SACRAMENTO, Calif., April 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Digital Solutions, Inc. (OTC: GDSI), a Company that is positioning itself as a leader in Automotive and Aviation Technology Solutions, provides a corporate update from CEO William Delgado.
Collections
The Company has begun collection efforts regarding our $195M damages award. Although unable to discuss specifics, I can say that we have engaged one of the preeminent worldwide security firms to head up these collections. This securities firm has offices in Brazil and will be working with our Brazilian counsel and our team at Boies Schiller Flexner.
Automotive Technology
The Company has engaged an automotive technology consultant to begin the process of finding the best way to utilize the assets in Brazil. This will include evaluation of electric vehicle supply and/or parts, along with general manufacturing that is currently underway at the plant.
Aviation Technology
The Company has scheduled its final flight testing for the PALS system, which we are expecting to begin in mid-May. We look forward to providing updates on our testing contractor as we approach the scheduled testing date. We are also looking at other advanced aviation technology solutions for the PALS product, including aircraft spacing and noise abatement.
Damages Appeal
Rontan and the Bolzans have indicated they would be appealing certain segments of the judgement and damages. Although it is still early, the Company believes that the court was very thorough in its final outcomes and we remain very confident that the segments that can be appealed will be upheld. Since no bond has been secured, all of our collection efforts will continue at full speed and unabated.
