Universal Safety Products sets $1 special dividend

Universal Safety Products, Inc. declared a one-time special cash dividend of $1.00 per share on its common stock.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Universal Safety Products, Inc. declared a one-time special cash dividend of $1.00 per share on its common stock. The dividend will be paid on September 25, 2025 to shareholders of record as of September 18, 2025.

Because this special dividend exceeds 20% of the company’s share price, the NYSE American will use a due bill process. From September 18 through the close of trading on September 25, 2025, anyone who sells shares also sells the right to receive the dividend, and buyers during this period obtain that right. The company notes that due bill obligations are handled between brokers and encourages shareholders to consult their brokers to understand how this trading period affects their dividend entitlement.

Positive

• One-time special dividend of $1.00 per share represents more than 20% of the company’s share price, signaling a significant immediate cash return to common shareholders.

Negative

• None.

Insights

Equity & Corporate Actions Analyst

Universal Safety Products is returning a sizable one-time cash dividend with special trading mechanics around the record date.

The company declared a one-time special cash dividend of $1.00 per share on its common stock. The NYSE American indicated that this payment is more than 20% of the company’s share price, which is large enough to trigger special handling. A cash return of this size can materially affect shareholders’ total return because it directly distributes cash rather than relying only on price appreciation.

Due to the size of the special dividend, the stock will trade with due bills from September 18, 2025 through the close on September 25, 2025. During this period, anyone selling shares also transfers the right to the dividend to the buyer, and brokers handle the related settlements. Shareholders’ actual experience will depend on whether they hold or trade during this window, and subsequent company filings may provide additional context on capital allocation after this cash distribution.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On September 2, 2025, Universal Safety Products, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing a one-time special cash dividend to holders of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) of $1.00 per share (the “Special Dividend”). The record date for the dividend is September 18. 2025, and the payment date is September 25, 2025. A copy of the Press Release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

As provided in the Press Release, because the payment of the Special Dividend represents more than 20% of the price of the Company’s Common Stock, the NYSE American has advised the Company that its Common Stock will trade with “due bills” representing an assignment of the right to receive the Special Dividend from the record date of September 18, 2025 through the closing of trading on the NYSE American on September 25, 2025, which is the payment date and the last day of trading before the September 26, 2025 ex-dividend date (this period of time representing the “Dividend Right Period”). Stockholders who sell their Common Stock during the Dividend Right Period (September 18, 2025 through September 25, 2025) will be selling their right to the Special Dividend, and such stockholders will not be entitled to receive the Special Dividend on September 25, 2025. Due bills obligate a seller of Common Stock to deliver the Special Dividend payable on such Common Stock to the buyer (the “Dividend Right”). The Special Dividend record date of September 18, 2025 will be used as the date for establishing the due bill tracking of the Dividend Right to the holder of Common Stock. Due bill obligations are customarily settled between the brokers representing the buyers and the sellers of shares. The Company has no obligation for either the amount of the due bill or the processing of the due bill. Buyers and sellers of the Company’s Common Stock should consult their brokers before trading to be sure they understand the effect of the NYSE American’s due bill procedures.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information under this item shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing. This report will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information required to be disclosed solely to satisfy the requirements of Regulation FD.
