**Item 8.01. Other Events.**

As previously disclosed, Art Technology Acquisition Corp. (the "**Company**") consummated its initial public offering (the "**IPO**") of 22,000,000 units (the "**Units**") on January 7, 2026. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share ("**Class A Shares**"), and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant of the Company ("**Warrant**"), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Share for $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $220,000,000.

The underwriter of the Company's IPO provided notice of its election to fully exercise its over-allotment option, and the closing of the issuance and sale of the additional Units (the "**Over-Allotment Option Units**") occurred on January 26, 2026. The issuance by the Company of 3,300,000 Over-Allotment Option Units at a price of $10.00 per Over-allotment Option Unit resulted in total gross proceeds of $33,000,000 to the Company, all of which was added to the Company's U.S.-based trust account (the "**Trust Account**") maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.

As of January 26, 2026, the balance of the Trust Account was $253,000,000. Except for the withdrawal of interest earned on the funds to satisfy the Company's working capital requirements (subject to an annual limit of $400,000) and to pay taxes (or up to $100,000 for dissolution expenses if a business combination is not consummated), none of the funds held in the trust account will be released until the earlier of (i) the completion of the Company's initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of the Company's public shares if it is unable to complete its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO or 27 months from the closing of the IPO if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO but has not completed its initial business combination within such 24-month period (or by such earlier liquidation date as the Company's board of directors may approve), subject to applicable law, and (iii) the redemption of the Company's public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of the Company's public shares if it has not consummated an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO (or 27 months, as applicable) or with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders' rights or pre-initial business combination activity.

An unaudited balance sheet as of January 26, 2026, reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO, associated private placements, and the underwriter's full exercise of its over-allotment option, has been issued by the Company and is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

On January 26, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the underwriter's full exercise of its over-allotment option, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
