Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Universal Safety Products, Inc. (UUU) amended and restated its securities purchase agreement with SJC Lending LLC, agreeing to sell convertible notes with aggregate principal of up to $2,650,000 for a purchase price of up to $2.5 million. The first two closings issued notes with $1,060,000 and $530,000 principal, for purchase prices of $1,000,000 and $500,000, respectively.

The final note has $1,060,000 principal and a $1,000,000 purchase price; SJC must buy it within 30 days after the SEC declares effective a resale registration statement covering conversion shares. By the three-month anniversary of that closing, SJC may invest another $2,650,000 in note principal for $2.5 million cash. If exercised, the additional investment right renews on the same terms until SJC has purchased an aggregate $10,600,000 of notes or elects not to exercise.

Notes mature one year after issuance and accrue 8% annual interest, or 20% upon default. After NYSE American approves the Supplemental Listing Application, conversion uses the greater of $1.00 or 80% of the lowest VWAP during the prior five trading days, capped at $10.00 per share. Issuance above 19.99% of shares outstanding on June 12, 2026 requires stockholder approval; UUU is seeking new approval for the amended terms.

Filing Explained

The agreement restricts alternative financing and gives SJC first refusal over future equity offerings.

On October 9, 2026, Universal Safety Products entered an amended and restated agreement with SJC Lending; it bars variable-rate transactions for a defined period and gives SJC a right of first refusal on future equity offerings.

The variable-rate ban runs from June 12, 2026 until the notes are no longer outstanding or one year after that date, whichever comes first.

SJC’s first-refusal right covers future public or private equity offerings, including debt convertible into equity, from June 12, 2026 until one year after that date.

original issue discount financial
"issued with an original issue discount of six percent (6%)"
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.
VWAP financial
"80% of the lowest VWAP during the five trading days"
VWAP, or Volume-Weighted Average Price, is a way to find the average price of a stock throughout the trading day, giving more importance to times when more shares are traded. It helps traders see the typical price and decide whether a stock is expensive or cheap compared to its average, similar to finding the average speed during a trip by giving more weight to times when you traveled faster or slower.
Supplemental Listing Application regulatory
"after NYSE American approval of the Supplemental Listing Application"
A supplemental listing application is a request filed with a stock exchange or regulator to add additional securities or a new class of securities that relate to an already listed company—for example extra shares issued after a rights offer, a share consolidation, or a new series of bonds. Investors care because it changes how many tradable instruments exist and who can trade them, which can affect supply, ownership percentages and market liquidity much like adding more seats to a concert changes ticket availability and prices.
variable rate transaction financial
"prohibited from entering into a variable rate transaction"
right of first refusal financial
"SJC shall have a right of first refusal with respect to any investment"
A right of first refusal gives an existing shareholder or party the chance to buy an asset or shares before the owner can sell them to someone else. Think of it like being offered the first option to buy a house when the owner decides to sell; it matters to investors because it can limit who can acquire a stake, slow or block transactions, and affect the price and liquidity of an investment by restricting open-market sales or new buyers.

Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 9, 2026, Universal Safety Products, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) entered into an amended and restated Securities Purchase Agreement (the “A&R Agreement”) with SJC Lending LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SJC”). The A&R Agreement amends and restates the Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company and SJC (the “Original Agreement”) that was entered into on June 12, 2026 (the “Initial Closing Date”). Pursuant to the A&R Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to SJC convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $2,650,000 (the “Convertible Notes”) for a total purchase price of up to $2.5 million dollars (the “Loan”).

 

The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the A&R Agreement, specifically the conversion of the Convertible Notes in an aggregate number in excess of 19.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) on the Initial Closing Date, are subject to various customary closing conditions as well as regulatory and Stockholder Approval (as hereinafter defined).

 

The material terms of the A&R Agreement and the Convertible Notes are summarized below.

