"This investors update follows the recent closing of the Company's oversubscribed $4.4 million private placement and the acquisition of the Low Energy Cartridge ("LEC") system. The proceeds from this financing will be used to accelerate our go-to-market initiatives of KWESST's various products," said David Luxton, KWESST's Executive Chairman. "One priority for KWESST is to begin the commercialization of the LEC system with an accelerated plan in response to market interest and high growth across all segments of the non-lethal market. In this market, there a strong preference being expressed for a safer, cartridge-based system over traditional systems, such as taser, beanbag shotgun shells and rubber bullets, which can and do result in fatalities."

Mr. Luxton described the LEC system potential markets: "We see the LEC system as having universal application across four market segments that currently use a variety of dated "non-lethal" or "less-lethal" products, each having a vast global market. These segments are (i) public order (riots and control of dangerous subjects), (ii) military and law enforcement training (realistic force-on-force training), (iii) personal defence (home, car, boat, RV, camping, hiking), and (iv) high-action gaming. The kind of fatalities that have led to widespread protests in the U.S. are just one example of the need for more advanced solutions that enable law enforcement to engage with more benign devices from a safer stand-off distance and ensure that everyone goes home alive."
