THE OFFERING
This prospectus relates to the resale of 75,000,000 shares of our

OUR
BUSINESS
We were originally incorporated in 1988 in the state of Florida.
TPT Global, Inc., a Nevada corporation formed in June 2014, merged
with Ally Pharma US, Inc., a Florida corporation, (“Ally Pharma,”
formerly known as Gold Royalty Corporation) in a “reverse merger”
wherein Ally Pharma issued 110,000,000 shares of Common Stock, or
80% ownership, to the owners of TPT Global, Inc. and Ally Pharma
changed its name to TPT Global Tech, Inc. In 2014, we acquired all
the assets of K Telecom and Wireless LLC (“K Telecom”) and Global
Telecom International, LLC (“Global Telecom”). Effective January
31, 2015, we completed our acquisition of 100% of the outstanding
stock of Copperhead Digital Holdings, Inc. (“Copperhead Digital”)
and Subsidiaries, TruCom, LLC (“TruCom”), Nevada Utilities, Inc.
(“Nevada Utilities”) and CityNet Arizona, LLC (“CityNet”). In
October 2015, we acquired the assets of both Port2Port, Inc.
(“Port2Port”) and Digithrive, Inc. (“Digithrive”). Effective
September 30, 2016, we acquired 100% ownership in San Diego Media,
Inc. (“SDM”). In December 2016, we acquired the Lion Phone
technology. In October and November 2017, we entered into
agreements to acquire Blue Collar, Inc. (“Blue Collar”), and
certain assets of Matrixsites, Inc. (“Matrixsites”) which we have
completed. On May 7, 2019, we completed the acquisition of a
majority of the assets of SpeedConnect, LLC, which assets were
conveyed into our wholly owned subsidiary TPT SpeedConnect, LLC
(“TPT SC” or “TPT SpeedConnect”) which was formed on April 16,
2019. On January 8, 2020, we formed TPT Federal, LLC (“TPT
Federal”). On March 30, 2020, we formed TPT MedTech, LLC (“TPT
MedTech”) and on June 6, 2020, we formed InnovaQor, Inc
(“InnovaQor”). In July and August 2020, the Company formed
Quiklab 1 LLC, QuikLAB 2, LLC, QuikLAB 3, LLC and QuikLAB 4, LLC
where the Company owns 80% (as agreed per the operating agreement)
of all outside equity investments. Effective August 1, 2020,
we closed on the acquisition of 75% of The Fitness Container, LLC
(“Aire Fitness”). In July 2020, we invested in a Hong Kong
company called TPT Global Tech Asia Limited of which we own 78%,
and during 2020, InnovaQor did a reverse merger with Southern
Plains of which there ended up being a non controlling interest of
6% as of September 30, 2021. The name of InnovaQor remained
for the merged entities but was changed to TPT Strategic, Inc. on
March 21, 2021.
We are based in San Diego, California, and operate as a
technology-based company with divisions providing
telecommunications, medical technology and product distribution,
media content for domestic and international syndication as well as
technology solutions. We operate as a Media Content Hub for
Domestic and International syndication,
Technology/Telecommunications company using our own proprietary
Global Digital Media TV and Telecommunications infrastructure
platform and also provide technology solutions to businesses
domestically and worldwide. We offer Software as a Service (SaaS),
Technology Platform as a Service (PAAS), Cloud-based Unified
Communication as a Service (UCaaS) and carrier-grade performance
and support for businesses over our private IP MPLS fiber and
wireless network in the United States. Our cloud-based UCaaS
services allow businesses of any size to enjoy all the latest
voice, data, media and collaboration features in today's global
technology markets. We also operate as a Master Distributor for
Nationwide Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO) and Independent
Sales Organization (ISO) as a Master Distributor for Pre-Paid
Cellphone services, Mobile phones, Cellphone Accessories and Global
Roaming Cellphones.
We anticipate needing an estimated $38,000,000 in capital to
continue our business operations and expansion. We do not have
committed sources for these additional funds and will need to be
obtained through debt or equity placements or a combination of
those. We are in negotiations for certain sources to provide
funding but at this time do not have a committed source of these
funds.
Our executive offices are located at 501 West Broadway, Suite 800,
San Diego, CA 92101 and the telephone number is (619) 400-4996. We
maintain a website at www.tptglobaltech.com, and such website is
not incorporated into or a part of this filing.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth
Company
As a company with less than $1.0 billion of revenue during our last
fiscal year, we qualify as an emerging growth company as defined in
the JOBS Act, and we may remain an emerging growth company for up
to five years from the date of the first sale in this offering.
However, if certain events occur prior to the end of such five-year
period, including if we become a large accelerated filer, our
annual gross revenue exceeds $1.0 billion, or we issue more than
$1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, we
will cease to be an emerging growth company prior to the end of
such five-year period. For so long as we remain an emerging growth
company, we are permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from
certain disclosure and other requirements that are applicable to
other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. In
particular, in this prospectus, we have provided only two years of
audited financial statements and have not included all of the
executive compensation related information that would be required
if we were not an emerging growth company. Accordingly, the
information contained herein may be different than the information
you receive from other public companies in which you hold equity
interests. However, we have irrevocably elected not to avail
ourselves of the extended transition period for complying with new
or revised accounting standards, and, therefore, we will be subject
to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public
companies that are not emerging growth companies.
OTCQB Stock Symbol
Currently there is a limited public trading market for our stock on
OTCQB under the symbol “TPTW.”
Our Business Segments
Our business segment consists generally of providing strategic,
legacy and data integration products and services to small, medium
and enterprise business, wholesale and governmental customers,
including other communication providers. Our strategic products and
services offered to these customers include our collocation,
hosting, broadband, VoIP, information technology and other
ancillary services. Our services offered to these customers
primarily include local and long-distance voice, inducing the sale
of unbundled network elements (“UNEs”), switched access and other
ancillary services. Our product offerings include the sale of
telecommunications equipment located on customers’ premises and
related products and professional services, all of which are
described further below.
Our products and services include local and long-distance voice,
broadband, Ethernet, collocation, hosting (including cloud hosting
and managed hosting), data integration, video, network, public
access, VoIP, information technology and other ancillary
services.
We offer our customers the ability to bundle together several
products and services. For example, we offer integrated and
unlimited local and long-distance voice services. Our customers can
also bundle two or more services such as broadband, video
(including through our strategic partnerships), voice services. We
believe our customers value the convenience and price discounts
associated with receiving multiple services through a single
company.
Most of our products and services are provided using our
telecommunications network, which consists of voice and data
switches, copper cables, fiber-optic cables and other
equipment.
Our key products and services are described in greater detail in
the Information with Respect to the Registrant Section.
Government Regulation
Overview
As discussed further below, our operations are subject to
significant local, state, federal and foreign laws and
regulations.
We are subject to the significant regulations by the FCC, which
regulates interstate communications, and state utility commissions,
which regulate intrastate communications. These agencies (i) issue
rules to protect consumers and promote competition, (ii) set the
rates that telecommunication companies charge each other for
exchanging traffic, and (iii) have traditionally developed and
administered support programs designed to subsidize the provision
of services to high-cost rural areas. In most states, local voice
service, switched and special access services and interconnection
services are subject to price regulation, although the extent of
regulation varies by type of service and geographic region. In
addition, we are required to maintain licenses with the FCC and
with state utility commissions. Laws and regulations in many states
restrict the manner in which a licensed entity can interact with
affiliates, transfer assets, issue debt and engage in other
business activities. Many acquisitions and divestitures may require
approval by the FCC and some state commissions. These agencies
typically have the authority to withhold their approval, or to
request or impose substantial conditions upon the transacting
parties in connection with granting their approvals.
The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) regulates
all of our mobile laboratory testing activities performed on humans
in the United States through Clinical Laboratory Improvement
Amendments (‘CLIA’) which covers approximately 260,000 laboratory
entities. We obtain CLIA licenses where necessary to operate our
mobile laboratories. We also hire staffing agencies that work the
health care industry with the appropriate health care workers to
operate the mobile laboratories, which agencies and workers are
regulated by state and local agencies like the agency for Health
Care Administration in Florida (“AHCA”). Each state and local
jurisdiction has their own agency or regulatory organization that
we follow and adhere to their laws and guidelines in relation
operating our mobile testing facilities.
The description beginning on page 59 discusses some of the major
industry regulations that may affect our traditional operations,
but numerous other regulations not discussed below could also
impact us. Some legislation and regulations are currently the
subject of judicial, legislative and administrative proceedings
which could substantially change the manner in which the
telecommunications industry operates and the amount of revenues we
receive for our services.
Neither the outcome of these proceedings, nor their potential
impact on us, can be predicted at this time. For additional
information, see "Risk Factors."
The laws and regulations governing our affairs are quite complex
and occasionally in conflict with each other. From time to time, we
are fined for failing to meet applicable regulations or service
requirements.

