CEO and Chairman Letter to Stockholders: The Next Evolution of WRAP

About this update from Wrap Technologies, Inc.

MIAMI, July 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wrap Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: WRAP) ("Wrap" or, the "Company"), a global public safety technology company, today issues a letter to stockholders from Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Scot Cohen. To Our Shareholders, The past year has been one of the most important in WRAP's history. We are no longer building a company around a single product. We are aiming to build a public safety technology platform designed for the threats of tomorrow. Our mission remains unchanged—to help save lives through safer outcomes—but our vision has expanded significantly. Today, WRAP is positioning itself at the intersection of artificial intelligence, advanced sensing, autonomous decision support, and measured, non-lethal response. We are transforming WRAP from a company known for a single breakthrough restraint device into a technology company building an intelligent operating architecture for public safety and security. Our goal is to create a connected system that enables agencies to detect threats earlier, understand them faster, and respond with appropriate, accountable force. Every decision we have made over the past year supports that direction. The first pillar is validation. This year, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) issued a ruling determining that the BolaWrap® 150 is not a firearm or "any other weapon" under federal law, but an instrument of restraint. We believe this decision removes regulatory uncertainty, may simplify procurement, and supports remote restraint as a distinct category within modern public safety. We believe it may also expand our commercial opportunity by easing adoption across law enforcement and by supporting potential opportunities in corrections, healthcare, transportation, education, government, and private security. More broadly, it reflects growing recognition that agencies need response options aligned with today's legal standards and operational realities. The second pillar is intelligence. Public safety increasingly depends on understanding threats before contact occurs. This led to our investment in Frenel Imaging Ltd. and exclusive commercialization rights for its thermal-polarimetric sensing technology across the United States and NATO markets. Advanced sensing is becoming foundational to modern security as the threats that burden society become increasingly more difficult to detect. Effective response begins with detection, classification, and understanding. We believe thermal-polarimetric imaging, artificial intelligence, and edge computing may play a central role in protecting cities, borders, infrastructure, and public spaces.
