$7.0M cash in via note; SOFR then 8% with fee trigger

Cemtrex secured liquidity by issuing a note with $7,025,000 principal and net proceeds of $7,000,000. The structure features SOFR-based interest through December 31, 2025, then a fixed 8% from January 1, 2026. A one-time $1,050,000 fee applies if still outstanding on that date.
