IMPORTANT NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS: Brower Piven Notifies Shareholders of Securities Class Action Lawsuit And Encourages Investors Who Have Losses In Excess Of $100,000 From Investment In Global Digital Solutions, Inc. To Contact Brower Piven Before The Lea

STEVENSON, Md., Aug. 25, 2016 -- The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of purchasers of Global Digital Solutions, Inc. securities (OTC:GDSI) (“Global Digital” or the “Company”) securities during the period between October 8, 2013 through August 12, 2016, inclusive (the “Class Period”).  Investors who wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until October 24, 2016 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.

If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and be selected by the Court.  The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement for the Class in the action.  The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in Global Digital securities during the Class Period.  Members of the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff.  No class has yet been certified in the above action.

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants’ failure to disclose during the Class Period that Airtronic USA, Inc.’s (“Airtronic”) original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) supplier agreement did not exist and Global Digital was requested to remove statements about the OEM supplier agreement from its website by the CEO of Airtronic, Global Digital had no credible financing in place to acquire any company, Remington Outdoor Company, Inc. (“Remington”) had no interest in Global Digital’s unsolicited acquisition offer, and Remington had already rejected Global Digital’s offer on several occasions.

According to the complaint, following a December 2, 2013 failure to consummate the merger with Airtronic, a March 12, 2014 Bloomberg report dismissing the potential sale of Freedom Group, and an August 12, 2016 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announcement that it charged the Company and certain officers with defrauding investors by issuing false and misleading press releases that the Company was a budding leader in cyber arms manufacturing and security technology solutions, the value of Global Digital shares declined significantly.

If you have suffered a loss in excess of $100,000 from investment in Global Digital securities purchased on or after October 8, 2013 and held through the revelation of negative information during and/or at the end of the Class Period and would like to learn more about this lawsuit and your ability to participate as a lead plaintiff, without cost or obligation to you, please visit our website at http://www.browerpiven.com/currentsecuritiescases.html.  You may also request more information by contacting Brower Piven either by email at [email protected] or by telephone at (410) 415-6616.  Brower Piven also encourages anyone with information regarding the Company’s conduct during the period in question to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.
