## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**ECD Automotive Design Announces 1-for-40 Reverse Stock Split**

KISSIMMEE, Fla., September 12, 2025-- ECD Automotive Design, Inc. (NASDAQ: ECDA), the ("ECD" or the "Company"), 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, announced that it will implement a 1-for-40 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock ("Reverse Stock Split"), effective at market opening time on September 18, 2025. ECD common stock will remain on the Nasdaq Capital Market and begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on September 18, 2025, when the markets open, under the Company's existing trading symbol "ECDA," with the new CUSIP number 27877D104.

The Reverse Stock Split was previously approved by stockholders at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders held on July 22, 2025, with the final ratio determined by the Company's Board of Directors. The Reverse Stock Split is intended to increase the per share trading price of ECD's common stock to satisfy the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (Rule 550(a)(1)).

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every forty pre-split shares of common stock outstanding will automatically be reclassified and combined into one share of common stock. This will reduce the number of outstanding shares of ECD's common stock from approximately 59,091,136 shares to approximately 1,477,278 shares. The Reverse Stock Split will not change the number of authorized shares of the company's common stock or the par value of the common stock. Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the company's outstanding stock options and restricted stock units, as well as the applicable exercise price of the stock options.

Shareholders holding their shares electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive the post-split shares. Shareholders who hold certificated shares will receive instructions from Continental Stock Transfer and Trust, the Company's transfer agent who is acting as the exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share will instead have their fractional share rounded up to the nearest whole share.

Additional information regarding the Reverse Stock Split can be found in the Proxy Statement filed with the SEC.
