ILUS Provides an Update on the Binding Term Sheet Signed with Actelis Networks (NASDAQ: ASNS)

NEW YORK, NY - (NewMediaWire) - May 31, 2024 - ILUS International Inc. (OTC: ILUS) is a mergers and acquisitions company focused on acquiring and growing businesses in the public safety and industrial sectors. The company recently signed a binding term sheet with Actelis Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASNS) for ASNS to acquire its 61% stake in the ILUS Industrial subsidiary, Quality Industrial Corp (OTC: QIND), subject to customary terms for closing. 

At the closing, Actelis will issue to the sellers 19.99% of its common stock and preferred non-voting shares for the balance of the consideration. The companies aim to close the transaction, pending regulatory requirements and due diligence, within 60 days. The preferred shares shall not be convertible to common stock before six months after the closing or until a registration statement is effective, whichever occurs sooner. The exact number of shares of the Company to be issued to the sellers will be based on a ratio of valuations of ASNS and QIND to be determined between the parties before closing.

After the transaction is completed, QIND will operate as the industrial subsidiary of ASNS, working alongside Actelis Networks, Inc. (Actelis), which will function as the technology subsidiary of ASNS. ASNS will consolidate the financials of both of its subsidiaries. 

ILUS CEO, Nicolas Link, stated, "We believe that the acquisition of our stake in QIND by Nasdaq-listed ASNS will accelerate the growth of our Industrial subsidiary as well as ILUS itself. Following the completion of the transaction, our resultant stake in ASNS should significantly enhance our ILUS balance sheet and provide an improved platform for us to raise additional capital for the expansion of QIND and to complete planned acquisitions. As a company, should we elect to convert our preferred non-voting ASNS shares when the option becomes available, we could become the largest ASNS shareholder. This transaction is aimed at being the first in a series of transactions intended for the growth of our businesses and to add substantial value for our Shareholders. Our unwavering goal has been to uplist our subsidiaries and enhance the growth of our businesses and this transaction represents a constructive first step towards reaching that important milestone."

Actelis is a leading provider of cyber-hardened, rapid-deployment networking solutions for wide-area IoT applications. Their solutions cater to various sectors including federal, state and local government, ITS, military, utility, rail, telecom, and campus applications. Actelis offers a unique portfolio of hybrid fiber, environmentally hardened aggregation switches, high-density Ethernet devices, advanced management software, and cyber-protection capabilities. Their solutions aim to maximize the potential of essential networks, providing secure and cost-effective connectivity for rapid deployment.

QIND is a manufacturer and service provider for the industrial, oil and gas, and utility sectors. The company is involved in the design, consultation, supply, installation, and maintenance of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) systems. Currently, the company services nearly 40,000 customers from its 7 operating facilities in the United Arab Emirates, employing nearly 100 personnel. QIND is an internationally certified company that provides services to customers such as Emirates Airlines, Emaar, Government of Dubai, Dubai Properties, WASL Group, and others.

ILUS and QIND are confident that teaming up with Actelis will open up new group expansion opportunities. QIND can leverage Actelis' advanced technology and smart-grid solutions to deliver remote monitoring, automated delivery, and billing, as well as real-time forecasting and supply chain optimization. Additionally, Actelis is expanding its business into new geographical regions with applications in new, critical verticals such as energy, utilities, and public safety. 

Actelis is also exploring additional synergies with ILUS' public safety subsidiary, Emergency Response Technologies Inc. ("ERT") (OTC: SAML), although ERT is not part of the current transaction. ERT specializes in designing, manufacturing, and supplying patented firefighting technologies and various solutions for the public safety sector.
