Wrap Technologies Provides Post IPO Business Update

In December 2017 the Company completed a $3.49 million self-underwritten IPO and began demonstrating the BolaWrap 100 remote restraint device to military and law enforcement. Market Environment The Company’s technology is being introduced into a growing and receptive market environment. Public interest in gun control, non-lethal alternatives, and issues of “use of force” by law enforcement are at all-time highs due to the wave of highly publicized tragedies. There has never been a more opportune time to enter the market with a proprietary product that can apprehend, slow down or restrain an individual before having to resort to injurious or deadly force. BolaWrap 100 is rapidly garnering significant interest from leading international and domestic law enforcement agencies, military and civilian channels. BolaWrap 100 Commercialization The Company is focused on continued product testing and evaluations by prospective customers and implementing product changes resulting from early feedback. Product sales are expected to commence in the second half of 2018. Commercialization highlights include:

• Successfully assembled first production devices and cartridges being used in trial deployments with selected law enforcement agencies.
• Supporting multiple Law Enforcement agencies in developing training, product testing, both in the house and in the field, and policies for BolaWrap100 use.
• Based on early feedback, invented and filed a new pending patent on an innovative line laser accessory to improve both utility and accuracy.
• Prototype laser successfully demonstrated, with manufacturing design progressing for planned mid-2018 deployment.
• Engaged in early stage development project with U.S. Navy.
• Evaluating significant international opportunities.

Staffing and Customer Support Since our IPO we have added staffing and advisors:

• Michael Parris was appointed as an independent director in late 2017. Since 1996, Mr. Parris has been a partner at Perry Rogers Partners Inc., a sports management firm, primarily overseeing the SHAQ Brand and other strategic alliances. He also had a successful career in law enforcement.
• Appointed David Norris as President and director. Mr. Norris joined the Company in January 2018 after having served four years in senior executive roles at privately held loanDepot, Inc. as it rapidly expanded into the 5th largest mortgage lender in the United States. His career has included executive and management roles at Toshiba America Information Systems and Qualcomm Personal Electronics.

Our staff, in partnership with trial agencies, has developed and continues to refine training and materials to correspond with agency use of force guidelines unique to the Company’s remote restraint device. Media and Awareness While the Company’s media and social outreach has been limited to date, the response has been very encouraging, evidenced by a large number of U.S. and international agency inquiries along with general growing public awareness of the need and benefits of a remote restraint device. A current law enforcement television series has identified and is considering BolaWrap to screen as a new modern policing tool. The Company’s strategy includes targeted media and social outreach in 2018. Product Development Partnerships The Company’s goal is to realize the full potential of its new non-lethal restraint device. The Company intends to achieve this by ensuring BolaWrap 100 meets customer requirements as an early engagement tool aiding in the restraint of noncompliant individuals making encounters more effective and less dangerous to law enforcement and the public. The focus is on developing partnerships with large agencies, with the potential of acquiring significant quantities of BolaWrap 100 and cartridges. Agencies at scale typically have dedicated teams and sophistication to test product and provide design feedback, as well as the internal resources to create new policies and procedures for field use. We are also exploring a number of international testing opportunities. Stock Quotation and Trading In December 2017, after completion of the Company’s IPO, a market maker filed an amended Rule 211 application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”, a self-regulatory agency regulating over 5,000 securities) so that the Company’s Common Stock may be quoted on an interdealer quotation system such as the OTC Markets. While streamline reviews are common in large offerings and exchange-listed filings, the Company must rely on its market maker to interface with FINRA in the normal Form 211 review course that can be unpredictable as to detail and timing given significant review backlog. The Company is providing timely support for the FINRA regulatory review process but cannot predict the time to secure application acceptance nor assure acceptance.
