[SCHEDULE 13D/A] UNIVERSAL SAFETY PRODUCTS, INC. SEC Filing
Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D reports that JLA Realty Associates, LLC and Steven Caspi collectively beneficially own 227,400 shares of Universal Safety Products, Inc., representing 9.8% of the common stock. The filing adds that on September 25, 2025 SJC Lending, LLC (an entity wholly owned by Mr. Caspi) purchased a convertible promissory note with original principal $1,650,000 for $1,500,000, joining an earlier August purchase of a $1,100,000 note for $1,000,000. The SPA contemplates up to $2,750,000 principal for $2,500,000 total purchase price. Notes bear 8% interest (rising to 20% on specified defaults), convert into common stock at the greater of $1.00 or 80% of the 10-day VWAP (capped at $10.00), and contain a 4.99% ownership conversion limit. SJC Lending has a one-year right of first refusal on future offerings. The Reporting Persons state no other transactions since Amendment No. 1.
- Provided capital to the issuer through purchase of convertible notes totaling tranches of $1,100,000 and $1,650,000 (principal amounts)
- Right of first refusal (one year) may simplify future financings by offering a committed purchaser for new offerings
- Conversion ownership limit (4.99%) prevents single-party conversion from creating a large immediate ownership concentration
- Punitive default interest increases to 20% per annum on amounts exceeding $500,000 in default, raising potential issuer expense upon default
- Conversion mechanics (80% of 10-day VWAP with $1.00 floor and $10.00 cap) could still dilute existing shareholders depending on market price at conversion
- Reporting persons already hold 9.8% of common stock, a sizeable stake that may affect governance dynamics
Insights
TL;DR: Holder provides meaningful bridge financing via convertible notes with conversion mechanics that limit single-party ownership and include high default penalties.
The filing documents capital provided to Universal Safety Products through two convertible promissory notes totaling $2.75 million principal capacity under a $2.5 million purchase arrangement; two tranches purchased equal $2.75 million of potential principal with $2.5 million paid in aggregate price terms. The notes carry an 8% coupon and punitive 20% default rate for amounts above $500,000, which increases creditor protection but raises potential interest expense upon default. Conversion terms set a $1.00 floor and a mechanic at 80% of a 10-day VWAP (subject to a $10.00 cap) and prohibit conversions that would push conversion holder above 4.99% ownership, reducing immediate dilution risk to existing shareholders from a single converter.
TL;DR: Agreement grants lender ROFR and conversion limits that shape future capital raises and ownership dynamics for one year.
The Securities Purchase Agreement includes a one-year right of first refusal for SJC Lending on future equity or convertible offerings, which could influence the issuer's ability to solicit competing financings during that period. Conversion caps and ownership limits constrain a single counterparty's stake, but the ROFR may afford the reporting parties preferential access to future securities. These provisions are material to governance and dilution outcomes and should be monitored alongside any future amendments or financings.
