Universal Safety Products (NYSE American: UUU) lines up $2.5 million SJC note financing

What happened

Universal Safety Products, Inc. (NYSE American: UUU) entered an amended and restated securities purchase agreement with SJC Lending LLC on October 9, 2026. The company agreed to sell convertible promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.65 million for up to $2.5 million in cash. The initial tranche closed on June 12, 2026, and the second tranche closed on July 29, 2026.

The first note had a principal face amount of $1.06 million and a 6% original issue discount, while the second carried $530,000 for $500,000. The final tranche calls for a $1.06 million note and a $1 million purchase price within 30 days after the SEC declares the resale registration statement effective.

Why it matters

SJC has already furnished $1.5 million, which is 60% of the $2.5 million maximum investment. That gives Universal Safety a funding bridge, but the filing still leaves the final tranche dependent on SEC effectiveness and, for shares above 19.99%, stockholder approval. The notes mature on the first anniversary of issuance and accrue interest at 8% a year, rising to 20% after an event of default.

Conversion can start only after NYSE American approval of the supplemental listing application, and the price is tied to the greater of $1.00 or 80% of recent VWAP. The agreement also blocks a variable-rate transaction while the notes remain outstanding or for one year after. SJC also gets a right of first refusal during that year for future equity or convertible debt offerings.

OptimistFi's case is that UUU still needs operating proof on smoke-alarm channel access, and this filing does not supply it. It does add financing, which can support the turnaround if later approvals and closings arrive.

What's next

Within 30 days after the SEC declares the registration statement effective, SJC must complete the third and final tranche. Universal Safety said it is seeking a new stockholder approval because this amended agreement came after the July 31, 2026 vote. If those approvals arrive, the company can finish the $1 million closing and keep the additional-investment right in place. If they do not, the financing stays at the two tranches already issued and the case still turns on operating proof.
