CHAR · Charlton Aria Acquisition Corporation

The filing details two promissory notes issued by Charlton Aria Acquisition Corporation to its sponsor, ST Sponsor II Limited. The Extension Note for $850,000 was issued on April 23, 2026, to fund a three-month extension of the deadline to complete an initial business combination, moving the deadline from April 25, 2026, to July 25, 2026. The Working Capital Note for up to $500,000 was issued on April 17, 2026, to evidence prior working capital advances of approximately $263,681.50 and allow for additional loans. Both notes are unsecured, non-interest bearing (except default interest), and payable upon the earlier of a business combination or liquidation. They are convertible into units at $10.00 per unit, with conversion limited to $3,000,000 in aggregate. The sponsor has also deposited $850,000 into the trust account to effect the extension. These actions provide the company with additional time and working capital to pursue a business combination, but also increase the company's indebtedness and potential dilution for existing shareholders if conversion occurs.
