High Wire Networks, Inc. Approves Name Change to O'Leary Industries

What Happened

  • On March 17, 2026, High Wire Networks, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) received a written consent in lieu of a special meeting from the holder of a majority of its voting power. The written consent was executed by Dennis O'Leary, who holds 16,597,353 shares of common stock and 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, together representing 38,897,044 out of 43,724,884 total votes outstanding (approximately 88.96%).
  • The written consent approved changing the company’s name from "High Wire Networks, Inc." to "O'Leary Industries, Inc." The action was taken under Nevada law (no shareholder meeting was held).

Key Details

  • Voting power supporting the action: 38,897,044 of 43,724,884 total votes (≈88.96%).
  • Consent date: March 17, 2026; Form 8-K filed March 23, 2026.
  • Name change will become effective only after: (1) the company files and mails a definitive information statement on Schedule 14C and at least 20 calendar days elapse after mailing, (2) FINRA approves the related corporate action, and (3) the company files a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State.
  • No other corporate actions or ticker changes were disclosed in this filing.

Why It Matters

  • The filing documents a formal shareholder-approved rebranding: the company has authorized a name change but it is not yet effective. Investors should expect an information statement to be mailed and regulatory (FINRA) approval before the new name takes effect.
  • The approval was driven by a single controlling shareholder (Dennis O'Leary) holding nearly 89% of the voting power, which explains why the change was made by written consent rather than a shareholder meeting.
  • Retail investors should watch for the Schedule 14C mailing and any subsequent SEC or FINRA notices for timing and any additional details (e.g., ticker change, corporate actions) that could affect trading or account records.
