ECD Automotive Design, Inc. expanded its financing with its parent company through additional senior secured convertible notes. The parent investor purchased new notes with an original principal of $395,859.66 for $360,326.85, under a prior agreement allowing up to $21,972,275.38 in notes.
The additional notes mature on December 12, 2026 and carry a 9.99% beneficial ownership cap, limiting how much common stock the holder can own after conversion. At the floor conversion price of $0.0034 per share, the new notes would convert into 116,429,312 shares of common stock. The parent holder has also provided loans with aggregate outstanding principal of $12,844,574. The securities were issued in a private placement relying on Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D.
ECD Automotive Design, Inc. disclosed that an institutional investor, which is also its parent, exercised its right under a prior securities purchase agreement to buy additional senior secured convertible notes with an original principal amount of $2,663,770 for a purchase price of $2,424,667. Unless converted or redeemed, these notes mature on December 12, 2026 and include a 9.99% beneficial ownership cap, limiting how much common stock the holder can own after conversion.
If converted at the stated floor price of $0.0034 per share, the additional notes would be convertible into up to 783,461,765 shares of common stock. The company also reported that, following a merger, its public and private placement warrants were adjusted so that holders are entitled to receive $0.0176 for each share underlying a warrant, while the current exercise price is $2300 per share, meaning the warrants no longer have practical exercise value.
ECD Automotive Design approved a major restructuring that shifts full ownership to its controlling investor and cashes out remaining public shareholders. The company first exchanged 3,663 shares of Series C preferred stock for 207,008,547 new common shares at $0.0176 per share, a 55% premium to the March 11, 2026 closing price, giving Classic beneficial ownership of 91% of outstanding common stock.
Classic was then merged into ECD, and each remaining common share was converted into the right to receive $0.0176 in cash, subject to appraisal rights, giving Defender SPV LLC 100% ownership. ECD also reported additional senior secured convertible notes purchases that could convert, at a $0.0034 floor price, into 167,053,824 common shares, and named Victoria Hay as Chief Executive Officer while Scott Wallace became Chief Operating Officer with revised compensation terms. The company entered related-party vehicle build agreements with an entity controlled by Ms. Hay’s spouse.
ECD Automotive Design, Inc. reported that a special meeting of stockholders scheduled for January 12, 2026 was cancelled because a quorum was not achieved.
On the December 12, 2025 record date, 6,876,873 shares of common stock were entitled to vote, and the presence of holders of 2,292,291 shares, or one-third of the issued and outstanding common stock entitled to vote, was required for a quorum. That threshold was not met, so no business was conducted and no proposals were voted on at the special meeting.
ECD Automotive Design, Inc. reports that Nasdaq has decided to delist its common stock and warrants after the company failed to regain compliance with both the $1.00 minimum bid price rule and the $35 million market value of listed securities requirement. Trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market is scheduled to be suspended at the open of trading on January 16, 2026.
The company previously executed a 1-for-40 reverse stock split in September 2025, which temporarily restored compliance with the bid price rule, and arranged a $500 million equity line of credit, while a lender converted $13.7 million of debt into preferred equity and purchased an additional $1.1 million of preferred stock to address listing standards. Despite these steps, Nasdaq’s Hearings Panel determined that the company’s securities will be delisted, and the securities are expected to begin trading on the OTC Market as stated in the report.
ECD Automotive Design, Inc. reports that, starting on January 6, 2026, one of its lenders began discussions with the company about potential strategic transactions valued between $2 million and $10 million.

The company and the same lender are also considering a debt-to-preferred equity exchange valued between $2 million and $10 million to help improve the company’s shareholder equity position.
ECD Automotive Design, Inc. reported several corporate governance and leadership updates.

In addition, ECD Automotive Design disclosed that it signed an agreement to assume select vehicle builds from a regional 4x4 restoration and modification shop serving the southern New England market, as described in a press release furnished as an exhibit.

The company stated that this transition does not stem from any disagreement about its operations, policies, or practices.
In his new position, Mr. Humble will receive an annual salary of $195,000 and will be eligible for bonuses of up to $85,000 per year.

Each will receive base salary at an annual rate of $320,000 through the termination date and reimbursement of eligible business expenses, plus additional payments and benefits in exchange for releases and restrictive covenants.
