WE ARE NOT SOLICITING YOUR PROXY. NO VOTE OR OTHER ACTION BY THE COMPANY’S STOCKHOLDERS IS REQUIRED WITH RESPECT TO THE MATTERS DISCUSSED HEREIN
BACKGROUND
On April 27, 2018, Klever Marketing, Inc. a Delaware Corporation (“ Parent ”), DarkPulse Technologies Inc. a New Brunswick Corporation (“ Target Company ”) and DPTH Acquisition Corporation, a Utah Corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “ Merger Subsidiary ”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, (the “ Merger Agreement ”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Subsidiary will merge with and into Target Company (the “ Merger ”), and Target Company will be the surviving corporation to the Merger and become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The Merger is expected to close on or about May 30, 2018, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.
As of the effective time of the Merger (the “ Merger Time ”), each share of Target Company common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Time will be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive 85,000 fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock (“ Common Stock ”) of Parent (the “ Merger Common Stock ”). Parent will issue to each holder of Target Company common stock certificates or Book Entries (as defined in the Merger Agreement) evidencing the number of shares of Merger Common Stock determined in accordance with the foregoing, being approximately 85,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As of April 27, 2018, the Target Company had 1,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock or other securities issued and outstanding.
Parent has made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including: (i) to conduct its business in the ordinary course during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the Merger Time, (ii) not to engage in certain kinds of transactions or take certain actions during such interim period, and (iii) obtain all consents and approvals necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Additionally, prior to the Merger, Parent must (i) effect a reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock to ensure that there are no more than 15,000,000 shares of Parent common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Time (the “ Reverse Stock Split ”), and (ii) ensure that all outstanding options, preferred stock, or other securities convertible into common stock have been cancelled, except that Parent shall be permitted to have outstanding a maximum of $150,000 in convertible promissory notes convertible into common stock of Parent at the Merger Time, which shall be retained by Parent post-Merger (the “ Assumed Liabilities ”). Prior to the Merger, Target Company must (i) ensure that there are not more than 1,000 shares of Target common stock issued and outstanding. Accordingly, after issuance of the Parent Common Stock in connection with the Merger, it is anticipated that shareholders of Parent immediately prior to the Merger will own approximately 15% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Parent immediately after effecting the Merger. Finally, at closing of the Merger, Target Company shall pay $150,000 to Parent or certain of Parent’s creditors or preferred shareholders as directed by Parent.
The foregoing description of the Merger and Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 2, 2018, and which is incorporated herein by reference.
By the Merger Time, the new management described below will be installed, the reverse stock split will be effected, and the Company will be engaged in the development and marketing of Target Company’s technologies. Shortly after the Merger, the Company intends to change its name to DarkPulse Technologies, Inc. or a similar name.
In connection with the Merger and Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to the appointment of Dennis M. O’Leary and Dr. Thomas A. Cellucci (collectively, the “ New Directors ”) to serve as directors of the Company as of the Merger Time. Separately, each of the Company’s current directors and officers has tendered or will tender their resignation from all positions with the Company to be considered effective as of the Merger Time.

Board of Directors and Corporate Governance
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for establishing broad corporate policies and for overseeing our overall management. In addition to considering various matters which require board approval, the Board provides advice and counsel to, and ultimately monitors the performance of, our executive officer(s). All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Officers are elected to serve, subject to the discretion of the Board, until their successors are appointed.
Mr. O’Leary will become our Chief Executive Officer and Board Chairman, and Dr. Cellucci will become our Co-CEO and Director. We do not intend to designate a lead independent director. We believe that this structure will be appropriate for the Company after Merger Time until such time as the Board may be expanded. Specifically, we believe that the proposed leadership structure will provide sufficient leadership and engagement in our operations.
Structure of the Board of Directors
Our board of directors will initially consist of two directors upon completion of the Merger, each of whom will also all serve as officers as designated above.
Committees of Our Board of Directors
The board of directors intends to establish three standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating committee.
The membership of each committee has not yet been determined.
Our board of directors expects to adopt written charters for each of its committees. Current copies of all committee charters will appear on our website at www.darkpulse.com and will be available in printed form upon written request delivered to the attention of our corporate secretary at Attn: Corporate Secretary, DarkPulse Technologies Inc., 8760 Virginia Meadows Dr., Manassas, Virginia, 20109, after the Merger Time or approximately May 30, 2018.
