Item 2.03

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

On July 6, 2023, Investcorp Europe Acquisition Corp I (the “Company” or the “Borrower”) entered into a non-interest bearing unsecured loan (the “Loan”) in the principal amount of up to $1,700,000 from the Company’s sponsor, Europe Acquisition Holdings Limited, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, or an affiliate thereof (the “Sponsor”) to provide the Company with additional working capital and to fund monthly contributions into the trust account until the earlier of a completion of a business combination or December 17, 2023 (the “Extended Date”). The portion of the Loan used to provide the Company with additional working capital will not be deposited into the trust account.

The Loan bears no interest and shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Borrower consummates the transaction or (ii) the date of that the winding up of the Borrower is effective. If the Company does not consummate an initial business combination by the Extended Date, the Loan will be repaid only from funds held outside of the trust account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven. If at any time the Board of Directors determines that the Company will not be able to consummate an initial business combination by the Extended Date and that the Company shall instead liquidate, the Sponsor’s obligation to continue to make contributions shall cease immediately upon such determination.

A copy of the Loan is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The disclosure as set forth in this Item 2.03 is intended to be a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan.
