Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of
Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers
On June 22, 2021, Scot
Cohen resigned as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of
Wrap Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”).
Mr. Cohen will remain a director of the Company. Following Mr.
Cohen’s resignation, Patrick Kinsella, a current member of
the Board of Directors, was elected as Chairman of the Board of
Directors to serve in that capacity until his successor is elected
by the Board, or his earlier resignation.
Mr. Kinsella meets the “independent
director” standards, as defined in The Nasdaq Stock Market
LLC Listing Rule 5605. The election of an independent director to
the Board to replace Mr. Cohen was required pursuant to that
certain Cooperation Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated March 4, 2021, by and between the
Company and Elwood G. Norris and certain of his affiliates. For
more information regarding the Agreement, see the Company’s
Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 9, 2021. As a result of the election of Mr.
Kinsella, the Board eliminated the position of Lead Independent
Director previously held by Wayne Walker.
