Jason Maddox, 46, has served as the President of the Company since October 16, 2024, Chief Executive Officer of Maddox Defense, Inc. (“Maddox Defense”) since June 2008 and Chief Executive Officer of Maddox Industries LLC (“Maddox Industries”) from January 2021 until the acquisition of Maddox Industries by the Company in December 2024. He delivers years of large company executive leadership, successfully building Maddox Defense to one of the major players in government contracting. Mr. Maddox graduated from the University of Colorado with a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering and journalism and mass communication.

On December 18, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in Maddox Industries (the “Purchased Interests”) from Jason Maddox, the sole member of Maddox Industries immediately prior to the Closing Date, in exchange for 3,100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.00001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) (with an aggregate value of approximately $4.3 million based on the closing price of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market as of the Closing Date), pursuant to that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated October 30, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Maddox Industries, Jason Maddox and the Company.
