**SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT**

The following table sets forth certain information concerning the number of shares of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock owned beneficially as of March 17, 2026, or convertible or exercisable within the next 60 days thereafter, by: (i) our directors; (ii) our named executive officers; (iii) each person or group known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock; and (iv) all executive officers and directors as a group. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Except as indicated by footnote, the persons named in the table below have sole voting power and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The ownership percentages in this column have been calculated on the basis of treating as outstanding for a particular person, all
shares of our capital stock outstanding on March 17, 2026, and all shares of Common Stock issuable to that person in the event of the
conversion of outstanding preferred stock owned by that person that are convertible within 60 days of March 17, 2026. On March 17, 2026,
there were:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· 20,746,691 shares of Common Stock outstanding (20,746,691 votes);

· 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred outstanding (22,299,691 votes, representing
51% of total voting power);

· 943 shares of Series D Preferred outstanding (167,555 votes on an as-converted
basis);

· 311 shares of Series E Preferred outstanding (53,828 votes on an as-converted
basis);

· 90 shares of Series F Preferred outstanding (90,452 votes on an as-converted
basis); and

· 53 shares of Series G Preferred outstanding (366,667 votes on an as-converted
basis, subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation).

The shares of Series B Preferred shall be voted together with the shares of Common Stock such that the aggregate voting power of the Series B Preferred is equal to 51% of the total voting power of the Company. Each outstanding share of Series D Preferred, Series E Preferred, Series F Preferred and Series G Preferred is entitled to vote with the Common Stock on an as-converted basis.

To calculate a stockholder's percentage of beneficial ownership, we include in the numerator and denominator the Common Stock outstanding and all shares of Common Stock issuable to that person in the event of the conversion of outstanding preferred stock owned by that person that are convertible within 60 days of March 17, 2026. However, holders of Series G Preferred will not be able to convert such preferred stock and receive shares of Common Stock upon such conversion to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after conversion, the holder would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series G Preferred (a "Blocker Restriction"). Common Stock and derivative securities held by other stockholders are disregarded in this calculation. Therefore, the denominator used in calculating beneficial ownership among our stockholders may differ. Unless we have indicated otherwise, each person named in the table has sole voting power and sole investment power for the shares listed opposite such person's name.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Mr. O'Leary's business address is 3 Columbus Circle, Floor 15, New York, NY 10019.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Represents 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation for the Series B Preferred Stock of
the Company, shares of Series B Preferred shall be voted together with the outstanding shares of Common Stock such that the aggregate
voting power of the Series B Preferred is equal to 51% of the total voting power of the Company (22,299,691 votes out of 43,724,884 total
votes). However, shares of Series B Preferred are not convertible into Common Stock.

**ACTION 1. APPROVAL OF NAME CHANGE**

***Background and Reason for the Name Change***

On March 3, 2026, a change in control of the Company occurred. As reported in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 6, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding securities of Thoth Aerospace Inc., a New York corporation ("**Thoth**"), in exchange for the issuance by the Company of 16,597,353 shares of the Company's common stock to Dennis O'Leary, the sole shareholder of Thoth (the "**Selling Shareholder**"), representing 80% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis immediately after the closing. In addition, at the closing, Mark W. Porter, the Company's former sole officer and director, sold 1,000 shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock to Mr. O'Leary for $1.00. As a result of this transaction, Mr. O'Leary acquired control of the Company, holding 88.96% of the total voting power of the Company.

In connection with the change in control, Mark W. Porter resigned from all officer and director positions held with the Company effective March 3, 2026, and Dennis M. O'Leary was appointed as the Company's Chief Executive Officer and as a director of the Company effective March 3, 2026.

***Background of Dennis M. O'Leary***

Dennis M. O'Leary, age 63, is a serial entrepreneur with significant international experience having founded Sulu Electric Power and Light Corp (Philippines), a firm with expertise in utility scale power generation and solar energy. In 2010, Mr. O'Leary co-founded DarkPulse Technologies Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of DarkPulse, Inc., which is developing specialized devices that monitor activities along national borders and provide structural health and safety monitoring of oil and gas pipelines. He holds extensive start-up experience including multiple exit strategies.

Mr. O'Leary currently serves as Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of DarkPulse, Inc., a position he has held since April 2018. Mr. O'Leary is an Ambassador for the Province of New Brunswick, Canada, and a Research Member of the NATO Science and Technology Organization. He has served as a member of the Board at Arizona State University's School of Engineering, Global Resolve as Chair of the Impact Committee.

His previous employment includes the NYPD where he worked as a member of the Manhattan North Tactical Narcotics Team, which prosecuted establishments involved in the illegal distribution of narcotics. He was a member of a joint taskforce working with the DEA and USINS in the execution of warrants related to narcotics trafficking. While at the NYPD, he was assigned to the Department of Justice as a member of the FBI's investigative team with internal designation C14. He is a licensed private pilot with turbine experience.

