On December 19, 2025, American Drive Acquisition Company (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 23,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares), and one-third of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each warrant, a “Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary 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 $230,000,000.

On December 19, 2025, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 4,000,000 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to Petit Monts LLC, the Company’s sponsor (the “Sponsor”) and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $6,000,000.

A total of $230,000,000 out of the proceeds from the IPO and the sales of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.

An audited balance sheet as of December 19, 2025 reflecting the receipt of the proceeds upon the consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
