As part of the agreement, UEG will become the sole and exclusive distributor for Dotz in the South Africa and China markets for a period of two years, for items such as facemasks, medical gowns, medical gloves and other protective gear. “Unique technological solutions Dotz chairman Bernie Brookes said: “This significant agreement for the company is a direct outcome of the recent strategic focus and efforts initiated by the board and management. “It clearly demonstrates the strong relevance and business potential of Dotz’s unique technological solutions, aimed at improving worldwide trade, during and post the COVID-19 pandemic.” Under the agreement, Dotz shall grant UEG 3 million unquoted options with exercise price of 4.8 cents vesting on a pro-rata quarterly basis over the 2-year term of the agreement, with a term of three years from the date of the agreement.   Dotz is expected to receive A$1.53 million in revenue over the term of the agreement.      COVID-19 Disinfection Verification System In parallel to the effort to harness its technology used for authenticating face masks, Dotz is in the final stages of developing a COVID-19 Disinfection Verification System (DVS) where the disinfection fluid applied on any surface, can be verified to ensure that there are no blind spots or neglected areas. The DVS uses a Dotz detector to visualise the proper application of disinfection liquids on the surface. DVS can be used on any surface including in planes, trains, buses, hospitals and any buildings or offices.
