3. Section 2.4 of the Corporation's Second Amended and Restated Bylaws is hereby amended by replacing the original paragraph with the following paragraph:

Section 2.4. Quorum.

## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**ECD Automotive Design Announces Agreement to Increase Factory Utilization and Drive Fixed-Cost Absorption**

***The Agreement Integrates Production from a Regional 4**×**4 Restoration Shop Into ECD**'**s Facility, With ECD Allocating a Minimum of Ten Percent of Its Annual Production Capacity to the Program***

KISSIMMEE, Fla., Dec. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ECD Automotive Design, Inc. ("ECD" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ECDA), the world's largest Land Rover and Jaguar restoration company known for its custom luxury builds, including bespoke Defenders, Range Rovers, Jaguar E-Types, Ford Mustangs, and Toyota FJs, today announced that it has signed an agreement to assume select builds from a regional 4x4 restoration and modification shop servicing the southern New England market.

CEO Scott Wallace commented, "Since going public, one of ECD's primary objectives has been to fill our factory, which is a key driver on our path to achieving cash-flow breakeven. We believe ECD operates one of the most advanced facilities in the United States, backed by a deeply skilled team of artisan mechanics, upholsters and painters that produces high-end restomods across a wide variety of models. Working with regional builders that address unique pockets of demand but don't necessarily have the capacity to fulfill the orders is a win-win for both parties. We're able to absorb incremental volume efficiently with our existing infrastructure, and they gain access to the craftsmanship, capacity, and reliability that ECD is known for."

CFO Victoria Hay added, "This agreement is another meaningful step in improving our cost structure, enabling us to deploy our skilled workforce more efficiently, smooth production planning, and strengthen unit economics. By committing at least ten percent of our production capacity to this collaboration, we expect to add a minimum of twenty units per year to our backlog. We anticipate the agreement to have a positive contribution margin, supporting stronger overhead absorption across the business."

**About ECD Auto Design**

ECD, a public company trading under ECDA on the Nasdaq, is a creator of restored luxury vehicles that combines classic English beauty with modern performance. Currently, ECD restores Land Rover Defenders, Land Rover Series IIA, the Range Rover Classic, the Jaguar E-Type and we have recently added Ford Mustang and Toyota FJ.

ECD's global headquarters, known as the "Rover Dome," is a 100,000-square-foot facility located in Kissimmee, Florida that is home to 98 staff with 67 talented craftsmen and technicians, who hold a combined 66 ASE and three master level certifications.