RISK FACTORS
This investment has a high degree of risk. Before you invest
you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described
below and the other information in this prospectus. If any of the
following risks actually occur, our business, operating results and
financial condition could be harmed and the value of our stock
could go down. This means you could lose all or a part of your
investment. You should carefully consider the risks
described below together with all of the other information included
in our public filings before making an investment decision with
regard to our securities. The statements contained in or
incorporated into this document that are not historic facts are
forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements.
If any of the following events described in these risk factors
actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of
operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our
common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your
investment. Moreover, additional risks not presently known to us or
that we currently deem less significant also may impact our
business, financial condition or results of operations, perhaps
materially. For additional information regarding risk factors, see
“Forward-Looking Statements.”
Special Information Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements
The information herein contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Actual results may materially differ from those projected
in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks and
uncertainties set forth in this report. Although management
believes that the assumptions made and expectations reflected in
the forward-looking statements are reasonable, there is no
assurance that the underlying assumptions will, in fact, prove to
be correct or that actual results will not be different from
expectations expressed in this report.
We desire to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This filing
contains a number of forward-looking statements that reflect
management’s current views and expectations with respect to our
business, strategies, products, future results and events, and
financial performance. All statements made in this filing other
than statements of historical fact, including statements addressing
operating performance, clinical developments which management
expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including
statements related to our technology, market expectations, future
revenues, financing alternatives, statements expressing general
optimism about future operating results, and non-historical
information, are forward looking statements. In particular, the
words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,”
“may,” variations of such words, and similar expressions identify
forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of
identifying such statements, and their absence does not mean that
the statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking
statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties,
including those discussed below. Our actual results, performance or
achievements could differ materially from historical results as
well as those expressed in, anticipated, or implied by these
forward-looking statements. We do not undertake any obligation to
revise these forward-looking statements to reflect any future
events or circumstances.
Readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which are based on management’s current expectations
and projections about future events, are not guarantees of future
performance, are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions
(including those described below), and apply only as of the date of
this filing. Our actual results, performance or achievements could
differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by,
these forward-looking statements. Factors which could cause or
contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the
risks to be discussed in this Form S-1 Registration and in the
press releases and other communications to shareholders issued by
us from time to time which attempt to advise interested parties of
the risks and factors which may affect our business. We undertake
no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events,
or otherwise. For additional information regarding forward-looking
statements, see “Forward-Looking Statements.
RISK FACTORS RELATED
TO OUR BUSINESS
Many of our competitors
are better established and have resources significantly greater
than we have, which may make it difficult to attract and retain
subscribers.
We will compete with other providers of telephony service, many of
which have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing
resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories,
greater name recognition and more established relationships in the
industry. In addition, a number of these competitors may combine or
form strategic partnerships. As a result, our competitors may be
able to offer, or bring to market earlier, products and services
that are superior to our own in terms of features, quality, pricing
or other factors. Our failure to compete successfully with any of
these companies would have a material adverse effect on our
business and the trading price of our common stock.
The market for broadband and VoIP services is highly competitive,
and we compete with several other companies within a single
market:
|
•
|
cable operators offering high-speed Internet connectivity services
and voice communications;
|
|
•
|
incumbent and competitive local exchange carriers providing DSL
services over their existing wide, metropolitan and local area
networks;
|
|
•
|
3G cellular, PCS and other wireless providers offering wireless
broadband services and capabilities, including developments in
existing cellular and PCS technology that may increase network
speeds or have other advantages over our services;
|
|
•
|
internet service providers offering dial-up Internet
connectivity;
|
|
•
|
municipalities and other entities operating free or subsidized WiFi
networks;
|
|
•
|
providers of VoIP telephony services;
|
|
•
|
wireless Internet service providers using licensed or unlicensed
spectrum;
|
|
•
|
satellite and fixed wireless service providers offering or
developing broadband Internet connectivity and VoIP telephony;
|
|
•
|
electric utilities and other providers offering or planning to
offer broadband Internet connectivity over power
lines; and
|
|
•
|
resellers providing wireless Internet service by “piggy-backing” on
DSL or WiFi networks operated by others.
|
Moreover, we expect other existing and prospective competitors,
particularly if our services are successful; to adopt technologies
or business plans similar to ours or seek other means to develop a
product competitive with our services. Many of our competitors are
well-established and have larger and better developed networks and
systems, longer-standing relationships with customers and
suppliers, greater name recognition and greater financial,
technical and marketing resources than we have. These competitors
can often subsidize competing services with revenues from other
sources, such as advertising, and thus may offer their products and
services at lower prices than ours. These or other competitors may
also reduce the prices of their services significantly or may offer
broadband connectivity packaged with other products or services. We
may not be able to reduce our prices or otherwise alter our
services correspondingly, which would make it more difficult to
attract and retain subscribers.
Our Acquisitions could
result in operating difficulties, dilution and distractions from
our core business.
We have evaluated, and expect to continue to evaluate, potential
strategic transactions, including larger acquisitions. The process
of acquiring and integrating a company, business or technology is
risky, may require a disproportionate amount of our management or
financial resources and may create unforeseen operating
difficulties or expenditures, including:
|
•
|
difficulties in integrating acquired technologies and operations
into our business while maintaining uniform standards, controls,
policies and procedures;
|
|
•
|
increasing cost and complexity of assuring the implementation and
maintenance of adequate internal control and disclosure controls
and procedures, and of obtaining the reports and attestations that
are required of a company filing reports under the Securities
Exchange Act;
|
|
•
|
difficulties in consolidating and preparing our financial
statements due to poor accounting records, weak financial controls
and, in some cases, procedures at acquired entities based on
accounting principles not generally accepted in the United States,
particularly those entities in which we lack control; and
|
|
•
|
the inability to predict or anticipate market developments and
capital commitments relating to the acquired company, business or
technology.
|
Acquisitions of and joint ventures with companies organized
outside the United States often involve additional risks,
including:
|
•
|
difficulties, as a result of distance, language or culture
differences, in developing, staffing and managing foreign
operations;
|
|
•
|
lack of control over our joint ventures and other business
relationships;
|
|
•
|
currency exchange rate fluctuations;
|
|
•
|
longer payment cycles;
|
|
•
|
credit risk and higher levels of payment fraud;
|
|
•
|
foreign exchange controls that might limit our control over, or
prevent us from repatriating, cash generated outside the United
States;
|
|
•
|
potentially adverse tax consequences;
|
|
•
|
expropriation or nationalization of assets;
|
|
•
|
differences in regulatory requirements that may make it difficult
to offer all of our services;
|
|
•
|
unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
|
|
•
|
trade barriers and import and export restrictions; and
|
|
•
|
political or social unrest and economic instability.
|
The anticipated benefit of any of our acquisitions or investments
may never materialize. Future investments, acquisitions or
dispositions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of our
equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities
or amortization expenses, or write-offs of goodwill, any of which
could harm our financial condition. Future investments and
acquisitions may require us to obtain additional equity or debt
financing, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at
all.
Our substantial
indebtedness and our current default status and any restrictive
debt covenants could limit our financing options and liquidity
position and may limit our ability to grow our
business.
Our indebtedness could have important consequences to the holders
of our common stock, such as:
|
•
|
we may not be able to obtain additional financing to fund working
capital, operating losses, capital expenditures or acquisitions on
terms acceptable to us or at all;
|
|
•
|
we may be unable to refinance our indebtedness on terms acceptable
to us or at all;
|
|
•
|
if substantial indebtedness continues it could make us more
vulnerable to economic downturns and limit our ability to withstand
competitive pressures; and
|
|
•
|
cash flows from operations are currently negative and may continue
to be so, and our remaining cash, if any, may be insufficient to
operate our business.
|
|
•
|
paying dividends to our stockholders;
|
|
•
|
incurring, or cause certain of our subsidiaries to incur,
additional indebtedness;
|
|
•
|
permitting liens on or conduct sales of any assets pledged as
collateral;
|
|
•
|
selling all or substantially all of our assets or consolidate or
merge with or into other companies;
|
|
•
|
repaying existing indebtedness; and
|
|
•
|
engaging in transactions with affiliates.
|
As of September 30, 2021, the total debt or financing arrangements
was $16,049,504, of which approximately $8,140,536 or 21% of total
current liabilities is past due. As of September 30, 2021,
the Company had financing lease liability-related amounts of
$868,587. During 2020, the holders of approximately $4,700,000 of
existing financing arrangements agreed to exchange their debt and
accrued interest for Series D Preferred Stock through a separate
$12 Million Private Placement, conditioned on the Company raising
at least $12,000,000 in a separate Form 1-A Offering. Our
inability to renegotiate our indebtedness may cause lien holders to
obtain possession of a good portion of our assets which would
significantly alter our ability to generate revenues and obtain any
additional financing.
We may experience
difficulties in constructing, upgrading and maintaining our
network, which could adversely affect customer satisfaction,
increase subscriber turnover and reduce our
revenues.
Our success depends on developing and providing products and
services that give subscribers a high-quality internet connectivity
and VoIP experience. If the number of subscribers using our network
and the complexity of our products and services increase, we will
require more infrastructure and network resources to maintain the
quality of our services. Consequently, we expect to make
substantial investments to construct and improve our facilities and
equipment and to upgrade our technology and network infrastructure.
If we do not implement these developments successfully, or if we
experience inefficiencies, operational failures or unforeseen costs
during implementation, the quality of our products and services
could decline.
We may experience quality deficiencies, cost overruns and delays on
construction, maintenance and upgrade projects, including the
portions of those projects not within our control or the control of
our contractors. The construction of our network requires the
receipt of permits and approvals from numerous governmental bodies,
including municipalities and zoning boards. Such bodies often limit
the expansion of transmission towers and other construction
necessary for our business. Failure to receive approvals in a
timely fashion can delay system rollouts and raise the cost of
completing construction projects. In addition, we typically are
required to obtain rights from land, building and tower owners to
install our antennas and other equipment to provide service to our
subscribers. We may not be able to obtain, on terms acceptable to
us, or at all, the rights necessary to construct our network and
expand our services.
We also face challenges in managing and operating our network.
These challenges include operating, maintaining and upgrading
network and customer premises equipment to accommodate increased
traffic or technological advances, and managing the sales,
advertising, customer support, billing and collection functions of
our business while providing reliable network service at expected
speeds and VoIP telephony at expected levels of quality. Our
failure in any of these areas could adversely affect customer
satisfaction, increase subscriber turnover, increase our costs,
decrease our revenues and otherwise have a material adverse effect
on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of
operations.
If we do not obtain and
maintain rights to use licensed spectrum in one or more markets, we
may be unable to operate in these markets, which could adversely
affect our ability to execute our business
strategy.
Even though we have established license agreements, growth requires
that we plan to provide our services obtaining additional licensed
spectrum both in the United States and internationally, we depend
on our ability to acquire and maintain sufficient rights to use
licensed spectrum by obtaining our own licenses or long-term
spectrum leases, in each of the markets in which we operate or
intend to operate. Licensing is the short-term solution to
obtaining the necessary spectrum as building out spectrum is a long
and difficult process that can be costly and require a
disproportionate amount of our management resources. We may not be
able to acquire, lease or maintain the spectrum necessary to
execute our business strategy.
Using licensed spectrum, whether owned or leased, poses additional
risks to us, including:
|
•
|
inability to satisfy build-out or service deployment requirements
upon which our spectrum licenses or leases are, or may be,
conditioned;
|
|
•
|
increases in spectrum acquisition costs;
|
|
•
|
adverse changes to regulations governing our spectrum rights;
|
|
•
|
the risk that spectrum we have acquired or leased will not be
commercially usable or free of harmful interference from licensed
or unlicensed operators in our or adjacent bands;
|
|
•
|
with respect to spectrum we will lease in the United States,
contractual disputes with or the bankruptcy or other reorganization
of the license holders, which could adversely affect our control
over the spectrum subject to such license;
|
|
•
|
failure of the FCC or other regulators to renew our spectrum
licenses as they expire; and
|
|
•
|
invalidation of our authorization to use all or a significant
portion of our spectrum, resulting in, among other things,
impairment charges related to assets recorded for such
spectrum.
|
If we fail to establish
and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be
able to report our financial results accurately or to prevent
fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results
accurately and timely could harm our business and adversely impact
the trading price of our common stock.
Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable
financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable
financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage
our business as effectively as we would if an effective control
environment existed, and our business, brand and reputation with
investors may be harmed.
In addition, reporting a material weakness may negatively impact
investors’ perception of us. We have allocated, and will continue
to allocate, significant additional resources to remedy any
deficiencies in our internal control. There can be no assurances
that our remedial measures will be successful in curing the any
material weakness or that other significant deficiencies or
material weaknesses will not arise in the future.
Interruption or failure
of our information technology and communications systems could
impair our ability to provide our products and services, which
could damage our reputation and harm our operating
results.
We have experienced service interruptions in some markets in the
past and may experience service interruptions or system failures in
the future. Any unscheduled service interruption adversely affects
our ability to operate our business and could result in an
immediate loss of revenues. If we experience frequent or persistent
system or network failures, our reputation and brand could be
permanently harmed. We may make significant capital expenditures to
increase the reliability of our systems, but these capital
expenditures may not achieve the results we expect.
Our products and services depend on the continuing operation of our
information technology and communications systems. Any damage to or
failure of our systems could result in interruptions in our
service. Interruptions in our service could reduce our revenues and
profits, and our brand could be damaged if people believe our
network is unreliable. Our systems are vulnerable to damage or
interruption from earthquakes, terrorist attacks, floods, fires,
power loss, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, computer
denial of service attacks or other attempts to harm our systems,
and similar events. Some of our systems are not fully redundant,
and our disaster recovery planning may not be adequate. The
occurrence of a natural disaster or unanticipated problems at our
network centers could result in lengthy interruptions in our
service and adversely affect our operating results.
The industries in which
we operate are continually evolving, which makes it difficult to
evaluate our future prospects and increases the risk of your
investment. Our products and services may become obsolete, and we
may not be able to develop competitive products or services on a
timely basis or at all.
The markets in which we and our customers compete are characterized
by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and
communications protocols, and continuous improvements in products
and services. Our future success depends on our ability to enhance
current products and to develop and introduce in a timely manner
new products that keep pace with technological developments,
industry standards and communications protocols, compete
effectively on the basis of price, performance and quality,
adequately address end-user customer requirements and achieve
market acceptance. There can be no assurance that the deployment of
wireless networks will not be delayed or that our products will
achieve widespread market acceptance or be capable of providing
service at competitive prices in sufficient volumes. In the event
that our products are not timely and economically developed or do
not gain widespread market acceptance, our business, results of
operations and financial condition would be materially adversely
affected. There can also be no assurance that our products will not
be rendered obsolete by the introduction and acceptance of new
communications protocols.
The broadband services industry is characterized by rapid
technological change, competitive pricing, frequent new service
introductions and evolving industry standards and regulatory
requirements. We believe that our success depends on our ability to
anticipate and adapt to these challenges and to offer competitive
services on a timely basis. We face a number of difficulties and
uncertainties associated with our reliance on technological
development, such as:
|
•
|
competition from service providers using more traditional and
commercially proven means to deliver similar or alternative
services;
|
|
•
|
competition from new service providers using more efficient, less
expensive technologies, including products not yet invented or
developed;
|
|
•
|
uncertain consumer acceptance;
|
|
•
|
realizing economies of scale;
|
|
•
|
responding successfully to advances in competing technologies in a
timely and cost-effective manner;
|
|
•
|
migration toward standards-based technology, requiring substantial
capital expenditures; and
|
|
•
|
existing, proposed or undeveloped technologies that may render our
wireless broadband and VoIP telephony services less profitable or
obsolete.
|
As the products and services offered by us and our competitors
develop, businesses and consumers may not accept our services as a
commercially viable alternative to other means of delivering
wireless broadband and VoIP telephony services.
If we are unable to
successfully develop and market additional services and/or new
generations of our services offerings or market our services and
product offerings to a broad number of customers, we may not remain
competitive.
Our future success and our ability to increase net revenue and
earnings depend, in part, on our ability to develop and market new
additional services and/or new generations of our current services
offerings and market our existing services offerings to a broad
number of customers. However, we may not be able to, among other
things:
|
•
|
successfully develop or market new services or product offerings or
enhance existing services offerings;
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
educate third-party sales organizations adequately for them to
promote and sell our services offerings;
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
develop, market and distribute existing and future services
offerings in a cost-effective manner; or
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
operate the facilities needed to provide our services
offerings.
|
If we fail to develop new service offerings, or if we incur
unexpected expenses or delays in product development or
integration, we may lose our competitive position and incur
substantial additional expenses or may be required to curtail or
terminate all or part of our present planned business
operations.
Our failure to do any of the foregoing could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. In addition, if any of our current or future services
offerings contain undetected errors or design defects or do not
work as expected for our customers, our ability to market these
services offerings could be substantially impeded, resulting in
lost sales, potential reputation damage and delays in obtaining
market acceptance of these services offerings. We cannot assure you
that we will continue to successfully develop and market new or
enhanced applications for our services offerings. If we do not
continue to expand our services offerings portfolio on a timely
basis or if those products and applications do not receive market
acceptance, become regulatory restricted, or become obsolete, we
will not grow our business as currently expected.
We operate in a very
competitive environment.
There are three types of competitors for our service offerings.
|
(1)
|
The value-added resellers and other vendors of hardware and
software for on-site installation do not typically have an offering
similar to our cloud-based services. However, they are the primary
historic service suppliers to our targeted customers and will
actively work to defend their customer base.
|
|
(2)
|
There are a number of providers offering services, but they
typically offer only one or two applications of their choosing
instead of our offering which bundles customer’s chosen
services.
|
|
(3)
|
There are a few providers that offer more than two applications
from the cloud. However currently, these providers typically offer
only those applications they have chosen.
|
Our industry is characterized by rapid change resulting from
technological advances and new services offerings. Certain
competitors have substantially greater capital resources, larger
customer bases, larger sales forces, greater marketing and
management resources, larger research and development staffs and
larger facilities than our and have more established reputations
with our target customers, as well as distribution channels that
are entrenched and may be more effective than ours. Competitors may
develop and offer technologies and products that are more
effective, have better features, are easier to use, are less
expensive and/or are more readily accepted by the marketplace than
our offerings. Their products could make our technology and service
offerings obsolete or noncompetitive. Competitors may also be able
to achieve more efficient operations and distribution than ours may
be able to and may offer lower prices than we could offer
profitably. We may decide to alter or discontinue aspects of our
business and may adopt different strategies due to business or
competitive factors or factors currently unforeseen, such as the
introduction by competitors of new products or services
technologies that would make part or all of our service offerings
obsolete or uncompetitive.
In addition, the industry could experience some consolidation.
There is also a risk that larger companies will enter our
markets.
If we fail to maintain
effective relationships with our major vendors, our services
offerings and profitability could suffer.
We use third party providers for services. In addition, we purchase
hardware, software and services from external suppliers.
Accordingly, we must maintain effective relationships with our
vendor base to source our needs, maintain continuity of supply, and
achieve reasonable costs. If we fail to maintain effective
relationships with our vendor base, this may adversely affect our
ability to deliver the best products and services to our customers
and our profitability could suffer.
Any failure of the
physical or electronic security that resulted in unauthorized
parties gaining access to customer data could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of
operations.
We use commercial data networks to service customers cloud based
services and the associated customer data. Any data is subject to
the risk of physical or electronic intrusion by unauthorized
parties. We have a multi-homed firewalls and Intrusion Detection /
Prevention systems to protect against electronic intrusion and two
physical security levels in our networks. Our policy is to close
all external ports as a default. Robust anti-virus software runs on
all client servers. Systems have automated monitoring and alerting
for unusual activity. We also have a Security Officer who monitors
these systems. We have better security systems and expertise than
our clients can afford separately but any failure of these systems
could adversely affect our business growth and financial
condition.
Demand for our service
offerings may decrease if new government regulations substantially
increase costs, limit delivery or change the use of Internet access
and other products on which our service offerings
depend.
We are dependent on Internet access to deliver our service
offerings. If new regulations are imposed that limit the use of the
Internet or impose significant taxes on services delivered via the
Internet it could change our cost structure and/or affect our
business model. The significant changes in regulatory costs or new
limitations on Internet use could impact our ability to operate as
we anticipate, could damage our reputation with our customers,
disrupt our business or result in, among other things, decreased
net revenue and increased overhead costs. As a result, any such
failure could harm our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Our securities, as offered hereby, are highly speculative and
should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose their
entire investment in us. Each prospective investor should carefully
consider the following risk factors, as well as all other
information set forth elsewhere in this prospectus, before
purchasing any of the shares of our common stock.
Increasing regulation
of our Internet-based products and services could adversely affect
our ability to provide new products and services.
On February 26, 2015, the FCC adopted a new "network
neutrality" or Open Internet order (the "2015 Order") that:
(1) reclassified broadband Internet access service as a Title
II common carrier service, (2) applied certain existing Title
II provisions and associated regulations; (3) forbore from
applying a range of other existing Title II provisions and
associated regulations, but to varying degrees indicated that this
forbearance may be only temporary and (4) issued new rules
expanding disclosure requirements and prohibiting blocking,
throttling, paid prioritization and unreasonable interference with
the ability of end users and edge providers to reach each other.
The 2015 Order also subjected broadband providers' Internet traffic
exchange rates and practices to potential FCC oversight and created
a mechanism for third parties to file complaints regarding these
matters. The 2015 Order could limit our ability to efficiently
manage our cable systems and respond to operational and competitive
challenges. In December 2017, the FCC adopted an order (the "2017
Order") that in large part reverses the 2015 Order. The 2017 Order
has not yet gone into effect, however, and the 2015 Order will
remain binding until the 2017 Order takes effect. The 2017 Order is
expected to be subject to legal challenge that may delay its effect
or overturn it. Additionally, Congress and some states are
considering legislation that may codify "network neutrality"
rules.
Offering telephone
services may subject us to additional regulatory burdens, causing
us to incur additional costs.
We offer telephone services over our broadband network and continue
to develop and deploy interconnected VoIP services. The FCC has
ruled that competitive telephone companies that support VoIP
services, such as those that we offer to our customers, are
entitled to interconnect with incumbent providers of traditional
telecommunications services, which ensures that our VoIP services
can operate in the market. However, the scope of these
interconnection rights are being reviewed in a current FCC
proceeding, which may affect our ability to compete in the
provision of telephony services or result in additional costs. It
remains unclear precisely to what extent federal and state
regulators will subject VoIP services to traditional telephone
service regulation. Expanding our offering of these services may
require us to obtain certain authorizations, including federal and
state licenses. We may not be able to obtain such authorizations in
a timely manner, or conditions could be imposed upon such licenses
or authorizations that may not be favorable to us. The FCC has
already extended certain traditional telecommunications
requirements, such as E911 capabilities, Universal Service Fund
contribution, Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act
("CALEA"), measures to protect Customer Proprietary Network
Information, customer privacy, disability access, number porting,
battery back-up, network outage reporting, rural call completion
reporting and other regulatory requirements to many VoIP providers
such as us. If additional telecommunications regulations are
applied to our VoIP service, it could cause us to incur additional
costs and may otherwise materially adversely impact our operations.
In 2011, the FCC released an order significantly changing the rules
governing intercarrier compensation for the origination and
termination of telephone traffic between interconnected carriers.
These rules have resulted in a substantial decrease in interstate
compensation payments over a multi-year period. The FCC is
currently considering additional reforms that could further reduce
interstate compensation payments. Further, although the FCC
recently declined to impose additional regulatory burdens on
certain point to point transport ("special access") services
provided by cable companies, that FCC decision has been appealed by
multiple parties. If those appeals are successfully, there could be
additional regulatory burdens and additional costs placed on these
services.
We may engage in
acquisitions and other strategic transactions and the integration
of such acquisitions and other strategic transactions could
materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
Our business has grown significantly as a result of acquisitions,
including the Acquisitions, which entail numerous risks
including:
|
·
|
distraction of our management team
in identifying potential acquisition targets, conducting due
diligence and negotiating acquisition agreements; |
|
·
|
difficulties in integrating the
operations, personnel, products, technologies and systems of
acquired businesses; |
|
·
|
difficulties in enhancing our
customer support resources to adequately service our existing
customers and the customers of acquired businesses; |
|
·
|
the potential loss of key employees
or customers of the acquired businesses; |
|
·
|
unanticipated liabilities or
contingencies of acquired businesses; |
|
·
|
unbudgeted costs which we may incur
in connection with pursuing potential acquisitions which are not
consummated; |
|
·
|
failure to achieve projected cost
savings or cash flow from acquired businesses, which are based on
projections that are inherently uncertain; |
|
·
|
fluctuations in our operating
results caused by incurring considerable expenses to acquire and
integrate businesses before receiving the anticipated revenues
expected to result from the acquisitions; and |
|
·
|
difficulties in obtaining
regulatory approvals required to consummate acquisitions. |
We also participate in competitive bidding processes, some of which
may involve significant cable systems. If we are the winning bidder
in any such process involving significant cable systems or we
otherwise engage in acquisitions or other strategic transactions in
the future, we may incur additional debt, contingent liabilities
and amortization expenses, which could materially adversely affect
our business, financial condition and results of operations. We
could also issue substantial additional equity which could dilute
existing stockholders.
If our acquisitions, do not result in the anticipated operating
efficiencies, are not effectively integrated, or result in costs
which exceed our expectations, our business, financial condition
and results of operations could be materially adversely
affected.
Significant
unanticipated increases in the use of bandwidth-intensive
Internet-based services could increase our costs.
The rising popularity of bandwidth-intensive Internet-based
services poses risks for our broadband services. Examples of such
services include peer-to-peer file sharing services, gaming
services and the delivery of video via streaming technology and by
download. If heavy usage of bandwidth-intensive broadband services
grows beyond our current expectations, we may need to incur more
expenses than currently anticipated to expand the bandwidth
capacity of our systems or our customers could have a suboptimal
experience when using our broadband service. In order to continue
to provide quality service at attractive prices, we need the
continued flexibility to develop and refine business models that
respond to changing consumer uses and demands and to manage
bandwidth usage efficiently. Our ability to undertake such actions
could be restricted by regulatory and legislative efforts to impose
so-called "net neutrality" requirements on broadband communication
providers like us that provide broadband services. For more
information, see "Regulation—Broadband."
We operate in a highly
competitive business environment which could materially adversely
affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and
liquidity.
We operate in a highly competitive, consumer-driven industry and we
compete against a variety of broadband, pay television and
telephony providers and delivery systems, including broadband
communications companies, wireless data and telephony providers,
satellite-delivered video signals, Internet-delivered video content
and broadcast television signals available to residential and
business customers in our service areas. Some of our competitors
include AT&T and its DirecTV subsidiary, CenturyLink, DISH
Network, Frontier and Verizon. In addition, our pay television
services compete with all other sources of leisure, news,
information and entertainment, including movies, sporting or other
live events, radio broadcasts, home-video services, console games,
print media and the Internet.
In some instances, our competitors have fewer regulatory burdens,
easier access to financing, greater resources, greater operating
capabilities and efficiencies of scale, stronger brand-name
recognition, longstanding relationships with regulatory authorities
and customers, more subscribers, more flexibility to offer
promotional packages at prices lower than ours and greater access
to programming or other services. This competition creates pressure
on our pricing and has adversely affected, and may continue to
affect, our ability to add and retain customers, which in turn
adversely affects our business, financial condition and results of
operations. The effects of competition may also adversely affect
our liquidity and ability to service our debt. For example, we face
intense competition from Verizon and AT&T, which have network
infrastructure throughout our service areas. We estimate that
competitors are currently able to sell a fiber-based triple play,
including broadband, pay television and telephony services, and may
expand these and other service offerings to our potential
customers.
Our competitive risks are heightened by the rapid technological
change inherent in our business, evolving consumer preferences and
the need to acquire, develop and adopt new technology to
differentiate our products and services from those of our
competitors, and to meet consumer demand. We may need to anticipate
far in advance which technology we should use for the development
of new products and services or the enhancement of existing
products and services. The failure to accurately anticipate such
changes may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain
customers, which in turn could adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Consolidation and
cooperation in our industry may allow our competitors to acquire
service capabilities or offer products that are not available to us
or offer similar products and services at prices lower than ours.
For example, Comcast and Charter Communications have agreed to
jointly explore operational efficiencies to speed their respective
entries into the wireless market, including in the areas of
creating common operating platforms and emerging wireless
technology platforms. In addition, changes in the regulatory and
legislative environments may result in changes to the competitive
landscape.
In addition, certain of our competitors own directly or are
affiliated with companies that own programming content or have
exclusive arrangements with content providers that may enable them
to obtain lower programming costs or offer exclusive programming
that may be attractive to prospective subscribers. For example,
DirecTV has exclusive arrangements with the National Football
League that give it access to programming we cannot offer. AT&T
also has an agreement to acquire Time Warner, which owns a number
of cable networks, including TBS, CNN and HBO, as well as Warner
Bros. Entertainment, which produces television, film and home-video
content. AT&T's and DirecTV's potential access to Time Warner
programming could allow AT&T and DirecTV to offer competitive
and promotional packages that could negatively affect our ability
to maintain or increase our existing customers and revenues. DBS
operators such as DISH Network and DirecTV also have marketing
arrangements with certain phone companies in which the DBS
provider's pay television services are sold together with the phone
company's broadband and mobile and traditional phone services.
Most broadband communications companies, which already have wired
networks, an existing customer base and other operational functions
in place (such as billing and service personnel), offer DSL
services. We believe DSL service competes with our broadband
service and is often offered at prices lower than our Internet
services. However, DSL is often offered at speeds lower than the
speeds we offer. In addition, DSL providers may currently be in a
better position to offer Internet services to businesses since
their networks tend to be more complete in commercial areas. They
may also increasingly have the ability to combine video services
with telephone and Internet services offered to their customers,
particularly as broadband communications companies enter into
co-marketing agreements with other service providers. In addition,
current and future fixed and wireless Internet services, such as
3G, 4G and 5G fixed and wireless broadband services and Wi-Fi
networks, and devices such as wireless data cards, tablets and
smartphones, and mobile wireless routers that connect to such
devices, may compete with our broadband services.
Our telephony services compete directly with established broadband
communications companies and other carriers, including wireless
providers, as increasing numbers of homes are replacing their
traditional telephone service with wireless telephone service. We
also compete against VoIP providers like Vonage, Skype, GoogleTalk,
Facetime, WhatsApp and magicJack that do not own networks but can
provide service to any person with a broadband connection, in some
cases free of charge. In addition, we compete against ILECs, other
CLECs and long-distance voice-service companies for large
commercial and enterprise customers. While we compete with the
ILECs, we also enter into interconnection agreements with ILECs so
that our customers can make and receive calls to and from customers
served by the ILECs and other telecommunications providers. Federal
and state law and regulations require ILECs to enter into such
agreements and provide facilities and services necessary for
connection, at prices subject to regulation. The specific price,
terms and conditions of each agreement, however, depend on the
outcome of negotiations between us and each ILEC. Interconnection
agreements are also subject to approval by the state regulatory
commissions, which may arbitrate negotiation impasses. These
agreements, like all interconnection agreements, are for limited
terms and upon expiration are subject to renegotiation, potential
arbitration and approval under the laws in effect at that time.
We also face competition for our advertising sales from traditional
and non-traditional media outlets, including television and radio
stations, traditional print media and the Internet.
We face significant
risks as a result of rapid changes in technology, consumer
expectations and behavior.
The broadband communications industry has undergone significant
technological development over time and these changes continue to
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Such changes have had, and will continue to have, a profound impact
on consumer expectations and behavior. Our video business faces
technological change risks as a result of the continuing
development of new and changing methods for delivery of programming
content such as Internet-based delivery of movies, shows and other
content which can be viewed on televisions, wireless devices and
other developing mobile devices. Consumers' video consumption
patterns are also evolving, for example, with more content being
downloaded for time-shifted consumption. A proliferation of
delivery systems for video content can adversely affect our ability
to attract and retain subscribers and the demand for our services
and it can also decrease advertising demand on our delivery
systems. Our broadband business faces technological challenges from
rapidly evolving wireless Internet solutions. Our telephony service
offerings face technological developments in the proliferation of
telephony delivery systems including those based on Internet and
wireless delivery. If we do not develop or acquire and successfully
implement new technologies, we will limit our ability to compete
effectively for subscribers, content and advertising. We cannot
provide any assurance that we will realize, in full or in part, the
anticipated benefits we expect from the introduction of new
technologies, or that any new technologies will be rolled out
across our footprint in the timeframe we anticipate. In addition,
we may be required to make material capital and other investments
to anticipate and to keep up with technological change. These
challenges could adversely affect our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
Our revenues and growth
may be constrained due to demand exceeding capacity of our systems
or our inability to develop solutions.
We anticipate generating revenues in the future from broadband
connectivity, other Internet services, and broadband and in the
cloud services. Demand and market acceptance for these recently
introduced services and products delivered over the Internet is
uncertain. Critical issues concerning the use of the Internet, such
as ease of access, security, reliability, cost and quality of
service, exist and may affect the growth of Internet use or the
attractiveness of conducting commerce online. In addition, the
Internet and online services may not be accepted as viable for a
number of reasons, including potentially inadequate development of
the necessary network infrastructure or delayed development of
enabling technologies and performance improvements. To the extent
that the Internet and online services continue to experience
significant growth, there can be no assurance that the
infrastructure of the Internet and online services will prove
adequate to support increased user demands. In addition, the
Internet or online services could lose their viability due to
delays in the development or adoption of new standards and
protocols required to handle increased levels of Internet or online
service activity. Changes in, or insufficient availability of,
telecommunications services to support the Internet or online
services also could result in slower response times and adversely
affect usage of the Internet and online services generally and us
in particular. If use of the Internet and online services does not
continue to grow or grows more slowly than expected, if the
infrastructure for the Internet and online services does not
effectively support growth that may occur, or if the Internet and
online services do not become a viable commercial marketplace, our
business could be adversely affected.
Certain aspects of our VoIP telephony services differ from
traditional telephone service. The factors that may have this
effect include:
|
•
|
our subscribers may experience lower call quality than they
experience with traditional wireline telephone companies, including
static, echoes and transmission delays;
|
|
•
|
our subscribers may experience higher dropped-call rates than they
experience with traditional wireline telephone
companies; and
|
|
•
|
a power loss or Internet access interruption causes our service to
be interrupted.
|
Additionally, our VoIP emergency calling service is significantly
more limited than the emergency calling services offered by
traditional telephone companies. Our VoIP emergency calling service
can only transmit to a dispatcher at a public safety answering
point, or PSAP, the location information that the subscriber has
registered with us, which may at times be different from the actual
location at the time of the call. As a result, our emergency
calling systems may not assure that the appropriate PSAP is reached
and may cause significant delays, or even failures, in callers’
receipt of emergency assistance. Our failure to develop or operate
an adequate emergency calling service could subject us to
substantial liabilities and may result in delays in subscriber
adoption of our VoIP telephony services or all of our services,
abandonment of our services by subscribers, and litigation costs,
damage awards and negative publicity, any of which could harm our
business, prospects, financial condition or results of
operations.
If our subscribers do not accept the differences between our VoIP
telephony services and traditional telephone service, they may not
adopt or keep our VoIP telephony services or our other services, or
may choose to retain or return to service provided by traditional
telephone companies. Because VoIP telephony services represent an
important aspect of our business strategy, failure to achieve
subscribers’ acceptance of our VoIP telephony services may
adversely affect our prospects, results of operations and the
trading price of our shares.
We rely on contract
manufacturers and a limited number of third-party suppliers to
produce our network equipment and to maintain our network sites. If
these companies fail to perform, we may have a shortage of
components and may be required to suspend our network deployment
and our product and service introduction.
We depend on contract manufacturers, to produce and deliver
acceptable, high quality products on a timely basis. We also depend
on a limited number of third parties to maintain our network
facilities. If our contract manufacturer or other providers do not
satisfy our requirements, or if we lose our contract manufacturers
or any other significant provider, we may have an insufficient
network services for delivery to subscribers, we may be forced to
suspend portions of our wireless broadband network, enrollment of
new subscribers, and product sales and our business, prospects,
financial condition and operating results may be harmed.
We rely on highly
skilled executives and other personnel. If we cannot retain and
motivate key personnel, we may be unable to implement our business
strategy.
We will be highly dependent on the scientific, technical, and
managerial skills of certain key employees, including technical,
research and development, sales, marketing, financial and executive
personnel, and on our ability to identify, hire and retain
additional personnel. To accommodate our current size and manage
our anticipated growth, we must expand our employee base.
Competition for key personnel, particularly persons having
technical expertise, is intense, and there can be no assurance that
we will be able to retain existing personnel or to identify or hire
additional personnel. The need for such personnel is particularly
important given the strains on our existing infrastructure and the
need to anticipate the demands of future growth. In particular, we
are highly dependent on the continued services of our senior
management team, which currently is composed of a small number of
individuals. We do not maintain key-man life insurance on the life
of any employee. The inability of us to attract, hire or retain the
necessary technical, sales, marketing, financial and executive
personnel, or the loss of the services of any member of our senior
management team, could have a material adverse effect on us.
Our future success depends largely on the expertise and reputation
of our founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Stephen J.
Thomas, Richard Eberhardt, and the other members of our senior
management team. In addition, we intend to hire additional highly
skilled individuals to staff our operations. Loss of any of our key
personnel or the inability to recruit and retain qualified
individuals could adversely affect our ability to implement our
business strategy and operate our business.
We are currently managed by a small number of key management and
operating personnel. Our future success depends, in part, on our
ability to recruit and retain qualified personnel. Failure to do so
likely would have an adverse impact on our business and the trading
price of our common stock.
If our data security
measures are breached, subscribers may perceive our network and
services as not secure.
Our network security and the authentication of the subscriber’s
credentials are designed to protect unauthorized access to data on
our network. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access
to or to sabotage networks change frequently and may not be
recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to
anticipate or implement adequate preventive measures against
unauthorized access or sabotage. Consequently, unauthorized parties
may overcome our encryption and security systems and obtain access
to data on our network, including on a device connected to our
network. In addition, because we operate and control our network
and our subscribers’ Internet connectivity, unauthorized access or
sabotage of our network could result in damage to our network and
to the computers or other devices used by our subscribers. An
actual or perceived breach of network security, regardless of
whether the breach is our fault, could harm public perception of
the effectiveness of our security measures, adversely affect our
ability to attract and retain subscribers, expose us to significant
liability and adversely affect our business prospects.
Our activities outside
the United States could disrupt our
operations.
We intend to invest in various international companies and spectrum
opportunities through acquisitions and strategic alliances as these
opportunities arise. Our activities outside the United States
operate in environments different from the one we face in the
United States, particularly with respect to competition and
regulation. Due to these differences, our activities outside the
United States may require a disproportionate amount of our
management and financial resources, which could disrupt our U.S.
operations and adversely affect our business.
In a number of international markets, we face substantial
competition from local service providers that offer or may offer
their own wireless broadband or VoIP telephony services and from
other companies that provide Internet connectivity services. We may
face heightened challenges in gaining market share, particularly in
certain European countries, where a large portion of the population
already has broadband Internet connectivity and incumbent companies
already have a dominant market share in their service areas.
Furthermore, foreign providers of competing services may have a
substantial advantage over us in attracting subscribers due to a
more established brand, greater knowledge of local subscribers’
preferences and access to significant financial or strategic
resources.
In addition, foreign regulatory authorities frequently own or
control the incumbent telecommunications companies operating under
their jurisdiction. Established relationships between
government-owned or government-controlled telecommunications
companies and their traditional local providers of
telecommunications services often limit access of third parties to
these markets. The successful expansion of our international
operations in some markets will depend on our ability to locate,
form and maintain strong relationships with established local
communication services and equipment providers. Failure to
establish these relationships or to market or sell our products and
services successfully could limit our ability to attract
subscribers to our services.
We may be unable to
protect our intellectual property, which could reduce the value of
our services and our brand.
Our ability to compete effectively depends on our ability to
protect our proprietary technologies, system designs and
manufacturing processes. We may not be able to safeguard and
maintain our proprietary rights. We rely on patents, trademarks and
policies and procedures related to confidentiality to protect our
intellectual property. Some of our intellectual property, however,
is not covered by any of these protections.
We could be subject to
claims that we have infringed on the proprietary rights of others,
which claims would likely be costly to defend, could require us to
pay damages and could limit our ability to use necessary
technologies in the future.
Our competitors may independently develop or patent technologies or
processes that are substantially equivalent or superior to ours.
These competitors may claim that our services and products infringe
on these patents or other proprietary rights. Defending against
infringement claims, even merit less ones, would be time consuming,
distracting and costly. If we are found to be infringing
proprietary rights of a third party, we could be enjoined from
using such third party’s rights and be required to pay substantial
royalties and damages and may no longer be able to use the
intellectual property on acceptable terms or at all. Failure to
obtain licenses to intellectual property could delay or prevent the
development, manufacture or sale of our products or services and
could cause us to expend significant resources to develop or
acquire non-infringing intellectual property.
Our business depends on
our brand, and if we do not maintain and enhance our brand, our
ability to attract and retain subscribers may be impaired and our
business and operating results harmed.
We believe that our brand is a critical part of our business.
Maintaining and enhancing our brand may require us to make
substantial investments with no assurance that these investments
will be successful. If we fail to promote and maintain our brands,
or if we incur significant expenses in this effort, our business,
prospects, operating results and financial condition may be harmed.
We anticipate that maintaining and enhancing our brand will become
increasingly important, difficult and expensive.
We are subject to
extensive regulation.
Our acquisition, lease, maintenance and use of spectrum licenses
are extensively regulated by federal, state, local, and foreign
governmental entities. A number of other federal, state, local and
foreign privacy, security and consumer laws also apply to our
business. These regulations and their application are subject to
continual change as new legislation, regulations or amendments to
existing regulations are adopted from time to time by governmental
or regulatory authorities, including as a result of judicial
interpretations of such laws and regulations. Current regulations
directly affect the breadth of services we are able to offer and
may impact the rates, terms and conditions of our services.
Regulation of companies that offer competing services, such as
cable and DSL providers and incumbent telecommunications carriers,
also affects our business indirectly.
We are also subject to regulation because we provide VoIP telephony
services. As an “interconnected” VoIP provider, we are required
under FCC rules, to comply with the Communications Assistance for
Law Enforcement Act, or CALEA, which requires service providers to
build certain capabilities into their networks and to accommodate
wiretap requests from law enforcement agencies.
In addition, the FCC or other regulatory authorities may in the
future restrict our ability to manage subscribers’ use of our
network, thereby limiting our ability to prevent or address
subscribers’ excessive bandwidth demands. To maintain the quality
of our network and user experience, we manage the bandwidth used by
our subscribers’ applications, in part by restricting the types of
applications that may be used over our network. Some providers and
users of these applications have objected to this practice. If the
FCC or other regulatory authorities were to adopt regulations that
constrain our ability to employ bandwidth management practices,
excessive use of bandwidth-intensive applications would likely
reduce the quality of our services for all subscribers. Such
decline in the quality of our services could harm our business.
In certain of our international markets, the services provided by
our business may require receipt of a license from national,
provincial or local regulatory authorities. Where required,
regulatory authorities may have significant discretion in granting
the licenses and in the term of the licenses and are often under no
obligation to renew the licenses when they expire.
The breach of a license or applicable law, even if inadvertent, can
result in the revocation, suspension, cancellation or reduction in
the term of a license or the imposition of fines. In addition,
regulatory authorities may grant new licenses to third parties,
resulting in greater competition in territories where we already
have rights to licensed spectrum. In order to promote competition,
licenses may also require that third parties be granted access to
our bandwidth, frequency capacity, facilities or services. We may
not be able to obtain or retain any required license, and we may
not be able to renew a license on favorable terms, or at all.
Our wireless broadband and VoIP telephony services may become
subject to greater state or federal regulation in the future. The
scope of the regulations that may apply to VoIP telephony services
providers and the impact of such regulations on providers’
competitive position are presently unknown.
Our Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer is also our largest stockholder, and as a result
he can exert control over us and has actual or potential interests
that may diverge from yours.
Mr. Thomas may have interests that diverge from those of other
holders of our common stock and he owns our super majority voting
Series A stock. As a result, Mr. Thomas may vote the shares he owns
or otherwise cause us to take actions that may conflict with your
best interests as a stockholder, which could adversely affect our
results of operations and the trading price of our common
stock.
Through his control, Mr. Thomas can control our management,
affairs and all matters requiring stockholder approval, including
the approval of significant corporate transactions, a sale of our
company, decisions about our capital structure and, the composition
of our board of directors.
COVID-19 effects on the
economy may negatively affect our Company business.
In December 2019, COVID-19 emerged and has subsequently spread
worldwide. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a
pandemic resulting in federal, state and local governments and
private entities mandating various restrictions, including travel
restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home
orders and advisories and quarantining of people who may have been
exposed to the virus.
As the COVID-19 pandemic is complex and rapidly evolving, the
Company's business may be negatively affected for a sustained time
frame. At this point, we cannot reasonably estimate the duration
and severity of this pandemic, which could have a material adverse
impact on our business, results of operations, financial position
and cash flows.
RISK FACTORS RELATED
TO OUR STOCK
We can give no
assurance of success or profitability to our
investors.
Cash flows generated from operating activities were not enough to
support all working capital requirements for the nine months ended
September 30, 2021 and 2020. Financing activities described below
have helped with working capital and other capital
requirements.
We incurred $8,671,819 and $4,881,030, respectively, in losses, and
we used $320,999 and $216,685, respectively, in cash from
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
We calculate the net cash used by operating activities by
decreasing, or increasing in case of gain, our let loss by those
items that do not require the use of cash such as depreciation,
amortization, promissory note issued for research and development,
note payable issued for legal fees, derivative expense or gain,
gain on extinguishment of debt, loss on conversion of notes
payable, impairment of goodwill and long-loved assts and
share-based compensation which totaled to a net $4,456,370 for 2021
and $3,126,979 for 2020.
In addition, we report increases and reductions in liabilities as
uses of cash and deceases assets and increases in liabilities as
sources of cash, together referred to as changes in operating
assets and liabilities. For the nine months ended September 30,
2021, we had a net increase in our assets and liabilities of
$3,894,450 primarily from an increase in accounts payable from lag
of payments for accounts payable for cash flow considerations and
an increase in the balances from our operating lease liabilities.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net increase
to our assets and liabilities of $1,537,366 for similar
reasons.
Cash flows from financing activities were $773,387 and $724,356 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, these cash flows were
generated primarily from proceeds from sale of Series D Preferred
Stock of $233,244 and common stock of $610,502, proceeds from
convertible notes, loans and advances of $1,961,685 offset by
payment on convertible loans, advances and factoring agreements of
$2,024,497 and payments on convertible notes and amounts payable –
related party of $5,827. For the nine months ended September 30,
2020, cash flows from financing activities primarily came from
proceeds from convertible notes, loans and advances of $1,311,800
offset by payments on convertible loans, advances and factoring
agreements of $818,978 and payments on convertible notes and
amounts payable – related parties of $130,349.
Cash flows used in investing activities were $219,298 and $429,886,
respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and
2020. These cash flows were used for the purchase of equipment.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern for a period of one year
from the issuance of these financial statements. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.
In December 2019, COVID-19 emerged and has subsequently spread
worldwide. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a
pandemic resulting in federal, state and local governments and
private entities mandating various restrictions, including travel
restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home
orders and advisories and quarantining of people who may have been
exposed to the virus. After close monitoring and responses and
guidance from federal, state and local governments, in an effort to
mitigate the spread of COVID-19, around March 18, 2020 for a period
of time, the Company closed its Blue Collar office in Los Angeles,
and its TPT SpeedConnect offices in Michigan, Idaho and
Arizona. Most employees were working remotely, however this
was not possible with certain employees and all subcontractors that
work for Blue Collar. The Company continues to monitor
developments, including government requirements and recommendations
at the national, state, and local level to evaluate possible
extensions to all or part of such closures.
The Company has taken advantage of the stimulus offerings and
received $722,200 in April 2020 and $680,500 in February
2021. The Company applied for forgiveness of these amounts and
$722,200 was forgiven as of September 30, 2021 and the remainder
was forgiven subsequent to September 30, 2021. The Company will try
and take advantage of additional stimulus as it is available.
The Company is also in the process of raising debt and equity
financing. Through September 30, 2021, the Company raised
$843,746 from sales of Common Stock and Series D Preferred Stock.
Most of this was by way of its agreement with White Lion where they
agreed to provide the Company of up to $5,000,000 through a
registration statement that was filed with the SEC. In addition,
subsequent to September 30, 2021, the Company entered securities
purchase agreements for a total of $2,174,000 with which it drew
upon and was able to pay off certain debt and address working
capital issues.
In order for us to continue as a going concern for a period of one
year from the issuance of these financial statements, we will need
to obtain additional debt or equity financing and look for
companies with cash flow positive operations that we can acquire.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional
debt or equity financing, that we will be able to acquire cash flow
positive operations, or that, if we are successful in any of those
actions, those actions will produce adequate cash flow to enable us
to meet all our future obligations. Most of our existing financing
arrangements are short-term. If we are unable to obtain additional
debt or equity financing, we may be required to significantly
reduce or cease operations.
Sales of common stock
resulting from issuances of common stock for conversions by our
convertible noteholders or Rule 144 sales in the future will have a
depressive effect on our common stock price.
Most of our convertible noteholders have rights to convert their
notes at significant discounts to the market prices as shown in the
schedule below, for sale under the requirements of Rule 144 or
other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and
perhaps under registration statements which the company is
preparing to file in the next thirty days. Rule 144 provides in
essence that a person who has held restricted securities for six
months or is deemed to have held them due to the issuance by the
Company of convertible notes under certain conditions, may sell
those shares in brokerage transactions. There is no limit on the
amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate
after the owner has held the restricted securities for a period of
six months. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from
the Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registration of
shares of common stock of present stockholders underlying the
convertible notes, will have a depressive effect upon the price of
the common stock in the market, since they are issued at a discount
to market-often 50-60% of the lowest bid for differing periods, and
sales can be expected at some discounted prices, with larger than
normal volumes. We have also issued preferred stock and options and
warrants that allow for the purchase of shares at significant
discounts to the market prices, often 50% of the ten-day low bids,
or other highly discounted rates, which would allow the holders of
those warrants to sell shares into the market at a profit over
their discounted price, which could have the effect of depressing
the price of the shares in the market.
As of September 30, 2021, we had the following convertible
promissory notes, preferred stock and options and warrants
outstanding that are convertible into common shares as follows:

