Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

When we refer to “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company” in this Current Report on Form 8-K, we mean Ammo, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

 

As previously disclosed in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K (the “Periodic Reports”), under the terms of the 2017 merger between our wholly-owned subsidiary, AMMO Technologies Inc., an Arizona corporation (“ATI”) and Hallam, Inc. (“Hallam”), ATI succeeded to all of the assets of Hallam and assumed the liabilities of Hallam, which were none. The primary asset of Hallam was an exclusive license to produce projectiles and ammunition using the Hybrid Luminescence Ammunition Technology under patent U.S. 8,402,896 B1 with a publication date of March 26, 2013 owned by University of Louisiana at Lafayette (“ULL”). The license was formally amended and assigned to ATI pursuant to an Assignment and First Amendment to Exclusive License Agreement Assumption Agreement dated to be effective as of August 22, 2017, the merger closing date.

 

As also previously disclosed in the Periodic Reports, one of our products is STREAK VISUAL AMMUNITION™ which enables shooters to see the path of the bullets fired by them. We refer to the technology used by our STREAK VISUAL AMMUNITION™ as one-way luminescent or O.W.L. Technology™. We hold the exclusive worldwide sales and distribution rights for the patented technology used by our STREAK VISUAL AMMUNITION™ via our license agreement with ULL. We pay ULL a royalty based on our product sales incorporating this patented technology.

 

Finally, as previously disclosed in the Periodic Reports, we have been using our O.W.L. Technology™ to compete for military contracts in part because we believe the glow of STREAK VISUAL AMMUNITION™ not being visible to the target (which is unlike conventional tracers) is important to the military and law enforcement.

 

Although we believe the above disclosure has made clear that our license with ULL allows us to use the Hybrid Luminescence Ammunition Technology for all purposes, including military purposes, we are filing this Current Report on Form 8-K for the sole purpose of clarifying that military use is allowed pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Exclusive License Agreement between ATI and ULL which was dated as of November 16, 2017 and effective as of January 1, 2018 (the “A&R License Agreement”). The A&R License Agreement expires on January 1, 2022 and is renewable in the Company’s sole discretion for successive four (4) year periods provided the Company is not in breach of the A&R License Agreement. The foregoing description of the A&R License Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R License Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
