In December 2010 DPTI entered into an Assignment Agreement with the University of New Brunswick, Canada (“the University”), pursuant to which the University sold, transferred, and assigned to the Company certain patents related to the University’s BOTDA dark-pulse technology (the "Patents") in exchange for the issuance of a debenture to the University in the amount of C$1,500,000 (Canadian dollars). In April 2017, DPTI entered into an Intellectual Property agreement with the University in exchange for the issuance of a replacement debenture to the University in the amount of US$1,491,923 (the “Debenture”). The Patents and the Debenture were initially recorded in the Company’s accounts at $1,491,923, based upon the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Canadian dollar on December 16, 2010, the date of the original debenture. In addition to the repayment of principal and interest, the Debenture requires DPTI to pay the University a two percent royalty on sales of any and all products or services which incorporate the Patents for a period of five years commencing on April 24, 2018, as well as to reimburse the University for its patent-related costs.
DarkPulse, Inc. ("DPI", “DarkPulse” or the "Company") is a technology-security company incorporated in 1989 as Klever Marketing, Inc ("Klever"). Its principal wholly-owned subsidiary, DarkPulse Technologies Inc. ("DPTI"), originally started as a technology spinout from the University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, Canada. DPI is comprised of two security platforms: Fiber and Ultra-High Sensitivity Sensors ("UHSS").
On April 27, 2018, Klever entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement” or the “Merger”) involving Klever as the surviving parent corporation and acquiring DPTI as its wholly-owned subsidiary. On July 18, 2018, the parties closed the Merger Agreement, as amended on July 7, 2018, and the name of the Company was subsequently changed to DarkPulse, Inc. With the change of control of the Company, the Merger was accounted for as a recapitalization in a manner similar to a reverse acquisition.
On July 20, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware, changing the name of the Company to DarkPulse, Inc. The Company filed a corporate action notification with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), and the Company's ticker symbol was changed to DPLS.
IN PLAIN ENGLISH, FACT OF THE MATTER IS THEY CAN USE THE TECHNOLOGY. ITS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU THAT ONE OF THE ORIGINAL INVENTORS IS THE BOARD OF DIRECTOR?
