Item 1.01

Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

Waiver and Rights Agreement

On August 14, 2024, DarkPulse, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into the Waiver and Rights Agreement (the “Waiver Agreement”) with GHS Investments LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“GHS”). The Company had made several puts under the various equity financing agreements with GHS without having an effective registration statement in place. The inability to have a continuous registration statement in place constituted a default under the various equity financing agreements. Pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, as a waiver of defaults under the Registration Rights Agreement with GHS dated April 28, 2023, the Company agreed to grant to GHS the right to receive up to 962,489,983 shares of Common Stock, subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation.

Settlement Agreement

On July 24, 2024, the Company entered into the Settlement Agreement (the “Agreement”) with GS Capital Partners LLC (“GS”), pursuant to which, upon court approval of the Settlement and subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation, the Company will issue to GS free-trading shares of Common Stock (the “Settlement Shares”) up to $2,673,423.19 (the “Balance”) with the net proceeds of each drawdown subtracting from the Balance until the Balance is satisfied. The Settlement Shares will be issued to GS at a price per share equal to the average of the three lowest volume-weighted average prices as reported on the OTC Markets for the five prior trading days.

GS will be allowed to sell the greater of (1) in one week, no more than 1% of the total outstanding shares of the Company as reported in the Company’s most recently filed SEC report or registration statement on a noncumulative basis and the sales will be made at the “ask” price and not at the “bid price,” and (2) 15% of the daily trading volume of the Common Stock on any single trading day. Under the Agreement, the Company will reserve 2,500,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
