Key Terms

secured note, interest expense, promissory note, Current Report on Form 8-K

4 terms

secured note financial

"the Company’s approximately $7.0 million outstanding secured note on its Lago Vista"

A secured note is a loan-like obligation where the borrower pledges specific assets as a guarantee, so if they fail to pay, the lender can seize those assets to recover money owed. For investors, this matters because the pledged assets lower the risk of losing principal compared with unsecured debt, usually leading to clearer recovery prospects and often a different interest rate and priority in repayment if the borrower faces financial trouble.

interest expense financial

"step in RenX’s strategy to reduce interest expense, validate underlying legacy"

Interest expense is the cost a company pays for borrowing money, like rent on a loan or bond; it shows how much the company pays lenders over a period. Investors watch it because higher interest costs reduce reported profits and available cash, can signal heavier debt burden, and affect a company’s ability to invest or pay dividends — similar to how higher monthly rent leaves less money for other household needs.

promissory note financial

"the Company issued a $5.0 million promissory note to the lender which goes"

A promissory note is a written IOU in which one party promises to pay a specific sum, often with interest, to another party by a set date or on demand. Investors care because it functions like a loan: it creates a legal claim on future cash flows, carries credit and timing risk, and can affect valuation or liquidity—think of it as a formal, tradable promise to be repaid that can be assessed like any other debt investment.

Current Report on Form 8-K regulatory

"details regarding the transaction will be disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K"

A current report on Form 8-K is a document that publicly traded companies file to promptly share important news or events that could affect their financial position or stock price, such as major business changes or legal issues. It helps investors stay informed about timely developments, allowing them to make better decisions about buying or selling shares.

MIAMI, FL , Jan. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RenX Enterprises, Inc. (“RenX” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: RENX), formerly known as Safe and Green Development Corporation, today announced the restructuring of the Company’s approximately $7.0 million outstanding secured note on its Lago Vista, Texas property. Under the restructuring, in exchange for the transfer of title to the Lago Vista, Texas property to the Company’s lender, the lender agreed to conditionally extinguish $5.0 million of the secured note subject to the provisions of the agreement which provide, among other things, for the sale of the Lago Vista property by the lender. The transaction represents a meaningful step in RenX’s strategy to reduce interest expense, validate underlying legacy real estate asset value, and continue the Company’s transition toward an operating model centered on Resource Group.

In connection with the transaction, $2.0 million of the remaining balance of the note has been secured against the Company’s Durant, Oklahoma property, which RenX intends to actively market for sale during 2026. As an inducement to complete the restructuring, the Company has also pledged its ownership interest in Norman Berry II as alternative collateral for the loan.

The transaction is expected to reduce future interest expense by approximately $850,000 and meaningfully improve the Company’s overall debt profile. The restructuring documents provide that the Company will receive 70% of any net sale proceeds in excess of $5.0 million when the Lago Vista property is sold by the lender. In connection with the restructuring the Company issued a $5.0 million promissory note to the lender which goes into effect if the entire outstanding indebtedness owed to the lender is not paid within 24 months.     

“This transaction reflects disciplined execution against our balance sheet strategy,” said David Villarreal, Chief Executive Officer of RenX Enterprises. “By disposing of a legacy real estate asset, we reduced interest expense, simplified our capital structure, and strengthened our financial position. These actions directly support our ability to focus capital and management attention on growing Resource Group, while continuing to responsibly restructure and unlock value from our remaining real estate portfolio.”

Management noted that the transaction is aligned with RenX’s broader effort to transition away from a legacy real estate-heavy balance sheet toward a streamlined platform focused on operating performance and scalable growth through Resource Group. The Company continues to evaluate opportunities to monetize or restructure remaining real estate assets in a manner that enhances liquidity, reduces leverage, and supports long-term shareholder value. RenX believes that this transaction, together with continued execution at Resource Group, positions the Company for a more focused, operationally driven future with improved financial flexibility.

Additional details regarding the transaction will be disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
