NEW YORK, NY / June 24, 2022 / Guardforce AICo., Limited (“Guardforce AI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:GFAI,GFAIW), an integrated security solutions provider, announced today that it has acquired Beijing Wanjia Security System Co., Ltd. (“BJWJ”) from Shenzhen Yeantec Co., Limited (“Yeantec”) for approximately US $8.4 million. BJWJ is an integrated security solution provider with more than 25 years of experience, focusing on fire alarm security systems, and a well-established customer base among retail businesses.

As previously announced, on May 24, 2022, Guardforce AI entered into two definitive agreements to acquire a total of eight companies in China. The second definitive agreement, to acquire an additional seven companies from Shenzhen Kewei Robot Technology Co., Limited (“Kewei”), is still expected to close in the third quarter of 2022. The seven companies to be acquired from Kewei are established providers of Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) solutions in their respective markets in China.

Importantly, this acquisition brings to Guardforce AI an established customer base among retail businesses in different industries. Our global expansion strategy not only includes expanding geographically, but also building a more diverse customer base. We look forward to leveraging these newly acquired capabilities across our global platform and accelerating the commercial rollout of our integrated security initiatives. Additionally, we look forward to closing the acquisition of Kewei’s seven robotics companies in the third quarter of 2022.”
