Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 25, 2025, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Constantinople Limited and Chen Zhiqiang (collectively the "Investors" and each individually, an "Investor"), whereby the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to issue to the Investors, and the Investors shall have the obligation to subscribe for, Ordinary Shares for an aggregate subscription amount of up to $32,625,000 (the “Commitment Amount”), at any time during the commitment period of 45 days from the Effective Date (each such occurrence, an “Advance”), subject to the restrictions and satisfaction of the conditions in the Purchase Agreement.
The Purchase Agreement will terminate automatically on the earlier of October 9, 2025, or when the Investors have subscribed for Ordinary Shares equal to the Commitment Amount in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, or via mutual written consent of the parties. In addition, the Company has the right to unilaterally terminate the Purchase Agreement upon three business days’ notice to the Investors, provided that there are no outstanding Advance Notices under which Ordinary Shares have yet to be issued. The Investors have the right to unilaterally terminate the Purchase Agreement upon seven business days’ notice to the Company.
This Report on Form 6-K (this “Report”) shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation to buy nor shall there be any sale of the Ordinary Shares in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, closing conditions and indemnification provisions. Sales of Ordinary Shares under the Purchase Agreement may commence only after certain conditions have been satisfied, including the effectiveness of a resale registration statement on Form F-1 to be filed by the Company covering the resale of the Ordinary Shares issued or to be sold by the Company to the Investors under the Purchase Agreement.
The proceeds from the sale of the Ordinary Shares by the Company to the Investors shall be used by the Company in the manner as will be set forth in the Prospectus included in any registration statement (and any post-effective amendment thereto) and any Prospectus Supplement thereto filed pursuant to the Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Purchase Agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
This Report and Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Report shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as otherwise expressly stated in such future filing.

Exhibit 99.1
Rectitude Holdings Announces $32.6 Million Standby Equity Purchase Agreement to Launch a Bitcoin Treasury Strategy
SINGAPORE, September 8, 2025 – Rectitude Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq: RECT; the “Company” or “Rectitude”), a Singapore-based provider of safety equipment and related industrial products, today announced that it is initiating a Bitcoin treasury strategy via entering into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”) with Constantinople Limited, a British Virgin Islands Company led by Tian Jia, an experienced Bitcoin investor, as Lead Investor, and Chen Zhiqiang, former co-founder and CTO of Tron, the world largest public blockchain for stablecoin applications (together, the “Investors”). Subject to certain customary conditions, the SEPA grants the Company the option, at its sole discretion, to issue up to $32,625,000 (the “Commitment Amount”) of its ordinary shares to Investors following the execution date of the SEPA and following the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form F-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the ordinary shares issuable pursuant to the SEPA.
The Company intends to use most of the proceeds from any sales under the SEPA for the purchase of Bitcoin, and the rest of the proceeds for general corporate purposes.
The purchase price of the ordinary shares sold to the Investors will be at a 2.5% discount to the lowest daily volume-weighted average price of the ordinary shares during the three consecutive trading days commencing on the trading day of the delivery of an advance notice by the Company.
Under the terms of the SEPA, the Company will determine the timing and number of shares sold through the delivery of advance notices to the Lead Investor. There are no mandatory minimum drawdowns under the SEPA, and no penalties or fees for not utilizing the Commitment Amount.
The Company’s strategy with respect to Bitcoin includes the acquisition and long-term holding of Bitcoin through the use of cash flows from operations in excess of working capital requirements. From time to time, and subject to prevailing market conditions, the Company may also issue equity or debt securities, or pursue other capital-raising transactions, with the objective of using the net proceeds to purchase additional Bitcoin.
The Company has not established a specific target for the amount of Bitcoin it intends to hold. The Company will continue to evaluate market conditions in determining whether to engage in future purchases of Bitcoin. The Company’s strategy further contemplates that it may, from time to time, sell Bitcoin for general corporate purposes, in connection with tax planning strategies permitted under applicable law, or in conjunction with additional capital-raising activities, including transactions that may be secured by its Bitcoin holdings. The Company may also evaluate opportunities to generate income or otherwise monetize its Bitcoin holdings.
The Company views Bitcoin as a reliable store of value and an attractive investment opportunity. The Company believes that Bitcoin’s scarcity and finite supply support its potential as a hedge against inflation and as a safe-haven asset in periods of global instability. The Company further believes that the increasing global adoption and institutional acceptance of Bitcoin reinforce its status as a store of value. In light of Bitcoin’s unique characteristics, which the Company believes distinguish it not only from fiat currency but also from other digital assets, the Company does not currently intend to acquire cryptocurrency assets other than Bitcoin. The Company does not presently maintain a hedging program with respect to its Bitcoin holdings; however, it may, from time to time, consider the use of hedging strategies as part of its broader treasury management activities if deemed appropriate.
“As we advance our core business in the safety equipment industry and expand into clean energy solutions with the launch of our AIMS system, it is critical that we leverage opportunities to manage our resources to enable maximum shareholder value. Holding Bitcoin on our balance sheet represents a strategic move to safeguard shareholder value while positioning us for a digital future. The SEPA provides us with a flexible and efficient source of capital to support our Bitcoin treasury strategy, strengthen our balance sheet, and pursue strategic opportunities. By controlling the timing and use of the SEPA, we look forward to establishing a low-cost, capital-efficient Bitcoin treasury strategy that reflects our strong conviction in Bitcoin as a leading digital store of value for the future,” said Jian Zhang, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Executive Director at Rectitude.
