General
On March 9th, 2018 new management for Applied Energetics, Inc (AE) was put in place by the shareholders. Since that time management has undertaken a series of activities focusing on the reconstitution of the company. The executive team has developed a short term action plan to address immediate issues in order to establish a corporate foundation to begin to build its strategic direction for the company. Immediate priorities of the company include:
| 1) | Assessing and publishing the status and nature of AE’s current intellectual property rights and making that information available to shareholders. |
| 2) | Recapitalization of the company and addressing outstanding debt currently on the company’s balance sheet. |
| 3) | Corporate due diligence on previous company financial and stock transactions with particular attention on large dilutive events, including issuance of shares that were registered on the company’s Registration Statement on Form S1 and as executive compensation from March 2, 2015. |
| 4) | Reestablishment of formal communications to shareholders including quarterly communications, meetings, and phone calls. |
| 5) | Effectively using the AE Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) with emphasis on building corporate brand awareness and participation in industry events. |
| 6) | Continuing to build a corporate leadership team with strong industry experience and relationships to assist in market pursuits and business development. |
| 7) | Launching a targeted business development effort to engage the US Government and its existing teaming partners and communicate the value of AE’s intellectual property and corporate capabilities. |
AE’s executive team is committed to providing updates with respect to the nature and timing of events listed above. AE’s immediate goal will be to leverage the current strength of its patent portfolio and its executive team’s experience in this market to develop a product road map that enables AE to engage with clients on existing and new technologies.
