/ ACCESSWIRE / January 11, 2024 / Samsara Luggage, Inc. (OTCQB:SAML) was formerly a manufacturer and distributor of luggage and following a change in business direction, the company is now a Mergers and Acquisitions company focused on acquiring and growing companies in the public safety sector. This change in business direction follows the acquisition of the majority stake in SAML by Ilustrato Pictures International Inc. (OTC: ILUS).

As per the Form 8-K filed by SAML on January 9, 2024, the company confirmed that ILUS acquired a convertible note from YAII PN, LTD with outstanding principal and accrued interest of $600,684.93. On January 5, 2024, ILUS converted the note into 150,753,425 shares of SAML common stock. As a result of the conversion, as of January 5, 2024, ILUS acquired control of 91.5% of the outstanding shares in SAML.

SAML confirms that its existing luggage business will be spun out and ILUS intends to merge in several of its existing Emergency Response focused companies in return for a stock consideration to Shareholders of ILUS. The company confirms that going forward, it will function as the Emergency Response subsidiary of ILUS, known as Emergency Response Technologies (ERT).

This shall take place in connection with a short form merger with its wholly owned subsidiary, Emergency Response Technologies, in accordance with NRS 92A.180. The corporate action will be submitted to FINRA and will be effective once a market effective date is provided by FINRA.

Following execution of its initial growth plan, SAML intends to uplist to a major stock exchange.
