Mr. Sokolow will continue to serve on SKYX's Board of Directors, which he joined in 2015.

I strongly believe that SKYX's recent filling of its mandatory safety standardization application with the National Electrical Code (NEC) for its outlet receptacle platform for ceilings in homes and buildings, as well as its acquisition of 60 lighting and home decor websites, positions SKYX to revolutionize the lighting and smart home industries.

"As evidence, I agreed for the majority of my compensation to be paid in SKYX's stock and stock options. I look forward to joining Rani and to continue working together with John Campi, and the exceptional SKYX management team which includes several true leaders from a variety of industries."
