Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Universal Safety Products, Inc. reported the results of a special stockholder meeting that was adjourned twice and reconvened on December 16, 2025. Stockholders rejected four proposed amendments to the company’s charter, including plans to increase authorized common stock from 20,000,000 to 220,000,000, authorize 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, create 20,000,000 shares of class B common stock, and eliminate super-majority voting requirements.

As of September 17, 2025, 2,312,887 shares of common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, and the disclosed vote totals show that none of the proposals obtained the required level of approval.

Insights

Stockholders declined major charter changes affecting share authorization and voting rules.

Universal Safety Products sought approval for four amendments to its charter. These would have increased authorized common stock from 20,000,000 to 220,000,000, authorized 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock with board-designated terms, created 20,000,000 shares of class B common stock, and eliminated existing super-majority voting requirements.

The company states that stockholders rejected all four proposals at the adjourned special meeting held on December 16, 2025. As a result, these additional authorizations and governance changes are not in effect, and any similar future changes would again require stockholder approval in a subsequent vote.

The voting results show significant but insufficient support relative to the required thresholds. For example, the authorized share increase proposal received 1,310,421 votes for, 187,354 against, and 11,306 abstentions, while 2,312,887 shares of common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote as of September 17, 2025.