***Reason for the Name Change***

Following the change in control and in connection with the Company's new strategic direction under Mr. O'Leary's leadership, the Board of Directors (the "**Board**") determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to change the Company's name to better reflect the Company's current management and future business plans.

On March 12, 2026, by unanimous written consent, the Board approved, subject to stockholder approval, the change of the Company's name from "High Wire Networks, Inc." to "O'Leary Industries, Inc." (the "**Name Change**"). The Board also set the Record Date for the Name Change as March 12, 2026, subject to rescission or modification by the Chief Executive Officer at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Name Change. The Board recommended that stockholders vote FOR the Name Change.

On March 17, 2026, Dennis O'Leary, as the holder of a majority of the voting power of the Company, executed a written consent approving the Name Change.

***Effect of the Name Change***

The Name Change will be effected by filing an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation (the "**Articles Amendment**") with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The Name Change will become effective upon the filing of the Articles Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State.

Upon effectiveness of the Name Change, our legal name will be "O'Leary Industries, Inc." The Name Change will not affect the validity of currently outstanding stock certificates representing shares of our Common Stock or Preferred Stock. Stockholders will not be required to exchange their existing stock certificates for new stock certificates. However, stockholders who wish to obtain new stock certificates bearing the new name may do so by contacting our transfer agent.

After the effectiveness of the Name Change, our Common Stock will have a new Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures (CUSIP) number, which is a number used to identify our equity securities.

The Company will be required to file a Corporate Action application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to effect the Name Change and any related trading symbol change. FINRA's approval of the Corporate Action application is required before the new name and trading symbol can be reflected in trading systems. The timing of FINRA's review and approval is not within the Company's control, and there can be no assurance as to when, or if, FINRA will approve the Corporate Action application. The Company's Common Stock will continue to trade under its current name and symbol until FINRA approval is obtained.

Following the Name Change and subject to approval by FINRA, the Company also intends to change the trading symbol for its Common Stock on the OTC Markets. The Board has authorized the change of the trading symbol to either (i) EPIC, (ii) PEAK, or (iii) NOVA, as determined by management. The specific symbol will be selected based on availability and FINRA approval requirements, and will be announced by the Company in a subsequent filing or press release.

The Name Change will not affect:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The rights of stockholders under our Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws;

· The number of authorized shares of our Common Stock or Preferred Stock;

· The number of issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock or Preferred
Stock;

· The par value of our Common Stock or Preferred Stock;

· The terms, rights, or preferences of any class or series of our capital stock;
or

· Any stockholder's proportionate ownership interest in the Company.

***Effect on Outstanding Securities, Options, and Warrants***

The Name Change will not affect any outstanding options, warrants, convertible securities, or other rights to acquire shares of our Common Stock. All such securities will remain outstanding on the same terms and conditions as before the Name Change, except that they will relate to shares of common stock of "O'Leary Industries, Inc." instead of "High Wire Networks, Inc."

***No Appraisal Rights***

Under Nevada law and our charter documents, holders of our Common Stock will not be entitled to dissenter's rights or appraisal rights with respect to the Name Change.

***Interests of Directors and Executive Officers***

Our directors and executive officers have no substantial interests, directly or indirectly, in the Name Change except to the extent of their ownership of shares of our Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock.

***Costs***

The costs associated with the Name Change are expected to be minimal and will include the filing fee for the Articles Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State and any costs associated with changing our trading symbol with OTC Markets and obtaining a new CUSIP number.

***Federal Income Tax Consequences***

The Name Change is not expected to result in any federal income tax consequences to the Company or its stockholders. Stockholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences, if any, of the Name Change in their particular circumstances.

**OTHER MATTERS**

***Annual Report***

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC ("**Annual Report**"), is incorporated in its entirety by reference into this Information Statement. A copy of the Annual Report as required to be filed with the SEC, excluding exhibits, will be mailed to stockholders without charge upon written request to High Wire Networks, Inc., Attention: Dennis O'Leary, Chief Executive Officer, 3 Columbus Circle, Floor 15, New York, New York 10019. Such request must set forth a good-faith representation that the requesting party was either a holder of record or a beneficial owner of our Common Stock on March 12, 2026. Exhibits to the Annual Report will be mailed upon similar request and payment of specified fees. The Annual Report is also available through the SEC's website free of charge (www.sec.gov).

As the requisite stockholder vote for the action described in this Information Statement was obtained upon the delivery of written consent from the holder of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of our equity securities, **WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.** This Information Statement is for informational purposes only. Please read this Information Statement carefully.

***Stockholders Sharing the Same Address***

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single set of proxy materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as "householding," potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

One set of information statement materials will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless the affected stockholders have submitted contrary instructions. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be "householding" communications to your address, "householding" will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If you no longer wish to participate in "householding" and would prefer to receive a separate set of information statement materials, please notify your broker or us. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the information statement materials at their addresses and would like to request "householding" of their communications should contact their brokers or us. Please direct your written request in this regard to us at 3 Columbus Circle, Floor 15, New York, New York 10019.
