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

On June 17, 2026, Stellar V Capital Corp. (the “Company”) issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) in an amount of $200,000 to Nautilus Energy Management Corp. (“Nautilus”), a company registered in the Marshall Islands and controlled by Prokopios (Akis) Tsirigakis and Georgios (George) Syllantavos, the Company’s Co-Chief Executive Officers. The Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the consummation of the Company’s business combination. It is convertible at the Nautilus’ election upon the consummation of the Company’s business combination. Upon such election, the Note 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.

The Note is filed as Exhibit 10.1.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

The information set forth in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

The warrants constituting a part of the units are exercisable, subject to the terms and conditions of the warrants, for Class A ordinary shares as provided in the warrant agreement governing the warrants. The Company has relied upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in connection with the issuance and sale of the Note, as it was issued to sophisticated investors without a view to distribution, and was not issued through any general solicitation or advertisement.
