HERO\u2019s product portfolio includes the HERO 2020, a compact irritant launcher that deploys PAVA-filled projectiles through a cartridge system, and AIIRO, a smaller, extended range pepper-gel personal defense device designed for pocket, purse, and everyday carry. HERO also offers refill cartridges and other accessories, creating an entry-level approachable product family that supports Byrna\u2019s focus on expanding its target audience, increasing consumer engagement frequency, and recurring consumable purchases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe acquisition of HERO is a small but strategically important step in expanding the Byrna ecosystem,\u201d said Conn Davis, Chief Executive Officer of Byrna. \u201cOur focus is on making less-lethal personal safety more accessible, understandable, and relevant to a wider set of consumers. Today, Byrna\u2019s CL, LE, and SD launchers serve consumers looking for a robust less-lethal platform for personal defense and security applications. HERO fits below and adjacent to our existing platform by adding smaller, more discreet and accessible products that can introduce consumers to less-lethal personal safety through a lower friction entry point and a more approachable form factor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Davis continued, \u201cWe are focused on improving the full consumer journey from awareness and education to product selection, purchase, and long-term engagement. HERO\u2019s compact form factors, simpler everyday-carry positioning, and lower opening price points give us more flexibility in how we introduce consumers to the category. Over time, we believe this creates a broader product portfolio and a more complete ecosystem that enables more consumers to enter the less-lethal personal protection space and trade up to our more robust launcher platform over time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The acquisition is part of Byrna\u2019s effort to expand its addressable market and improve consumer acquisition across channels. HERO\u2019s products also provide additional advertising, merchandising, and education opportunities across Byrna\u2019s e-commerce, creator, affiliate, and retail channels.<\/p>\n<p>Under the terms of the agreement, Byrna will acquire substantially all of HERO\u2019s assets, including its product-related intellectual property, digital assets, customer and vendor relationships, inventory, equipment and related business assets. The transaction is structured as an asset purchase on a cash-free, debt-free basis, with consideration consisting of $625,000 in cash, $625,000 in restricted shares of Byrna common stock, and a performance-based royalty tied to future net sales of HERO products and derivative products. The shares of Byrna common stock to be issued as consideration will be issued in a private placement in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be subject to transfer restrictions. The transaction is expected to close within approximately 30 days, subject to customary closing conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Following the closing, Byrna expects to begin integrating HERO\u2019s products and related assets into its broader commercial and operating platform. HERO\u2019s founders are expected to provide transition and integration support following the closing. The Company plans to evaluate opportunities to support the HERO product line through Byrna\u2019s e-commerce channels, consumer education initiatives, retail relationships and evolving brand and performance marketing programs. Over time, Byrna expects to assess where HERO products can complement Byrna.com, Amazon, and retail merchandising.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Byrna Technologies Inc.<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Byrna is a personal defense technology company specializing in the development, manufacture, and sale of innovative less-lethal personal security solutions.
