Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. Amended and Restated Working Capital Note On January 26, 2026, Blue Water Acquisition Corp. III (the “Company”) issued a convertible unsecured promissory note (the “Prior Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000.00 to Yorkville BW Acquisition Sponsor, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), in order to provide the Company with additional working capital, as previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 27, 2026. On August 11, 2026, the Sponsor advanced an additional $250,000 to the Company for additional working capital purposes. Also on August 11, 2026, in order to document such additional advance, the Company issued an amended and restated convertible unsecured promissory note (the “Amended and Restated Working Capital Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $750,000.00 to the Sponsor, which amends, restates, supersedes and replaces the Prior Note in its entirety. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Working Capital Note, the principal balance shall not accrue interest; shall be payable by the Company on the earlier of the date on which the Company consummates its initial business combination or the date that the winding up of the Company is effective; and is convertible at the Sponsor’s election upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. Should the Sponsor elect to convert all or a portion of the principal balance, the elected principal balance amount will convert, at a price of $10.00 per unit, into units identical to the private placement units issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (each, a “New Unit”), rounded down to the nearest whole number. The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Working Capital Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Working Capital Note, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and which is incorporated herein by reference.