On October 14, 2017, the Board of Directors and majority
stockholders of TPT approved the 2017 TPT Global Tech, Inc. Stock
Option and Award Incentive Plan (“the 2017 Plan.”) There are
20,000,000 shares of our common stock reserved under the 2017
Plan.
Warrants
The Company has 1,000,000 warrants outstanding that expire in five
years or in the year ended December 31, 2024. As part of the
Convertible Promissory Notes payable – third party issuance in Note
5, the Company issued warrants to purchase common shares of the
Company at 70% of the current market price, of which 1,000,000
warrants remain outstanding. Current market price means the average
of the three lowest trading prices for our common stock during the
ten-trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day
prior to the date of the respective exercise notice.
The exercise of the options, warrants, convertible promissory notes
and Series A, B, C, D and E Series Preferred Stock into shares of
our common stock could have a dilutive effect to the holdings of
our existing shareholders.
We may in the future
issue more shares which could cause a loss of control by our
present management and current stockholders.
We may issue further shares as consideration for the cash or assets
or services out of our authorized but unissued common stock that
would, upon issuance, represent a majority of the voting power and
equity of our Company. The result of such an issuance would be
those new stockholders and management would control our Company,
and persons unknown could replace our management at this time. Such
an occurrence would result in a greatly reduced percentage of
ownership of our Company by our current shareholders, which could
present significant risks to investors.
Our officers and
directors may have conflicts of interests as to corporate
opportunities which we may not be able or allowed to participate
in.
Presently there is no requirement contained in our Articles of
Incorporation, Bylaws, or minutes which requires officers and
directors of our business to disclose to us business opportunities
which come to their attention. Our officers and directors do,
however, have a fiduciary duty of loyalty to us to disclose to us
any business opportunities which come to their attention, in their
capacity as an officer and/or director or otherwise. Excluded from
this duty would be opportunities which the person learns about
through his involvement as an officer and director of another
company. We have no intention of merging with or acquiring business
opportunity from any affiliate or officer or director. (See
“Conflicts of Interest” at pages 85-86.)
We have agreed to
indemnification of officers and directors as is provided by Florida
Statutes.
Florida Statutes provide for the indemnification of our directors,
officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances,
against attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by them in any
litigation to which they become a party arising from their
association with or activities our behalf. We will also bear the
expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers,
employees, or agents, upon such person’s promise to repay us
therefore if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall
not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification
policy could result in substantial expenditures by us that we will
be unable to recoup.
Our directors’
liability to us and shareholders is limited.
Florida Statutes exclude personal liability of our directors and
our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty
except in certain specified circumstances. Accordingly, we will
have a much more limited right of action against our directors that
otherwise would be the case. This provision does not affect the
liability of any director under federal or applicable state
securities laws.
Our Stock prices in the
Market may be volatile.
The value of our Common stock following this offering may be highly
volatile and could be subject to fluctuations in price in response
to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. These
factors include:

