01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. On December 19, 2025, Art's-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc. (the "Company"), entered into a Solar System Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with Midwest Solar Installers ("Midwest") for the sale and installation of a solar energy system at the Company's principal executive offices. The contract price is $1,402,336, subject to a final site survey and engineering review and any amendments and change orders agreed to in writing by the Company and Midwest. The Company paid 5% of the contract price upon execution of the Agreement and agreed to pay 65% of the contract price no later than three days prior to the scheduled delivery of equipment to the project site and the remaining 30% of the contract price within three days of the system passing its final electrical inspection. The Company has granted Midwest a security interest in the solar equipment to secure payment of the contract price. The Company estimates that the solar project will eliminate 100% of its electricity costs for the next 30 years, which is the estimated useful life of the equipment, under the assumption that excess energy will be put back on the local grid. Current electricity costs are approximately $155,000 per year. The Company will also be eligible for Investment Tax Credits equal to 30% of the project cost limited by future taxable income. The Agreement contains termination provisions that allow each of the parties to terminate the Agreement in certain circumstances. The Company may terminate the Agreement in the following circumstances: 1. If Midwest proposes an increased contract price in a proposed change order following site assessment and engineering review; 2. If site assessment and engineering review recommend changes to the Company's infrastructure that the Company is unable or unwilling to complete; and 3. If Midwest proposes an increased contract price in a proposed change order based on an increase in the cost of equipment or
