Item 8.01 Other Events.

On October 24, 2025, Harvard Ave Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 14,500,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share (each, a “Class A Ordinary Share”), and one right (each, a “Right”), each Right entitling the holder thereof to exchange for one-tenth of one Class A Ordinary Share upon the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $145,000,000.

Substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed (1) the private sale of 273,947 units (the “Private Units”), and 764,892 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Private Shares” and together with the Private Units, the “Private Securities”) to Copley Square LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (“Copley Square”), and (2) the private sale of 66,017 Private Units and 255,000 Class A Ordinary Shares to Northlake Partners Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (“Northlake Partners” and together with Copley Square, the “Sponsors”). Each Private Unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Share and one Right. The Private Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO, subject to limited exceptions as further described in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-284826) declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 30, 2025. The Private Securities were sold for an aggregate purchase price of $3,399,640.

A total of $145,000,000, from the proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Securities (net of transaction expenses and working capital) were placed in the Company’s trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and the underwriters of the IPO with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.

An audited balance sheet as of October 24, 2025, reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the sale of Private Securities has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