In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for shares
of technology companies in particular, has experienced price and
volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or
disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies.
We expect the value of our common stock will be subject to such
fluctuations.
We may not be able to
successfully implement our business strategy without substantial
additional capital. Any such failure may adversely affect the
business and results of operations.
Unless we can generate revenues sufficient to implement our
Business Plan, we will need to obtain additional financing through
debt or bank financing, or through the sale of shareholder
interests to execute our Business Plan. We expect to need at least
$38,000,000 in the next twelve months in capital or loans to
complete our plans and operations for which this offering is
intended to provide funds. We may not be able to obtain this
financing at all. We have not sought commitments for this
financing, and we have no terms for either debt or equity
financing, and we realize that it may be difficult to obtain on
favorable terms. Moreover, if we issue additional equity securities
to support our operations, Investor holdings may be diluted. Our
business plans are at risk if we cannot continually achieve
additional capital raising to complete our plans.
We are reliant, in
part, on third party sales organizations, which may not perform as
we expect.
We, from time to time rely on the sales force of third-party sales
organizations with support from our own selling resources. The
third-party relationships and internal organization are not fully
developed at this time and must be developed. We may not be able to
hire effective inside salespeople to help our third-party sales
organizations close sales. There is no assurance that any
approaches will improve sales. Further, using only a direct sales
force would be less cost-effective than our plan to use third-party
sales organizations. In addition, a direct sales model may be
ineffective if we were unable to hire and retain qualified
salespeople and if the sales force fails to complete sales.
Moreover, even if we successfully implement our business strategy,
we may not have positive operating results. We may decide to alter
or discontinue aspects of our business strategy and may adopt
different strategies due to business or competitive factors.
Our growth may be
affected adversely if our sales of products and services are
negatively affected by competition or other
factors.
The growth of our business is dependent, in large part, upon the
development of sales for our services and product offerings. Market
opportunities that we expect to exist may not develop as expected,
or at all. For example, a substantial percentage of our service
offerings is oriented around data access. If lower cost
alternatives are developed, our sales would decrease and our
operating results would be negatively affected. Moreover, even if
market opportunities develop as expected, new technologies and
services offerings introduced by competitors may significantly
limit our ability to capitalize on any such market opportunity. Our
failure to capitalize on expected market opportunities would
adversely affect revenue growth.
The lack of operating history and the rapidly changing nature of
the market in which we compete make it difficult to accurately
forecast revenues and operating results. We anticipate that
revenues and operating results might fluctuate in the future due to
a number of factors including the following:
|
•
|
the timing of sales for current services and products offerings
|
|
•
|
the timing of new product implementations
|
|
•
|
unexpected delays in introducing new services and products
offerings
|
|
•
|
increased expense related to sales and marketing, product
development or administration
|
|
•
|
the mix of products and our services offerings
|
|
•
|
costs related to possible acquisitions of technology or
business.
|
|
•
|
costs of providing services
|
We may be unable to
compete with larger, more established competitors.
The market for providing network delivered service solutions is
competitive. We expect competition to intensify in the future. Many
of our potential competitors have longer operating histories,
larger customer bases, greater recognition and significantly
greater resources. As a result, competitors may be able to respond
more quickly to emerging technologies and changes in customer
requirements than we can. The continuous and timely introduction of
competitively priced services offerings into the market is critical
to our success, and there can be no assurance that we will be able
to introduce such services offerings. We may not be able to compete
successfully against competitors, and the competitive pressures we
face may have an adverse effect on our business.
Our common stock will
in all likelihood be thinly traded and as a result you may be
unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to
liquidate your shares, after any conversion from Preferred
Stock.
The shares of our common stock may be thinly-traded on the OTC
Market, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing
our common shares at or near ask prices at any given time may be
relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to
a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company
which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers,
institutional investors and others in the investment community that
generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the
attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be
reluctant to follow an unproven, early stage company such as ours
or purchase or recommend the purchase of any of our Securities
until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a
consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when
trading activity in our Securities is minimal or non-existent, as
compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume
of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales
without an adverse effect on Securities price. We cannot give you
any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market
for our common Securities will develop or be sustained, or that any
trading levels will be sustained. Due to these conditions, we can
give investors no assurance that they will be able to sell their
shares at or near ask prices or at all if they need money or
otherwise desire to liquidate their securities of our Company.
The regulation of penny
stocks by SEC and FINRA may discourage the tradability of our
common stock or other securities.
We are a “penny stock” company. Our common stock currently trades
on the OTCQB under the symbol “TPTW” and will be subject to a
Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales
practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities
to persons other than established customers or accredited
investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase “accredited
investors” means, in general terms, institutions with assets in
excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess
of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or
that, when combined with a spouse’s income, exceeds $300,000). For
transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a
special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the
purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale.
Effectively, this discourages broker-dealers from executing trades
in penny stocks. Consequently, the rule will affect the ability of
purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market
that might develop therefore because it imposes additional
regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.
In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a
number of rules to regulate “penny stocks". Such rules include
Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and
15g-9 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Because our securities constitute “penny stocks” within the meaning
of the rules, the rules would apply to us and to our securities.
The rules will further affect the ability of owners of shares to
sell our securities in any market that might develop for them
because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock
transactions.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and
Exchange Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in
recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns
include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few
broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
(ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of
purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii)
“boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and
unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv)
excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by
selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same
securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been
manipulated to a desired consequent investor losses. Our management
is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny
stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to
dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who
participate in the market, management will strive within the
confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns
from being established with respect to our securities.
Inventory in penny stocks have limited remedies in the event of
violations of penny stock rules. While the courts are always
available to seek remedies for fraud against us, most, if not all,
brokerages require their customers to sign mandatory arbitration
agreements in conjunctions with opening trading accounts. Such
arbitration may be through an independent arbiter. Investors may
file a complaint with FINRA against the broker allegedly at fault,
and FINRA may be the arbiter, under FINRA rules. Arbitration rules
generally limit discovery and provide more expedient adjudication,
but also provide limited remedies in damages usually only the
actual economic loss in the account. Investors should understand
that if a fraud case is filed against a company in the courts it
may be vigorously defended and may take years and great legal
expenses and costs to pursue, which may not be economically
feasible for small investors.
That absent arbitration agreements related to brokerage accounts,
specific legal remedies available to investors of penny stocks
include the following:
If a penny stock is sold to the investor in violation of the
requirements listed above, or other federal or states securities
laws, the investor may be able to cancel the purchase and receive a
refund of the investment.
If a penny stock is sold to the investor in a fraudulent manner,
the investor may be able to sue the persons and firms that
committed the fraud for damages.
The fact that we are a penny stock company will cause many brokers
to refuse to handle transactions in the stocks, and may discourage
trading activity and volume, or result in wide disparities between
bid and ask prices. These may cause investors significant
illiquidity of the stock at a price at which they may wish to sell
or in the opportunity to complete a sale. Investors will have no
effective legal remedies for these illiquidity issues.
We will pay no
dividends in the foreseeable future on common
stock.
We have not paid dividends on our common stock and do not
anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future. The
Series D Preferred Stock will be paid 6% per annum on a cumulative
basis, in cash or in registered common stock.
Rule 144 sales of stock
in the future may have a depressive effect on our stock
price.
All of the outstanding shares of common stock held by our present
officers, directors, and affiliate stockholders are “restricted
securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended. As restricted Shares, common shares may be
resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or
under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions
from registration under the Act and as required under applicable
state securities laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person
who has held restricted securities for six months, under certain
conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a
number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1.0% of a
company’s outstanding common stock or the average weekly trading
volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale. There is
no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by
a non-affiliate after the owner has held the restricted securities
for a period of six months. A sale under Rule 144 or under any
other exemption from the Act, if available, or pursuant to
subsequent registration of shares of common stock of present
stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the
common stock in any market that may develop.
Any sales of our common
stock, if in significant amounts, are likely to depress the future
market price of our securities.
Assuming all of the shares of common stock held by the selling
security holders registered in a Form S-1 that became effective in
2019 and for which a Post-Effective Amendment was filed July 16,
2021 are sold, we would have 26,607,309 new shares that are freely
tradable and therefor available for sale, in market or private
transactions.
Unrestricted sales of 26,607,309 shares of stock by these selling
stockholders could have a huge negative impact on our share price,
and the market for our shares.
Any new potential
investors will suffer a disproportionate risk and there will be
immediate dilution of existing investor’s
investments.
Our present shareholders have acquired their securities at a cost
significantly less than that which the investors purchasing hereto
will pay for their stock holdings or at which future purchasers in
the market may pay. Therefore, any new potential investors will
bear most of the risk of loss.
We can issue future
series of shares of preferred stock without shareholder approval,
which could adversely affect the rights of common
shareholders.
Our Articles of Incorporation permit our Board of Directors to
establish the rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions,
including voting rights, of future series of stock and to issue
such stock without approval from our shareholders. The rights of
holders of common stock may suffer as a result of the rights
granted to holders of preferred stock that may be issued in the
future. In addition, we could issue preferred stock to prevent a
change in control of our Company, depriving common shareholders of
an opportunity to sell their stock at a price in excess of the
prevailing market price.
We are a reporting
company due to the effectiveness of this registration
statement.
We are subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934, Section 13a, due to the effectiveness of
this offering, pursuant to Section 15d of the Securities Act and we
intend to be registered under Section 12(g). As a result,
shareholders will have access to the information required to be
reported by publicly held companies under the Exchange Act and the
regulations thereunder. As a result, we will be subject to legal
and accounting expenses that private companies are not subject to
and this could affect our ability to generate operating income.
Sales of common stock
resulting from issuances of common stock for conversions by our
convertible noteholders or Rule 144 sales in the future will have a
depressive effect on our common stock price.
Most of our convertible noteholders have rights to convert their
notes at significant discounts to the market prices as shown in the
schedule below, for sale under the requirements of Rule 144 or
other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and
perhaps under registration statements which the company is
preparing to file in the next thirty days. Rule 144 provides in
essence that a person who has held restricted securities for six
months, or is deemed to have held them due to the issuance by the
Company of convertible notes under certain conditions, may sell
those shares in brokerage transactions. There is no limit on the
amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate
after the owner has held the restricted securities for a period of
six months. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from
the Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registration of
shares of common stock of present stockholders underlying the
convertible notes, will have a depressive effect upon the price of
the common stock in the market, since they are issued at a discount
to market-often 50-60% of the lowest bid for differing periods, and
sales can be expected at some discounted prices, with larger than
normal volumes. We have also issued warrants that allow for the
purchase of shares at significant discounts to the market prices,
often 50% of the ten day low bids, or other highly discounted
rates, which would allow the holders of those warrants to sell
shares into the market at a profit over their discounted price,
which could have the effect of depressing the price of the shares
in the market.
We
are an “emerging growth
company,” and any decision on our part to comply only with certain
reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth
companies” could make our Shares less attractive to
investors.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act,
and, for as long as we continue to be an “emerging growth company,”
we expect and fully intend to take advantage of exemptions from
various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies
but not to “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited
to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation
requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,
reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in
our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the
requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive
compensation and Member approval of any golden parachute payments
not previously approved. We could be an “emerging growth company”
for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of
the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1
billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer”
as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur
if the market value of our securities that are held by
non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of
our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the
date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in
non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an
“emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended
transition period provided in Section 7(a)2(B) of the Securities
Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In
other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of
certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise
apply to private companies. We have elected to opt into the
extended transition period for complying with the revised
accounting standards. We have elected to rely on these exemptions
and reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth
companies” and expect to continue to do so.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND POTENTIAL
LITIGATION
We may not be able to
protect our intellectual property and proprietary
rights.
There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain
intellectual property protection that will effectively prevent any
competitors from developing or marketing the same or a competing
technology. In addition, we cannot predict whether we will be
subject to intellectual property litigation the outcome of which is
subject to uncertainty and which can be very costly to pursue or
defend. We will attempt to continue to protect our proprietary
designs and to avoid infringing on the intellectual property of
third parties. However, there can be no assurance that we will be
able to protect our intellectual property or avoid suits by third
parties claiming intellectual property infringement.
If our patents and
other intellectual property rights do not adequately protect our
service offering, we may lose market share to competitors and be
unable to operate our business profitably.
Patents and other proprietary rights are anticipated to be of value
to our future business, and our ability to compete effectively with
other companies depends on the proprietary nature of our current or
future technologies. We also rely upon trade secrets, know-how,
continuing technological innovations and licensing opportunities to
develop, maintain, and strengthen our competitive position. We
cannot assure you that any future patent applications will result
in issued patents, that any patents issued or licensed to us will
not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented or that the rights
granted there under will provide a competitive advantage to us or
prevent competitors from entering markets which we currently serve.
Any required license may not be available to us on acceptable
terms, if at all or may become invalid if the licensee’s right to
such technology become challenged and/or revoked. In addition, some
licenses may be non-exclusive, and therefore competitors may have
access to the same technologies as we do. Furthermore, we may have
to take legal action in the future to protect our trade secrets or
know-how, or to defend them against claimed infringement of the
rights of others. Any legal action of that type could be costly and
time-consuming to us, and we cannot assure you that such actions
will be successful. The invalidation of key patents or proprietary
rights which we own or unsuccessful outcomes in lawsuits to protect
our intellectual property may have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may in the future
become subject to claims that some, or the entire service offering
violates the patent or intellectual property rights of others,
which could be costly and disruptive to us.
We operate in an industry that is susceptible to patent litigation.
As a result, we or the parties we license technology from may
become subject to patent infringement claims or litigation.
Further, one or more of our future patents or applications may
become subject to interference proceedings declared by the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office, (“USPTO”) or the foreign equivalents
thereof to determine the priority of claims to inventions. The
defense of intellectual property suits, USPTO interference
proceedings or the foreign equivalents thereof, as well as related
legal and administrative proceedings, are both costly and time
consuming and may divert management's attention from other business
concerns. An adverse determination in litigation or interference
proceedings to which we may become a party could, among other
things:
|
·
|
Subject us to significant
liabilities to third parties, including treble damages; |
|
|
|
|
·
|
require disputed rights to be
licensed from a third party for royalties that may be
substantial; |
|
|
|
|
·
|
require us to cease using such
technology; or |
|
|
|
|
·
|
prohibit us from selling certain of
our service offerings. |
Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
RISKS RELATED TO THE
OFFERING
Our existing
stockholders may experience significant dilution from the sale of
our common stock pursuant to the White Lion financing
agreement.
The sale of our common stock to White Lion Capital, LLC in
accordance with the Purchase Agreement may have a dilutive impact
on our shareholders. As a result, the market price of our common
stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is at
the time we exercise our put options, the more shares of our common
stock we will have to issue to White Lion in order to exercise a
put under the Purchase Agreement. If our stock price decreases,
then our existing shareholders would experience greater dilution
for any given dollar amount raised through the offering.
The perceived risk of dilution may cause our stockholders to sell
their shares, which may cause a decline in the price of our common
stock. Moreover, the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting
downward pressure on our stock price could encourage investors to
engage in short sales of our common stock. By increasing the number
of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could
further contribute to progressive price declines in our common
stock.
The issuance of shares
pursuant to the White Lion Purchase Agreement may have a
significant dilutive effect.
Depending on the number of shares we issue pursuant to the White
Lion Purchase Agreement, it could have a significant dilutive
effect upon our existing shareholders. Although the number of
shares that we may issue pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will
vary based on our stock price (the higher our stock price, the less
shares we have to issue), there may be a potential dilutive effect
to our shareholders, based on different potential future stock
prices, if the full amount of the Purchase Agreement is realized.
Dilution is based upon common stock put to White Lion and the stock
price discounted to White Lion’s purchase price of 85% of the
volume weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) during the pricing
period.
White Lion Capital, LLC
will pay less than the then-prevailing market price of our common
stock which could cause the price of our common stock to
decline.
Our common stock to be issued under the White Lion Purchase
Agreement dated May 28, 2021, and as amended on December 27, 2021,
will be purchased at a fifteen percent (15%) discount, or
eighty-five percent (85%) of the VWAP of the Common Stock the five
Business Day prior to the Closing Date. White Lion has a financial
incentive to sell our common stock immediately upon receiving the
shares to realize the profit equal to the difference between the
discounted price and the market price. If White Lion sells the
shares, the price of our common stock could decrease. If our stock
price decreases, White Lion may have a further incentive to sell
the shares of our common stock that it holds. These sales may have
a further impact on our stock price.
We may not have access
to the full amount under the Purchase Agreement.
Our ability to draw down funds and sell shares under the Purchase
Agreement with White Lion requires that the registration statement
of which this prospectus forms a part to be declared effective and
continue to be effective. The registration statement of which this
prospectus forms a part registers the resale of 75,000,000 shares
issuable under the purchase agreement with White Lion, and our
ability to sell any remaining shares issuable under the investment
with White Lion is subject to our ability to prepare and file one
or more additional registration statements registering the resale
of these shares. These registration statements may be subject to
review and comment by the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and will require the consent of our independent
registered public accounting firm. Therefore, the timing of
effectiveness of these registration statements cannot be assured.
The effectiveness of these registration statements is a condition
precedent to our ability to sell all of the shares of our common
stock to White Lion under the Purchase Agreement. Even if we are
successful in causing one or more registration statements
registering the resale of some or all of the shares issuable under
the purchase agreement with White Lion to be declared effective by
the Securities and Exchange Commission in a timely manner, we may
not be able to sell the shares unless certain other conditions are
met. For example, we might have to increase the number of our
authorized shares in order to issue the shares to White Lion.
Increasing the number of our authorized shares will require board
and stockholder approval. Accordingly, because our ability to draw
down any amounts under the Purchase Agreement with White Lion is
subject to a number of conditions, there is no guarantee that we
will be able to draw down any portion or all of the proceeds of
$5,000,000 under the investment with White Lion.
Your ownership interest
may be diluted and the value of our common stock may decline by our
exercising the Purchase Notice right pursuant to the purchase
agreement with White Lion.
Pursuant to the purchase agreement with White Lion, when we deem it
necessary, we may raise capital through the private sale of our
common stock to White Lion at a discounted price. Because the
Purchase Notice price is lower than the prevailing market price of
our common stock, to the extent that the Purchase Notice right is
exercised, your ownership interest may be diluted.
Certain restrictions on
the extent of puts and the delivery of advance notices may have
little, if any, effect on the adverse impact of our issuance of
shares in connection with the purchase agreement with White Lion,
and as such, White Lion may sell a large number of shares,
resulting in substantial dilution to the value of shares held by
existing stockholders.
White Lion has agreed, subject to certain exceptions listed in the
purchase agreement, to refrain from holding an amount of shares
which would result in White Lion or its affiliates owning more than
4.99% of the then-outstanding shares of our common stock at any one
time. These restrictions, however, do not prevent White Lion from
selling shares of our common stock received in connection with a
Purchase Notice, and then receiving additional shares of our common
stock in connection with a subsequent Purchase Notice. In this way,
White Lion could sell more than 4.99% of the outstanding common
stock in a relatively short time frame while never holding more
than 4.99% at one time.
We Needed Additional
Capital, and the Sale of Additional Shares, Equity and Debt
Securities Resulted in Additional Dilution to Our
Stockholders.
We recently required additional cash resources due to changed
business conditions or other future developments. These resources
were insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, so we sold
additional equity or debt securities or obtained one or more credit
facilities. The sale of these securities resulted in additional
dilution to our shareholders. The future sale of additional equity
securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders
and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other
preferences that adversely affect your rights as a Common
Stockholder. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in
increased debt service obligations and could result in operating
and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. It is
uncertain whether financing will be available in amounts or on
terms acceptable to us, if at all.
If we raise additional funds through government grants,
collaborations, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements or
marketing and distribution arrangements, we may have to relinquish
valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue stream or grant
licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable
to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when
needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our
product development or future commercialization efforts or grant
rights to develop and market products that we would otherwise
prefer to develop and market ourselves.
In order for the Company to continue its business operations and
provide growth to its shareholders, the Company requires financing
in the form of debt, equity, credit and other forms of
financing.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or
forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by
the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current
facts. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties
and include statements regarding, among other things, our projected
revenue growth and profitability, our growth strategies and
opportunity, anticipated trends in our market and our anticipated
needs for working capital. They are generally identifiable by use
of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipate,” “estimate,”
“plans,” “potential,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,”
“expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend” or the
negative of these words or other variations on these words or
comparable terminology. These statements may be found under the
sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business,” as
well as in this prospectus generally. In particular, these include
statements relating to future actions, prospective products, market
acceptance, future performance or results of current and
anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, and the outcome of
contingencies such as legal proceedings and financial results.
Examples of forward-looking statements in this prospectus include,
but are not limited to, our expectations regarding our business
strategy, business prospects, operating results, operating
expenses, working capital, liquidity and capital expenditure
requirements. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking
statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for
our products, the cost, terms and availability of components,
pricing levels, the timing and cost of capital expenditures,
competitive conditions and general economic conditions. These
statements are based on our management’s expectations, beliefs and
assumptions concerning future events affecting us, which in turn
are based on currently available information. These assumptions
could prove inaccurate. Although we believe that the estimates and
projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by
such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited
to:
·
|
increased levels of
competition; |
·
|
changes in the market acceptance of
our products; |
·
|
changes in political, economic or
regulatory conditions generally and in the markets in which we
operate; |
·
|
our relationships with our key
customers; |
·
|
our ability to retain and attract
senior management and other key employees; |
·
|
our ability to quickly and
effectively respond to new technological developments; |
·
|
our ability to protect our trade
secrets or other proprietary rights, operate without infringing
upon the proprietary rights of others and prevent others from
infringing on the proprietary rights of the Company; and |
·
|
other risks, including those
described in the “Risk Factors” discussion of this prospectus. |
We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment.
New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to
predict all of those risks, nor can we assess the impact of all of
those risks on our business or the extent to which any factor may
cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in
any forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements in
this prospectus are based on assumptions management believes are
reasonable. However, due to the uncertainties associated with
forward-looking statements, you should not place undue reliance on
any forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements
speak only as of the date they are made, and unless required by
law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to
publicly update any of them in light of new information, future
events, or otherwise.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our
common stock by the selling stockholder.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
We have not set an offering price for the shares registered
hereunder, as the only shares being registered are those sold
pursuant to the White Lion Purchase Agreement. White Lion may sell
all or a portion of the shares being offered pursuant to this
prospectus at fixed prices and prevailing market prices at the time
of sale, at varying prices or at negotiated prices.
DILUTION
The sale of our common stock to White Lion Capital, LLC in
accordance with the Purchase Agreement dated May 28, 2021, and
amendments thereto, will have a dilutive impact on our
stockholders. As a result, our net loss per share could increase in
future periods and the market price of our common stock could
decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is at the time we
exercise our Purchase Notice, the more shares of our common stock
we will have to issue to White Lion in order to drawdown pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement. If our stock price decreases during the
pricing period, then our existing stockholders would experience
greater dilution.
SELLING SECURITY
HOLDER
This prospectus relates to the resale of 75,000,000 shares of our
common stock, par value $0.001 per share, issuable to White Lion
Capital, LLC (“White Lion”), a selling stockholder pursuant to a
Purchase Notice under a Purchase Agreement dated May 28, 2021 and
amended effective December 27, 2021, that we entered into with
White Lion. The Purchase Agreement permits us to Purchase Notices
for up to five million dollars ($5,000,000) in shares of our common
stock to White Lion over a period of up to twelve (12) months (up
to December 31, 2022, as amended) or until $5,000,000 of such
shares have been subject to Purchase Notices. Effective December
27, 2021, TPT Global Tech, Inc. and White Lion Capital, LLC (the
parties to the Purchase Agreement) amended the Purchase Agreement
to extend the “Commitment Period” such that TPT Global Tech, Inc.
may put amounts to White Lion in accordance with the Purchase
Agreement until December 31, 2022.
The selling stockholder may offer and sell, from time to time, any
or all of shares of our common stock to be sold to White Lion under
the Purchase Agreement dated May 28, 2021, as amended on December
27, 2021.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the
beneficial ownership of shares of common stock by the selling
stockholder as of September 30, 2021 and the number of shares of
our common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus. We
believe that the selling stockholder has sole voting and investment
powers over its shares.
Because the selling stockholder may offer and sell all or only some
portion of the 75,000,000 shares of our common stock being offered
pursuant to this prospectus, the numbers in the table below
representing the amount and percentage of these shares of our
common stock that will be held by the selling stockholder upon
termination of the offering are only estimates based on the
assumption that the selling stockholder will sell all of its shares
of our common stock being offered in the offering.
The selling stockholder has not had any position or office, or
other material relationship with us or any of our affiliates over
the past three years.
To our knowledge, the selling stockholder is not a broker-dealer or
an affiliate of a broker-dealer. We may require the selling
stockholder to suspend the sales of the shares of our common stock
being offered pursuant to this prospectus upon the occurrence of
any event that makes any statement in this prospectus or the
related registration statement untrue in any material respect or
that requires the changing of statements in those documents in
order to make statements in those documents not misleading.

THE OFFERING
On May 28, 2021, we entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement
(the “Purchase Agreement”) with White Lion Capital, LLC (“White
Lion”). Although we are not mandated to sell shares under the
Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Agreement gives us the option to
sell to White Lion, up to $5,000,000 worth of our common stock
until twelve (12) months (up to December 31, 2022, as amended) from
the date of the Purchase Agreement. Effective December 27, 2021,
the parties to the Purchase Agreement amended the Purchase
Agreement to extend the “Commitment Period” such that TPT Global
Tech, Inc. may put amounts to White Lion in accordance with the
Purchase Agreement until December 31, 2022.The $5,000,000 was
stated as the total amount of available funding in the Purchase
Agreement because this was the maximum amount that White Lion
agreed to offer us in funding. There is no assurance the market
price of our common stock will increase in the future. The number
of common shares that remain issuable may not be sufficient,
dependent upon the share price, to allow us to access the full
amount contemplated under the Purchase Agreement. Based on the VWAP
of our common stock during the five (5) consecutive trading day
period preceding the filing date of this registration statement was
approximately $0.0138, the registration statement covers the offer
and possible sale of $634,800 worth of our
remaining shares.
The purchase price of the common stock will be set at eighty-five
percent (85%) of the lowest trading price of the common stock
during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period immediately
preceding the date on which the Company delivers a put notice to
White Lion. In addition, there is an ownership limit for White Lion
of 9.99%.
White Lion is not permitted to engage in short sales involving our
common stock during the term of the commitment period. In
accordance with Regulation SHO, however, sales of our common stock
by White Lion after delivery of a put notice of such number of
shares reasonably expected to be purchased by White Lion under a
put will not be deemed a short sale.
In addition, we must deliver the other required documents,
instruments and writings required. White Lion is not required to
purchase the put shares unless:
|
·
|
Our registration statement with
respect to the resale of the shares of common stock delivered in
connection with the applicable put shall have been declared
effective; |
|
·
|
We shall have obtained all material
permits and qualifications required by any applicable state for the
offer and sale of the registrable securities; and |
|
·
|
We shall have filed all requisite
reports, notices, and other documents with the SEC in a timely
manner. |
As we draw down on the equity line of credit, shares of our common
stock will be sold into the market by White Lion. The sale of these
shares could cause our stock price to decline. In turn, if our
stock price declines and we issue more puts, more shares will come
into the market, which could cause a further drop in our stock
price. You should be aware that there is an inverse relationship
between the market price of our common stock and the number of
shares to be issued under the equity line of credit. If our stock
price declines, we will be required to issue a greater number of
shares under the equity line of credit. We have no obligation to
utilize the full amount available under the equity line of
credit.
Neither the Purchase Agreement nor any of our rights or White
Lion’s rights thereunder may be assigned to any other person.
PLAN OF
DISTRIBUTION
This prospectus relates to the resale of 75,000,000 shares of our
common stock, par value $0.001 per share, issuable to White Lion
Capital, LLC (“White Lion”), a selling stockholder pursuant to a
Purchase Notice under a Purchase Agreement dated May 28,
2021, that we entered into with White Lion. The Purchase
Agreement permits us to issue, from time to time, Purchase Notices
for up to five million dollars ($5,000,000) in shares of our common
stock to White Lion over a period of up to twelve (12) months (up
to December 31, 2022, as amended) or until $5,000,000 of such
shares have been subject to a Purchase Notice. Effective December
27, 2021, we amended the Purchase Agreement to extend the
“Commitment Period” such that TPT Global Tech, Inc. may put amounts
to White Lion in accordance with the Purchase Agreement until
December 31, 2022.
The Purchase Agreement with White Lion is not transferable.
The purchase price of the common stock will be set at eighty-five
percent (85%) of the VWAP of the common stock during the five (5)
consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the date on
which the Company delivers a put notice to White Lion. In addition,
there is an ownership limit for White Lion of 9.99%.
The selling stockholder may, from time to time, sell any or all of
shares of our common stock covered hereby on the OTCQB, or any
other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the
shares are traded or in private transactions. A selling stockholder
may sell all or a portion of the shares being offered pursuant to
this prospectus at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the
time of sale, at varying prices or at negotiated prices. A selling
stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when
selling securities:
|
●
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the
shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block
as principal to facilitate the transaction;
|

