EXPLANATORY NOTE
This registration statement (this “Registration Statement”) is filed by Uni-Fuels Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (Nasdaq: UFG) (the “Registrant”) to register securities issuable pursuant to the Uni-Fuels Holdings Limited 2024 Share Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as amended and restated from time to time. The securities registered hereby consist of 4,869,750 class A ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) of the Registrant reserved for issuance under the Plan. The Plan permits the board of directors to reserve up to fifteen percent (15.0%) of the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding on a fully diluted, as-converted basis as of December 31st of the preceding calendar year. The fully diluted number comprises (i) the Class A Ordinary Shares then issued and outstanding; (ii) the Class A Ordinary Shares that would be issuable upon conversion of all then-outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares (which are convertible on a one-for-one basis); and (iii) the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise or settlement of outstanding awards under the Plan. As of December 31, 2025, the fully-diluted number was 32,465,000, comprising 9,815,000 Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, and 22,650,000 Class A Ordinary Shares that would be issuable upon conversion of all outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares, before giving effect to outstanding awards. The Plan has a ten-year term beginning on November 21, 2024 and expiring on November 21, 2034. The Company may register additional Class A Ordinary Shares under the Plan in the future if the fully-diluted number increases.
As of September 2, 2026, the Company has a total of 9,815,000 Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, and 22,650,000 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, and all of such Class B Ordinary Shares are indirectly held and controlled by Mr. Koh Kuan Hua, our chairman, director and chief executive officer.
The rights of the holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares are identical, except with respect to transfer, voting and conversion rights. Class B Ordinary Shares which shall not be transferrable. Each Class B Ordinary Share has one hundred (100) votes per share and is convertible into one Class A Ordinary Share, whereas each Class A Ordinary Share has one vote per share. Each Class B Ordinary Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into one fully paid and non-assessable Class A Ordinary Share. The Class A Ordinary Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq, while the Class B Ordinary Shares are not listed on any stock exchange.
Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this Registration Statement also covers an indeterminate number of additional shares which may be offered and issued to prevent dilution from share splits, share dividends or similar transactions as provided in the Uni-Fuels Holdings Limited 2024 Share Incentive Plan. Any Class A Ordinary Shares covered by an award granted under the Uni-Fuels Holdings Limited 2024 Share Incentive Plan (or portion of an award) that terminates, expires, lapses or repurchased for any reason will be deemed not to have been issued for purposes of determining the maximum aggregate number of Class A Ordinary Shares that may be issued under the Uni-Fuels Holdings Limited 2024 Share Incentive Plan.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.
Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company provide that (i) to the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary and other officer of the Company (including an investment adviser or an administrator or liquidator) and their personal representatives against: (a) all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in or about the conduct of the Company’s business or affairs or in the execution or discharge of the existing or former director’s (including alternate director’s), secretary’s or officer’s duties, powers, authorities or discretions; and (b) without limitation to paragraph (a), all costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings (whether threatened, pending or completed) concerning the Company or its affairs in any court or tribunal, whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere. No such existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer, however, shall be indemnified in respect of any matter arising out of his own dishonesty, and that (ii) to the extent permitted by law, the Company may make a payment, or agree to make a payment, whether by way of advance, loan or otherwise, for any legal costs incurred by an existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer of the Company in respect of any matter identified in (i) on condition that the director (including alternate director), secretary or officer must repay the amount paid by the Company to the extent that it is ultimately found not liable to indemnify the director (including alternate director), secretary or that officer for those legal costs.
In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers that provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our memorandum and articles of association.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits
The Exhibits listed on the accompanying Exhibit Index are filed as a part of, or incorporated by reference into, this Registration Statement. (See Exhibit Index below).
Item 9. Undertakings.
A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
| (1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: |
(a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; and
(c) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(a) and (1)(b) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post- effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
| (2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| (3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
