| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. The conversion price of the reported security is variable and is determined in accordance with the terms of the instrument at the time of conversion. The conversion price presented herein reflects the price that would be applicable as of the date of the event requiring this statement and is based on current information and reasonable assumptions and may differ from the actual conversion price at the time of conversion, as applicable. Accordingly, the number of shares reported herein has been calculated based on such conversion price and reflects the number of shares that would be issuable upon conversion, if any. |
| 2. The Reporting Persons currently beneficially own all outstanding shares of Common Stock of Senior Secured Convertible Note of ECD Automotive Design, Inc. (the "Issuer"). The derivative securities reported herein are subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation, which prohibits conversion or exercise to the extent that, after giving effect thereto, the Reporting Persons, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock. |
| 3. Represents the maturity date. |
| 4. The Senior Secured Convertible Note of the Issuer reported herein is held by Defender SPV LLC (the "Holding Company").

Antonio Ruiz-Gimenez and Kerry Propper are the control persons of the Manager (all of the foregoing, collectively, the "Reporting Persons," and each a "Reporting Person").

| 5. For purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein, if any, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that any such Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of these securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose. |