●
|
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the

in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling
stockholder to sell a specified number of such securities at a
stipulated price per security;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging
transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
a combination of any such methods of sale; or
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
|
The selling stockholder may also sell securities under Rule 144
under the Securities Act of 1933, if available, rather than under
this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for
other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may
receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholder (or,
if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities,
from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set
forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency
transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in
compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal
transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA
IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein,
the selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn
engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging
the positions they assume. The selling stockholder may also sell
securities short and deliver these securities to close out its
short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers
that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholder may
also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or
other financial institutions or create one or more derivative
securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or
other financial institution of securities offered by this
prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial
institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented
or amended to reflect such transaction).
White Lion Capital, LLC is an underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933 and any broker-dealers or agents that are
involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with
such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such
broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares
purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts under the Securities Act of 1933. We are required to pay
certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the
registration of the securities.
The selling stockholder will be subject to the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 including Rule 172
thereunder.
The resale securities will be sold only through registered or
licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state
securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale
securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been
registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an
exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is
available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, any person engaged in the distribution of the
resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making
activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable
restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the
commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling
stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations
thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of
purchases and sales of securities of the common stock by the
selling stockholder or any other person. We will make copies of
this prospectus available to the selling stockholder and will
inform it of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each
purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by
compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act of 1933).
DESCRIPTION OF
SECURITIES
The securities being registered and/or offered by this Prospectus
are common shares.
Common Stock
We are presently authorized to issue one billion (1,500,000,000)
shares of our $0.001 par value common stock. A total Nine Hundred
Twenty-Three Million, Twenty-Nine Thousand, Thirty-Eight
(923,029,038) common shares are issued and outstanding as of
January 18, 2022.
Common Shares
All common shares are equal to each other with respect to voting,
liquidation, and dividend rights. Special shareholders' meetings
may be called by the officers or director, or upon the request of
holders of at least one-tenth (1/10th) of the outstanding shares.
Holders of shares are entitled to one vote at any shareholders'
meeting for each share they own as of the record date fixed by the
board of directors. There is no quorum requirement for
shareholders' meetings. Therefore, a vote of the majority of the
shares represented at a meeting will govern even if this is
substantially less than a majority of the shares outstanding.
Holders of shares are entitled to receive such dividends as may be
declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available
therefore, and upon liquidation are entitled to participate pro
rata in a distribution of assets available for such a distribution
to shareholders. There are no conversion, pre-emptive or other
subscription rights or privileges with respect to any shares.
Reference is made to our Articles of Incorporation and our By-Laws
as well as to the applicable statutes of the State of Florida for a
more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders
of shares. It should be noted that the board of directors without
notice to the shareholders may amend the By-Laws. Our shares do not
have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more
than fifty percent (50%) of the shares voting for election of
directors may elect all the directors if they choose to do so. In
such event, the holders of the remaining shares aggregating less
than fifty percent (50%) of the shares voting for election of
directors may not be able to elect any director.
Preferred shares
As of January 18, 2022, we had authorized one hundred million

guaranteed obligations of the Company. Holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock shall, collectively have the right to convert all
of their Series A Preferred Stock when conversion is elected into
that number of shares of Common Stock of our Company, determined by
the following formula: 60% of the issued and outstanding Common
Shares as computed immediately after the transaction for
conversion. For further clarification, the 60% of the issued and
outstanding common shares includes what the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock may already hold in common shares at the time of
conversion. The Series A Preferred Stock, collectively, shall have
the right to vote as if converted prior to the vote to an amount of
shares equal to 60% of the outstanding Common Stock of our
Company.
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
In February 2015, we designated 3,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock
as Series B Preferred Stock. There are 2,588,693 Series B

Stock as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. There are no
shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of

value of $.001, is senior to any other class or series of

Warrants
As of January 18, 2022, there were 1,000,000 warrants outstanding
that expire in five years or in the year ended December 31,
2024. As part of the Convertible Promissory Notes payable –
third party issuance in Note 5, the Company issued 1,000,000
warrants to purchase 1,000,000 common shares of the Company at 70%
of the current market price. Current market price means the
average of the three lowest trading prices for our common stock
during the ten-trading day period ending on the latest complete
trading day prior to the date of the respective exercise
notice.
Effective October 14, 2017, we adopted the 2017 TPT Global Tech,
Inc. Stock Option and Award Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan
provides for grants of nonqualified stock options and other stock
awards, including warrants, to designated employees, officers,
directors, advisors and independent contractors. A maximum of
20,000,000 shares of our common stock were reserved for options and
other stock awards under the Plan. We have the ability to issue
either options or warrants under the Plan.
Transfer Agent
The transfer agent for our securities is Clear Trust, with offices
at 16540 Pointe Village Dr., Suite 210, Lutz, Florida 33558, Phone
(813) 235-4490.
Authorized but Unissued
Shares
Our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred
stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder
approval, except as may be required under the listing rules of any
stock exchange on which our Common Stock is then listed. We may use
additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including
future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate
acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred stock
could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain
control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or
otherwise.
Penny Stock
Considerations
Our shares will be “penny stocks” as that term is generally defined
in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities
with a price of less than $5.00 per share. Thus, our shares will be
subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure
requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions
involving a penny stock. Under the penny stock regulations, a
broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an
established customer must make a special suitability determination
regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written
consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the
broker-dealer is otherwise exempt.
In addition, under the penny stock regulations, the broker-dealer
is required to:
·
|
Deliver, prior to any transaction
involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the
Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock
market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise
exempt; |
·
|
Disclose commissions payable to the
broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid
and offer quotations for the securities; |
·
|
Send monthly statements disclosing
recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a
customer’s account, the account’s value, and information regarding
the limited market in penny stocks; and |
·
|
Make a special written
determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the
purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the
transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the
customer’s account. |
Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter
difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock,
which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other
holders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the
effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary
market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements
could impede the sale of our securities, if our securities become
publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may
be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our
securities. Our shares in all probability will be subject to such
penny stock rules and our shareholders will, in all likelihood,
find it difficult to sell their securities.

INFORMATION
WITH RESPECT TO THE REGISTRANT
CORPORATE HISTORY
COMPANY OVERVIEW
We were originally incorporated in 1988 in the state of Florida.
TPT Global, Inc., a Nevada corporation formed in June 2014, merged
with Ally Pharma US, Inc., a Florida corporation, (“Ally Pharma,”
formerly known as Gold Royalty Corporation) in a “reverse merger”
wherein Ally Pharma issued 110,000,000 shares of Common Stock, or
80% ownership, to the owners of TPT Global, Inc. and Ally Pharma
changed its name to TPT Global Tech, Inc. In 2014, we acquired all
the assets of K Telecom and Wireless LLC (“K Telecom”) and Global
Telecom International, LLC (“Global Telecom”). Effective January
31, 2015, we completed our acquisition of 100% of the outstanding
stock of Copperhead Digital Holdings, Inc. (“Copperhead Digital”)
and Subsidiaries, TruCom, LLC (“TruCom”), Nevada Utilities, Inc.
(“Nevada Utilities”) and CityNet Arizona, LLC (“CityNet”). In
October 2015, we acquired the assets of both Port2Port, Inc.
(“Port2Port”) and Digithrive, Inc. (“Digithrive”). Effective
September 30, 2016, we acquired 100% ownership in San Diego Media,
Inc. (“SDM”). In December 2016, we acquired the Lion Phone
technology. In October and November 2017, we entered into
agreements to acquire Blue Collar, Inc. (“Blue Collar”), and
certain assets of Matrixsites, Inc. (“Matrixsites”) which we have
completed. On May 7, 2019, we completed the acquisition of a
majority of the assets of SpeedConnect, LLC, which assets were
conveyed into our wholly owned subsidiary TPT SpeedConnect, LLC
(“TPT SC” or “TPT SpeedConnect”) which was formed on April 16,
2019. On January 8, 2020, we formed TPT Federal, LLC (“TPT
Federal”). On March 30, 2020, we formed TPT MedTech, LLC (“TPT
MedTech”) and on June 6, 2020, we formed InnovaQor, Inc
(“InnovaQor”). In July and August 2020, the Company formed Quiklab
1 LLC, QuikLAB 2, LLC, QuikLAB 3, LLC and QuikLAB 4, LLC where the
Company owns 80% (as agreed per the operating agreement) of all
outside equity investments. Effective August 1, 2020, we closed on
the acquisition of 75% of The Fitness Container, LLC (“Aire
Fitness”). In July 2020, we invested in a Hong Kong company called
TPT Global Tech Asia Limited of which we own 78%, and during 2020,
InnovaQor did a reverse merger with Southern Plains of which there
ended up being a non controlling interest of 6% as of September 30,
2021 and December 31, 2020. The name of InnovaQor remained for the
merged entities but was changed to TPT Strategic, Inc. on March 21,
2021.
We are based in San Diego, California, and operate as a
technology-based company with divisions providing
telecommunications, medical technology and product distribution,
media content for domestic and international syndication as well as
technology solutions. We operate as a Media Content Hub for
Domestic and International syndication,
Technology/Telecommunications company using our own proprietary
Global Digital Media TV and Telecommunications infrastructure
platform and also provide technology solutions to businesses
domestically and worldwide. We offer Software as a Service (SaaS),
Technology Platform as a Service (PAAS), Cloud-based Unified
Communication as a Service (UCaaS) and carrier-grade performance
and support for businesses over our private IP MPLS fiber and
wireless network in the United States. Our cloud-based UCaaS
services allow businesses of any size to enjoy all the latest
voice, data, media and collaboration features in today's global
technology markets. We also operate as a Master Distributor for
Nationwide Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO) and Independent
Sales Organization (ISO) as a Master Distributor for Pre-Paid
Cellphone services, Mobile phones, Cellphone Accessories and Global
Roaming Cellphones.
We anticipate needing an estimated $38,000,000 in capital to
continue our business operations and expansion. We do not have
committed sources for these additional funds and will need to be
obtained through debt or equity placements or a combination of
those. We are in negotiations for certain sources to provide
funding but at this time do not have a committed source of these
funds.
Our executive offices are located at 501 West Broadway, Suite 800,
San Diego, CA 92101 and the telephone number is (619) 400-4996. We
maintain a website at www.tptglobaltech.com, and such website is
not incorporated into or a part of this filing.
IMPLICATIONS OF BEING AN EMERGING GROWTH
COMPANY
As a company with less than $1.0 billion of revenue during our last
fiscal year, we qualify as an emerging growth company as defined in
the JOBS Act, and we may remain an emerging growth company for up
to five years from the date of the first sale in this offering.
However, if certain events occur prior to the end of such five-year
period, including if we become a large accelerated filer, our
annual gross revenue exceeds $1.0 billion, or we issue more than
$1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, we
will cease to be an emerging growth company prior to the end of
such five-year period. For so long as we remain an emerging growth
company, we are permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from
certain disclosure and other requirements that are applicable to
other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. In
particular, in this prospectus, we have provided only two years of
audited financial statements and have not included all of the
executive compensation related information that would be required
if we were not an emerging growth company. Accordingly, the
information contained herein may be different than the information
you receive from other public companies in which you hold equity
interests. However, we have irrevocably elected not to avail
ourselves of the extended transition period for complying with new
or revised accounting standards, and, therefore, we will be subject
to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public
companies that are not emerging growth companies.
CORPORATE ORGANIZATION CHART

OTCQB Stock Symbol
Currently there is a limited public trading market for our stock on
OTCQB under the symbol “TPTW.”
Our Key Divisions:
TPT SpeedConnect: ISP and Telecom
The Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the
assets of SpeedConnect LLC (“SpeedConnect”) for $1.75 million,
including the assumption of all contracts and liabilities pertinent
to operations and conveyed them into a wholly-owned subsidiary TPT
SpeedConnect. SpeedConnect was founded in 2002 and operates as a
national, predominantly rural, wireless telecommunications
residential and commercial Internet Service Provider (ISP). TPT
SpeedConnect’s primary business model is subscription based,
monthly reoccurring revenues, from wireless delivered, high-speed
Internet connections utilizing its company built and owned national
network. SpeedConnect also resells third-party satellite Internet,
DSL Internet, IP telephony and DISH TV products. This Acquisition
closed on May 7, 2019.
SpeedConnect was a privately-held Broadband Wireless Access (BWA)
provider. Today, TPT SpeedConnect is one of the nation’s largest
rural wireless broadband Internet providers which serves
approximately 11,000 residential and commercial wireless broadband
Internet customers, in Arizona, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan,
Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota and Texas.
SpeedConnect is a full-service ISP. The company’s main back office
is run by company employees, and includes, network management,
network monitoring and maintenance, significant allocations of
registered address in public IP4 and IP6 space, employee based
customer service, installation services, automated resources and
application based scheduling and tracking, paper, ACH, credit card,
and email billing, warehousing, fulfillment, integrated customer
premise provisioning, walled garden collections and customer
self-restarts, bandwidth usage tracking, integrated, secure, and
deep financial and operations dash board reporting, collections,
accounting, payables, owned and licensed backhaul, intelligent
bandwidth management, consumption rated billing, customer payment
portals, and all wrapped in a mature, first hit on all search
engines, Internet Brand. The company today services approximately
11,000 residential and commercial Internet customers over its
approximately 220-cellular tower foot-print across 10 Midwestern
States.
Today’s urban ISP landscape is highly competitive and dominated by
some of the world’s largest going concerns. Names like Comcast,
AT&T, Cox, Charter and DISH are household words. Home Internet
service has become synonymous with Cable. However, this is limited
to the high-density top 100 markets. Beyond that the competition
becomes more small licensed free wireless providers and satellite.
Wire-line providers, unless backed with government subsidies, do
not build beyond 15 homes per street mile. SpeedConnect services
both rural and non-rural areas, and historically has done well in
both marketplaces, however the margins are improved in the more
rural areas due to reduced voluntary and involuntary customer
attrition.
TPT SpeedConnect’s key suppliers include but are not limited to;
Great Lakes Data Systems, Juniper, ZTE, Huawei, Cisco, Sandvine,
American Tower, SBA Tower, Crown Castle, CenturyLink, SuddenLink,
South Dakota Networks, 123 dot net, Genesee Telephone, Air
Advantage Fiber, Iron Mountain, ConVergence, CDW, Talley, Tessco,
Bursma Electronics, DragonWave, Ceragon Networks, Telrad, Arris,
AP, APD, Plante Morran, Fifth Third, Sprint and others.
Blue Collar Production Division
Our production division, Blue Collar Productions (formerly Blue
Collar, Inc.), creates original live action and animated content
productions and has produced hundreds of hours of material for the
television, theatrical, home entertainment and new media markets.
Mr. Rowen, our CEO of Blue Collar, works closely with major
television networks, cable channels and film studios to produce
home entertainment products.
The Documentary film group at Blue Collar recently completed a film
on the cultural impact of Goodfellas: 20 Years
Later that featured Martin Scorsese, Robert DeNiro, Lorraine
Bracco, Leonardo DiCaprio and many others. They have also produced
a series of film anthologies for Turner Classic Movies. Blue Collar
is currently in production on Built To Fail, which is a
look at the history of street wear. The film features Tommy
Hilfiger, Russell Simmons and a host of notable street wear
designers. They are also in pre-production on The 29 Club,
a look at notable musicians who all tragically died at age 29;
Memories in Music, which is an in-depth study of the
impact of memory through music on Alzheimer’s patients and
Faces of Vegas, an exploration into the culture of Las
Vegas, Nevada.
Blue Collar Productions currently has the feature film Looking
For Alaska, based on the John Green novel, producing for
Paramount Pictures. The company produced for a pilot for MTV for a
possible series, “My Jam” aired in the Fall of 2016. Blue Collar
has also produced two seasons of “Caribbean’s Next Top Model
Season.”
Blue Collar Productions designs branding and marketing campaigns
and has had contracts with some of the world’s largest companies
including PepsiCo, Intel, HP, WalMart and many other Fortune 500
companies. Additionally, they create motion picture, television and
home entertainment marketing campaigns for studios including Sony,
DreamWorks, Twentieth Century Fox, Universal Studios, Paramount
Studios, and Warner Brothers.
The CEO of this division, Mr. Rowen, has worked with filmmakers
including Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, Brett Ratner and James
Cameron. Mr. Rowen also has very close working relationships with
actors including Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Robert
Downey, Jr., Denzel Washington, Ryan Gosling, Sofia Vergara,
Mariska Hargitay and many others.
Prior to starting Blue Collar Productions, Mr. Rowen functioned as
the head of home entertainment production for DreamWorks SKG from
1997 to 2000. He also serves as the President of Long Leash
Entertainment, an aggregator of entertainment based intellectual
property and creator of high-end entertainment content.
San Diego Media Division
San Diego Media, Inc. (“SDM”) is an established Southern California
based software engineering and Internet e-commerce marketing
services company that provides enterprise-class integrated
solutions for manufacturers, retailers, and distributors focused on
developing solutions for companies seeking online growth and
profitability.
Founded in 1999, historically the primary market offering has been
MaxEXP®, a proven stable, productivity-enabling proprietary
eCommerce platform, built on open-standards technology that
empowers companies to deploy and manage eCommerce offerings at
lower cost and at less time than required to deploy more
conventional high-end solutions — and, we believe, all without
sacrificing the essential merchandising functionality,
customizability, extensibility, scalability, security, and
performance that much more expensive solutions provide. MaxEXP
supports both B2B and B2C functionality simultaneously which few
other eCommerce solutions will provide successfully
out-of-the-box.
These early engagements have enabled SDM to solidify and refine the
core SDM technology architecture and to enhance the platform with
market-driven merchandising features and functionality. SDM has
made significant R&D investments in operational infrastructure
including sophisticated monitoring systems, comprehensive security,
time-tracking, client management tools, and continuous compliance
with the demanding payment card industry (PCI) standards.
SDM has complemented these systems with a full range of automated
and enterprise-class capabilities for fully integrating with
customer’s legacy systems, call centers, fulfillment houses, and
other critical business process applications.
SDM has complimented its technologies with a wider range of
professional internet and marketing services that enables client
success, to create successful business relationships over
long-term.
As the market has changed through the years SDM has continued to
innovate and expand its strategic and technology development
partnerships; these include, MIndTouch, BigCommerce, Avalara, CPC
Strategies, eBridge, Imperva Incapsula, Chris Chase Design. SDM’s
newest client is based in Singapore and it represents its most
innovative use of technologies to date.
TPT MedTech, LLC – Medical Division
TPT MedTech believes it is strategically positioned to take
advantage of the current trend in Point of Care Testing (“POCT”) by
aligning itself with the exponential growth of smart devices
equipped with mobile healthcare (mH), which may revolutionize
personalized healthcare monitoring and management, thereby paving
the way for next-generation POCT.
The rapid turnaround times, improved decision times, and
time-critical decision-making of TPT MedTech QuikLAB can result in
total savings between 8-20% of laboratory costs for facilities that
implement POC testing. The savings realized due to the decreased
cost of waiting for results can be as much as $260 USD per patient.
For those that use and implement POC testing, waiting can improve
by as much as 46 minutes per patient real-time scenarios—and days
in standard laboratory settings. Management believes TPT MedTech
QuikLAB is uniquely positioned to serve this growing
market.
SANIQuik is a decontamination and sanitizing unit that TPT MedTech
intends to co-market with the QuikLAB mobile laboratory as an
integrated solution to certain issues arising from the COVID-19
pandemic. SANIQuik uses hypochlorous acid as a spray mist. This
chemical has been safely used on many food products for decades.
Hypochlorous acid does not cause irritation to eyes and skin. Even
if it were ingested it causes no harm. Because it is so safe, it is
the ideal sanitizer for direct food sanitation and food contact
surfaces. It is also ideal in healthcare where it is used for wound
cleansing, eye drops, and patient room disinfection replacing toxic
chemicals such as bleach and quaternary ammonium salts.
Hypochlorous acid is FDA, USDA, and EPA approved to minimize
microbial food safety hazards of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables.
(See
https://www.hypochlorousacid.com/about.)
TPT MedTech believes the SANIQuik external sanitation is safe,
effective and flexible for its utilization with options for users.
TPT MedTech intends to provide optional masks to users as they
approach the SANIQuik. The mask provides a cover around inhalation
of the mist. External sanitation is safe and effective, providing
an additional routine to hand washing and facial coverings.
TPT MedTech has developed a business model which markets SANIQuik
as a novel product within the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
industry. This PPE distribution model is focused in the Federal
procurement space (Veteran’s Administration, Department of Defense,
Federal Emergency Management Agency, Centers for Disease Control,
National Guard) as well as vendor to the top 20 National Hospital
Group Purchasing Organizations (GPO).
TPT MedTech will be requesting Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)
from the FDA for SANIQuik during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has
been granted to other sanitizing units. SANIQuik already has the
European CE mark. For attorney fees and consultants, we
are estimating $50,000 for the EUA.

Arizona
Our TruCom division, a subsidiary of Copperhead Digital Holdings,
LLC, is a Facilities Based Competitive Local Exchange Carrier

Technology Company Overview
Our Company was formed as the successor of two US Corporations,
Ally Pharma US, a Pharmaceutical technology research company
founded in 1988 and TPT Global Inc. a Media Content, Voice and
Data, Interconnect and International gateway provider. TPT Global
Tech is headquartered in San Diego, California and operates as a
holding company for its Media, Smartphone, Network, Content and
SaaS (Software as a Services) domestic and international
businesses.
Historically and through key acquisitions we launched
Telecommunications wholesale and retail operations in the United
States and Internationally. These first acquisitions with their
Customer Bases, Distribution Channels and Technology are the base
for our organic growth strategy and provide opportunities to cross
sell our platforms and New Media Technology products and services
Domestically and Internationally.
We are based in San Diego, California and operate as a
technology-based company with divisions providing
telecommunications, medical technology and product distribution,
media content for domestic and international syndication as well as
technology solutions. We operate as a Media Content Hub for
Domestic and International syndication,
Technology/Telecommunications company using on our own proprietary
Global Digital Media TV and Telecommunications infrastructure
platform and we also provides technology solutions to businesses
worldwide. We offer Software as a Service (SaaS), Technology
Platform as a Service (PAAS), Cloud-based Unified Communication as
a Service (UCaaS) and carrier-grade performance and support for
businesses over our private IP MPLS fiber and wireless network in
the United States. Our cloud-based UCaaS services allow businesses
of any size to enjoy all the latest voice, data, media and

also operate as a Master Distributor for Nationwide Mobile Virtual
Network Operators (MVNO) and Independent Sales Organization (ISO)
as a Master Distributor for Pre-Paid Cellphone services, Mobile

Our technologies “Gathers Big Data” to predict our customers’
viewing and spending habits. We then deliver Products and Services
to support that estimated demand and share advertising revenues
with our Content, Digital Media and Linear Broadcast Partners
worldwide.
Each of our four divisions contributes to the launch of our global
Content delivery platform “ViewMe Live” and creates cross
pollinating revenue opportunities and a closed Global E-commerce
Eco environment which we believe will help us execute our short and
long-term corporate objectives. Our Content Division which consists
of Blue Collar Productions (our TV and Film content Production
company) creates original content and in some cases third party
content. Once Content has been produced we will then broadcast and
delivered that content over our proprietary Mobile TV Platform on
our proprietary Trucom Telecommunication Network infrastructure
domestically and internationally.
Our corporate goal is to work within our four in house divisions
(Smartphone, Network, Content and SaaS) to launch hardware sales
and build a viewer subscriber base domestically and
internationally. This edge device deployment would deliver free
Content, free Linear Broadcast feeds and Social Media features on
our Free proprietary Mobile app platform with the anticipation to
aggregate and showcase our original and third-party Content,
Digital Media and Linear broadcast feeds from and too the four
corners of the Globe.
All of the back technology or features for ViewMe Live have been
developed and we anticipate spending an additional $2,000,000 USD
to complete the front-end features which we believe, depending on
our funding event, will be six to twelve months.
We have generated revenues in 2020 and 2019, primarily through
operating as a Facilities Based Telecommunications Competitive
Local Exchange Carrier (“CLEC”) in Arizona and as a Broadband
Internet provider. The company currently operates an approximate 58
miles Fiber optic ring throughout the greater Phoenix valley
offering such services as Basic Residential Phone service, Basic
Business phone service, POT’s lines, Basic Fiber Broadband Internet
services, Wireless Internet Services, Toll Free 800 services, EFax,
Erate, Dedicated T-1 Services, Auto Attendant, SIP Trunks, Mobile
and Voip services. These services will continue for the foreseeable
future weighted heavily towards offering more Wireless Internet
services and the Fiber Ring will be transformed into a Private Test
facility to be offered for rent to businesses needing a private
network to test new products for proof of concept purposes. Since
the acquisition of the assets of SpeedConnect in 2019, we operate
as a Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) provider and are considered
one of the nation’s largest rural wireless broadband Internet
providers serving approximately 11,000 residential and commercial
wireless broadband Internet customers, in Arizona, Idaho, Illinois,
Iowa, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota and Texas.
We, and our related acquired companies are seeking to be an
innovative Media-Telecom/CUBS (Cloud Unified Businesses Services)
company and one of the first to combine recurring Telecom,
Media and Data/Cloud Services revenue under one roof, then
bring all relevant data from those services into a proprietary
telecom infrastructure and information matrix platform capable of
delivering a “Daily and Intelligent Dashboard” to our Domestic and
International customers. Such a planned cohesive combination of
services and information from a single provider has been heretofore
nonexistent. We intend to pioneer an integrate communication
services and information technology suites to empower individuals
and companies with vital communications, Smartphone, Network,
Content, SaaS (Software as A Service), New Media Technology
products and services, and valuable relevant diagnostic information
both Domestically and Internationally.
We are currently able to deliver a live Global TV Broadcast and
Social Media Platform utilizing a Mobile App technology on our
proprietary Content Delivery Network. We plan to expand our Cloud
Unified Business Services (CUBS) technology-based business services
unifying multiple services from the cloud.
CUBS (Cloud Unified Business Services) - We are a
CUBS provider, acquiring customers and then cross selling
additional products and services through our proprietary Wrap
Around Relationship Marketing (WARM) system, intending to make the
customers very sticky.
Planned
Activities
Big Data & Predictive Analytics - Our
capability to utilize our proprietary aggregation platform to
gather data from our hardware and software edge device (End Users)
deployments positions the Company to be a leader in predictive
analytics.

