• Strategic Investment in Frenel Imaging

  WRAP purchased 74,918 Series A Preferred Shares of Frenel Imaging Ltd. for $2,000,000, with $300,000 previously advanced. The investment gives WRAP a stake in the Israeli advanced-sensing company.

• Exclusive Distribution License Secured

  WRAP obtained an exclusive 4-year license to market, sell, and distribute Frenel's TPiCore thermal-polarimetric imaging software in the U.S. and to NATO customers.

WRAP Technologies is pivoting from a single-product public safety company to an integrated defense platform. The $2 million investment in Frenel Imaging and the exclusive distribution license for TPiCore thermal-polarimetric sensing technology form the detection layer of the newly launched WrapShield autonomous defense platform. This deal gives WRAP exclusive U.S. and NATO commercialization rights to a sensing capability that management believes cannot be spoofed or jammed, targeting the counter-UAS and broader defense markets. To maintain exclusivity, WRAP must meet performance milestones outlined in the license agreement, and the company holds an option to invest up to an additional $2.5 million. Combined with recent positive developments—including the ATF classification of BolaWrap 150 and strong international orders—this transaction signals an aggressive expansion into higher-value defense and security markets.