 

Description of the A&R Agreement

 

The A&R Agreement provides that the Loan shall be conducted through three (3) separate tranche closings, provided, however, that SJC has the ability, exercisable in its sole discretion, to purchase any principal face amount of Convertible Notes prior to the dates of the tranche closings provided for in the A&R Agreement. Pursuant to the A&R Agreement, the initial tranche closing, which occurred on the Initial Closing Date, consisted of the issuance of a Convertible Note to SJC in the principal face amount of $1,060,000, for a purchase price of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and the second tranche closing, which occurred on July 29, 2026, consisted of the issuance of a Convertible Note to SJC in the principal face amount of $530,000, for a purchase price of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000).

 

Pursuant to the A&R Agreement, within thirty (30) days after the SEC declares a registration statement registering for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) the shares of Comon Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, SJC shall be required to complete the third and final tranche by purchasing a Convertible Note in the principal face amount of $1,060,000, for a purchase price of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Final Closing”).

 

Pursuant to the A&R Agreement, at any time on or prior to the three month anniversary of the Final Closing, SJC shall have the right to purchase an additional $2,650,000 of convertible promissory notes from the Company for $2.5 million in cash, on the same terms and conditions as contained in the A&R Agreement and the other transaction documents (the “Additional Investment Right”). If SJC exercises its Additional Investment Right granted under the A&R Agreement, the new documents shall also contain an additional investment right on the same terms and conditions as contained in the A&R Agreement, until the earlier of (i) such time as SJC has purchased an aggregate of $10,600,000 of convertible promissory notes issued by the Company or (ii) SJC elects not to exercise its Additional Investment Right.

 

Additionally, commencing on the Initial Closing Date and continuing until the earlier of (i) such date when the Convertible Notes are no longer outstanding or (ii) one (1) year thereafter, the Company shall be prohibited from entering into a variable rate transaction.

 

From the Initial Closing Date and continuing until the date that is one (1) year therefrom, SJC shall have a right of first refusal with respect to any investment proposed to be made by any individual or entity for each and every future public or private equity offering, including a debt instrument convertible into equity of the Company during such period.

 

The A&R Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, obligations of the parties, termination provisions and closing conditions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the A&R Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

 

Description of Convertible Notes

 

The first Convertible Note, which was issued to SJC on the Initial Closing Date, has a principal face amount of $1,060,000 and was issued with an original issue discount of six percent (6%). The second Convertible Note, which was issued to SJC on July 29, 2026, has a principal face amount of $530,000 and was issued with an original issue discount of six percent (6%). The third and final Convertible Note will be issued as described above under “Description of the A&R Agreement”. The Convertible Notes accrue interest at the rate of 8% per annum, unless an event of default (as defined in the Convertible Notes) occurs, at which time the Convertible Notes would accrue interest at 20% per annum. The Convertible Notes will mature on the first anniversary of issuance. The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock at any time after NYSE American approval of the Supplemental Listing Application (the “SLAP”) at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) equal to the greater of (i) $1.00 (the “Floor Price”), which Floor Price shall not be adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations and other similar transactions and (ii) 80% of the lowest VWAP (as defined in the Convertible Notes) of the Common Stock during the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion into shares of Common Stock, but not greater than $10.00 per share.

The Company may not issue Conversion Shares to the extent such issuances would result in an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock exceeding 19.99% of the total shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Initial Closing Date, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NYSE American (the “Exchange”) unless the Company first obtains stockholder approval (the “Stockholder Approval”). Although the Company obtained stockholder approval related to Convertible Notes issued or issuable pursuant to the Original Agreement at a special stockholder meeting held on July 31, 2026, since the Company and SJC entered into the A&R Agreement subsequent to the stockholder approval, the Company agreed are seeking a new Stockholder Approval of the terms of the A&R Agreement.

 

The Convertible Notes contain standard and customary events of default including, but not limited to, failure to pay amounts due under the Convertible Notes when required, failure to deliver Conversion Shares when required, default in covenants and bankruptcy events.