Cross-Sales – Our growth strategy through
complimentary acquisitions may create opportunities to cross and
sell its New Generation, New Media technology products and services
to a growing customer base across multiple distribution channels,
both domestically and internationally.
Market Launch - Through our acquisition of ViewMe
Live from Matrixsites, we have acquired the live backend broadcast
Network technology for our Global Mobile TV and Social Media
platform. Subject to raising capital ($2,000,000) from our
fund-raising activities we believe we are six to twelve months from
completing the frontend development component to launch its “ViewMe
Live” Mobile APP delivery platform.
Liquidity and Capital Resource Needs
We anticipate needing an estimated $38,000,000 in capital to
continue our business operations and expansion. We do not have
committed sources for these additional funds and will need to be
obtained through debt or equity placements or a combination of
those.

Although the items set forth above indicate management’s present
estimate of our use of the net proceeds, we may reallocate the
proceeds or utilize them for other corporate purposes. Our
actual use of proceeds may vary from these estimates because of a
number of factors, including whether we are successful in
completing future acquisitions, whether we obtain additional
funding, what other obligations have been incurred by us, the
operating results of our initial acquisition activities, and
whether we are able to operate profitably. If our need for working
capital increases, we may seek additional funds through loans or
other financing. There are no commitments for any such financing,
and there can be no assurance that these funds may be obtained in
the future if the need arises.

Our Business Methods
Centralized Platform and New Generation
Network
We are now operating a next-generation broadband network reselling
other companies’ networks on a wholesale arbitrage basis (buying
and reselling other companies’ capacity) on our centralized VIVO
Platform. We are interconnected to U.S. and International carriers
to date. Once funded, we intend to deploy our own in-country
networks in the targeted emerging markets. This will enable us to
be able to provide better quality termination and increase our
operating margins. We believe our platform will produce substantial
operational cost savings. Because of our pricing advantage, we are
able to offer our clients products and services at an attractive
pricing structure, creating a strong competitive advantage. Based
on our low network operating costs and low-cost infrastructure, we
believe we may penetrate emerging markets with little network
build-out and at a reasonable price. Management believes that our
service offerings will be well received in emerging markets based
on existing relationships and pricing structure, which will enable
us to set the industry standard with little competition.
Once we establish in-country networks, we will be able to market
Phones, Networks, Content and SaaS products targeted to specific
subgroups that coincide with the country/region where we have a
network in place or a strategic partnership network in place.
Use of Incumbent Networks
Under formal agreements we can privately brand and resell incumbent
carriers’ underlying broadband networks, while deploying our own
Wimax/Wi-Fi/GSM service plans and mobile handsets.
As a true value add, our VIVO billing platform allows us to manage
the billing and routing, offering our customers a seamless, branded
network from anywhere we maintain a relationship. By way of
incumbent operator networks, we can sell and market to retail and
wholesale customers without the high infrastructure costs
associated with deploying our own network. If and when the revenues
justify the cost of constructing our own network, we plan to
investigate adding a wireless Broadband/ GSM network and transfer
our customer base in a final step to reduce costs of goods sold
long-term.
Wholesale Termination
Wholesale termination is the reselling of excess network capacity
on a reciprocal basis to other telecom carriers both domestically
and internationally. Due to the large number of carrier
relationships we have in the US and abroad, we believe we can
immediately increase our wholesale termination in each country in
which we have a license to operate. This wholesale activity
generates additional cash flow immediately if successfully
implemented. Wholesale termination is a low risk, low margin
business.
Service Description
Our next-generation wireless Broadband/GSM network relies on
non-line-of-sight technology. This will provide a level of
performance comparable to that delivered by evolving Worldwide
Interoperability of Microwave Access (WiMAX) standards. The cost
advantage equates to substantial reductions of fixed costs as
compared to building traditional, legacy, and switched
networks.

TPT SpeedConnect
On May 7, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of
substantially all of the assets of SpeedConnect LLC
(“SpeedConnect”) for $1.75 million, including the assumption of all
contracts and liabilities pertinent to operations and conveyed them
into a wholly owned subsidiary TPT SpeedConnect. The Acquisition
closed on May 7, 2019. SpeedConnect was founded in 2002 by its CEO
John Arthur Ogren and is in its 17th year of operations as a
national, predominantly rural, wireless telecommunications
residential and commercial Internet Service Provider (ISP). TPT
SpeedConnect’s primary business model is subscription based,
monthly reoccurring revenues, from wireless delivered, high-speed
Internet connections utilizing its company built and owned national
network. SpeedConnect also resells third-party satellite Internet,
DSL Internet, IP telephony and DISH TV products.
SpeedConnect is a privately-held Broadband Wireless Access (BWA)
provider. Today, TPT SpeedConnect is one of the nation’s largest
rural wireless broadband Internet providers which serves
approximately 11,000 residential and commercial wireless broadband
Internet customers, in Arizona, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan,
Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota and Texas.
TPT SpeedConnect is a full-service ISP. The company’s Frankenmuth
Michigan back office is run by company employees, and includes
network management, network monitoring and maintenance, significant
allocations of registered address in public IP4 and IP6 space,
employee based customer service, installation services, automated
resources and application based scheduling and tracking, paper,
ACH, credit card, and email billing, warehousing, fulfillment,
integrated customer premise provisioning, walled garden collections
and customer self-restarts, bandwidth usage tracking, integrated,
secure, and deep financial and operations dash board reporting,
collections, accounting, payables, owned and licensed backhaul,
intelligent bandwidth management, consumption rated billing,
customer payment portals, and all wrapped in a mature, first hit on
all search engines, Internet Brand. The company today services
approximately 11,000 residential and commercial Internet customers
over its approximately 220-cellular tower foot-print across 10
Midwestern States.
Today’s urban ISP landscape is highly competitive and dominated by
some of the world’s largest going concerns. Names like Comcast,
AT&T, Cox, Charter and DISH are household words. Home Internet
service has become synonymous with Cable. However, this is limited
to the high-density top 100 markets. Beyond that the competition
becomes more small licensed free wireless providers and satellite.
Wire-line providers, unless backed with government subsidies, do
not build beyond 15 homes per street mile. SpeedConnect services
both rural and non-rural areas, and historically has done well in
both marketplaces, however the margins are improved in the more
rural areas due to reduced voluntary and involuntary customer
attrition.
TPT SpeedConnect’s key suppliers include but are not limited to;
Great Lakes Data Systems, Juniper, ZTE, Huawei, Cisco, Sandvine,
American Tower, SBA Tower, Crown Castle, CenturyLink, SuddenLink,
South Dakota Networks, 123 dot net, Genesee Telephone, Air
Advantage Fiber, Iron Mountain, ConVergence, CDW, Talley, Tessco,
Bursma Electronics, DragonWave, Ceragon Networks, Telrad, Arris,
AP, APD, Plante Morran, Fifth Third, Sprint and others.

proven stable, productivity-enabling proprietary eCommerce
platform, built on open-standards technology that empowers

TPT MedTech, LLC – Medical Division
TPT MedTech believes it is strategically positioned to take
advantage of the current trend in Point of Care Testing (“POCT”) by
aligning itself with the exponential growth of smart devices
equipped with mobile healthcare (mH), which may revolutionize
personalized healthcare monitoring and management, thereby paving
the way for next-generation POCT.
The rapid turnaround times, improved decision times, and
time-critical decision-making of TPT MedTech QuikLAB can result in
total savings between 8-20% of laboratory costs for facilities that
implement POC testing. The savings realized due to the decreased
cost of waiting for results can be as much as $260 USD per patient.
For those that use and implement POC testing, waiting can improve
by as much as 46 minutes per patient real-time scenarios—and days
in standard laboratory settings. Management believes TPT MedTech
QuikLAB is uniquely positioned to serve this growing
market.
SANIQuik is a decontamination and sanitizing unit that TPT MedTech
intends to co-market with the QuikLAB mobile laboratory as an
integrated solution to certain issues arising from the COVID-19
pandemic. SANIQuik uses hypochlorous acid as a spray mist. This
chemical has been safely used on many food products for decades.
Hypochlorous acid does not cause irritation to eyes and skin. Even
if it were ingested it causes no harm. Because it is so safe, it is
the ideal sanitizer for direct food sanitation and food contact
surfaces. It is also ideal in healthcare where it is used for wound
cleansing, eye drops, and patient room disinfection replacing toxic
chemicals such as bleach and quaternary ammonium salts.
Hypochlorous acid is FDA, USDA, and EPA approved to minimize
microbial food safety hazards of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables.
(See
https://www.hypochlorousacid.com/about.)
TPT MedTech believes the SANIQuik external sanitation is safe,
effective and flexible for its utilization with options for users.
TPT MedTech intends to provide optional masks to users as they
approach the SANIQuik. The mask provides a cover around inhalation
of the mist. External sanitation is safe and effective, providing
an additional routine to hand washing and facial coverings.
TPT MedTech has developed a business model which markets SANIQuik
as a novel product within the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
industry. This PPE distribution model is focused in the Federal
procurement space (Veteran’s Administration, Department of Defense,
Federal Emergency Management Agency, Centers for Disease Control,
National Guard) as well as vendor to the top 20 National Hospital
Group Purchasing Organizations (GPO).
TPT MedTech will be requesting Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)
from the FDA for SANIQuik during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has
been granted to other sanitizing units. SANIQuik already has the
European CE mark. For attorney fees and consultants, we
are estimating $50,000 for the EUA.

consulting agreement. The Company’s position was that he ultimately
resigned in writing and was not due any back wages. In August 2021,
Mr. Ogren was awarded $334,908 in back wages by an Arbitrator. This
amount has been included in accounts payable as of September 30,
2021 and expensed in the statement of operations as other expenses
in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Mr. Ogren and the
Company have agreed to a settlement whereby the Company would pay
$120,000 within 14 days of a written agreement with four monthly
payments of $20,000 starting on December 5, 2021 through March 2,
2022. $160,000 has been paid to date on this agreement.
CORPORATE MARKETING STRATEGY
Our corporate strategy in expanding our operations and potential
product and service streams is as follows.
MARKETING OBJECTIVE:
Establish our brand as a competitive service and product provider
in the communications industry.
ADVERTISING OBJECTIVE:
To create top of mind brand awareness and emotional relevance
resulting: TPT Global Tech, Inc. being the preferred and requested
product line of products in the industry.
SALES & MERCHANDISING OBJECTIVES:
Our distributor will use direct selling efforts. Their efforts will
be supported with our marketing, advertising, and merchandising
programs. The primary task will be to increase the sales through
retail channels.
PURSUE BRAND RECOGNITION THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES
The first marketing objective must be to refine our brand and
secure our place in the minds of the consumers. This will be
accomplished through the execution of an integrated branding,
identity and services marketing programs. The goals for this
segment will be an enhanced brand identity, a brand applications
and a digital assets suite.
MARKETING STRATEGY
Our plan includes a direct sales program targeting businesses,
small business and home office users of communications. The direct
sales efforts will be supported with third party marketing
integration. To further enhance the sales process, we will offer an
offering program including services and product sheets, coupons,
point of sale materials (banners, shelf talkers, and end cap
displays and danglers) and internet marketing programs.
Based on the above benefit scenarios, we plan to seize the
following opportunities:
|
·
|
Build superior brand recognition
and become recognized as a category leader. |
|
·
|
Expand the US distribution into all
states. |
|
·
|
Establish distribution
internationally. |
|
·
|
Establish and manage a
knowledgeable team of account executives with industry
experience. |
|
·
|
Create a retail merchandising
program that will build a strong market share. |
The purpose of our marketing efforts is to move the product sales
from their current position into the rapid growing “popularity”
stage. Our strategy includes the following marketing programs:
Branding; Merchandising; Direct; Display Advertising; Media; Public
Relations; Publicity; Events; Investor Relations; Metrics
Dashboard; and, Personal Sales. Our objective is to gain the sales
momentum required to reach the “brand preference” stage of product
growth as soon as possible. This is the stage where we plan sales
grow at a steady and stabilized pace.
THE DIRECT MARKETING PROGRAM
A complete direct marketing program including direct mail, blast
email and URLs may be used to introduce the products to new
customers and secure leads for the sales team. We plan to employ
the services of a database marketing company to leverage techniques
to target prospective clients and reinforce product messages
throughout the selling process. This process will commence with the
modeling of our existing customer data and the analysis of the
results using sophisticated analytic tools. Cross-channel marketing
will be utilized in conjunction with the direct marketing including
social marketing. Our focus of this marketing medium will be
relevance and timing, which only this medium can provide full
control over and the ability to fully quantify the results.
THE MEDIA MARKETING PROGRAM
We intend to test several media options to determine which, if any,
effectively drive sales and sales leads. The mediums being consider
include outdoor advertising, both static and mobile, magazine ads,
and radio spots. Other media to be explored are direct mail post
cards and emails to opt in viewers.
THE PUBLIC RELATIONS/PUBLICITY PROGRAM
We plan to employ the services of a public relations firm to build
a corporate profile to keep the name and the services and products
in front of consumers. A third-party PR firm will be responsible
for writing and publishing press releases, coordinating event
marketing and managing investor relations.
We employ marketing, sales and customer service personnel on an as
needed basis for specific events to build brand awareness. We use a
range of marketing strategies and tactics to build our brand and
increase sales, including point-of-sale materials, event
sponsorship, in-store and on-premise promotions, public relations,
and a variety of other traditional and non-traditional marketing
techniques to support the sales of all of our products.
We believe that a marketing mix of event promotions, social media,
print advertising in local media and internet advertising providing
information and samples of our products at social events is a
strategy that may help increase sales.
TARGET CUSTOMER
We plan to profile our existing customers and create a
sophisticated data model to mathematically and statistically
identify our “ideal” customer. Further the model will be used to
learn exactly how the target customer wishes to be communicated
with and marketed to.
THE INTERNATIONAL MARKET
We plan to market our product internationally. Many of the current
products offered by us have features for the international
community. This will be a secondary but strong focus by our
marketing team.
EXPERIENCED MANAGEMENT
Our senior management team has over 30 years of experience in the
various consumer product industries and has a proven track record
of creating value both organically and through strategic
acquisitions. Our management intends to utilize the best available
and fit-for-purpose technology and experienced contractors to
improve production and expand distribution.
CORPORATE STRATEGY
Our Goals
Our primary goal is to continue to grow our business by improving
value to our current customers and vendors. In providing a
high-quality network we intend to continue to grow our business.
Additionally, we intend to purchase established telecommunications
and technology companies that will immediately generate and
increase traffic (revenue) to our Company’s retail and wholesale
network. Companies that we are strategically aligned with have in
their core business synergistic retail products and services that
include, but are not limited to, Telecom Cloud Services Media,
Merchant Services/Mobile Banking, Cloud Services and Media (e.g.
credit/debit card processing, check/ACH payment processing,
ecommerce/merchant processing, web hosting, voice, data, GSM/Wi-Fi
Mobile, Mobile Money Transfers, IPTV, VOD and Live Mobile
Broadcasting, Prepaid Calling Card and PIN-less Prepaid services).
If we acquire a strategic partner as a subsidiary, we believe we
will have the ability to aggregate their analogous technology
platforms onto our proprietary Software Access System operating
platform for integration and efficiency.
We intend to work our media to accelerate cohesively in the mobile
technology sectors: LIVE Broadcast, Video on Demand (VOD) Apps, and
Digital Video Magazine (DVM) Apps. While “white labeling” our
technologies as SaaS, our primary focus is what we believe is the
first Global Cyber LIVE Mobile TV broadcast network, ViewMe Live.
The ViewMe Live Network™ is a 24-hour LIVE worldwide mobile TV
network, delivered via iOS and Android apps. The ViewMe Live
Network™ presents a diversity of Linear Broadcast Channels
(Domestically and International), coupled with Social Media
Platforms with combined functions that compete with some of the
largest and most powerful Digital Media platforms, to connected
audiences who live a mobile-centric life.
Network Services
Domestic and Global Telecommunications offerings include: Mobile
TV, Phone, Internet, Fiber Optic, Wireless, Hosted PBX, Wi-Fi,
Wi-Max, Engineering, Cabling, Wiring and Cloud services. Our
telecommunications division has pioneered innovative, hosted
firewall and managed MPLS service technologies (SuperCore MPLS) and
was the industry’s first to engineer patent-pending Bulletproof™
failover services utilizing our own fiber optic and wireless
networks to guarantee business continuity and service uptime.
As a retail and business media and telecommunications provider
operating a high-speed Fiber Optic Network and Wireless Network in
the USA at a cost competitive rate for new technologies, we are
growing our operations through sales of our core voice & data
connectivity products to small and midsized business clients. We
have a growth strategy through acquisitions in order to increase
regional operations and deploy more technologies to niche &
underserved markets. Unified Cloud Services, Unified Communications
(UC) or Unified Communications/Collaboration (UCC) has been a topic
of interest to users looking to evolve from a disorderly
combination of media, voice, email and message communications to
something more structured. Our goal is to target existing and new
small and medium businesses (“SMBs”) to transition their older
voice system businesses, expand their software collaboration
offerings, and most recently build cloud service offerings. Cloud
solution gives our customers the flexibility to support a myriad of
mobile devices as part of their hardware strategy, whether it's
launching a bring-your-own-device initiative, implementing a
one-to-one program or equipping SMBs with mobile computing carts
full of tablets, netbooks, or notebooks in a secured
environment.
Scalability and Cost Efficiency
Our proprietary Software Access System platform currently runs our
global operations. In short, it does this by connecting our
customer base with the most profitable vendor route while
calculating least cost routing, analyzing route quality, and
respecting “dipping” protocols. Based on the demand, we have the
ability to scale to meet the needs of our customers. Comparable
“off the shelf” software systems in the marketplace can cost in the
hundreds of thousands of dollars just to purchase, not to mention
expensive service contracts, which may continue in perpetuity after
the original purchase. Our proprietary platform, in which we have
invested and have developed over several years, allows us to
operate a global network with better efficiency which we believe
differentiates us from other competitors in the marketplace.

