaid principal amount of this Note, and all other amounts payable hereunder, shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the documents evidencing the same to the contrary notwithstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Sections 5(b) and 5(c), the unpaid principal balance of this Note, and all other sums payable with regard to this Note, shall automatically and immediately become due and payable, in all cases without any action on the part of Payee.

**8. Unconditional Liability.** Maker hereby waives all notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of the payment of this Note, and agrees that its liability shall be unconditional, without regard to the liability of any other party, and shall not be affected in any manner by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification granted or consented to by Payee, and consents to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Payee with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and agrees that additional makers, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties may become parties hereto without notice to Maker or affecting Maker's liability hereunder.

**12. Trust Waiver**. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Payee hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind ("**Claim**") in or to any distribution of or from the trust account established for the benefit of the Maker's stockholders in which the proceeds of the Maker's initial public offering (the "**IPO**") (including the deferred underwriters discounts and commissions) and the proceeds of the sale of the warrants issued in a private placement which occurred concurrently with the closing of the IPO were deposited, as described in greater detail in the final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the IPO, and hereby agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction for any Claim against the trust account for any reason whatsoever.

**13. Amendment; Waiver**. Any amendment hereto or waiver of any provision hereof may be made with, and only with, the written consent of the Maker and the Payee.

**15. Conversion**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Note to the contrary, upon receiving
due notification by Maker of a DeSPAC Transaction, Payee is entitled to elect to convert the unpaid principal balance under this Note
into that number of unrestricted ordinary shares of the Maker and shall be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission once
a De SPAC Transaction is completed (the "**Conversion Shares** "), the total Conversion Shares so issued shall be equal
to: (x) the portion of the principal amount of this Note being converted pursuant to this Section 15, divided by (y) the Conversion Price,
as such term is defined below, rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares. The Conversion Shares and any other equity security of
Maker issued or issuable with respect to the foregoing by way of a share dividend or share split or in connection with a combination of
shares, recapitalization, amalgamation, consolidation or reorganization, shall be entitled to the registration rights set forth in Section
16 hereof.

In the event of conversion, the conversion price per share shall be at One Dollar ($1.00) per share, calculated as approximately one-tenth (1/10) of the Maker's Class A Ordinary Share's initial trading price on May 13, 2024 after Initial Public Offering (the "**Conversion Price**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Upon any complete or partial conversion of the principal amount of this Note, (i) such principal amount shall be so converted and such converted portion of this Note shall become fully paid and satisfied, (ii) Payee shall surrender and deliver this Note, duly endorsed, to Maker or such other address which Maker shall designate against delivery of the Conversion Shares, (iii) Maker shall promptly deliver a new duly executed Note to Payee in the principal amount that remains outstanding, if any, after any such conversion and (iv) in exchange for all or any portion of the surrendered Note, and simultaneous with the surrender of the Note, Maker shall, at the direction of Payee, deliver to Payee (or its members or their respective affiliates) (Payee, or such other persons, are known herein as the "**Holder**" or "**Holders**") the Conversion Shares, which shall bear such legends as are required in the opinion of legal counsel to Maker (or by any other agreement between Maker and Payee) and applicable state and federal securities laws, rules and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Holders shall pay any and all issue and other taxes that may be payable with respect to any issue or delivery of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note pursuant hereto; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Holders shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Holders in connection with any such conversion.

**16. Registration Rights**. The Holders shall be entitled to registration rights with respect to the Conversion Shares and will enter into a registration rights agreement with the post-DeSPAC company upon closing of the DeSPAC Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holders shall be entitled to similar registration rights as the holder sof the Maker's ordinary shares under that certain Registration Rights Agreement between the Maker and the parties thereto, dated as of 20<sup>th</sup> day of March, 2024.

[Signature page follows]

**IN WITNESS WHEREOF**, Maker, intending to be legally bound hereby, has caused this Note to be duly executed by the undersigned as of the day and year first above written.
