Item 1.01 |
Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement. |
On February 24, 2023, DarkPulse, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), entered into an engagement letter (the “Engagement”) with Keystone
Global Holdings and its subsidiaries Keystone Global Strategies, LLC (“Keystone”) and KSG Advisors, LLC, (“KSG”)
together, “Keystone Global” to provide the Company certain services, specifically: (i) Keystone to render strategic
advisory and business development consulting including certain project development, whether related to one project or a series of projects
(the “Consulting Services”) and (ii) KSG, in connection with certain investment banking services related to the
sale of interests in the Company through certain financial instruments issued by the Company or any or all of the Company’s subsidiaries
whether effected in one transaction or a series of transactions (the “Transaction”).
If during the term of the Engagement, Keystone’s
Consulting Services result: (i) in a Definitive Agreement, or (ii) in a fully executed Contract (as defined in the Engagement) between
Company and a Keystone Project Target (as defined in the Engagement), (each a “Contract Award”), then Keystone shall
receive a fee (“Contract Award Fee”) equal to a percentage of the Contract Value (as defined in the Engagement) of
the Definitive Agreement or the Contract Award, regardless of the term of the Definitive Agreement or Contract as follows:
| · | 7% of the first $5 million; and |
| · | 5% on everything above $5 million. |
If during the term of the Engagement, a Transaction
is consummated, or the Company enters into an agreement which subsequently results in a Transaction being consummated with a Keystone
Investor Target (as defined in the Engagement), then KSG shall be paid a cash fee (the “Success Fee”) at the closing
of the Transaction equal to a percentage of the Aggregate Consideration (as defined in the Engagement) payable in connection with the
Transaction as follows:
| · | 7% of the first $5 million; and |
| · | 5% on everything above $5 million |
The Consulting Services shall continue in effect
until one year from the date of the Engagement and the Transaction advisory services shall continue in effect until six months from the
date of the Engagement, unless terminated at any time with or without cause by either Keystone Global or the Company upon ten business
days written notice thereof to the other party.