parties, including telecommunications agents, system integrators,
value-added resellers and other telecommunications firms. We
support our distribution through digital advertising, events,
television advertising, website promotions and public
relations.
Marketing Designs
We have designed our services and products offered to be:
|
·
|
Portable. We offer the ability to access our network from
anywhere within our coverage area without being restricted to a
specific location.
|
|
·
|
Simple. Our services are easy to install. After connecting
our modem to an ATA or computer and a power source, our wireless
broadband service is immediately available and requires no software
installation.
|
|
·
|
Fast. We offer speeds that typically exceed legacy
cellular networks and are competitive with fixed broadband
offerings.
|
|
·
|
A Good Value. We generally price our services
competitively because our costs to build and operate our network
are significantly lower than the networks operated by many of our
competitors.
|
With the popularity of social media, people are demanding fast
broadband connectivity on an increasingly mobile basis. We believe
that our services meet this demand and will market this in our
efforts to increase our subscriber growth rate.
OUR COMPANY STRENGTHS
We believe the following competitive strengths enable us to meet
the demand for simple, reliable and portable wireless broadband
connectivity:
|
·
|
First mover We are
the first company we are aware of to launch a Global Cyber Mobile
TV and Social Media Network that incorporates functional feature of
the largest Digital Media companies in the world. |
|
·
|
High barriers to
entry. Our issued and pending patents, as well as our
proprietary Media platforms and Naked Eye 3D technology trade
secrets give us a strong intellectual property position that we
believe creates a significant barrier to entry for potential
competitors. |
|
·
|
Broad range of applications
for our platform. This allows us to build a deep new
product pipeline that creates multiple paths to build a large and
profitable business. |
|
·
|
Multi-billion-dollar
addressable market. U.S. digital advertising revenues rose
to $26.2 billion in the third quarter of 2018, solidifying 2018’s
claim as the highest-spending first three quarters on record,
according to the latest IAB Internet Advertising Revenue Report
released today by IAB and prepared by PwC US. Digital spend for Q3
2018 estimates increased 20.6 percent over Q3 2017. In total,
marketers spent $75.8 billion during 2018’s first three quarters—22
percent more than they had spent during the same period a year ago.
https://iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/IAB_Internet-Ad-Revenue-Report-Q3-2018_2019-02-14_FINAL-1.pdf |
|
·
|
Diverse revenue streams
including Digital Media partnerships. We anticipate
generating significant revenue from our Digital Media platforms.
Our Linear Broadcast partners will play a large part in generating
revenues from the sale of mobile and social media advertising. |
|
·
|
Strong senior leadership
team. Our founders and senior leaders have experience in
building and operating several companies in our business areas. We
have phone, network, content, SaaS, product development, and
commercialization experience that has enabled us to establish
market leadership positions for the companies where we previously
were employed. |
|
·
|
Differentiated
Services. We believe our service is unique because of our
combination of our Worldwide Operational Platform, Worldwide
Affiliates, Cutting Edge Technology, Portability, Simplicity and
Speed to Market with a competitive domestic and International Price
Structure. We believe this combination of factors differentiates
our subscriber’s experience when compared to broadband services
provided by DSL, cable modem, wireless third-generation or 3G,
networks. |
|
·
|
Strong Spectrum
Position. We use unlicensed and licensed spectrum (in
Arizona), which avoids radio frequency interference that hinders
competitors using non-licensed spectrum, such as WiFi network
operators. Access to spectrum is a fundamental barrier to entry for
the delivery of high-quality wireless communications. Through our
partnerships, we believe that we have access to the second largest
spectrum position in our band within the United States. |
|
·
|
Advanced, Scalable
Technology. Because we intend to design our own software
and equipment, we can refine our product development roadmap to
meet our subscriber’s needs. We believe our NLOS, IP-based Ethernet
architecture and compression technology confers competitive
advantages since it simplifies both network deployment and customer
use while supporting a broad range of potential premium
services. |
|
·
|
Efficient Economic
Model. We believe our individual market economic model is
characterized by low fixed capital and operating expenditures
relative to other wireless and wire line broadband service
providers. We believe our individual market model is highly
scalable and replicable across our markets. As our capabilities
evolve, we expect to generate incremental revenue streams from our
subscriber base by developing and offering premium products and
services. |
|
·
|
Experienced Management
Team. Stephen J. Thomas, our Founder, Chairman, and Chief
Executive Officer, has been an active entrepreneur, operator and
investor in the industry for more than 17 years in VoIP and
wireless communications industry. He previously served as Director
of Network Optimization/Validation for WorldxChange, Inc. and CEO
and President of New Orbit Communications, Inc., which focused on
International Operator Services in United States, Mexico, El
Salvador and Guatemala. |
FUTURE
PLANS
Our ViewMe Live Technology Plan
We offer VML technology for which we plan to expand marketing. We
believe SaaS ViewMe Live (VML) could become a leading Digital Media
Mobile TV technology platform in the business-to-business and
business-to-consumer markets. Our proprietary software platform can
reach a worldwide audience of approximately one billion mobile
viewers. VML addresses global mobile distribution of LIVE and Video
on Demand (“VOD”) content as a white label Software as a Service
(“SaaS”).
VML OTT live streaming technology is similar to what you see with
satellite TV such as Dish Network and DirecTV, as well as cable
companies. Almost all currently existing live streaming cannot do
live broadcast streaming at this level and usually has anywhere
from 1 minute to 10 minute delays or continuous buffering, never
loading the video. With VML, there is the ability to have
“worldwide” access for a live streaming event equal to standard
television broadcasting with tens of millions of simultaneous
users. We believe that VML is the first technology to be able to
achieve this level of live streaming. In emerging countries that do
not have fiber, cable and satellite TV, access to VML is simple and
cost effective, as long as there is a cellular connection on a 3G
network or higher (regardless of provider)[1]. VML aims to provide
uninterrupted live streaming on mobile devices without buffering,
crashes, pixilation, or audio and video syncing issues. One
practical application of this technology is that a viewer can move
from a Wi--Fi connection to a 3G connection without interruption.
VML has a unique user interface with multi-channel access and
built-in social media, and we believe it is unlike anything
currently on the market. VML also has the capability to do a Live
Linear Broadcast with VOD.VML’s technology has the potential to
reduce web content pirating since high quality TV broadcast is now
easily accessed worldwide on mobile devices.
Currently, we believe we are the only company that does all the
above in the industry and we believe VML has the potential to
expand our technologies and applications even further.
[1] Subject to the laws and regulations of each country.
The hottest technology in the over the top (“OTT”) market and the
biggest challenge in the OTT market is “Live Linear Channel
Broadcasting” and “Live Event Broadcasting” to equal standard
television broadcasting on cable and satellite TV. This type of
technology is superior to video on demand (VOD) streaming
technology in both acquisition and delivery. The growth of OTT
video delivery has been significant. In the past year alone, OTT
has grown to $35 billion in global revenue, with $17 billion coming
from emerging markets source Digital TV Research. ViewMe Live
(“VML”) has many technology advantages including: Artificial
Intelligence (“AI”); the ability to simultaneously access millions
of users simultaneously with virtually no latency equivalent to
standard television broadcasting; global distribution (without
interruption) on cellular and Wi-Fi; and a fully interactive menu
user interface and worldwide advertising brokers in place.
VML’s content delivery network (“CDN”) can potentially reach tens
of millions of mobile devices (tablets and smartphones) and has the
potential to scale to one billion video streams globally. It loads
content within seconds, not only for Wi-Fi, but also more
importantly, on cellular networks that are 3G and higher. VML’s
core technology is fully developed and is able to support clients
on a turnkey native mobile app in less than 60 days. We have
already achieved major milestones as the world’s largest private
conduit build out for global deployment of LIVE and VOD streaming
content. Our OTT live streaming technology is unique and
proprietary. Here are some highlights on how VML can help from
telecommunication companies to TV station broadcasters to digital
film libraries.
VML has the ability to create a “Master Network Mobile App” that
can allow for a multiple channel build out, each with its own
unique Pay Per View charge (optional). This means a company can
have a live event channel per country with a different price per
user based on the economics of that country. VML has unlimited
channel build out (e.g. a company could have 50 channels or 1000
channels). Any telecommunications company can have professional
looking displays and user interfaces for mobile with VML, similar
to what the large telecommunications companies provide. A Master
Network App also allows a network to expand into other categories
by country (e.g. additional sports categories for various sports by
country). Expansion can focus on audience aggregation for sports
and other forms of entertainment categories. Pay-Per View is an
option for these expanded categories as well. We have built-in
worldwide ad brokers for pre---roll commercial ads so that revenue
can be generated as soon as possible. There is also potential to
upsell to existing advertisers and sponsors and it can be brand
specific by country.
VOICOPS APP
Spurned from our VML technology, the Company will Beta launch its
Gaming Social Media App “VOICOPS”. “VOICOPS” as the company’s first
gaming-focused APP and will offer a REAL-TIME Looking-for-Group
(LFG) function providing a speedy way for gamers to group-up live
in games and with audio “Chat ROOMS”. The Gaming Social Media App
also allows for unlimited users to join the audience mode to
listen-in on the action from each team. “VOICOPS” features several
built-in social media functions for gamers to post articles, videos
of game-play, and links to YouTube videos.
The initial gaming-focused platform “VOICOPS” will feature during
its Beta launch will be Amazon’s highly anticipated Med Evil New
World video game. Amazon released its Beta version in 2021 and TPT
is planning its “VOICOPS” Beta launch anticipated to be in early
2022.

The primary benefit of “VOICOPS” will be the ease of finding audio
or chat GROUP featured LIVE and real-time gaming platforms around
the world. The Med Evil New World game currently does not have any
features to handle this kind of in-game interaction. Most video
game platforms do not offer this level of functionality. “VOICOPS”
users will uniquely be able to open a public or private live audio
room and show it in real time by server and LFG Looking For Group,
Player VS Player, Dungeons, Questing, etc.
The “VOICOPS” app offers a live news feed where all the users can
post articles, YouTube videos, photos about the games they enjoy
and be a part of the Med Evil New World Community. YouTube content
creators can also post YouTube video links and reach a larger
viewing audience that are focused on the game’s
content. Companies (Guilds) can set up a presence in the
company’s “VOICOPS” app and offer recruiting, meetings with live
audio, live presentations and plan large attacks on other
factions.
TPT MedTech
The point-of-care diagnostics or testing (POCD or POCT) market is
projected to reach USD $46.7 billion by 2024 from USD $28.5 billion
in 2019, at a CAGR of 10.4%. Factors such as the high prevalence of
infectious diseases in developing countries, increasing incidence
of target conditions, growing government support, and rising
preference for home healthcare across the globe are driving the
growth of the market. However, product recalls, a lack of alignment
with test results obtained from laboratories, stringent &
time-consuming approval policies, and a reluctance to change
existing diagnostic practices are expected to restrain market
growth.
https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/point-of-care-diagnostic-market-106829185.html
The global COVID-19 diagnostics market size was valued at USD $5.2
billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth
rate (CAGR) of 5.96% from 2021 to 2027. The COVID-19 diagnostic
tests are critical in the management of the current pandemic for
accurate diagnosis as well as to tackle the spread of the
infection. As a result, with the growing demand, these tests are
being made available with over 600 SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests
either approved or in the development phase for clinical use.
Therefore, an increase in need for developing diagnostic tests is
anticipated to drive the market growth. For efficient and accurate
COVID-19 diagnosis, clinicians need a portable or an on-site
diagnostic test for real-time management of patients in minimal
time. This has encouraged the adoption of Point-of-Care testing
(POCT) for diagnosis, primarily aimed at reducing the assay
duration from hours to a few minutes.
https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/covid-19-diagnostics-market.
https://www.marketwatch.com/press-release/covid-19-diagnostics-market-by-development-trends-investigation-2020-and-forecast-to-2027-2020-06-17
TPT MedTech believes it is strategically positioned to take
advantage of the current trend in POCT by aligning itself with the
exponential growth of smart devices equipped with mobile healthcare
(mH), which may revolutionize personalized healthcare monitoring
and management, thereby paving the way for next-generation
POCT.
The rapid turnaround times, improved decision times, and
time-critical decision-making of TPT MedTech QuikLAB can result in
total savings between 8-20% of laboratory costs for facilities that
implement POC testing. The savings realized due to the decreased
cost of waiting for results can be as much as $260 USD per patient.
For those that use and implement POC testing, waiting can improve
by as much as 46 minutes per patient real-time scenarios—and days
in standard laboratory settings. Management believes TPT MedTech
QuikLAB is uniquely positioned to serve this growing
market.
SANIQuik is a decontamination and sanitizing unit that TPT MedTech
intends to co-market with the QuikLAB mobile laboratory as an
integrated solution to certain issues arising in the COVID-19
pandemic. SANIQuik uses hypochlorous acid as a spray mist. This
chemical has been safely used on many food products for decades.
Hypochlorous acid does not cause irritation to eyes and skin. Even
if it were ingested it causes no harm. Because it is so safe, it is
the ideal sanitizer for direct food sanitation and food contact
surfaces. It is also ideal in healthcare where it is used for wound
cleansing, eye drops, and patient room disinfection replacing toxic
chemicals such as bleach and quaternary ammonium salts.
Hypochlorous acid is FDA, USDA, and EPA approved to minimize
microbial food safety hazards of fresh-cut fruits and
vegetables.
(See
https://www.hypochlorousacid.com/about.)
TPT MedTech believes the SANIQuik external sanitation is safe,
effective and flexible for its utilization with options for users.
TPT MedTech intends to provide optional masks to users as they
approach the SANIQuik. The mask provides a cover around inhalation
of the mist. External sanitation is safe and effective, providing
an additional routine to hand washing and facial coverings.
TPT MedTech has developed a business model which markets SANIQuik
as a novel product within the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
industry. This PPE distribution model is focused in the Federal
procurement space (Veteran’s Administration, Department of Defense,
Federal Emergency Management Agency, Centers for Disease Control,
National Guard) as well as vendor to the top 20 National Hospital
Group Purchasing Organizations (GPO).
TPT MedTech will be requesting Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)
from the FDA for SANIQuik during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has
been granted to other sanitizing units. SANIQuik already has the
European CE mark. For attorney fees and consultants, we
are estimating $50,000 for the EUA.
Mobile Device Viewer Market Expansion
In general, viewers are consuming more content via mobile TV
distribution, while rapidly abandoning expensive subscriptions from
standard satellite TV and cable networks. The rise of high-quality
content on low-cost platforms, such as mobile devices, continues to
negatively impact the standard TV industry. The media business is
being forced to evolve and adjust to massive disruptions in content
distribution methods. Traditional media models are functionally
broken and will continue to be disrupted by technology, which is
driven by the needs of the younger generation. The future of media
is dependent on new technology platforms. These platform models
(e.g. smart TV, connected TV boxes, mobile TV devices) are the
future of content distribution. Google, through YouTube, has
changed the face of video content distribution. Amazon continues to
disrupt the book industry. Apple has redefined music and
application distribution. And Microsoft is continuing to change the
engagement model and distribution of content through its Xbox TV
game console.
We believe mobile delivery has a growing appeal to advertisers and
subscribers. As brands continue to shift budgets to mobile
advertising, they must reassess their approach to
customer acquisition to ensure they continue to reach
potential customers effectively.
Digital ad spend grew 12% in 2020 despite hit from
pandemic. Source CNBC/IAB
The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) said the top 10 companies
held a 78.1% share of the revenues in 2020, with overall revenues
of that group alone exceeding $109 billion. The top 10 companies
accounted for a 75.9% share of revenues in 2018, rising to 76.6% in
2019. The IAB said companies ranked 11th to 25th account for just
6.2% of revenues, while smaller companies make up 15.7%. The
IAB stated that spending during the third and fourth quarters of
2020 was up by 11.7% and 28.7% year-over-year, respectively.
Social media ad revenues reached $41.5 billion in 2020, the report
said, making up nearly 30% of all internet ad revenue. Digital
video saw 20.6% year-over-year growth, increasing its share of
total internet ad revenue by 1.3% to reach 18.7%. Programmatic
ad revenue also increased by 24.9% to reach $14.2 billion in
2020.

Content Mining Plan
Once our planned SaaS media applications, smart phones and tablets
are launched into the domestic and international markets, content
analytics or marketing data will be gathered from these devices.
The data generated from these applications and devices will give us
an advantage insight into our subscribers viewing and buying
habits. Once data has been scrubbed of personally identifying
information, we plan to be able to create original or lease content
from broadcast partners to service what our analytics are telling
us to produce (or license), with the intent on moving us closer
towards predictive analytics. Predictive analytics is being able to
predict what our customer likes based on their viewing habits and
then produce that content targeted to our subscriber and then
“push” that new (or licensed) content to them.
Lion Smart Phone Product
We are currently seeking a manufacturer for our Lion Smart Phone.
Our Management believes our patent pending Lion smart phone is the
first Full HD Naked Eye 3D smart phone ever
launched in the United States. Lion Universe’s mobile 3D technology
is patent pending. The smart phone will be distributed through our
wholly-owned subsidiary K-TEL, in their existing brick and mortar
distribution channel in the Northwest expanding into other areas.
It is anticipated that a national and international roll out will
soon follow. TPTW is building industry leading personal cellular
phones designed for a wide appeal. With a business model built on
innovation and progress starting with the Lion Phone technology, we
intend to produce high-quality and easy-to-use cellular phones. Our
Lion Phone was designed for consumers looking for portable and
affordable cutting-edge technology. Our first-generation phones
come equipped with full high definition resolution screen for
better viewing. We believe this Full HD Naked Eye 3D smart Phone is
perfect for watching movies, playing games, even editing photos or
videos.
Whether that is looking at photos, playing music, emailing or
surfing the web, our management believes consumers want more from
their phones. We believe our Lion Phone raises the bar for cellular
phones. For the first time ever, cellular users can enjoy quality
3D viewing with the naked eyes no glasses required enjoying full
high definition video with smooth playback.
Our Management believes consumers have been waiting for a way to
watch their favorite movies in 3D, with the convenience of their
phone and gamers can have the leisure of playing their games
without taking head gear with them. Our Lion Universe Technology
strives to give customers the best possible experience with our
Full HD Naked Eye 3D smart phone in the US and Global markets.
We understand the longer we wait the less advantage we might have
in our efforts to market this phone as the marketplace moves very
quickly. We intend to begin marketing this phone in 2022 as capital
is available.
Our differentiation from web streaming
We are not a website-based video streaming technology. VML is
strictly a native mobile app focused on video streaming technology
for mobile platforms. We are not a dashboard-based video content
company where users upload content; we are a complete turnkey SaaS
application. A survey released in May 2015, sponsored by Level 3
Communications, stated, “Offering both VOD and Live Linear channels
will be critical for OTT providers to entice new prospects and gain
market share. This trend is a critical one. For existing OTT
providers, offering a VOD service may not be enough to maintain,
much less grow, market share.” The trend towards adding live linear
channel content has the potential to become “table stakes” in the
OTT game over the next several years, with both breaking news and
live sports content leading the way in terms of interest for OTT
service providers adding live linear channels.
SaaS White Label
We plan to white label our suite of SaaS technologies for yearly
licensing and monthly maintenance fees. The prospective user base
for the SaaS White Label Suite is extensive as there are more than
200,000 TV broadcasters worldwide alone, and many of them are
seeking to migrate to the vast mobile video streaming market space.
The sizeable population of potential SaaS clients includes standard
television broadcasters in every country, direct marketing
companies, low-powered antenna broadcasters (such as universities
and churches), IPTV broadcasters, and large content (film and TV)
providers that are seeking to further monetize their properties for
worldwide syndication.
The SaaS suite includes full app development on Apple iOS, Google
Android and Roku connected boxes, user interface (menu system),
advertising broker network for pre---roll commercial ads (from date
of launch), 24/7 LIVE monitoring of inbound and outbound signals,
data analytics, seamless updating to all platforms, Amazon web
service (AWS) blade servers, and coverage up to the first 20
million streams. The white label product is offered to
stand--alone.
User Interface
In a preprogrammed live linear broadcast application, viewers have
free access via a playlist by category and have the ability to
“catch--up” with what they may have missed in the LIVE broadcast,
regardless of its original airdate. The video-on-demand (VOD)
feature provides the opportunity to access additional viewers and
monetize past content. After several years in development, we
believe that VML has a significant first to market
advantage and that no other companies currently have a comparable
commercialized offering.

Our Plan for Strategic Partnering with Telecommunication
& Media Companies
Currently in the world, viewers usually need to have a contract
with a cable provider (e.g. AT&T, Cox, Xfinity, Spectrum, or
Cablevision in the U.S.) or satellite TV provider (e.g. DirecTV and
DISH Network in the U.S.) and be in range of a residential or
business Wi-Fi to be able to watch over the top (OTT) content on a
connected TV device, website or mobile access. VML is capable of
offering a nearly unlimited number of channels to mobile users
virtually anywhere and everywhere, with global reach, far exceeding
two U.S. satellite companies (DirecTV and DISH Network), which have
500+ channels each and are only available in the U.S.
We believe VML will immediately appeal to any channel that is
currently on DirecTV and DISH Network for global mobile linear
broadcast participation, simply because these platforms are only
available in the U.S. market.
VML can provide low--powered TV stations (often found in churches
and universities), along with high--powered stations, the ability
to reach the entire global market. Other potential users are owners
of libraries of digitized content, and LIVE event venues such as
music concerts, sporting events, festivals, beauty pageants, summer
and winter Olympic Games, award shows, red carpet events, trade
shows and conventions. Enthusiasts can produce their own show in
any area and could launch their own channels for travel, food,
spirits, sports, outdoor recreation, retro TV shows, children,
cartoons, comedy, drama, reality, education, automobiles, health,
corporations, shopping, soap opera, game shows, dating, religion,
etc., providing extensive possibilities for media expansion.
Content providers will not be limited by the major TV networks and
film studios for distribution rights.

