Securities Purchase Agreement financial
"ReTo Eco-Solutions, Inc. entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an institutional investor"
A securities purchase agreement is a written contract between a buyer and a seller outlining the terms for buying or selling financial assets such as stocks or bonds. It specifies details like the price, quantity, and conditions of the transaction, similar to a shopping list with agreed-upon terms. For investors, it provides clarity and legal protection when transferring ownership of these financial instruments.
original issue discount financial
"Each Pre-Paid Purchase will increase the outstanding balance by 106% of the cash amount funded, reflecting a 6% original issue discount"
Original issue discount (OID) is the difference between a debt security’s face value and the lower price at which it is first sold, treated as additional interest that accrues over the life of the instrument. For investors it matters because OID raises the effective yield and changes taxable income and the holding’s cost basis over time — think of buying a $100 voucher for $90 and recognizing the $10 gain as earned interest as the voucher approaches maturity.
Commitment Period financial
"pre-paid purchases with an aggregate cash amount of up to $36,000,000 over a two-year commitment period"
shelf registration statement regulatory
"The Class A Shares will be issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form F-3"
A shelf registration statement is a document a company files with regulators that allows it to sell shares or bonds quickly when it’s a good time to raise money. It’s like having a pre-approved plan ready so the company can act fast without going through lengthy paperwork each time they want to sell, making fundraising more flexible.
prospectus supplement regulatory
"the Company is filing a prospectus supplement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission"
A prospectus supplement is an additional document provided alongside a company's main offering details, offering updated or extra information about a specific financial product being sold. It helps investors understand the latest terms, risks, and details of the investment, similar to how an update or revision clarifies or expands on original instructions, ensuring they have current and complete information before making a decision.
reasonable best efforts basis financial

Securities Purchase Agreement and Pre-Paid Purchase

 

On August 7, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), ReTo Eco-Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with an institutional investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company may request pre-paid purchases with an aggregate cash amount of up to $36,000,000 (the “Commitment Amount”) from the Investor (each, a “Pre-Paid Purchase”) over a two-year commitment period (the “Commitment Period”), subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SPA. Each Pre-Paid Purchase will increase the outstanding balance by 106% of the cash amount funded by the Investor, reflecting a 6% original issue discount, resulting in a maximum aggregate outstanding balance of $38,160,000. An initial Pre-Paid Purchase in the amount of $3,498,000 (consisting of $3,300,000 in cash and a $198,000 original issue discount) was funded on the Effective Date (the “Outstanding Pre-Paid Purchase”). Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of any Pre-Paid Purchase at an annual rate of 7%, subject to an increase to 18% upon events of default described in the SPA. On or before the maturity date, which is two (2) years after the Effective Date (the “Maturity Date”), the Company is required to settle the entire outstanding balance through the issuance of Class A Shares and/or make a cash prepayment at 120% of the outstanding balance being repaid.

 

At any time that there is an outstanding balance under any Outstanding Pre-Paid Purchase, the Company may provide written notice (each, a “Settlement Notice”) electing to issue and sell shares of the Company’s Class A Shares with no par value (the “Class A Shares”) (the “Purchase Shares”) to the Investor, which shall be offset against and reduce the amounts outstanding under the Outstanding Pre-Paid Purchase, at a price per share (the “Purchase Share Purchase Price”) equal to the lower of (a) 50% of the closing price of the Class A Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the Effective Date and (b) 50% of the lowest closing price of the Class A Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market during the one hundred and eighty (180) trading days immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides the Settlement Notice to Maple, in each case rounded down to the nearest two (2) decimal places; provided that in no event shall the Purchase Share Purchase Price be less than $0.10 per share (the “Floor Price”). The Company shall, in each Settlement Notice, select the number of Purchase Shares to be issued, in its sole discretion, provided that the aggregate price for such shares may not exceed the balance outstanding under the Pre-Paid Purchase or exceed other specified limits in the SPA. Amounts offset by the issuance of the Purchase Shares shall be applied first toward accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and then toward outstanding principal under the Pre-Paid Purchase.

 

The Class A Shares will be issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-297016). Concurrently with the filing of this Current Report on Form 6-K, the Company is filing a prospectus supplement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the offer and sale of the Class A Shares.

 

The Company entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) dated as of August 7, 2026, with Univest Securities, LLC (the “Placement Agent”). Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company engaged the Placement Agent to act as the Company’s placement agent in connection with the offering on a reasonable best efforts basis. Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to five percent (5.0%) of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the offering, and a non-accountable expense reimbursement and out-of-pocket expenses, including legal counsel fees and disbursements, in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of $50,000.