7 |
Audit Committee
The audit committee’s primary functions, among others will be to: (a) assist the board of directors in discharging its statutory and fiduciary responsibilities with regard to audits of the books and records of our Company and the monitoring of its accounting and financial reporting practices; (b) carry on appropriate oversight to determine that our Company and its subsidiaries have adequate administrative and internal accounting controls and that they are operating in accordance with prescribed procedures and codes of conduct; and (c) independently review our Company’s financial information that is distributed to stockholders and the general public. We will not initially have an Audit Committee.
Compensation Committee
The compensation committee will review and approve on an annual basis the goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation and the annual compensation of our executive officers in light of their respective performance evaluations. Our compensation committee will be responsible for administering our equity plans, including approval of individual grants of stock options and other awards. The company does not presently have a compensation committee .
Nominating Committee
The nominating committee will be primarily responsible for identifying individuals qualified to serve as members of our board of directors, recommending individuals to our board of directors for nomination as directors and committee membership, reviewing the compensation paid to our non-employee directors and recommending adjustments in director compensation, as necessary, in addition to overseeing the annual evaluation of our board of directors. We will not initially have a Nominating Committee .
Code of Conduct
Our board of directors will adopted a code of business conduct and ethics relating to the conduct of our business by our employees, officers and directors, which will be posted on our Company website after the Merger Time.
Role of the Board in Risk Oversight
One of the key functions of our board of directors will be to inform oversight of our risk management process. The board of directors will not have a standing risk management committee, but rather will administer this oversight function directly through the board of directors as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of our board of directors that will address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our board of directors will be responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure and our audit committee will have the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The audit committee will also monitor compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Our nominating committee will monitor the effectiveness of our corporate governance practices, including whether they are successful in preventing illegal or improper liability-creating conduct. Our compensation committee will assess and monitor whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of the expected members of the compensation committee nor any new director expected to become a member of the compensation committee will have at any time during the last completed fiscal year been an officer or employee of our Company. None of our executive officers will have served as a member of the board of directors or as a member of the compensation or similar committee, of any entity that has one or more executive officers who served on our board of directors during the last completed fiscal year.
None of the members of the compensation committee will have at any time during the last completed fiscal year been an officer or employee of our Company. None of our executive officers will have served as a member of the board of directors, or as a member of the compensation or similar committee, of any entity that has one or more executive officers who served on our board of directors or compensation committee during the last completed fiscal year. We do not currently have a compensation committee.
8 |
Family Relationships
There is no family relationship among the New Directors or new executive officers.
Legal Proceedings
There are no material proceedings pursuant to which any of the New Directors or any of the persons expected to serve as executive officers is a party adverse to the Company.
Code of Ethics
We do not currently have a code of ethics. We believe this approach is appropriate in light of the Company’s current capital structure and level of operations, but we expect to continue to evaluate the appropriateness of adopting a code of ethics as our Company continues to develop.
Communication to the Board of Directors
After the Merger Time, you may contact our Board of Directors or any director by mail addressed to the attention of our entire Board or the specific director identified by name or title, at c/o DarkPulse Technologies Inc. at 8760 Virginia Meadows Dr., Manassas, Virginia, 20109.

Footnotes to preceding table-none
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Our predecessor board of directors adopted a written policy regarding transactions with related persons, which we refer to as our related party transaction approval policy. Our related party transaction approval policy requires that any executive officer proposing to enter into a transaction with a “related party” generally must promptly disclose to our audit committee the proposed transaction and all material facts with respect thereto. In reviewing a transaction, our audit committee will consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including (1) the commercial reasonableness of the terms, (2) the benefit and perceived benefits, or lack thereof, to us, (3) the opportunity costs of alternate transactions and (4) the materiality and character of the related party’s interest, and the actual or apparent conflict of interest of the related party.
9 |
Our audit committee will not approve or ratify a related party transaction unless it determines that, upon consideration of all relevant information, the transaction is beneficial to our Company and stockholders and the terms of the transaction are fair to our Company. No related party transaction will be consummated without the approval or ratification of our audit committee. It will be our policy that a director will recuse his or her self from any vote relating to a proposed or actual related party transaction in which they have an interest. Under our related party transaction approval policy, a “related party” includes any of our directors, director nominees, executive officers, any beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock and any immediate family member of any of the foregoing. Related party transactions exempt from our policy include transactions available to all of our employees and stockholders on the same terms and transactions between us and the related party that, when aggregated with the amount of all other transactions between us and the related party or its affiliates, involve less than $120,000 in a fiscal year.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