MILESTONES
Our three quarters of operations for 2021 were consistent with
operations after the acquisition of the assets of SpeedConnect, LLC
for 2019 and 2020. We intend to expend significant funds after our
intended funding event equally over the ensuing four quarters as
outlined above.
Our Corporate Information
We are a Florida corporation. Our principal executive offices are
located at 501 W. Broadway, Suite 800, San Diego, CA 92101, and our
telephone number is (619) 400-4996. Our website address is
http://www.tptglobaltech.com. Information on or accessed through
our website is not incorporated into this prospectus and is not a
part of this prospectus.
CYBER RISKS
Like other large telecommunications companies, we are a constant
target of cyber-attacks of varying degrees, which has caused us to
spend increasingly more time and money to deal with increasingly
sophisticated attacks. Some of the attacks may result in security
breaches, and we periodically notify our customers, our employees
or the public of these breaches when necessary or appropriate. None
of these resulting security breaches to date have materially
adversely affected our business, results of operations or financial
condition.
We rely on several other communications companies to provide
services or products for our offerings. We may lease a significant
portion of our core fiber network from our competitors and other
third parties. Many of these leases will lapse in future years. Our
future ability to provide services on the terms of our current
offerings will depend in part upon our ability to renew or replace
these leases, agreements and arrangements on terms substantially
similar to those currently in effect.
For additional information regarding our systems, network, cyber
risks, capital expenditure requirements and reliance upon third
parties, see "Risk Factors."
COMPETITION, COMPETITORS, REGULATION AND
TAXATION
Competition
General
We compete in a rapidly evolving and highly competitive market, and
we expect intense competition to continue. In addition to
competition from larger national telecommunications providers, we
are facing increasing competition from several other sources,
including cable and satellite companies, wireless providers,
technology companies, cloud companies, broadband providers, device
providers, resellers, sales agents and facilities-based providers
using their own networks as well as those leasing parts of our
network. Technological advances and regulatory and legislative
changes have increased opportunities for a wide range of
alternative communications service providers, which in turn have
increased competitive pressures on our business. These alternate
providers often face fewer regulations and have lower cost
structures than we do. In addition, the communications industry
has, in recent years, experienced substantial consolidation, and
some of our competitors in one or more lines of our business are
generally larger, have stronger brand names, have more financial
and business resources and have broader service offerings than we
currently do.
Wireless telephone services are a significant source of competition
with our legacy carrier services. It is increasingly common for
customers to completely forego use of traditional wireline phone
service and instead rely solely on wireless service for voice
services. We anticipate this trend will continue, particularly as
our older customers are replaced over time with younger customers
who are less accustomed to using traditional wireline voice
services. Technological and regulatory developments in wireless
services, Wi-Fi, and other wired and wireless technologies have
contributed to the development of alternatives to traditional
landline voice services. Moreover, the growing prevalence of
electronic mail, text messaging, social networking and similar
digital non-voice communications services continues to reduce the
demand for traditional landline voice services. These factors have
led to a long-term systemic decline in the number of our wireline
voice service customers.
The Telecommunications Act of 1996, which obligates carriers to
permit competitors to interconnect their facilities to the
carrier's network and to take various other steps that are designed
to promote competition, imposes several duties on a carrier if it
receives a specific request from another entity which seeks to
connect with or provide services using the carrier's network. In
addition, each carrier is obligated to (i) negotiate
interconnection agreements in good faith, (ii) provide
nondiscriminatory "unbundled" access to all aspects of the
carrier's network, (iii) offer resale of its
telecommunications services at wholesale rates and (iv) permit
competitors, on terms and conditions (including rates) that are
just, reasonable and nondiscriminatory, to collocate their physical
plant on the carrier's property, or provide virtual colocation if
physical colocation is not practicable. Current FCC rules require
carriers to lease a network element only in those situations where
competing carriers genuinely would be impaired without access to
such network elements, and where the unbundling would not interfere
with the development of facilities-based competition.
As a result of these regulatory, consumer and technological
developments, carriers also face competition from competitive local
exchange carriers, or CLECs, particularly in densely populated
areas. CLECs provide competing services through reselling a
carrier’s local services, through use of a carrier's unbundled
network elements or through their own facilities.
Technological developments have led to the development of new
products and services that have reduced the demand for our
traditional services, as noted above, or that compete with
traditional carrier services. Technological improvements have
enabled cable television companies to provide traditional
circuit-switched telephone service over their cable networks, and
several national cable companies have aggressively marketed these
services. Similarly, companies providing VoIP services provide
voice communication services over the Internet which compete with
our traditional telephone service and our own VoIP services. In
addition, demand for our broadband services could be adversely
affected by advanced wireless data transmission technologies being
deployed by wireless providers and by certain technologies
permitting cable companies and other competitors to deliver faster
average broadband transmission speeds than ours.
Similar to us, many cable, technology or other communications
companies that previously offered a limited range of services are
now offering diversified bundles of services, either through their
own networks, reselling arrangements or joint ventures. As such, a
growing number of companies are competing to serve the
communications needs of the same customer base. Such activities
will continue to place downward pressure on the demand for and
pricing of our services.
As customers increasingly demand high-speed connections for
entertainment, communications and productivity, we expect the
demands on our network will continue to increase over the next
several years. To succeed, we must continue to invest in our
networks or engage partners to ensure that they can deliver
competitive services that meet these increasing bandwidth and speed
requirements. In addition, network reliability and security are
increasingly important competitive factors in our business.
Additional information about competitive pressures is located under
the heading “Risk Factors.”
Competitors
In connection with providing strategic services to our business
customers, which includes our small, medium and enterprise
business, wholesale and governmental customers, we compete against
other telecommunication providers, as well as other regional and
national carriers, other data transport providers, cable companies,
CLECs and other enterprises, some of whom are substantially larger
than us. Competition is based on price, bandwidth, quality and
speed of service, promotions and bundled offerings. In providing
broadband services, we compete primarily with cable companies,
wireless providers, technology companies and other broadband
service providers. We face competition in Ethernet based services
in the wholesale market from cable companies and fiber-based
providers.
Our competitors for providing integrated data, broadband, voice
services and other data services to our business customers range
from small to mid-sized businesses. Due to the size of some of
these companies, our competitors may be able to offer more
inexpensive solutions to our customers. To compete, we focus on
providing sophisticated, secure and performance-driven services to
our business customers through our infrastructure.
The number of companies providing business services has grown and
increased competition for these services, particularly with respect
to smaller business customers. Many of our competitors for
strategic services are not subject to the same regulatory
requirements as we are and therefore they are able to avoid
significant regulatory costs and obligations.
Government Regulation
Overview
As discussed further below, our operations are subject to
significant local, state, federal and foreign laws and
regulations.
We are subject to the significant regulations by the FCC, which
regulates interstate communications, and state utility commissions,
which regulate intrastate communications. These agencies (i) issue
rules to protect consumers and promote competition, (ii) set the
rates that telecommunication companies charge each other for
exchanging traffic, and (iii) have traditionally developed and
administered support programs designed to subsidize the provision
of services to high-cost rural areas. In most states, local voice
service, switched and special access services and interconnection
services are subject to price regulation, although the extent of
regulation varies by type of service and geographic region. In
addition, we are required to maintain licenses with the FCC and
with state utility commissions. Laws and regulations in many states
restrict the manner in which a licensed entity can interact with
affiliates, transfer assets, issue debt and engage in other
business activities. Many acquisitions and divestitures may require
approval by the FCC and some state commissions. These agencies
typically have the authority to withhold their approval, or to
request or impose substantial conditions upon the transacting
parties in connection with granting their approvals.
The following description discusses some of the major industry
regulations that may affect our traditional operations, but
numerous other regulations not discussed below could also impact
us. Some legislation and regulations are currently the subject of
judicial, legislative and administrative proceedings which could
substantially change the manner in which the telecommunications
industry operates and the amount of revenues we receive for our
services.
Neither the outcome of these proceedings, nor their potential
impact on us, can be predicted at this time. For additional
information, see "Risk Factors."
The laws and regulations governing our affairs are quite complex
and occasionally in conflict with each other. From time to time, we
are fined for failing to meet applicable regulations or service
requirements.
Federal Regulation
General
We are required to comply with the Communications Act of 1934.
Among other things, this law requires our local exchange carriers
to offer various of our legacy services at just and reasonable
rates and on non-discriminatory terms. The Telecommunications Act
of 1996 materially amended the Communications Act of 1934,
primarily to promote competition.
The FCC regulates interstate services we provide, including the
special access charges we bill for wholesale network transmission
and the interstate access charges that we bill to long-distance
companies and other communications companies in connection with the
origination and termination of interstate phone calls.
Additionally, the FCC regulates a number of aspects of our business
related to privacy, homeland security and network infrastructure,
including our access to and use of local telephone numbers and our
provision of emergency 911 services. The FCC has responsibility for
maintaining and administering support programs designed to expand
nationwide access to communications services (which are described
further below), as well as other programs supporting service to
low-income households, schools and libraries, and rural health care
providers. Changes in the composition of the five members of the
FCC or its Chairman can have significant impacts on the regulation
of our business.
In recent years, our operations and those of other
telecommunications carriers have been further impacted by
legislation and regulation imposing additional obligations on us,
particularly with regards to providing voice and broadband service,
bolstering homeland security, increasing disaster recovery
requirements, minimizing environmental impacts and enhancing
privacy. These laws include the Communications Assistance for Law
Enforcement Act, and laws governing local telephone number
portability and customer proprietary network information
requirements. In addition, the FCC has heightened its focus on the
reliability of emergency 911 services. The FCC has imposed fines on
us and other companies for 911 outages and has adopted new
compliance requirements for providing 911 service. We are incurring
capital and operating expenses designed to comply with the FCC's
new requirements and minimize future outages. All of these laws and
regulations may cause us to incur additional costs and could impact
our ability to compete effectively against companies not subject to
the same regulations.
Over the past several years, the FCC has taken various actions and
initiated certain proceedings designed to comprehensively evaluate
the proper regulation of the provisions of data services to
businesses. As part of its evaluation, the FCC has reviewed the
rates, terms and conditions under which these services are
provided. The FCC's proceedings remain pending, and their ultimate
impact on us is currently unknown.
Telephony Services
We operate traditional telecommunications services in our Arizona
subsidiary, and those services are largely governed under rules
established for CLECs under the Communications Act. The
Communications Act entitles our CLEC subsidiary to certain rights,
but as telecommunications carriers, it also subjects them to
regulation by the FCC and the states. Their designation as
telecommunications carriers also results in other regulations that
may affect them and the services they offer.
Interconnection and Intercarrier
Compensation
The Communications Act requires telecommunications carriers to
interconnect directly or indirectly with other telecommunications
carriers. Under the FCC's intercarrier compensation rules, we are
entitled, in some cases, to compensation from carriers when they
use our network to terminate or originate calls and in other cases
are required to compensate another carrier for using its network to
originate or terminate traffic. The FCC and state regulatory
commissions, including those in the states in which we operate,
have adopted limits on the amounts of compensation that may be
charged for certain types of traffic. As noted above, the FCC has
determined that intercarrier compensation for all terminating
traffic will be phased down over several years to a "bill-and-keep"
regime, with no compensation between carriers for most terminating
traffic by 2018 and is considering further reform that could reduce
or eliminate compensation for originating traffic as well.
Universal Service
Our CLEC subsidiary is required to contribute to the Universal
Service Fund (“USF”). The amount of universal service contribution
required of us is based on a percentage of revenues earned from
interstate and international services provided to end users. We
allocate our end user revenues and remit payments to the universal
service fund in accordance with FCC rules. The FCC has ruled that
states may impose state universal service fees on CLEC
telecommunications services.
State Regulation
Our CLEC subsidiary telecommunications services are subject to
regulation by state commissions in each state where we provide
services. In order to provide our services, we must seek approval
from the state regulatory commission or be registered to provide
services in each state where we operate and may at times require
local approval to construct facilities. Regulatory obligations vary
from state to state and include some or all of the following
requirements: filing tariffs (rates, terms and conditions); filing
operational, financial, and customer service reports; seeking
approval to transfer the assets or capital stock of the broadband
communications company; seeking approval to issue stocks, bonds and
other forms of indebtedness of the broadband communications
company; reporting customer service and quality of service
requirements; outage reporting; making contributions to state
universal service support programs; paying regulatory and state
Telecommunications Relay Service and E911 fees; geographic
build-out; and other matters relating to competition.
Other Regulations
Our CLEC subsidiary telecommunications services are subject to
other FCC requirements, including protecting the use and disclosure
of customer proprietary network information; meeting certain notice
requirements in the event of service termination; compliance with
disabilities access requirements; compliance with CALEA standards;
outage reporting; and the payment of fees to fund local number
portability administration and the North American Numbering Plan.
As noted above, the FCC and states are examining whether new
requirements are necessary to improve the resiliency of
communications networks. Communications with our customers are also
subject to FCC, FTC and state regulations on telemarketing and the
sending of unsolicited commercial e-mail and fax messages, as well
as additional privacy and data security requirements.
Broadband
Regulatory Classification.
Broadband Internet access services were traditionally
classified by the FCC as “information services” for regulatory
purposes, a type of service that is subject to a lesser degree of
regulation than “telecommunications services.” In 2015, the FCC
reversed this determination and classified broadband Internet
access services as “telecommunications services.” This
reclassification has subjected our broadband Internet access
service to greater regulation, although the FCC did not apply all
telecommunications service obligations to broadband Internet access
service. The 2015 Order could have a material adverse impact on our
business as it may justify additional FCC regulation or support
efforts by States to justify additional regulation of broadband
Internet access services. In December 2017, the FCC adopted an
order that in large part reverses the 2015 Order and reestablishes
the “information service” classification for broadband Internet
access service. The 2017 Order has not yet gone into effect,
however, and the 2015 Order will remain binding until the 2017
Order takes effect. The 2017 Order is expected to be subject to
legal challenge that may delay its effect or overturn it.
Net Neutrality, and Current Status. The 2015 Order also
established a new “Open Internet” framework that expanded
disclosure requirements on Internet service providers (“ISPs”) such
as cable companies, prohibited blocking, throttling, and paid
prioritization of Internet traffic on the basis of the content, and
imposed a “general conduct standard” that prohibits unreasonable
interference with the ability of end users and edge providers to
reach each other. The FCC's 2017 Order eliminates these rules
except for certain disclosure requirements (see the official
release summary from the FCC below). Additionally, Congress and
some states are considering legislation that may codify “network
neutrality” rules.
The Federal Communications Commission has made the following
official release about the Restoring Internet Freedom Order:
“The FCC's Restoring Internet Freedom Order, which took effect on
June 11, (2018) provides a framework for protecting an open
Internet while paving the way for better, faster and cheaper
Internet access for consumers. It replaces unnecessary,
heavy-handed regulations that were developed way back in 1934 with
strong consumer protections, increased transparency, and
common-sense rules that will promote investment and broadband
deployment. The FCC's framework for protecting Internet freedom has
the following key parts:
1. Consumer Protection
The Federal Trade Commission will police and take action against
Internet service providers for anticompetitive acts or unfair and
deceptive practices. The FTC is the nation's premier consumer
protection agency, and until the FCC stripped it of jurisdiction
over Internet service providers in 2015, the FTC protected
consumers consistently across the Internet economy.
2. Transparency
A critical part of Internet openness involves Internet service
providers being transparent about their business practices. That's
why the FCC has imposed enhanced transparency requirements.
Internet service providers must publicly disclose information
regarding their network management practices, performance, and
commercial terms of service. These disclosures must be made via a
publicly available, easily accessible company website or through
the FCC's website. This will discourage harmful practices and help
regulators target any problematic conduct. These disclosures also
support innovation, investment, and competition by ensuring that
entrepreneurs and other small businesses have the technical
information necessary to create and maintain online content,
applications, services, and devices.
Internet Service Providers must clearly disclose their network
management practices on their own web sites or with the FCC. For
more information about these disclosures, you can visit
https://www.fcc.gov/isp- disclosures.
Removes Unnecessary Regulations to Promote Broadband
Investment
The Internet wasn't broken in 2015, when the previous FCC imposed
1930s-era regulations (known as “Title II”) on Internet service
providers. And ironically, these regulations made things worse by
limiting investment in high-speed networks and slowing broadband
deployment. Under Title II, broadband network investment dropped
more than 5.6% -- the first time a decline has happened outside of
a recession. The effect was particularly serious for smaller
Internet service providers (fixed wireless companies, small-town
cable operators, municipal broadband providers, electric
cooperatives, and others) that don't have the resources or lawyers
to navigate a thicket of complex rules....”
The items listed in this internet Order are for carriers such as
Century Link, which is our contract internet provider, and we are
in compliance with the areas that we are responsible for which are
few. We generate the last mile of internet service but we are
actually a reseller of Century Link services as they provide the
bandwidth to us.
Access for Persons with
Disabilities. The FCC's rules require us to ensure that
persons with disabilities have access to “advanced communications
services” (“ACS”), such as electronic messaging and interoperable
video conferencing. They also require that certain pay television
programming delivered via Internet Protocol include closed
captioning and require entities distributing such programming to
end users to pass through such captions and identify programming
that should be captioned.
Other Regulation. The 2015
Order also subjected broadband providers' Internet traffic exchange
rates and practices to potential FCC oversight and created a
mechanism for third parties to file complaints regarding these
matters. In addition, our provision of Internet services also
subjects us to the limitations on use and disclosure of user
communications and records contained in the Electronic
Communications Privacy Act of 1986. Broadband Internet access
service is also subject to other federal and state privacy laws
applicable to electronic communications.
Additionally, providers of broadband
Internet access services must comply with CALEA, which requires
providers to make their services and facilities accessible for law
enforcement intercept requests. Various other federal and state
laws apply to providers of services that are accessible through
broadband Internet access service, including copyright laws,
telemarketing laws, prohibitions on obscenity, and a ban on
unsolicited commercial e-mail, and privacy and data security laws.
Online content we provide is also subject to some of these
laws.
Other forms of regulation of broadband
Internet access service currently being considered by the FCC,
Congress or state legislatures include consumer protection
requirements, cyber security requirements, consumer service
standards, requirements to contribute to universal service programs
and requirements to protect personally identifiable customer data
from theft. Pending and future legislation in this area could
adversely affect our operations as an Internet service provider and
our relationship with our Internet customers.
Additionally, from time to time the FCC and
Congress have considered whether to subject broadband Internet
access services to the federal Universal Service Fund (“USF”)
contribution requirements. Any contribution requirements adopted
for Internet access services would impose significant new costs on
our broadband Internet service. At the same time, the FCC is
changing the manner in which Universal Service funds are
distributed. By focusing on broadband and wireless deployment,
rather than traditional telephone service, the changes could assist
some of our competitors in more effectively competing with our
service offerings.
VoIP Services
We provide telephony services using VoIP
technology (“interconnected VoIP”). The FCC has adopted several
regulations for interconnected VoIP services, as have several
states, especially as it relates to core customer and safety issues
such as e911, local number portability, disability access, outage
reporting, universal service contributions, and regulatory
reporting requirements. The FCC has not, however, formally
classified interconnected VoIP services as either information
services or telecommunications services. In this vacuum, some
states have asserted more expansive rights to regulate
interconnected VoIP services, while others have adopted laws that
bar the state commission from regulating VoIP service.
Universal Service.
Interconnected VoIP services must contribute to the USF used
to subsidize communication services provided to low income
households, to customers in rural and high cost areas, and to
schools, libraries, and rural health care providers. The amount of
universal service contribution required of interconnected VoIP
service providers is based on a percentage of revenues earned from
interstate and international services provided to end users. We
allocate our end user revenues and remit payments to the universal
service fund in accordance with FCC rules. The FCC has ruled that
states may impose state universal service fees on interconnected
VoIP providers.
Local Number Portability. The FCC
requires interconnected VoIP service providers and their “numbering
partners” to ensure that their customers have the ability to port
their telephone numbers when changing providers. We also contribute
to federal funds to meet the shared costs of local number
portability and the costs of North American Numbering Plan
Administration.
Intercarrier Compensation.
In an October 2011 reform order and subsequent clarifying
orders, the FCC revised the regime governing payments among
providers of telephony services for the exchange of calls between
and among different networks (“intercarrier compensation”) to,
among other things, explicitly include interconnected VoIP. In that
Order, the FCC determined that intercarrier compensation for all
terminating traffic, including VoIP traffic exchanged in TDM
format, will be phased down over several years to a “bill-and-keep”
regime, with no compensation between carriers for most terminating
traffic by 2018. The FCC is considering further reform in this
area, which could reduce or eliminate compensation for originating
traffic as well.
Other Regulation.
Interconnected VoIP service providers are required to provide
enhanced 911 emergency services to their customers; protect
customer proprietary network information from unauthorized
disclosure to third parties; report to the FCC on service outages;
comply with telemarketing regulations and other privacy and data
security requirements; comply with disabilities access requirements
and service discontinuance obligations; comply with call signaling
requirements; and comply with CALEA standards. In August 2015, the
FCC adopted new rules to improve the resiliency of the
communications network. Under the new rules, providers of telephony
services, including interconnected VoIP service providers, must
make available eight hours of standby backup power for consumers to
purchase at the point of sale. The rules also require that
providers inform new and current customers about service
limitations during power outages and steps that consumers can take
to address those risks.
Medical Division
The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) regulates
all of our mobile laboratory testing activities performed on humans
in the United States through Clinical Laboratory Improvement
Amendments (‘CLIA’) which covers approximately 260,000 laboratory
entities. We obtain CLIA licenses where necessary to operate our
mobile laboratories. We also hire staffing agencies that work the
health care industry with the appropriate health care workers to
operate the mobile laboratories, which agencies and workers are
regulated by state and local agencies like the agency for Health
Care Administration in Florida (“AHCA”). Each state and local
jurisdiction has their own agency or regulatory organization that
we follow and adhere to their laws and guidelines in relation
operating our mobile testing facilities.

Our executive offices are located in San Diego, California. We do
not own any real property, but lease and office space consisting of
approximately 15,000 sq. ft. among all of our corporate and
subsidiary locations. We believe that substantially all of our
property and equipment is in good condition, subject to normal wear
and tear, and that our facilities have sufficient capacity to meet
the current needs of our business.
PATENTS, TRADE NAMES, TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS
Either directly or through our subsidiaries, we have rights in
various patents, trade names, trademarks, copyrights and other
intellectual property necessary to conduct our business. Our
services often use the intellectual property of others, including
licensed software. We also occasionally license our intellectual
property to others as we deem appropriate.
We periodically receive offers from third parties to purchase or
obtain licenses for patents and other intellectual property rights
in exchange for royalties or other payments. We also periodically
receive notices, or are named in lawsuits, alleging that our
products or services infringe on patents or other intellectual
property rights of third parties. In certain instances, these
matters can potentially adversely impact our operations, operating
results or financial position. For additional information, see
“Risk Factors”.
LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
We have been named in a lawsuit by EMA Financial, LLC (“EMA”) for
failing to comply with a Securities Purchase Agreement entered into
in June 2019. More specifically, EMA claims the Company failed to
honor notices of conversion, failed to establish and maintain share
reserves, failed to register EMA shares and by failed to assure
that EMA shares were Rule 144 eligible within 6 months. EMA has
claimed in excess of $650,975 in relief. The Company has filed an
answer and counterclaim. The Company does not believe at this time
that any negative outcome would result in more than the $743,491 it
has recorded on its balance sheet as of September 30, 2021.
A lawsuit was filed in Michigan by the one of the former owners of
SpeedConnect, LLC, John Ogren. Mr. Ogren claimed he was owed back
wages related to the acquisition agreement wherein the Company
acquired the assets of SpeedConnect, LLC and kept him on through a
consulting agreement. The Company’s position was that he ultimately
resigned in writing and was not due any back wages. In August 2021,
Mr. Ogren was awarded $334,908 in back wages by an Arbitrator. This
amount has been included in accounts payable as of September 30,
2021 and expensed in the statement of operations as other expenses
in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Mr. Ogren and the
Company have agreed to a settlement whereby the Company would pay
$120,000 within 14 days of a written agreement, which was paid in
October 2021, with four monthly payments of $20,000 starting on
December 5, 2021 through March 2, 2022. $160,000 has been paid to
date on this settlement.
The Company has been named in a lawsuit, Robert Serrett vs. TruCom,
Inc., by a former employee who was terminated by management in
2016. The employee was working under an employment agreement but
was terminated for breach of the agreement. The former employee is
suing for breach of contract and is seeking around $75,000 in back
pay and benefits. We recently learned that Mr. Serrett received a
default judgement in Texas on May 15, 2018 for $70,650 plus $3,500
in attorney fees and 5% interest and court costs. However, he has
made no attempt that we are aware of to obtain a sister state
judgment in Arizona, where Trucom resides, or to try and enforce
the judgement and collect. Management believes it has good and
meritorious defenses and does not belief the outcome of the lawsuit
will have any material effect on the financial position of the
Company.
We have been named in a lawsuit by a collection law firm on behalf
of Pinnacle Towers LLC and Crown Atlantic Company Inc., against TPT
Global Tech, Inc. The claim derives from an outstanding debt by
incurred by Copperhead Digital. The lawsuit is over unpaid rent
that should have been paid by Copperhead Digital but was not paid.
The Company believes it has several defenses to this claim and is
in the process of communicating with opposing counsel for dismissal
of the claims which amount to $386,030.62 plus interest, costs and
attorney fees. The Company has accounted for approximately $600,000
in payables on its consolidated balance sheet as of September 30,
2021 for this subsidiary payable.
We are not currently involved in any litigation that we believe
could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or
results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding,
inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board,
government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or,
to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of
our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our
common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our
subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in
which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect. We
anticipate that we (including current and any future subsidiaries)
will from time to time become subject to claims and legal
proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. It is not
feasible to predict the outcome of any such proceedings and we
cannot assure that their ultimate disposition will not have a
materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
cash flows or results of operations.

Rules Governing Low-price
Stocks That May Affect Our Shareholders' Ability to Resell Shares
of Our Common Stock
Our common stock currently is traded on the OTCQB under the symbol
TPTW.
Quotations on the OTCQB reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail
mark-up, markdown or commission and may not reflect actual
transactions. Our common stock will be subject to certain rules
adopted by the SEC that regulate broker-dealer practices in
connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks
generally are securities with a price of less than $5.00, other
than securities registered on certain national exchanges or quoted
on the NASDAQ system, provided that the exchange or system provides
current price and volume information with respect to transaction in
such securities. The additional sales practice and disclosure
requirements imposed upon broker-dealers are and may discourage
broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares which
could severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede
the sale of shares in the secondary market.
The penny stock rules require broker-dealers, prior to a
transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules,
to make a special suitability determination for the purchaser to
receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to
sale, to deliver standardized risk disclosure documents prepared by
the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature
and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer
must also provide the customer with current bid and offer
quotations for the penny stock. In addition, the penny stock
regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any
transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared
by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the
broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A
broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to
the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current
quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required
to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with
respect to the penny stock held in a customer's account and
information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.
Holders
As of January 18, 2022, we have 434 shareholders of record of our
common stock. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of
sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of
current public information about us. Under Rule 144, a person who
has not been an affiliate at any time during the three months
preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares
proposed to be sold for at least 6 months, is entitled to sell
shares without complying with the manner of sale, volume limitation
or notice provisions of Rule 144.
As of January 18, 2022, our shareholders hold 923,029,038
shares. Additionally, 46,000,000, of the original 75,000,000,
shares will be issued and may be sold pursuant to this Registration
Statement.
Dividends
As of the filing of this prospectus, we have not paid any dividends
on our common stock to shareholders. The Series D Preferred Stock
will be paid 6% per annum on a cumulative basis, in cash or in
registered common stock. There are no restrictions which would
limit our ability to pay dividends on common equity or that are
likely to do so in the future. The Florida Revised Statutes,
however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after
giving effect to the distribution of the dividend; we would not be
able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of
business; or our total assets would be less than the sum of the
total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy
the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to
those receiving the distribution.
