Martin Cronin, Patriot One President

reflect on what we had achieved in a remarkably short period since our
inception just over a year ago. Given the extraordinarily positive global
response for our efforts to-date, we identified that the Company had to look
carefully at our operational structure. With the speed-to-market we have to
achieve in 2018, we need to act decisively to ensure we can manage our
projected business growth, product rollout and corporate alliances with key
partners. I am delighted that Dinesh will now be available to focus on the bigger
picture of corporate development and strategic alliances. No one has been as
dedicated and worked more tirelessly as he has since the very start of this
endeavor. It speaks volumes that his role will be replaced by a team. While the
entire Board and myself are sincerely and personally very pleased to have his
continued expertise at hand, we also are excited to welcome Robert and Paul to
our growing leadership team. 2018 will see remarkable advancements, as we continue
our efforts to rid the world of tragic and random acts of violence.”
