Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 22, 2025, Focus Universal Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., as sales agent (the “Agent”), to sell shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $3,547,506 (the “Shares”) from time to time through an “at the market offering” (the “ATM Offering”) as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The offer and sale of the Shares will be made pursuant to the Company’s effective “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 and an accompanying base prospectus contained therein (File No. 333-284048) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 26, 2024, amended on January 6, 2025 and declared effective by the SEC on January 8, 2025. On September 22, 2025, the Company filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC relating to the offer and sale of up to $3,547,506 of Common Stock in the ATM Offering.

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy the Shares, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of the Shares in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to sell the Shares, based upon the Company’s instructions, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations. Under the Sales Agreement, the Agent may sell the Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act. Under the Sales Agreement, Ladenburg will also be able to sell shares of Common Stock by any other method permitted by law, including in negotiated transactions with the Company’s prior written consent. The Company or the Agent may, upon notice to the other party in accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement, suspend the offering of the Shares for any reason and at any time.

The Company has agreed to pay the Agent a commission for its services in acting as agent in the sale of the Shares in the amount of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement. The Company has also agreed to provide the Agent with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The Company has also agreed to reimburse Ladenburg for certain specified expenses, including the expenses of counsel to Ladenburg.

The foregoing description of the material terms of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full Sales Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The legal opinion of Corporate Securities Legal LLP, counsel to the Company, relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Shares is filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1.
