A Corporate Rebranding: High Wire Networks Set to Become O'Leary Industries

Dennis M. O'Leary takes 80% ownership, becomes CEO, and initiates corporate rebranding from High Wire Networks to O'Leary Industries, Inc. following a strategic acquisition.

A sweeping transformation is underway at High Wire Networks Inc. (HWNI), extending far beyond a simple name change. The company is poised for a fundamental corporate identity shift following a decisive change in ownership, with new majority shareholder Dennis M. O'Leary taking direct control and imprinting his name on the organization's future.

Leadership and Strategic Overhaul

The catalyst for this corporate metamorphosis was a transaction completed on March 3, 2026. Through a share exchange agreement, High Wire Networks acquired Thoth Aerospace Inc., a company solely owned by Dennis M. O'Leary. As compensation, O'Leary received more than 16.5 million shares of common stock in High Wire Networks. This transaction resulted in O'Leary holding approximately 80% of the company's fully diluted capital. Furthermore, through the acquisition of Series B Preferred Stock, he secured control of about 89% of the shareholder voting rights.

This shift in equity ownership triggered an immediate and comprehensive change in executive leadership. Mark W. Porter resigned from all his positions, including his roles as Sole Director and Chief Executive Officer, effective March 3. Dennis M. O'Leary was appointed to the role of CEO on the same date, assuming the helm of the company.

O'Leary brings a background in technology and infrastructure ventures, having previously founded Sulu Electric Power and co-founded DarkPulse Technologies. His ascent marks the second major rebranding for the entity in just four years; it was known as Spectrum Global Solutions until it was renamed High Wire Networks in early 2022.

The Path to a New Corporate Identity

With controlling interest firmly established, O'Leary has formally authorized the company's renaming to O'Leary Industries, Inc. via written consent. However, several regulatory steps must be completed before the change is official. The process involves a defined sequence of actions:

• Distribution of an Information Statement (Schedule 14C) to the shareholder base.
• Adherence to a mandatory 20-day waiting period following the statement's filing.
• Securing final approval for the name change from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
• Filing amended articles of incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State.

Only upon the conclusion of this process will the company's current ticker symbol, HWNI, be retired. Market observers will be watching closely to see how O'Leary integrates the firm's existing Overwatch cybersecurity portfolio into his strategic vision or if he will steer the company toward entirely new business operations.
