UNIVERSAL SECURITY INSTRUMENTS INC

The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Universal Security Instruments, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on November 7, 2024, or at any adjournments or postponements thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of the meeting. The Board has fixed the close of business on September 9, 2024 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the meeting. On that date, there were outstanding 2,312,887 shares of the Company’s Common Stock par value $.01 per share (the “Shares”).

Pursuant to the e-proxy rules and regulations adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet. On or about September 13, 2024, we will mail to our shareholders a notice (the “E-Proxy Notice”) containing instructions on how to access online our 2024 Proxy Statement, and Annual Report to Shareholders. If you would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting proxy materials included in the E-Proxy Notice. These materials will be available free of charge and will be sent to you within three business days of your request. Our Annual Report to Shareholders does not constitute a part of the proxy solicitation material, but provides you with additional information about the Company.

Each record holder of Shares on the Record Date is entitled to one vote for each Share held on all matters to come before the meeting, including the election of directors. Because most of our shareholders cannot attend the Annual Meeting in person, it is necessary for a large number to be represented by proxy. Shareholders may vote by completing a proxy card and mailing it to us at our address above. Please check the information forwarded by your bank, broker or other holder of record to see what options are available to you. A proxy may be revoked at any time before its exercise by the filing of a written revocation with James B. Huff, Corporate Secretary of the Company, by timely providing a later-dated proxy, or by voting by ballot at the Annual Meeting. Mere attendance at the Annual Meeting will not revoke a proxy, and if you are a beneficial owner of shares not registered in your own name, you will need additional documentation from your record holder to vote personally at the Annual Meeting.

A quorum for the Annual Meeting consists of a majority of the issued and outstanding Shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote. Under Maryland law, unless a corporation’s charter or bylaws provide otherwise, directors are elected by a plurality of all votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present, and for all other matters (except for certain extraordinary matters for which Maryland law requires a higher proportion) a majority of the all of the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present is sufficient for approval. The Company’s Bylaws provide that the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all of the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present is necessary for the election of directors or for the taking or authorization of any action by the shareholders.
