The new name reflects where the Company's business is headed; tokenization, digital assets, quantitative trading and blockchain-based financial markets. As these new initiatives gain traction, the Company anticipates discontinuing the legacy business of designing and marketing a variety of safety products.

Along with the name change, the Company expects its common stock to begin trading on the NYSE American under the ticker symbol "DCM" on October 19, 2026. No action is required by existing stockholders with respect to the ticker symbol change. The Company's common stock CUSIP will remain unchanged.

Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Universal DeFi LLC ("Universal DeFi"), the Company has spent over a year building technology that allows companies and asset owners around the world to tokenize real-world and financial assets, so they can be issued, held and, where permitted, traded on blockchain infrastructure. Universal DeFi's platform, which is currently accessible by invitation-only, has completed its first project, the tokenization of silver. In addition, Universal DeFi is currently making markets in three cryptocurrencies for itself in a proprietary account.

Management views tokenization as one of the largest long-term opportunities in global capital markets, which is already rapidly expanding. Recently, data analytics platform Dune reported that tokenized real-world assets have surpassed $34 billion. Citigroup has forecasted that tokenized assets by 2030 would range between $2.7 trillion (bear case) to $8.2 trillion (bull case), with a base case of $5.5 trillion.

DeFi Capital Markets intends to take part in that growth through several offerings. It will provide tokenization technology to issuers and asset owners, allowing them to tokenize their own real-world assets. It will own and invest its own capital in digital and tokenized assets. Finally, it expects to provide liquidity through proprietary quantitative trading and market making.

That last piece is central to the Company's strategy. Universal DeFi is building a proprietary market-making and quantitative trading operation that runs on its own capital, technology, algorithms and internal resources, and it plans to make markets in selected digital assets and tokenized markets where doing so is legally permitted and economically attractive.

The goal over time is an asset-rich capital markets platform that combines proprietary investments and asset ownership with trading, market making, tokenization technology and blockchain infrastructure. Rather than serve only as a technology provider, the Company intends to be a direct participant in the markets it helps create. Management believes that pairing of technology, capital, asset ownership and liquidity provision can set DeFi Capital Markets apart as tokenization and decentralized finance continues to mature around the world.

The Company will provide further updates on the continued growth of its tokenization, proprietary trading and digital asset initiatives.
