Retirement of derivative based debt also greatly strengthens our position for our planned major market up list.”
Ashkan Mapar, Principal and Portfolio Manager at Triton Funds, commented “We conduct due diligence on, and consider investments in myriad companies. Very few of those pass our strict requirements and satisfy our metrics for investment. We are excited to have Data443 be one of the few companies to join our list of portfolio investments. The company’s recurring revenue model and dynamic offering of products and services in the cybersecurity marketplace makes for a sustainable model and unlimited growth. We were further impressed with Jason’s vision for the future of the company and we have confidence in his ability to lead the company to great success. Triton takes great pleasure in being a financial and strategic partner of Data443.”

As such, the Company has increased its authorized number of shares of common stock from 1.5 billion to 1.8 billion.
