NEW

YORK, May 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ARC Group Acquisition I Corp (NASDAQ: ARCL) (the “Company”) announced today that,

commencing May 28, 2026, holders of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering of 12,075,000 units (the “Units”)

may commence separate trading of the underlying component securities. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per

ordinary share (the “Ordinary Share”), one redeemable warrant (the “Warrant”) and one right to receive one-fourth

(1/4) of one Ordinary Share upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination (the “Right”). Those

units not separated will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “ARCLU.”

The

Ordinary Shares, the Warrants and the Rights that are separated will trade on Nasdaq under the symbols “ARCL,” “ARCLW”

and acted as the representative of the underwriters of the offering. A registration statement on Form S-1 relating to these securities

(File Number 333-288410) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2026. Copies of the registration
