On May 28, 2020, Wrap Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a consulting agreement (the "Agreement"), effective April 1, 2020, with V3 Capital Partners, LLC ("V3"), pursuant to which V3 will provide consulting and strategic advisory services to the Company, including investor, shareholder and marketing services with a strategic focus on the Company's market capitalization, business development assistance and expertise and other services as described in the Agreement. Scot Cohen, Chair of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), is the sole managing member of V3, and will personally, along with other V3 staff, provide the services to the Company under the terms and conditions of the Agreement. As a result of Mr. Cohen's ownership and active role in V3, the Agreement constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined by Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In consideration for the consulting and strategic advisory services provided to the Company, V3 will be paid a monthly consulting fee of $10,000, in addition to reimbursement of any reasonably-related expenses incurred on behalf of the Company. Further, in the event the Company consummates a financing transaction resulting in gross proceeds to the Company, or consummates a related transaction, in either case valued at $10.0 million or greater, and the efforts of V3 are a material factor in consummating such transaction ("Qualified Financing"), which value shall be determined by the Board in its reasonable discretion, V3 shall be entitled to a cash bonus of $175,000. The Agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time for any reason upon five days' prior written notice to V3.
Because of the related party nature of the Agreement, the Company's Audit Committee, approved the Agreement and recommended it for approval by the Board's independent directors. As part of its approval of the Agreement, the Board considered the value of such consulting and strategic advisory services provided by other various third parties, including the cost to the Company of acquiring such services, in comparison to the particular value that would be added by the unique business expertise of Mr. Cohen and V3.
The description of the Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
