ILUS Signs Letter of Intent to Acquire a British Manufacturer of Autonomous Vehicles While Completing its Next Phase of Restructuring for Anticipated Growth

NEW YORK, NY, Feb. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire - ILUS International Inc. (OTC: ILUS) is a Mergers and Acquisitions company focused on acquiring and growing companies in the public safety, industrial, defense and renewable sectors. On February 16, 2024, the Company signed a letter of intent with a British company which has manufacturing and assembly facilities in the United Arab Emirates from which it manufactures and supplies autonomous vehicles as well as defense and public safety solutions. The definitive agreement is expected to be signed in the first quarter of 2024 and is currently intended to be structured as an equity deal of $3,000,000 with a mutually agreed leak out agreement which is expected to come into effect sometime after the intended in-progress business combination agreement with a NASDAQ company is effective.

The acquisition target is an integrated technology company that designs, develops, and manufactures advanced solutions utilizing proprietary robotics and autonomous systems which are engineered to transform operational capabilities for the defense and security sectors.? The company’s groundbreaking proprietary autonomous technology meets NATO standards for operational land, water, and air requirements in its relevant sectors.

The Global Defense market has been estimated to reach over $718 billion in 2027 although newer data is expected to reflect higher projected growth due to continued war in Ukraine, increased geo-political tensions in many regions globally, and an increase in cyber-terrorism threats. This and several additional factors have led to increased instability, placing heightened demand on the defense and security sectors leading to increased growth.

“This acquisition and those in the pipeline are expected to add incredible value to the ILUS Group. The revenue generating company which services several customers globally has a significant technology valuation and multiple large high probability orders in its pipeline. We are working hard to add further value across the group and are excited to bring in this new deal and others we have been negotiating,” said ILUS Managing Director, John-Paul Backwell.

As previously announced, ILUS acquired control of Samsara Luggage Inc. (OTC: SAML) on January 5, 2024. SAML is currently undergoing a corporate action to change the company name and ticker and it will function as a Special Purpose Vehicle for ILUS’s Emergency Response Technologies (ERT) division. ILUS is currently in the progress of merging its emergency response assets into SAML. Once completed, ILUS will in return receive a stock consideration in SAML of which it intends to dividend out an appropriately proportioned amount of stock consideration to ILUS Shareholders.

Furthermore, ILUS is in discussions with RB Capital regarding the consolidation of its existing promissory notes into one single promissory note. The company believes that the new consolidated note will provide more time and flexibility in repaying the note and prevent further conversions in the short to medium term.

In light of the aforementioned targeted acquisition, further acquisitions which are in negotiation and the restructuring which is underway in preparation for a previously mentioned business combination with a NASDAQ listed company, as well as to prevent any requirement for a reverse split to be conducted, the Board and the Majority Stockholder of ILUS have determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to amend its Articles of Incorporation, to affect an increase in the number of shares authorized common stock from 2,000,000,000 shares at par value $0.001 to 3,500,000,000 at par value $0.001. The Information Statement being filed today is furnished solely for the purpose of informing Shareholders.

ILUS CEO, Nicolas Link, concluded: “We have been working extremely hard with our advisors, attorneys, and auditors to get every aspect of our company structured and aligned for an imminent business combination agreement to be signed. I am currently in the USA with JP Backwell for the final stage of the business combination transaction with the NASDAQ company. We anticipate that the moves we are currently making will allow us and our Shareholders to realize the significant value that has been created over the past few years.”

ILUS Acquires the Majority Stake of Samsara Luggage, Inc.

NEW YORK, NY, Jan. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire – ILUS International Inc. (OTC: ILUS) is a Mergers and Acquisitions company focused on acquiring and growing companies in the public safety, industrial, defense and renewable sectors. The company confirms that is has acquired the controlling interest in the SEC Reporting OTC listed company, Samsara Luggage, Inc. (OTC: SAML).

ILUS is changing the business direction of SAML from luggage manufacturing and distribution towards the acquisition and growth of businesses in the public safety sector. The existing luggage business will be spun out of SAML and ILUS will be merging several of its existing emergency response focused companies into SAML, which will function as a Special Purpose Vehicle for the financing and growth of ILUS’ emergency response subsidiary.

On January 3, 2024, ILUS acquired a convertible note from YAII PN, LTD with outstanding principal and accrued interest of $600,684.93. On January 5, 2024, ILUS converted the note into 150,753,425 shares of common stock in SAML pursuant to the terms of the exchange note which was filed in ILUS’ Schedule 13D. As a result of the conversion, as of January 5, 2024, ILUS acquired control of 91.5% of the outstanding shares in SAML.

In connection with the acquisition of the note and the subsequent conversion to shares of common stock, the current officers and directors, Mrs. Atara Dzikowski, and Mr. David Dahan resigned from all their positions with SAML. Nicolas Link was appointed as SAML’s Chairman of the Board and John-Paul Backwell was appointed as the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Director. Mrs. Atara Dzikowski will remain as a consultant to SAML for a period. Former President of REV Group’s Fire and Ambulance Division, Dan Peters, will serve as President of SAML. Further members of the company’s board and management team will be announced in due course.

As previously mentioned, several of ILUS’ emergency response focused companies will be merged into SAML for a stock consideration to ILUS shareholders, following which SAML will continue to function as the emergency response subsidiary of ILUS, known as Emergency Response Technologies (ERT). The subsidiary intends to pay a special equity dividend to ILUS shareholders and is finalizing this with its legal counsel. ILUS will retain the controlling interest in SAML.

As was the case with ILUS’ Industrial subsidiary, Quality Industrial Corp. (OTC: QIND), which effected its name and ticker change in August 2022, SAML plans to change its name and ticker, in connection with a short form merger with its wholly owned subsidiary, Emergency Response Technologies, in accordance with NRS 92A.180. The corporate action will be submitted to FINRA and will be effective once a market effective date is provided by FINRA.

ILUS believes that the SAML acquisition will add significant value to its structure and operations, specifically the eagerly anticipated expansion of its emergency response subsidiary. SAML has its own funding line in place for purposes of expansion, and such access to capital will be non-dilutive to ILUS shareholders. With this more streamlined structure and access to capital in place through SAML as its Special Purpose Vehicle, ILUS anticipates the aggressive expansion of its emergency response subsidiary in 2024. Such expansion plans include the acquisition of a large US headquartered emergency vehicle manufacturer and distributor. Following this acquisition, the subsidiary intends to uplist to a major stock exchange.

SAML will become more proactive on its relevant social media channels and ILUS will keep shareholders informed of the progress across all of its subsidiaries. SAML itself will provide regular updates through its social media and formal press releases. Several updates will be made to the ERT website as assets are officially merged into the company. ILUS shareholders and parties interested in tracking SAML’s progress are requested to do so by following its Twitter account or by keeping an eye on its website, the details of which are listed below:
