Item 8.01. Other Events
On August 5, 2026, ARC Group Securities Acquisition I (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 10,500,000 units (the “Units”), at a price of $10.00 per Unit, for total gross proceeds of $105,000,000. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), one right entitling the holder to receive one-fourth (1/4th) of one Class A Ordinary Share upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination (each, a “Right”) and one redeemable warrant (the “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The underwriters have a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,575,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Private Units Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 140,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $1,400,000 (the “Private Placement”). The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO, except that, for so long as the Private Placement Units are held by the Sponsor or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Units (i) may not (including the securities underlying the Private Placement Units), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, and (ii) are entitled to registration rights. The material terms of the Private Placement Units are fully described in the Prospectus and are incorporated herein by reference. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to the sale of the Private Placement Units. The issuance of the Private Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
As of August 5, 2026, a total of $106,400,000 of the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Efficiency, INC., acting as trustee. After distribution of $545,453.36 IPO expenses (including $360,453 due to sponsor promissory note) and $854,546.64 working capital of the Company, net proceeds of $105,000,000 will remain in trust account.
An audited balance sheet as of August 5, 2026 reflecting receipt of the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units has been issued by the Company and is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
