INTRODUCTION

You are receiving this Information Statement to inform the shareholders of High Wire Networks, Inc. (the "Company") of a change in control of the Company and a change in the majority of the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") which occurred pursuant to that certain Securities Exchange Agreement dated March 3, 2026 (the "Agreement") by and among the Company, Thoth Aerospace Inc., a New York corporation ("Thoth"), Mark W. Porter, the former sole officer and director of the Company ("Porter"), and Dennis O'Leary, the sole shareholder of Thoth (the "Selling Shareholder").

CHANGE IN CONTROL

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, effective March 3, 2026 (the "Effective Time"), the Selling Shareholder, who owned all of the issued and outstanding securities of Thoth, transferred all of the Thoth securities to the Company in exchange for the issuance by the Company of 16,597,353 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the "Common Stock"), representing 80% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis immediately after the Closing (the "Shares"). The number of shares of Common Stock issued to the Selling Shareholder was calculated pursuant to the following formula:

Shares = (Target Percentage × Total Outstanding Shares) ÷ (1 - Target Percentage)

where Target Percentage equals 80% and Total Outstanding Shares means all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock plus all shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants, convertible securities and other rights, whether or not then exercisable or vested, on a fully diluted basis immediately prior to the issuance of the shares to the Selling Shareholder.

In addition, at the Effective Time, Mark W. Porter sold 1,000 shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock (constituting all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding and representing voting control of the Company) to the Selling Shareholder for $1.00.

Upon completion of the issuance of the Shares and the sale of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Selling Shareholder owned 16,597,353 shares of Common Stock, or 80% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis, and 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which resulted in a change of control of the Company. As a result of the transaction, Thoth became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

In connection with the Agreement, effective March 3, 2026, Mark W. Porter resigned from all officer and director positions held with the Company, and Dennis M. O'Leary was appointed as the Company's Chief Executive Officer and as a director of the Company effective March 3, 2026.

DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

The following discussion sets forth information regarding Porter, the Company's former sole executive officer and director, and Mr. O'Leary who was appointed as the sole director and executive officer of the Company at the Effective Time.

Each member of the Company's board of directors shall serve until his successor is elected and qualified, or until his earlier resignation, death or removal. Officers are appointed annually by the Board and each serves at the discretion of the Board.

Current Directors and Executive Officers:

Name Age Position
Dennis M. O'Leary 63 Chief Executive Officer and Director

Dennis M. O'Leary

Mr. O'Leary was appointed to serve as the Company's Chief Executive Officer and as a director of the Company effective March 3, 2026. Mr. O'Leary, age 62, is the sole shareholder of Thoth and served as Chief Executive Officer of Thoth prior to the acquisition by the Company.

Mr. O'Leary is a serial entrepreneur with significant international experience having founded Sulu Electric Power and Light Corp (Philippines), a firm with expertise in utility scale power generation and solar energy. In 2010, Mr. O'Leary co-founded DarkPulse Technologies Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of DarkPulse, Inc., which is developing specialized devices that monitor activities along national borders and provide structural health and safety monitoring of oil and gas pipelines. He holds extensive start-up experience including multiple exit strategies.

Mr. O'Leary currently serves as Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of DarkPulse, Inc., a position he has held since April 2018. Mr. O'Leary is an Ambassador for the Province of New Brunswick, Canada, and a Research Member of the NATO Science and Technology Organization.

While at the NYPD, he was assigned to the Department of Justice as a member of the FBI's investigative team with internal designation C14. He is a licensed private pilot with turbine experience.

The Company believes that Mr. O'Leary's extensive entrepreneurial experience, particularly in technology and start-up ventures, as well as his leadership of a publicly-traded company, makes him well qualified to serve as the Company's Chief Executive Officer and as a director.

Mr. Porter served as the Company's sole officer and director and was a holder of shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock prior to the Effective Time. Mr. Porter had served as an officer, director, and consultant to the Company since approximately 2019. Effective March 3, 2026, in connection with the transactions described above, Mark W. Porter resigned from all officer and director positions held with the Company.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

To the Company's knowledge, the Company's sole director and executive officer has not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

1. the subject of any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

6. the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(26))), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1(a)(29))), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings.

Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms available to the Company following the recent change in control, the Company is not aware of any failures by its officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners to file on a timely basis reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. However, due to the recent change in control and management, the Company's current management has not completed a comprehensive review of all Section 16(a) filings for the prior fiscal year.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Due to the small size and early stage of the Company following the transaction, we have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separate or combined. Currently, Mr. O'Leary serves as our sole director and Chief Executive Officer.
